2 Sketches

Hi everyone!  I had a wee bit of stamping time on Monday and utilized a couple of sketches!  The first one was from The Kraft Journal:

My four top-selling downline received one of these cards:

Here are closeups:

I used the SAB set See Ya Later and papers from the Fresh Prints and Retro Fresh lines, as well as the little banners from Banner Blast. 

The second one was a thank you card for a sweet friend, and it uses the Sweet Sunday sketch challenge 208:

I used some papers that were “gifted” to me, along with vintage images from Established Elegance and French Foliage, in shades of Pink Pirouette and Basic Gray.  It was embellished with some shabby seam binding, a glimmer heart and an organdy rose; sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners:

One of Cassidy’s special treats when she has a sleepover is to make popcorn.   She is just fascinated when that mountain of popcorn begins to come out of the chute!  She calls it a snowbank of popcorn!!!  It was a worthwhile yard sale investment of $4, whenever I see that look on her face!!

And she doesn’t like it when Grammy sneaks a piece from her bowl, LOL!

Enjoy your day!

Paper Players 182

Hi everybody!  Yay, it’s Sunday, and that means a new Paper Players challenge!  Check this one out from the talented Nance:

These are not colors I would normally combine, but look how great they look together!

I used Mary Jo’s Technostamper’s Monday Lunchtime sketch 300:

and the SAB set, See Ya Later!  I added some little “flames” with a gold Painty pen, and added a little extra oomph with the twine from SAB Sweet Sorbet accessory pack!  Love that stuff!

The papers I used were Gold Glimmer, Midnight Muse, Birthday Basics, and some retired Comfort Café.  Simple and easy!

What will you create with these pretty colors?  We can’t wait to see it….share it with us at the Paper Players!  And you can check out the DT’s samples here:

Sale-a-Bration Time!

Hi peeps!  Today’s the day---it’s all around blogland, it’s Sale-a-Bration time!  I finally had a chance to play with some of SAB goodies; I needed a bridal shower card and I thought I could put them to good use:

Maybe this sentiment is more suited to a wedding card, but I think it works for a bridal shower as well.  I used Strawberry Slush, Blushing Bride and Crisp Cantaloupe inks; SAB sets See Ya Later and Banner Blast, and the SAB embossing folder Decorative Dots.  I don’t have the banner punch yet, but you can see how easy they are just to snip out:

And that beautiful Crisp Cantaloupe cord is also a SAB freebie…it’s from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack! 

So if you’ve been putting off ordering some supplies, now is the time to do it!  For every $50 purchase (before tax and S&H), you can choose from a plethora of exclusive stamps and accessories!  Click below to see all the details!

A Plethora of Projects

Happy Wednesday peeps! Wow, did we get hit with some snow yesterday…thank goodness for 4-wheel drive vehicles!!  I spent some time stamping, although these I had made over the weekend to show at my downline meeting.  I promise that I do have some cards made with other than Retro Fresh, but for now, you’ll have to see these!  This is a little birthday gift set, using the Circle Card Thinlits, the Let’s Celebrate stamp set, and the new Sale-a-Bration set, See Ya Later:

The card uses that pretty stretch ruffled ribbon from SU, which keeps the card together nicely:

and here’s the inside:

I wanted to show my downline some cool things made with the Envelope Punch Board, and I found this video showing how to make a 4x4 gift box;  I resized my cardstock to 6x6” and scored it at 2 3/4” and 3 1/4” to make a smaller box, which I decorated with a panel stamped with See Ya Later and topped with a Scallop Tag Topper punch and that cool twine that’s also available during SAB:

And inside, I made 4 little note cards and included envelopes as well:

The sentiment is from the photopolymer set, Another Thank You, and the flower is from the SAB set, Banner Blast.  I gave a lot of my sets some lovin’ with this project!  Thanks for visiting today!
