Stampin' Celebration Challenge!

Hey everyone,

I have another project to share with you today!  For this project, I took my inspiration from Stampin' Celebration Challenge!  We have a fab sketch for you to play along with - I just LOVE sketches!

Here it is ...

So.... I took the opportunity to work ahead (as a Designer for the team, I get the see the challenges weeks ahead - stay tuned, we will soon be looking for more guest designers! ) AND I used the sketch to help prepare one of my projects for my Graduation Segment on Roger's Daytime TV.  

I wanted to make some thing extra special, something that was different than a card.  I chose to make a table decoration to sit beside the cake at a graduation party.  Here is my project....

I used lots of great tools for this project!  My Big Shot of course, the Banner Framelits as well as the Large Numbers Framelits and Balloon Bouquet punch.  

 

I also used 2 new products on the this project....the Thoughtful Banners Stampset and coordinating Duet Banner Punch!  I just LOVE these two together!  This stampset has SO many occasions that can be celebrated, the possibilities are endless!

Make sure you join us for our challenge this week over at Stampin' Celebration Challenge!

Be sure to stop by my blog later this week to see the other projects I made for the Graduation segment at Roger's Daytime!

Happy Stampin'

Just Add Ink for a Teacher Thank you!

Hello there,

I hope your week is off to a really great start! 

This week I am busy making teacher thank you gifts and cards for my kids to take to school with them - the count down is on and they are just SO exctied to be finished school!

I stopped on over to Just Add Ink for some inspiration and what did I see...

Just Add Ink #267....Just Add Typography!

I am sure everyone is having the same thought....what does that mean?  So they also gave us the definition:

"Using font or type to create print"

So, I had a great idea.  Use the paper from the new lightweight DSP paper pack.  One of the sheets has big bold numbers on it and the colour scheme is Basic Black and Very Vanilla - perfect for my two older son's who have male teachers!  

Here is my card...

  

I wanted to use up some of my Chalkboard paper that has recently retired (sniff, sniff) a great option for a teacher card, don't  you think?

 I wanted to coordinate the gift bag so I used some of this great DSP to cover the side of a paper gift bag.  Inside, I added some treats with handmade tag.

Thank you for stopping by!

Birthday with The Paper Players Challenge #239

Hi there!

So glad you stopped by today.  I have a birthday card that I made using the great theme challenge over at The Paper Players!  Be sure to stop on over to check out all of the great cards made using this challenge.  You can do that here.

Their challenge was an easy one to partake in...the challenge was to use a die cut!  Done! I just love my Big Shot - the best tool I own!

 I wanted something really pretty and so chose to use Blushing Bride cardstock, DSP and Ink.  Perfect for a girl friend's birthday.

I also wanted to use some of that yummy Chalkboard cardstock with the chalk ink from the new Occasions Catalogue - a perfect match for the Blushing Bride.  My Banner framelits are my framelit of choice for the pretty card and to meet challenge.  My greeting comes from the Sassy Salutations stampset, which I thought looked great in the chalk ink!

And, to pretty this up a little bit more, I used the matching Flower Medallion Punch and Petal Potpourri stampset.  I then took my baker's twine and added a sweet little bow to finish it off.  

I just love how this turned out!  

 

I hope you like my card and that you found a little 'Inkspiration' along the way!

Happy Stampin'

Field Flowers Thank you

Hello my Stampin' friends,

 

Today I have a card to show you that I made a few weeks ago with my card class, the ladies really enjoyed making this one.  I love these colours and they are desperately trying to get me into a spring kinda mood!  The good news is that our temperatures here in Ontario are trying to go up on the thermometer!  I can't wait for some of these snow banks to melt - some of them are almost as tall as the hydro lines!  ESH!

 

Anyway, onto my card  ;)  I used some great tools to make this card...I used some Coordination's cardstock, Banner framelits and my perfect poka dots embossing folder to create the banner. I sanded my poka dots a little bit so we can see the inside colour of the cardstock - so pretty!     My 'thank you' sentiment is from the Lots of Thanks Stampset.

 

  

 

I used my Field Flowers stampset on Very Vanilla which gives some big beautiful flowers.  I stamped each flower twice once in the Blushing Bride and then once again in Primrose Petals to match the cardstock colours.    The green colour I used for the stem is old olive and I used some of the same colour cardstock to frame out my flowers - ties it all together nicely.

 

I hope you enjoyed my card and some spring inspiration!

 

Happy Stampin'

Paper Craft Crew PCCCS 79 Lovely as a Tree

Hi there!  Thank you for stopping by!

I have a card for you today.  I needed some inspiration for a sympathy card - I tend to put extra pressure on myself when I am creating this type of card and lately I have been needing a few of these!

What better way to get some inspiration than to participate in a blog challenge!  So I hopped on over to Paper Craft Crew and I decided to use one of the oldest stampset in the catalog - Lovely as a Tree.  This set is so awesome, I am sure that is why it has been around so long!

Well, here is my card....

I wanted to try a monochromatic look, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very vanilla, one of my favourite colour combos!

Here are the supplies I used..

Big Shot

Banners Framelits

Circles Framelits

Scalloped edge punch

2 1/2 circle punch

Lovely as a Tree Stampset

Early Espresso Ink

Early Espresso Cardstock

Crumb Cake Cardstock
