Stampin Clelebration Sketch SC107

Hello and welcome!

I am SO excited to have been chosen to be a designer for the Design team at Stampin' Celebration Challenge blog!  What an honour!

Our challenge this week is a sketch - I just love sketch challenges.  They always help me to expand my card designs.  Here is the sketch that we were working with....

...and here is my card....

If you are just getting to know me and my blog, I have three wonderful boys and all three have birthdays in the second half of June!  So, I wanted to use this sketch to make a great card for my youngest who is turning 7 on the 25th. 

I chose the stampset Sea Street and the classic nautical colours red, white and blue.  I used my circle framelits to create the cut outs for our little sea creatures to pop out from.  The crab and lobster just make me smile. 

I used my Bitty Banner Framelits to cut the banner for my greeting as well as the frame for my greeting.  And, the Happy Birthday has come from my brand new Sprinkles of Life stampset.

Be sure to check out all of the great cards over at Stampin' Celebration and join the fun.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Stampin'

Summer Fun with Sea Street!

Hello there!

 

Thank you for stopping by!  I have a really fun card that I made with my card class ladies this week.  It features the Sea Street Stamp set, and the Maritime Designer Series Paper that is in this year's Annual Catalogue!  I just love the colours in this DSP and they are a perfect fit for the colour challenge over at Stampin' Royalty, although I missed it.  But, you must stop by there to see the great cards that have been created! 

 

I thought I would enter this into the most recent challenge over at SUO Challenges.  Their challenge was a summer theme - this fits perfectly!  If you haven't seen the great inspiration there, you must hop on over there too!  SO much talent! 

 

Here is my card......

 

 

 

I started with a Night of Navy Card Base and then a Real Red layer, then I added the DSP onto that.  I cut each layer 1/4 shorter so that you can really see it.  I wrapped some Navy ribbon around the two top layers. 

 

 

I stamped that cute little octopus in Night of Navy and cut him out using the 2 1/2" circle punch.  The real red circle was made using the Circle framelits.  I popped them up using dimensionals.  I used some scrap pieces to stamp and frame my greeting, which by the way is from the And Many More stamp set from the new catalogue as well!  I LOVE this set!  It can be used for SO many occasions!

 

I finished it off with a bow.  This will be perfect for my cousin's little boy who will be turning 2 in a couple of weeks!

 

I hope you enjoyed my card.

 

Happy Stampin'

Father's Day with Rogers

Hello there my stampin' friends!  Thank you for stopping by!

 

I has been a little bit since my last post, but I think I have everything under control for now! 

 

 June is a really busy month for the Gill household...like most people in Ontario, there is the end of the school year which means teacher and bus driver thank yous are being created and delivered, summer plans to be made, Father's day celebrations and for me all three of my children have birthday's this month too! 

 

Although it is always SO much fun to celebrate their birthday's you begin to look like a cake by the end of it all! 

 

Something else that has kept me busy, is I have had a second appearance on the Roger's Daytime TV show!  This time was a father's day theme!  I had SO much fun playing with some new tools and products from the new Stampin'Up! catalogue!  I just LOVE getting some new things for my stamp space!

 

Here are some pictures of my display..

 

 

I got the new Star Framelits!  They are awesome for a mom with boys in hockey!  Perfect for some scapbooking pages, birthday and thank you cards!

 

 

I took my colour cue from the DSP Maritime fun - Red, White and Blue, a real classic.  I added some Crumb Cake to give another base color to work with.

 

I used the Sea Street Stamp set and the DSP to make one of the cards I had on display.

 

I used the Star Framelits and my Mini Star Punch to make this card - we made this one live on TV as well.  Do you see that?  The new catalogue in the background?

 

I also made a card using the new Time Travel Stampset with a calmer feel.  The greeting on all of my projects is from the new set called And Many More - every greeting you can think of is in this set!

 

I couldn't resist getting the Mustache framelit and making some fun mustaches.  We opened my segments with them - my kids loved them too!

 

We finished the show by making a treat holder using the new Hamburger Big Z die!  Oh my!  What a great little box!  I finished it off with some DSP and a paper bow using the Bow Big Die.  The tag is a part of the Hamburger die! 

 

As always it is really fun to see everyone at Roger's!  Thank you to Deanne, the producer and to Melanie and Alex, the two wonderfully talented hosts for a great season!  Enjoy the summer break!

 

I hope my pictures helped with some summer time inspiration!
