Calypso Collage

I started with a Crumb Cake Base added a strip of Calypso Coral cut with the Adorning Accents Edgelits (Item # 125595; $9.95).  I stamped the frame image in Calypso Coral onto the base and cut out the center.  I stamped the leafy image onto Vanilla cardstock, stamping it a couple more times without reinking.  I  stamped the "label image" in soft suede directly onto the same vanilla cardstock.  On some scrap pieces of cardstock I inked up the rose in calypso coral stamped it off on to scrap piece of paper and stamped it onto very vanilla cardstock.  I inked up the thanks so much from Tiny tags in soft suede and stamped it onto the rose and punched out with the 3/4" circle punch and popped it up with dimensionals.  I stamped the butterfly in calypso coral and cut it out, added a crumb cake brad and popped it up with dimensionals.  Lastly, added some soft suede taffeta ribbon and tied it in a knot.

Party Hearty!

I made this card before the new catalog came out. I used my markers….some of them were a little used…I’ve let my daughter use them a couple of times….especially the ones I don’t use very often.  Since it’s been a while since I created this card I can’t remember for sure what colors they are. So hopefully they’re the ones I think it is.

Supplies:
Stamps: Party Hearty! (i’ll update if that’s not the correct name)
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Real Red, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip markers
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Certainly Celery, Pumpkin Pie and White
Accessories: Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon (reverse side), scallop edge punch, modern label punch, and window tag punch.

Love you much

Wow! It's been a while since I posted!

Working forty hours a week (used to staying home with my girls), trying to keep up on house work, training to be a manager.....it just gets to ya after a while. I'll just say things are pretty crazy around here right now.

I made this card a while ago when I first got my Love you much stamp set along with the punch (Heart to Heart) and the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). Now I used to hoard my DSP and now I am regretting it....never thought I'd say that....I have TONS of paper that is now retired and I can't show at workshops or anything....so I made it a goal to start using my DSP. I decided to use half the pack for cards and the other half for scrapbooking. That's another things I need to do more often is scrapbooking.

Anyways...on to the card. I started out with a very vanilla base and layered on a RHR (riding hood red) piece of cardstock.

Next I added a strip of Pink Pirouette and used my scallop punch along the edge. Adhered the strip of DSP to the scalloped piece and added some Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon.

I stamped the main image in Chocolate Chip and used my blender pens to add color. Matted it on a piece of Pink Pirouette.

For the sentiment, I stamped the scallop image on Close to Cocoa and punched it out with the scallop Circle Punch. Stamped it a second time on Very Vanilla with RHR ink and cut out the little heart in the middle and adhered it to the center of the sentiment. Adhered that with dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed my card.

Halloween

I wanted to make a Halloween Card, but realized I didn't really have any Halloween Stamps.

The only ones I had were the ones from the Holiday Blitz Stamp Set. So I got on the internet to check the blogs that I follow and guess what? Heather over at Stamp with Heather posted about how to make a bat with Stampin' Up! punches! Perfect I thought! so this is what I came up with! I didn't have the 1 3/4" circle punch, so I used my coluzzle instead. I misplaced my small star punch (sure I'll find it once we move), so I just used the large star punch, but just a little of the point. If that makes sense?!

I hope you enjoyed my card! I really like how it turned out!

Batty Card:

Stamps: Holiday Blitz and All Holidays

Paper: Basic black, Pumpkin Pie, Kiwi Kiss and basic gray

Ink: Kiwi Kiss and Basic Black,

Accessories: 1 1/4", 1 3/8", 1/2", 1/4" circle punches; 5-petal punch, slit punch, larger star punch. 2 way glue pen and basic gray taffeta ribbon.

Hopefully I remembered everything!!

Finally....something new!

Hello, Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! I'm fighting a darn cold, but am feeling much better than I did a couple days ago. For some reason, mornings are the worst. In the evenings, I feel almost 100%. But anyways....

Last night, I was sitting at my desk wanting to create something, but nothing came to me...... Probably from the lack of creating this past month or so! The above card is what I came up with....not sure how much I like it, but it works! :) I got the color combo from Carrie over at Artistic Avenger. I love her blog, she is so inspiring!

I started with my Almost Amethyst base and stamped it with Polka Dot Background Stamp in Almost Amethyst ink.

I then grabbed my Curly Label Stamp Set from the Curly Label Punch Bundle (I think that's what it's called). It's in the section with the punches. I stamped the "thank you" image in Elegant Eggplant onto Whisper White Card stock. Punched it out with the Curly label Punch from the same bundle and adhered it to a piece of Always Artichoke Card Stock.

I tied a piece of Moss Gingham around a piece of Elegant Eggplant Cardstock. I mounted the "main image" onto the Elegant Eggplant and adhered that to a piece of Mellow Moss Cardstock.

Finally, I adhered all of that to the base of the card with Dimensionals.

Hope you enjoyed my card and thanks so much for stopping by!
