Silhouette Thank You

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is going super! It seems to be going really fast anyway!! I do need it to slow down just a bit - lol! Let me catch up! It looks like it might rain today. That would be nice. Keep the temperatures down and give us a little moisture. We will see. I think it will just blow and give us a lot of dust - ugh!

Today's card was another that we did at club earlier this week. I just love the look of Blackberry Bliss! Such a rich color. This is a pretty simple card!

  • Card base is Whisper White
  • Use the corner rounder to round the top left hand corner of the card base
  • Adhere a strip of Moonlight designer paper to the left side of a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock
  • Round the top left hand corner of the Blackberry Bliss with the corner rounder and adhere to card base
  • Stamp the branch from Serene Silhouettes in Basic Grey onto a piece of Whisper White and round the top left hand corner with the corner rounder
  • Flag one end of a strip of Hello Honey card stock and adhere to stamped panel then adhere to card with dimensionals
  • Stamp the sentiment from Something to Say in Blackberry Bliss and punch out with the oval punch
  • Adhere greeting to a piece of Basic Grey that was punched with the scalloped oval punch ten adhere to card
  • Punch a flower from Hello Honey card stock using the itty bitty accents punches, adhere to card and add a rhinestone
There you have it! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Dotty Birthday

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! I get my hair colored today! Yay!! I love to lighten it up for summer! I am making progress on all my stamping that I need to get done before next Thursday! Wow!!! I can't believe it's coming up so fast! We have been planning this trip since last August! So much to do!! But I do think it's all under control. As long as I don't have anymore surprises like last week when my car decided to die. Ugh! Thankfully that is getting fixed and while it is an unexpected expense, I am relieved it wasn't any worse than it was. 

I had stamp club with some very fun ladies last night! It was fun to get together even though we really missed our friend, Becky. Today's card was one of the club cards from last night. I really like this set! Actually, there are two sets on this card. The dots at the bottom are from a set called Dotty Angles. I think that is going to be a favorite, too! The birthday greeting is from a set called Age Awareness. Again, I think this one will be popular, too! Anyway, both of these sets are photopolymer sets. LOVE them!!! They stamp up really nice and you can place them perfectly! Here are the details:

  • Card base is Sahara Sand
  • Stamp the dots from Dotty Angles in Sahara Sand at the bottom of the card base
  • Make a tag from Whisper White 
  • On the tag start by stamping the "birthday" in Island Indigo at the bottom of the tag and then stamp the "happy" above that (makes it easier) then stamp just the bottom part of the balloon using Tangelo Twist
  • Stamp the balloon again onto another piece of Whisper White and cut out the balloon part (not the string) and adhere to the tag (you will just adhere the bottom part of the balloon to the tag - the rest hangs off)
  • Tie a piece of Island Indigo 1/4" cotton ribbon through the hole of the tag
  • Punch a piece of Tangelo Twist card stock using the dotted ribbon scallop punch and adhere to bottom of tag
  • Adhere tag to card with dimensionals
There you have it! Be sure to check out the early bird savings on the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection! We will be starting soon! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

AYSI 040 & cQc 244

Good morning, Friends! Wow! I actually tried to post this a half hour ago! UGH! I really get so frustrated when my internet won't cooperate! So I hope the rest of my day goes better! I do have a workshop this evening and it is always a fun time to see them! We will be missing Becky as she is still in California recovering. Get well soon, Becky!! I can't believe that there is only a week and a half left before we leave for our trip! Wow! So much to do and so little time!! I had better really focus this week!

Today's card was inspired by two challenges! The colors came from the colourQ challenge and the sketch is from As You See It (a new one for me). I got time to play with some new stamps and I think this set, Kinda Eclectic, is one of my favorites!! Here are the details:

  • Card base is Whisper White
  • On the card base, use post-it notes to mask the top half of the card base
  • Stamp the sunburst image from Kinda Eclectic using Tangelo Twist ink then remove the post-its
  • Stamp the dotted image using Marina Mist ink
  • On another piece of Whisper White, stamp the leaf image in Old Olive and cut out then adhere to card base with dimensionals
  • Stamp the greeting from Something to Say in Night of Navy onto a strip of Whisper White and flag the end then adhere to leaf
  • Stamp the butterfly onto a piece of Whisper White using Night of Navy ink and punch out with the bitty butterfly punch
  • Adhere butterfly to card and add a rhinestone
Very fun and eclectic!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Lost Lagoon of Hope

Good morning, Friends! I hope you are all ready for a great weekend! I know I am! I surely do hope I start getting some great news! And yesterday was a start!! My friend Becky is finally out of the hospital!! Here is for a speedy recovery period so that she can finally come home! We miss you, Becky!! Yesterday I had a massage. On the way there and then especially on the way home I heard a weird noise on the car. By the time I got home the car would not move. Oh great! Had to call a tow truck so we are waiting to hear what that all means. But it doesn't sound good. There was another incident that happened yesterday, too, but I won't bore you all with those details. The day started out great! I got my box of new Stampin' Up! goodies!! But after all this yucky stuff, I just didn't have the energy to go and use it. :( Today I am doing a fun sewing class and I get to see my friend, Sherry! Woohoo!! So maybe this weekend? Well, I will have to do some stamping - lol! Gotta get caught up before I leave!

  • Card base is Sahara Sand
  • On a layer of Sahara Sand, stamp the Hardwood background stamp in Sahara Sand

Leafy Work of Art

Good morning, Friends! I hope you are all having a fabulous week so far! I did get some stamping done yesterday but still have a lot more I would love to accomplish! Maybe today?? Nick had a friend over for the night last night. At 2:00 a.m. I wake up to the smell of popcorn. He and his buddy had taken the hot air popper to his bedroom and were feasting on popcorn while playing video games - lol! Boys! So it took me a while to get back to sleep and then I slept longer than I had wanted to. Time to get the day started!!

Today's card was an experiment. I wanted to try to stamp on watercolor paper using this new stamp set and spritz with some water to see what the effect would be. I think I need to keep working on it.

  • Card base is Crumb Cake
  • On a piece of Crumb Cake stamp the images from Work of Art using Hello Honey, Crumb Cake, and Mossy Meadow inks
  • Adhere stamped panel to a piece of Mossy Meadow and then adhere to card with dimensionals
  • Use the Autumn Accents die to cut the leaf shape from watercolor paper
  • Stamp the leaf shape with the images from Work of Art using Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Tangelo Twist inks (before stamping each image I misted the stamp with some water)
  • After images are dry, stamp the sentiment using black StazOn
  • Loop some linen thread on the back side of the leaf and then adhere to card with dimensionals
  • Thread a piece of linen thread through a Basic Metal button and adhere to card
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!!

Golden Hearts

Good morning, Friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! Our niece is graduating today and it looks like it should be a beautiful day! Although rain is predicted later on. The Junior College World Series starts today, too! While we don't go to all the games, we do like to attend a few. And my parents get here tomorrow! Yeah!!! I went mountain biking for the first time in over 14 years! WOW! I forgot how much I love it! I rented a bike as I don't have one (my other one just got too old and needed way too many repairs). I am renting a different one tonight to see which one I might like better. Now I just need to get myself back into riding shape!! Nick is going to be on the high school mountain biking racing team this next fall. I am really looking forward to that! It's been a busy summer so far! And he's only been out of school since Wednesday afternoon - lol!!

Today's card was sort of an experiment. I am trying to find different ways to use this stamp set. And I think this definitely falls into the different category - lol! I took my color coach and spread out all the blues. The only pain was having to clean in between each ink color.

  • Card base is Very Vanilla
  • Adhere a strip of gold foil card stock to card base
  • On a piece of Very Vanilla, stamp the image from Work of Art in the various blue inks: Soft Sky, Pool Party, Tempting Turquoise, Marina Mist, Island Indigo, Night of Navy

  • Punch a heart from gold foil card stock using the itty bitty accents punch and adhere to card
There you have it! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Peaceful Sand

Good morning everyone! Since school got out late Wednesday morning, Nick has been non-stop! I think I am running him around more now that school's out than when it was in session! And he doesn't have any practices or anything scheduled - lol! I'm glad he's enjoying spending time with friends! So that means I haven't had much time to stamp or spend time stamping in my room. I am hoping to today! I need some more cards for my blog and I need to finish up my June challenges! I had my carpets cleaned yesterday and it feels so good! My parents will be here later this weekend! So much fun!!

Today's card was one that I had originally done for the CCMC color challenge. But I just wasn't all that thrilled with it. I'm glad I changed it. I don't hate this card, just not thrilled with it. I am sure going to miss this set!

Soft Sky, Sahara Sand and Basic Grey are the colors that we are to work with this week! I love all three of these colors but never would have thought to put them together!
