Framed Shop

Good morning, Friends! Man, it is getting so hard to get up this early in the mornings! I can't wait for the weekend when I will be able to sleep in a little! Nick has an orthodontist appointment and then soccer practice tonight. As for me, I need to finish up some design work for next week and then try to work ahead on some design work. I hope I can get a lot accomplished today! My legs are itching to get out for a run but I am still sore from the last one. I may have to postpone that for tomorrow. 

Today's card is another that was created for a display. I think that you can guess that my display was about the Notable Notions set and the Shop Around wheel. Love the vintage look of these images! I am not very good at vintage and so I was thankful for the challenge! I think this one was my favorite! Here are the card details:

• Card base is Baked Brown Sugar
• On card base, use Baked Brown Sugar marker and a ruler to draw a "frame"
• Layer of Baked Brown Sugar that was sponged with Baked Brown Sugar ink then popped up onto card
• A second layer of Baked Brown Sugar that was stamped with the Shop Around jumbo wheel in Baked Brown Sugar and then adhere to card
• Stamp tag image onto Very Vanilla in Basic Grey, cut out and also cut out center part of tag
• Use glue dots to adhere a folded piece of 7/16" Trim behind tag and then pop tag up onto card so that it frames one of the adds (I chose to frame the Queen ad)
• Stamp sentiment from Bring on the Cake in Baked Brown Sugar onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flag one end
• Tuck the other end of the sentiment behind the tag and adhere to card
• The button was made with the Simply Pressed Clay and the Buttons and Blossoms mold then colored with a Calypso Coral marker
• Tie a piece of linen thread through the button and adhere to card
• Finish it off with a large pearl at the tag top

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Grunge Ad

Good morning, Friends! I am posting to you all from my Denver hotel which is my home for this week. My son is doing a soccer camp this week and then this weekend his team has a tournament. And that means we will be moving on Friday to a different hotel - lol! School starts on Monday and I can't wait!! Anyway, I do have a few cards to post and I will try to get them up this week. But hang in there as I will have more to post next week! 

Today's card was made for a display at a team event. I used the Shop Around jumbo wheel for the focal image. I took the rubber off the wheel and I use it on a clear block. Now the stamp is longer than my clear block but I usually don't need the entire wheel at one time so it works out great for me! Here are the card details:

• Stamp Shop Around jumbo wheel using Night of Navy onto a piece of Very Vanilla
• Cut out the ad for the focal image and adhere to another piece of Very Vanilla that is sponged with Baked Brown Sugar ink
• Adhere to Night of Navy
• On a piece of Very Vanilla, stamp greeting from Four You using Night of Navy ink and splotches from Gorgeous Grunge set in Baked Brown Sugar
• Flag the end of a strip of Etcetera designer paper, sponge with Baked Brown Sugar and adhere to Very Vanilla panel 
• Take focal panel and pop up onto Stamped panel and add two mini brads.
• Adhere Very Vanilla Panel to a piece of Baked Brown Sugar and then pop up onto a card base of Very Vanilla

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
