Summer Parties with my Blogging Friends

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I has been a while since I was here to share some of my creations with you.  I hope you are doing well!

It is time to hop around with my Blogging Friends and the theme this month is Summer Parties!  What a great theme!  I had so many ideas, but decided to focus on a gift card holder.

I knew I wanted to use both the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch and the new Forever Greenery Designer Series paper.  There are SO many beautiful greens in this paper, I just love it!  My paper, cardstock and ink colour choices come directly from the patterned paper.

The larger daisy is Whisper White and the smaller two are in Soft Sea Foam.  I punch three flowers for each daisy.  I used my sponge dauber to add some definition with Soft Sea Foam ink.

The gift card holder stays closed by a small strip of velcro.  I purchased at the dollar store and you just cut off what you need.   Cheap and easy! 

The gift card slides right in this flap.

Here are the measurements:

4 1/4" X 9 1/2" Pretty Peacock Cardstock, 
score the long side at 4 1/2". 5 1/2" and 6 1/2"
4 1/4" X 4" Pear Pizzazz cardstock, scored at 1" and 
4 1/8" X 2 7/8" (2)
7/8" X 4 1/8" DSP
4 1/8" X 4" DSP

Finally, my greeting and stamped dots are from the So Sentimental stampset on Whisper White cardstock and was then cut out using the So Sweetly Dies.  I finished it off with a bow made using the beautiful new In-colour ribbon in Just Jade.

Happy Stampin'

Happy Halloween everyone!

I just love this time of year - it is one wonderful holiday or celebration after another.  Today is all things spooky fun and I have some really cute and fun projects to share.

I also decided to pay along with challenge 174 over at Stamp Ink Paper!  They have a super fun challenge this week with the spooky fun theme for today.

 I have been wanting to share these for a few weeks now.  I participated in a local Harvest Market where I sold many of these little hand sanitzer holders.  They were a huge hit!  People kept asking for them even after I was sold out - mental note for next year - Make more!  

This is a CASE (create and share everything) of my favourite demonstrator Erica Cerwin!  This is her design and I decorated them to the theme of the hand sanitizer.  You can find her Youtube video here.

On the first two designs, I used the Cauldron Bubble Bundle!  I used the little cat framelit in the first design and the witches hat stamp and framelit for the second.  The tiny little stars are from this set as well - cute!
 

These next holders were created using the Spooky Sweets Bundle.  A bat punch that gives you three different bats - yes please!  I just had to have this for my collection!

 And finally, I can not go through a fall season without some punch art pumpkins!  They are honestly my favourte!!  Used my oval and circle punches along with my Lemon Bulder punch for the leaves.  

Thank you for stopping by.  I will have more picutes in the coming days of my work at the Harvest Market, as well, tomorrow I have an awesome blog hop for you!  

Be sure to stop in at Stamp Ink Paper to see all of the spooky halloween projects they have instore for us.

Happy Halloween!

Summer time Daisy

Hi there stampers,

I have a quick card to share with you today that is a perfect summer time card.  It is a perfect card to submit to the latest challenge over at Inspire.Create.Challenge
 

The theme is floral!  I just love a nice floral card for the summer time.  I chose to use the Daisy Punch and Daisy Delight Stampset. I pulled some bright and fun DSP to use as my colour cue for this card. Who doesn't love a Navy, White and Yellow combo when you are talking daisies?

I wanted a Thank you card because you always need some of them in your stash.  The sentiments in Daisy Delight have such amazing fonts. 

I left a nice big border using the card base to really bring out the yellow in the center of the daisy as well as in the DSP. 

Thank you for joining  me today.  Be sure to stop on in at  Inspire.Create.Challenge to see all of the amaizing flower power that was created with this challenge.

Happy stampin'

Stampin Celebration Challenge time

Hello everyone,

Thanks for stopping by today!  I have another fabulous challenge to show you today from Stampin' Celebration Challenge blog!  Have you seen our blog lately?  We have a fun new look to our blog.  Check it out and be sure to join in the fun!

This week, we have some sketch inspiration for you.......

Here is the card I created....

My first thought was, what can I make four of?  Then I thought about my Petite Petals stampset with coordinating punch - perfect!  We have so much snow here, and I know some of our friends to the south and east are getting lots and lots of snow, so maybe it was time to add some flowery goodness!

I took my colour cue from the DSP and this pattern is from the English Garden pack.  Whisper White, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow, then I added some Blackberry Bliss for the flowers and greeting. 

I popped everything up on dimensionals to give it some depth and then to finish it all off, I added some of our tiniest rhinestones to the centers of the flowers!  I love that they come in different sizes.  :)

Now....head on over to Stampin' Celebration Challenge and see all of the fab creations that were made with this sketch in mind...and don't forget to join the fun!!

Happy stampin'

A Sassy Thank you!

Good morning my Stampin' friends,

I hope you are having a great weekend so far.  I thought I would share one of the cards we made at my last card class....a Sassy Thank you!

I used two of my favourites stampsets from the Annual Catalogue - Sassy Salutations and Gorgeous Grunge!  They are SO versatile! 

The Sassy Salutations are a great size for the front of a card or even a scrapbook page!  And the Gorgeous Grunge is perfect for subtly filling in those blank spaces you may not want!  Used to make mud marks on a page or card, blood spaltters at Halloween time, water marks for a great nautical theme.....the possibilities are endless!  

Here is the card I made....

My colour combo is Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  I used my Circles Framelits and my Circle punches to make the Whisper White and Crumb Cake Circles. 

The DSP is from the retired fall pack from the most recent Holiday catalogue.  I polished it off with some Whisper White Ribbon and coloured Rhinestones.

Happy Stamin'

Perfect Pennants with the Paper Craft Crew

Hi there,

Glad you stopped by!  I have a card to show you that I created using the sketch over at the Paper Craft Crew challenges blog....in particular sketch #114!

I wanted to use some of my DSP from last year's pattern stack.....and not use it for a Christmas card!  I had birthday on my mind, birthday that can be used for kids or an adult, and this sketch was perfect for it!

Here is my card

My colours are Pool Party,Basic Grey and Whisper White.  

I used my Scalloped Tag Punch, Tiny Star Punch from Mini Merry Punches, retired Star Punch - easily replicated with the Star Framelits - 1/2 " Circle Punch and corner rounder.

The stampset is Perfect Pennants, first stamped in Basic Grey onto the tag, then again in Pool Party on a scrap and used the 1/2" Circle Punch to get just the 'a'.  Then I raised it up using a dimensional.

I hope you enjoy my card.

Happy Stampin'
