flowers and fish!

Hello!  Another two card post today.  Hmmm... I seem to be doing a lot of that lately, lol!  Anyway today I have cards that feature flowers and fish!  First up is my card featuring flowers.  The other day I spent part of my afternoon coloring some images from the Honey Bee Stamps Winter Anemone stamp set with my ZIG markers.  I had been planting daffodils earlier in the day and I guess I had yellow on the brain because I colored my anemones yellow!  Once they were all done I die cut them with the matching dies.  Now I colored all the images prior to knowing that the color combo for Color Throwdown would be yellow, green, red and white.  So I only had to figure out how to work red into my design and I had my card for the challenge!  I went with red enamel dots since I have lots of them and need to use them on projects.   The sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Thinking of You stamp set was stamped in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne on the card base, the flowers arranged in the corner and then I finished with the enamel dots.    Also going to post this to the Flower Challenge.  This month it is anything goes.

The second card features the fish, obviously!  This one is heading to CAS(E) this Sketch and CASology (the theme there is ocean). In order to make my idea work for the CTS layout I turned it on it's side.  I recently got the March My Monthly Hero kit.  It is jam packed full of stamps and dies.  I purchased this kit because I have two other ocean theme My Monthly Hero kits from previous years and I knew they would work perfectly with the new kit.  I used two of the Hero Arts reactive inks that come in the kit.  One called Sea Glass was used to ink up the white cardstock panel for my bit of ocean.  The second color called Blue Water was just to stamp the kelp.  I then stamped two fish one in an emerald green and the other in a color called Tranquil Tide.  It is a blue/green/gray color.   Die cut them with the matching die.  I splatted on some water and them removed it with a towel to get the look of bubbles.  The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne.  I die cut the panel with a rectangle die, adhered it to a light gray card base and added some of the little droplets that come in the kit.  I think I will post this over at Less is More, too, as I did use the kelp image three times and there are three of the droplets.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

happy birthday...

Hello!!  Popping in with a card for a few challenges.  Last year my sweet friend Lisa and I had a little challenge going where we would both play along with the CASology challenge to see how each would interpret the challenge.  But as the holidays approached we had to focus on other things.  The other day Lisa contacted me and asked if I wanted to play along with this week's CASology challenge to which I said "yes"!  I'm also going to add this to the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge as my design is based on the current sketch and to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of winter birthday.  When I saw the CASology cue word I immediately thought of my AJVD birch tree die.  I cut the die four times and adhered them together using spray adhesive.   The bird is included in the die set and was cut from red mirror cardstock.  A panel of watercolor cardstock was scribbled with a light blue ZIG marker and the color blended out with clean water.  Once that was dry I stamped the sentiment (from the AJVD stamp set Happy Birthday) in VersaFine Onyx Black and then adhered the birch trees and bird.  The panel was then adhered to a light gray cardstock base.

Hope you have a wonderful day...

pineapple welcome...

Hello!!! Well... the weekend is finally here!  Had a crazy, busy week which once, again, left me with little to no time to craft... oh well... that is life, lol!! But I did manage get find a little time to make a card for the current CASology challenge (welcome) that uses the color combo from Color Throwdown.  When I saw the CASology cue I immediately thought of my Concord & 9th Pop Art Pineapple set.  Pineapples are a traditional symbol of hospitality and welcoming people so it was the perfect image for the challenge.  I also used Concord & 9th's Tree Ring Background stamp.  I stamped the tree ring using a light blue ink (Hero Arts Cornflower) on a white cardstock panel.  The panel was then trimmed down.  The pineapple was stamped using orange ink (SU! Pumpkin Pie) and the top using a dark green (SU! Gumball Green).  I brushed some Diamond Stickles onto the pumpkin which smeared the ink a bit, but I like how it looks. I used the orange and green inks to stamp the banner and sentiment. Everything was then die cut with the matching dies.  Once the pineapple was dry I assembled the rest of the card.  I added some silver thread behind the pineapple and then partially embossed the panel with my favorite embossing panel (SU!'s Decorative Dots which is now no longer available).   I have included a close up of the pineapple so you can see the silver thread.

Hope you have a wonderful day..

always time for coffee...

Hello!!  Lisa and I are continuing out little challenge revolving around CASology. This week the cue word is coffee.  While I'm not a coffee drinker I do have several coffee related stamp sets.  I pulled out an old one from Whimsy Stamps called Coffee Break.  This set also has matching dies that include a little to go cup, wrapper and lid.  I used the color combo from this week's Color Throwdown, as well as the layout from Freshly Made Sketches.  I die cut the main cup from the blue/green cardstock and the wrapper and lid from cream.  The sentiment was stamped in dark brown ink (looks almost black really!) on the wrapper and then everything was adhered to the cup. A panel of cream cardstock was die cut and then I used a strip of red houndstooth washi tape to bring in the red and  added a thin strip in a neutral color.   Finished by adhering the panel to a dark brown cardstock base. 

Hope you have a wonderful day!! Make sure you stop by Lisa's blog to check out what she made for the challenge.  I know it will not only be clean and simple but also super clever!!

spooky...

Hello!!  As our crazy fall weather continues Lisa and I are weathering the storm (ha ha!!) by playing along with CASology.   This week the cue word is spooky and initially I didn't think I would be able to make anything because to be honest Halloween is not big at our house and so I don't have many Halloween themed stamp sets, but then I remembered my PTI Spooky Sweets set... perfect for the challenge!!  I recently purchased some spider web doilies and I used one as a stencil to create my spider web.  I taped the doily down and then pounced on the gray ink.  Once that was done I stamped the spooky sentiment and added some googlie eyes.  A little spider was stamped in the center of the web.  Conveniently there is a rather large spider living right outside one of our kitchen windows so I was able to make sure I had my spider correctly oriented on the web!  I added some glitter to the spider's body for an extra bit of fun.  Since this has a spider on it I'm going to add it to the new Less is More challenge to use an insect or spider.  The new challenge at CAS on Sunday is Halloween so I will add my card to that challenge as well.

Hope you have a wonderful day and make sure you check out what Lisa created.  I'm sure it is clever and spooky!!

hello... baby...

Happy weekend!!   Lisa and I are back at it with our little CASology challenge.  This week's cue is 'cute' and that is not something I'm good at when it comes to card making.  Lisa on the other hand is the master of super cute cards so I know her card will totally rock the challenge.   I do have a couple of stamp sets that could be considered cute and one of them is the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby set.  I mean... come on... what is cuter than a bunny or a baby???  I stamped the two bunnies from the set in VersaFine Smoky Gray and then colored them with ZIG clean color markers in a light brown/gray and a light gray and clean water.  Once the bunnies were colored up I added a little touch of pink for their noses and some light brown to the bigger bunny's ear.  I flicked on ZIGs in two shades of green and then blended the two colors out with clean water.  Once the panel was dry I trimmed it down slightly and adhered it to a light gray cardstock base.   I added some light gray enamel dots, as well.  My layout is based on the new layout from CAS(E) this Sketch and so I will be adding it to that line up as well as the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.

Hope you have a wonderful day... please head over to Lisa's blog and check out her card I know it is beyond cute!!

hello...fall...

Hello!! Yes... fall is officially here and with our weather being so lovely making fall inspired cards is not hard to do!!  As some of you might know my sweet friend Lisa and I have been doing a little personal challenge involving CASology.  I didn't participate last week because I just couldn't come up with a good idea for their cue word, but this week was totally different.  When I saw the cue word I immediately hit upon an idea and thankfully it worked!!  I don't know about you, but I have had a ton of "great" ideas that do not turn out great, lol!!  I will be posting this to ColourQ as I used that color palette (it is very fall inspired) and since I used Simon Says Stamp products for my card I will be adding it to this to the SSS flickr challenge.  As my starting point I die cut a frame from Ruby Red cardstock using two Spellbinders plain square dies.  I then stamped the leaves from the SSS set Apple of My Pie using the Hello Honey and Pumpkin Pie inks.  The outline leaf was stamped using Hero Arts Latte ink.  The glasses from the SSS set I See You were also stamped in the Latte ink and then die cut with the matching die.  The sentiment (also from I See You) was stamped in the lens.  I die cut the panel with the leaves stamped on it and then added the frame and the glasses.  I finished up by adding the sentiment "fall" (from a Hero Arts set) using Ruby Red ink.  So... I have some "frames" (glasses) within a frame! 

 Hope you have a wonderful... please let me know what you think and make sure that you head over to Lisa's blog for a look at her project... I know it is super clever!

with sympathy...

Hey friends!!  Popping in with a card that I made for the current CASology challenge.  Lisa and I have been  enjoying our little challenge involving CASology so we keeping it going!  I like Jennifer's sketch so much I used it, again, for my card so I'm going to add this to the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of stamp it.  Not a lot of stamping on my card... but my sentiment is stamped!  Took me three time to finally come up with something that worked for the CASology cue word of beach.  I have only one stamp set that would work for a beach inspired card, but nothing I tried using that set worked.  So I went fell back on the other beach themed item I have... my Reverse Confetti sand dollar die.   I watercolored some Ranger watercolor paper with ZIG markers in two shades of grey and then die cut the sand dollar and the "star".  Another piece of watercolor cardstock was colored with light blue and light brown ZIG markers to look like the beach and the ocean and once it was dry die cut with the largest tag from the RC Tag Me die set.  The banner layered behind the sand dollar is also an RC die.  The sentiment is from the RC Petals 'n Posies stamp set and was stamped in black ink.  I layered everything up on a white cardstock panel and then mounted it on a kraft cardstock base. 

Hope you have a wonderful day... please stop by Lisa's blog to see what she came up with.  I know it is something clever!!

in stitches...

Hey friends!!  Well... summer is winding down and I'm trying to get back to crafting so I decided to play along with CASology.   This week the cue word is "stitch" and I had a few ideas as to what I wanted to do.  I have some stitching dies from PTI and I knew that I wanted to use actual stitching on my card.  I used four of the dies from the PTI Stitching Lines dies to create my stitching lines. The panel was then die cut with an AJVD Stitched Dot rectangle die. I used the colors from the current Color Throwdown challenge of yellow, blue, red and green.  I pulled out my huge collection of embroidery floss and found floss to match the Color Throwdown combo.   As I stitched each line I left a tail at the top and the bottom for s little added interest.  The sentiment is from the AJVD Quilt Quotes.  I die cut the smallest rectangle from the Stitched Dot rectangle die set and then stamped it with the sentiment.  Copic markers in the same colors were used to color in the word "stitches".   I adhered the sentiment to my panel and then everything to a light grey cardstock base and I was done.   Very clean and very simple!!  I'm also adding this to the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge to use stitching (real or faux) and to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.

Hope you have a wonderful day...   Lisa and I are both participating in the CASology challenge so please check out what she created here!

go with the flow...

Hello friends!!!   Happy Friday!!  Lisa and I are continuing our little challenge revolving around CASology.  This week the cue word this week is watercolor.  I have been having so much fun watercoloring with my ZIG clean color markers that I was definitely up for this particular challenge.  Lisa and I will be taking a little break from the challenge next week as I will be away for a little vacation with my boys down on the Washington coast.   With our impending trip to the coast (and the fact that I live super close to Puget Sound!) water has been on my mind a lot lately, lol!   When I saw the cue word I immediately thought of the underwater themed stamp and die set that I got from Hero Arts as part of their July My Monthly Hero kit.  I checked last night to see what the new colors were going to be from Color Throwdown and I got to work.  I was a little surprised when I checked the new Freshly Made Sketches layout to see that it was so similar to what I had done last night when I started working on my card.   Don't you just love it when that happens??  I started by stamping a coral and jellyfish image on some watercolor cardstock with VersaMark watermark ink, applied clear embossing powder and then heat set.  When I saw the Color Throwdown  combo I interpreted the aqua color as being closer to blue than green so hopefully this will still work for the Color Throwdown team.  I scribbled a light blue ZIG marker on to my cardstock over the areas when I had stamped the images and then blended it out with clean water and a small paint brush.  Once I got the look I was going for I let my panel dry.  The octopus image from the set was stamped on white cardstock using kraft colored ink and then die cut with the matching die.  I stamped the sentiment on a thin strip of cardstock and wrapped it with some thin brown twine.   I trimmed down my watercolor panel and the adhered the octopus and the sentiment strip.  Adhered some kraft cardstock panel to my card base and then the main panel.   A few little star sequins were added and I was finished.   

Thanks for stopping by today... I so enjoy reading your comments!

love makes the world...

Hey friends!!  Hope your week has been going well.  We have been having some beautiful weather here in the Pacific Northwest!!  With all this good weather my crafting time has been cut down, but I did find time to create a little card for the current CASology challenge.  Yep... Lisa and I are continuing our personal little challenge revolving around CASology.   I also used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the color combo from ColourQ so I will be adding my card to those lineups and the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.   I have had the Concord & 9th Map Love stamp set for well over 6 months and have been wanting to make something with it.  When I saw the CASology cue word of Journey I immediately thought of this set.  I realize that some may not understand what connection my card may have to the cue word, but there is one, lol!  Obviously the earth journeys around the sun, but love is also a journey and one of the most rewarding journeys that we will ever take!!  I also think that stamping is a journey.  When I started my stamping journey I didn't know much, but as I have traveled this road I have learned a lot, had a lot of fun and met some pretty nice people!  So... there you have it... my take on the cue word.   Now that I have that explanation out of the way I will say a little bit about my card which is pretty straight forward I think. I thought the FMS layout was perfect for this type of card.   Lots of white space, a nice visual triangle created by the sequins and a pleasing arrangement of the colors.  Oh... and I managed to have pretty much everything in the lower third of my card!   This kind of card reminds me why I like clean and simple designs so much!

Thanks for stopping by today... would love to hear your thoughts on my card!  Please make sure you head over to Lisa's blog to check out her card.  I know it is going to something super clever!

Another Round of CASology with Lisa!

Hey friends!!  Well... Lisa and I are at it again.  We have challenged each other to make a card using this week's CASology cue word of rough.   I also used the new layout from CAS(E) this Sketch so I will be adding my card to their gallery, as well.  I have been wanting to get some woodgrain cardstock for sometime now and when I was at my local craft store, Artco, I saw that they were carrying Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain cardstock so I picked up a packaged.  When I saw the cue word it made me think of the woodgrain carstock as it has a rough texture.  I die cut a daisy from the cardstock using an A Jillian Vance Design Daisy Trio die set and then I colored it with a yellow ZIG Clean Color marker (I just can't seem to create a card without them right now!!) and some clean water.  The sentiment (which also fits the rough theme) from the A Jillian Vance Design Get Well Wishes was stamped on black cardstock using VersaMagic watermark ink, I applied white embossing powder and heat set it.  I think I will add the sentiment "I am here for you" to the inside of the card.  The background cardstock is Tim Holtz Motif Resist cardstock and also has a woodgrain texture.  I applied some light grey ink to the resist cardstock for a subtle background for the daisy.  Today has been a weird day with is sort of gloomy, but then sort of sunny.  It made it hard to get a good picture of my card and in most of the pictures you could not see the grey inked background.   Finally I was able to get a good photo this afternoon!

Thanks for stopping by today... I would love to hear your thoughts!  Make sure you check out what Lisa made... I know it will be something super clever!!

a canvas to imagination...

Hey friends!!!  Lisa and I had so much fun last week challenging each other to make a card for the CASology challenge that we decided to take up the challenge, again!  This week the cue word at CASology is "art".  When Lisa contacted me and asked if I wanted to do the challenge I emailed her back that I would give it a go, but thought I would have trouble.  I can't believe how wrong I was, lol!! Within minutes of sending off that email I had an idea for my card.  When my husband and I first started dating we would often go to different art shops.  While we were at one I spotted an art poster of Picasso's Don Quixote.  I'm not a huge fan of Picasso, but I absolutely fell in love with that particular Picasso so my hubby (then boyfriend) bought it for me!! Fast forward about 15 years and I found a stamp of Don Quixote and I just had to have it.  I used that stamp on my card.  I inked up the sun in some chartreuse ink and then the rest of the image in Simon Says Stamp Fog.  The sentiment is from the Reverse Confetti set Peacock Pretties and was inked up using Hero Arts Mermaid Ombre ink pad.  I die cut the image with a polka dot rectangle die and then mounted it on a black cardstock base.   What better way to use the cue word then to use a piece of art!

Thanks for stopping by... please make sure that you head over to Lisa's blog to see how she was inspired by the cue word!

you made my day...

Hey friends!!!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend!!  On Thursday (July 7th) I got to see one of my most favorite people the super sweet and super talented Lisa Lara.   We usually meet somewhere for a walk and then lunch.   While we were having lunch Lisa put forth an idea that I thought would be a lot of fun.  Both of us would participate in the same challenge and then link our cards to each other's blog so you can see how we interpreted the challenge.  The challenge we chose to participate in this week is CASology.  The cue word at CASology is chevron so I really had to put on my thinking cap to come up with a good idea, but I was excited to give it a go.  When I got home I finished up a couple of other card ideas I had going (posted here) and then got to work on my card for the CASology challenge.  I used the color combo from ColourQ and so I will also be posting my card there.  I started by creating a chevron pattern on my white cardstock panel using a Memory Box stencil and SU!'s Marina Mist ink.  Then I layered on all the other images from the SU! set Timeless Textures using the rest of the colors from the ColourQ combo.  I finished by stamping the sentiment from the SU! set Best Day Ever in black and then die cutting my panel using an A Jillian Vance Design Polka Dot Rectangle backdrop die.   I have included a close up of the chevron background because it is so light. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today... I would love to hear what you think of my card and please make sure to head over to Lisa's blog to check out her fabulous design!
