Everything Eleanor Work of Art

Just a short post today to share a card I made in May for a swap I've been participating in.  I don't think I've shared it before.  It was a fun one to design.  I love that Work of Art stamp set from Stampin' Up!®  There is so much you can do with it.  I've seen some flowers designed with it so that is something I want to try.  It makes for a very interesting flower image.

Stamp Sets:  Everything Eleanor, Work of Art, Petite Petals; Inks:  Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Wisteria Wonder; Card Stock:  Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder; Accessories & Tools:  Petite Petals Punch, Gold Sequin Trim, Mini Glue Dots

Four You Thank You

Catchy title, huh?  Just kidding.  Actually, the thank you is from the Four You stamp set from Stampin' Up!®  As much as I would like to attach a special name to each of my cards, I do run out of names.  Then again, would you consider a name special no matter what it is?

The other day I received a very cool card in the mail from Kim Glover.  I've been participating in a swap with a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators for that last few months and have gotten some very nice cards.  I plan to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) several of them.  I needed another thank you card and thought this would be a perfect one for a guy.  I changed mine up just a wee bit and used different colors and I do like how this turned out.

Stamp Sets:  Four You, God's Blessings (retired) Gorgeous Grunge, Work of Art; Inks:  Baked Brown Sugar, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate; Card Stock:  Smoky Slate, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Simply Scored Diagonal Plate, Baked Brown Sugar Sequins, Tombo Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Work of Art Thank You

This week's challenge over at Watercooler Challenges is all about color; Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry.  I had one piece of Crumb Cake card stock left.  Looks like that will be on the top of my list when I place my next order.  You just can't be without Crumb Cake!  These colors worked great together for a thank you card I need to give to a guy.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenge #35

Wow!  Another week has come and gone and they just seem to keep getting busier and busier.  I'm so glad I'm making a Christmas card a week so I can stay on top of that holiday project.  This week's Christmas Card Challenge is 'anything goes.'  For this one, I pulled out one of my favorite retired Stampin' Up!® stamp sets, Bells & Boughs, and did a little bit of paper piecing.  I stamped the first image on Whisper White using Mossy Meadow ink.  Then, I stamped the same image on Strawberry Slush card stock and cut around the poinsettias.  Once cut I glued them to the image on the white card stock, added some embellishments (I love that Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon) and this is the finished card.

One of the things I did differently, is stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card.  Usually, I simply hand write  a note but this year, I'm changing things up a bit.  Instead of writing a mini book in each card, I'm adding a sentiment along with a one sentence personal note. 

Stamp Sets:  Gorgeous Grunge, Bells & Boughs (retired), God's Blessings (retired); Inks:  Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss; Card Stock:  Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Strawberry Slush; Accessories & Tools:  Labels Collection Framelits, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, 3/8" Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon, 2013-2015 In Color Sequins, Pearl Basic Jewels, Tim Holtz Alterations Stripes Embossing Folder (Sizzix), Mini Glue Dots, SNAIL, Dimensionals

Fancy Thank You

Okay, so I needed a thank you card.  Would you believe I have a whole box of them made up and ready to go?  And, yes, I had to make a new one!  When I saw the sketch over at Pals Paper Arts, a design popped into my head almost instantly.  I originally stamped the circle image on the card front but didn't like the flat look so I stamped them again and punched them out.  Much better, don't you think?  The little flowers are punched from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack and matched my ink colors perfectly.  I don't often add a sentiment to the inside of my cards as I hand write a note but I love this one from God's Blessings and it was so appropriate.  Here is the card inspired by the sketch. 

Stamp Sets:  Serene Silhouettes, God's Blessings (retired), Fancy Thank You (Hero Arts); Inks:  Perfect Plum, Lost Lagoon; Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack Flower, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Baked Brown Sugar In Color Sequins, Pearl Basic Jewels, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

Kinda Eclectic Hello

With my ten year old granddaughter, Mariah, visiting for a few days, I've not had many chances to get into my craft studio.  She does well entertaining herself but I love doing things with her when she is here.  We spent yesterday afternoon putting together some past Paper Pumpkin kits and she had a ball.  She is quite creative and has many very cool ideas.  I did manage to sneak in a little solo creating last night and this is the card I made for Freshly Made Sketches.

Happy Birthday, Heather!

My friend and stamping buddy, Heather, has a birthday today.  The card is on its way and should arrive just in time to let her know I'm thinking of her on her special day.  It's been such a busy summer for her, that we've not had a lot of time to spend crafting together.  She loves pink, so I added as much pink as I could to her card but not so much it looked like Pepto-Bismol.  :-)  Because I love blues, I don't have a lot of pink paper on hand but I really like the way this came together.  The sketch made all the difference.

Stamp Set:  Bloom with Hope; Ink:  Mossy Meadow; Card Stock:  Pistachio Pudding, Great White (Darice), Baby Girl Paper Pad (DCWV); Accessories & Tools:  Scalloped Circle Punch, 2013-2015 In Color Sequins, Pistachio Pudding Thick Baker's Twine, Dimensionals

Thinking of You in Shades of Purple

My sister, Terri, loves purple.  She lives in Wisconsin so we don't get to see each other often.  We talk or text on the phone whenever we can.  I was thinking of her today so made her this card using the color challenge I found at The Paper Players.  It's monochromatic although it's hard to see the three different colors I used.  The map is from the Map It Out photoplymer set from Stampin' Up!® and was stamped using Perfect Plum, the little hearts with Elegant Eggplant, the sentiment and borders with Wisteria Wonder.  There is a very small border of gingham checked paper behind the white but it's hard to see as well.  It matches the little heart I punched and added to the lower right.

Stamp Sets:  Map It Out, Gorgeous Grunge, Four You; Inks:  Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant Stampin' Write Marker; Card Stock:  Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Gingham Paper Pad (Creative Imaginations); Accessories & Tools:  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack Heart, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dimensionals

Wild Tangelo Twist Rose

This week's Friday Mashup challenge is all about background or something 3-D or both.  For my background I dug out one of my favorite Tim Holtz stamps and stamped a wood background to showcase my flower.  To color the rose, I stamped the Tangelo Twist ink pad down on my craft mat, spritzed the ink with water then, laid the flower in the diluted ink.  After drying the rose with my Heat Tool, I sprayed it with some Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist to give it a little sparkle.  As you can tell, I still need to get a light of my photo tent.  The picture is a little dark and does not show off the true color of the flower.  It is much prettier in real life.

Stamp Sets:  Work of Art, Tim Holtz Wallpaper and Wood (Stampers Anonymous); Inks:  Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, Tim Holtz Vintage Photo (Ranger); Card Stock:  Mossy Meadow, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Doily (Bo Bunny), Wild Rose Flower (Petaloo), Radiant Rain Gold Pearl Shimmering Mist (Creative Imaginations), Mini Glue Dots, SNAIL

Bloom with Hope

Two challenges, one card.  It's all good.  I love combining a sketch challenge and a color challenge.  For me, it's creating made easy.  Fab Friday's color challenge uses colors I would not necessarily put together.  Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight, yes, but Strawberry Slush... now that one with the others I wasn't so sure about.  Can I just say, I've changed my mind?  I did stamp off the sentiment to give it a softer look.  I was afraid the fully inked stamp would be too much.  And, I loved the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch.  It was perfect for showcasing the flower.  So, here is the finished project.

Stamp Sets:  Bloom with Hope, Kinda Eclectic; Inks:  Coastal Cabana Blendabilities, Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush, Copic Sketch Markers Y13, Y19, Paris Dusk Memento (Tsukineko); Card Stock:  Whisper White, Strawberry Slush; Accessories & Tools:  Dimensionals

Wacky Watercooler First Anniversary Blog Hop

Wow!  It's hard to believe a whole year has passed since the very first Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop.  I'm thrilled to be a part of the celebration.  You've arrived here from Deborah Smart's blog and her great projects.  Our focus for this hop was the new 2014-2016 In Colors and the new Designer Series Papers.  You do know there is a special on this month, right?  It's a Buy 3, Get 1 Free.  You'll definitely want to check that out!

My order didn't get here in time for me to use the new Designer Series Papers I ordered, so I used papers from the new Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack, which is not part of the above mentioned special.  Each card I made does show off the new 2014-2016 In Colors, which are totally fabulous.  I can't get enough of them!

One of the newest stamp sets I've purchased is the Kinda Eclectic and I am loving it.  Paired with our new 2014-2016 In Colors it makes for a very pretty card.  Well, at least I think so.  :-)

Stamp Sets:  Kinda Eclectic, Bloom with Hope; Inks:  Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Smoky Slate; Card Stock:  Wild Wasabi, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Modern Label Punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dimensionals

For the first time that I can remember, I can say I actually like the color orange.  Tangelo Twist just seems to jump out at me and force me to like it.  I saw a similar card in my browsing but the person didn't have a watermark so I don't who to give credit to but I do thank them for sharing it.  If you know who it is, please let me know so I can give proper credit.  The only differences in my card from the original is the orientation and the sentiment. 

Stamp Set:  Trust God; Ink:  VersaMark Watermark; Card Stock:  Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White, Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Owl Builder Punch, White Embossing Powder, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

My third card is an anniversary one to celebrate our year of Wacky Watercooler blog hops.  I am loving the richness of those new In Colors!  Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey look so well together.  Don't you think so?

Summer on The Open Sea

Today would be a rather cool day to go sailing unless you wore your parka!  Yes, the weather is that cool here in Iowa.  It's cloudy, breezy and only 67 degrees.  We are usually in the high 80s at this time of the year.  I guess I can blame it on the Polar Vortex, right? At least the card I made for the Friday Mashup Challenge "summer" theme let me enjoy sailing in the comfort of my craft studio.  What doesn't show up well in the photo, is the sparkly from the shimmer mist.  It looks like sun crystals when the light hits it.

It's a Perfect Match!

Oh my gosh!  I love the Mojo Monday sketch this week and I love the Pals Paper Arts colors and that is what I a perfect match!  The colors immediately had me thinking of my best friend, Sue, who lost her battle with cancer three years ago.  She loved blues and yellows together.

Again, pardon the shadowy photo.  I need to get a replacement bulb for my lamp.  Right now I'm working with only one.  My major, once-a-month shopping spree happens next week so only a few more days to get through with shady photos.

It's a Hamburger Cake!

Yesterday was my grandson, Dustin's, 14th birthday.  I was invited over to help celebrate with burgers on the grill and of course, cake.  A few years ago, my daughter-in-law, Jody, started making cakes for the kids' birthdays.  Each one gets more and more creative.  She usually asks the birthday boy what kind of cake he wants, then she goes on a search and find mission to make it happen.  This year, when asked, Dustin said, "I don't know."  Now that's a very typical teen response to most questions!  :-)  So, Jody, surprised him with this cake.

Oh my gosh!  Dustin loved it!  You should have seen his eyes light up when he realized it was a burger with fries!  He said it out did the dog dish cake she made him last year.  As you can see, this young man was very pleased with his cake.

We had a great time together and we're all looking forward to the next birthday cake.  Nicholas, who is on the left, has a birthday coming up in October.  He has already put his order in and it will be fun to see what Jody does with that one.

Thoughts of You

You can sure tell it is July in Iowa.  The temperatures range in the mid to high 80s, with some 90s, and the humidity is suffocating.  Fortunately, my nice cool craft studio let's me look out the window and enjoy the summer while keeping the heat away.  I spent the afternoon making cards and planning some upcoming classes.  Here's today's card using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch.

Watercolor Wash

It was just plain fun to try my hand at doing some water coloring.  I don't do much of it but it does stretch me when it is offered up as a challenge.  The Friday Mashup Challenge this week was to create a project with a watercolor wash, create a CAS or one with minimal layers or mash it up and use both.  As always, I tried both.

The watercolor wash background was done on watercolor paper.  I used Dimensionals to pop up the background.  Sometimes I have a hard time getting the water color paper to stay stuck, especially after it's been wet.  Of course, I had to use my all time favorite stamp set, Lovely As a Tree!

Watercooler Challenge 3

It's time for another Watercooler Challenge.  This time it's a sketch.  I grabbed my Mossy Meadow and had fun mixing up some of my favorite stamp sets.  I really love that 'you' from the Work of Art stamp set.  As I turned on the lamps for my light tent, one of them burned out so my photo is a little on the dark side.  Those things just seem to happen when you least expect.
