Happy May Day!

 Hello everyone!  I have some exciting news to share... I will now be sharing projects created with the Spellbinders card kit of the month!  If you have never seen the Spellbinders monthly card kit you really need to check them out.   There are also card kit extras available, as well.  The amount of product that you receive in each kit far exceeds the monthly subscription amount of $38.50.    The kit for May is called Beach Day and it is full of fun beachy products like shell stickers and chipboard stickers, a pad of 6x6 papers with a beach theme, as well as a beach themed stamp set and die set.  I had so much fun creating the three cards I'm sharing today and tried to use at least one thing from all the different items in the kit.  UPDATE:  The May kit of the month is now sold out!  You can still get the kit as part of a value club package, but you cannot sign up to buy just the kit.  

First up is a card that I made using a die from the April card kit.   The April kit included a die that creates a little envelope.  I used some aqua cardstock from the May kit to die cut my envelope and then assembled it.   I  pulled out a piece of patterned paper from the 6x6 pad with a water/beach look to it.  I die cut it with the largest Essentials Rectangle die and adhered it to one of the premade card bases.  I then adhered my little envelope and filled it with alot of the shell stickers.  I then added the three chipboard stickers to finish things off.  This card is super dimensional and I'm thinking I may turn it into a decor piece!   I'm going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.

For the second card I used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches.  I layered up a frame on some patterned paper from the kit with the fun beach umbrella, a beachy little handbag and a camera.  I then added the sentiment and a few little star stickers.  

For the final card I used the layout from Mojo Monday.  I die cut some aqua cardstock from the kit and then added the patterned paper per the sketch.   I die cut gold metallic cardstock with a die from the kit.  I actually cut two pieces and adhered them together to create the strip.  You can also use that die to create a frame.   The patterned papers were die cut and adhered per the sketch.   I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with a teal ink and then adhered all the ephemera pieces.  I finished with the little gold stars. 

I just love the soft pretty colors that are found in this kit, as well as the fun beach theme!  You can check out the other club kits by clicking on the Spellbinders link in my sidebar or by clicking here.  Here is a graphic of what comes in the kit:

reindeer and pumpkins!

 Hello!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  I'm popping in with several cards that I made using some products from Spellbinders.  First up are two cards that I made using the absolutely adorable Seasons Greetings Deer etched die set.  This die set was originally available in a Spellbinders card kit from 2018, but so many people were requesting the die set they brought it back as a stand alone product!  You can make all different types of reindeer with the set.   I made a girl reindeer and a boy reindeer.  These cards will be going to my great niece and great nephew at Christmas time.  I used a layout from Mojo Monday for both cards so I will be posting one of them there.   The card for my niece uses patterned paper from a company that is no longer around.  They were from Poland, I believe, and I just fell in love with their line of Christmas papers called Cozy Christmas.  I still have one 6x6 pad that I am hoarding, but I busted it out for this card, lol!  After die cutting all the of the pieces for each dear from the same cardstock (except her nose is pink and she has pink cheeks!) I assembled them.   I created a little pink poinsettia using the included dies for the little girl and a Santa hat and bow tie for the boy.  He also got a red nose that I cover with Glossy Accents to give it some shine.   The patterned paper I used for the boy is from PhotoPlay and is called Kringle & Co.  I cut all the papers, using Spellbinders classic squares and circle dies for those elements on each card and then layered everything up.  The sentiments were hot foiled on coordinating papers using my Glimmer Hot Foil system from Spellbinders.   

Think I'm going to try making this cute little deer into a unicorn!  The main part of the Santa hat would work perfectly for that!

This next card was created using my Glimmer Hot Foil system and I just love how it turned out.  I'm going to post it over at the Inspired By challenge of pumpkin spice.  I was inspired by the theme and pumpkins!  I foiled everything using Polished Brass foil.  Once I was finished with the foiling I die cut the main panel down with a rectangle die.  I colored the pumpkins and foliage with Copic markers.  It works fine and doesn't seem to damage the nibs.  I tried it after seeing Yana Smakula use her Copics to color in foiled images.  I die cut all the images with their matching dies and adhered to the panel.  I added a few sequins in fall colors of brown and yellow to finish off the card.  Love how it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

two cards... one image...

Hello!  Well I seem to be in a cardmaking lately!  I'm trying to use all of the stam

ps and dies that I purchased in November and December.   Today is the day to share two cards that I made using one image.  In either November or December I purchased the beautiful My Favorite Things Floral Focus stamp and die set.  This set consists of a large floral image and different words that can be put together to create sentiments.  The die is one large die that cuts the entire image.  However, the way the image was design there is a way to cut the image apart thus creating two separate pieces.  I stamped the image on watercolor paper and then stamped the image using VersaFine CLAIR Morning Mist ink.  I watercolored the image using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors in the MFT color challenge combo.  I'm really fascinated with using gray to color images and even though I had already created a card using that color combo I really wanted to use it again.  Once the image was dry I added some additional color with my Polychromos color pencils and I then carefully die cut it.  The die is solid and so I had to die cut it first from scrap paper to create a template, arrange the template over the stamped image, fit the die into place and then run it through my die cutter.  It took a little bit of patience to do that, but it worked like a charm. I cut the piece apart and then I created my first card using the layout from CAS(E) this Sketch.  I will also be posting this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge and the MFT color challenge.

The second card uses the layout from Mojo Monday.  I'm going to try to play along with Mojo Monday more often this year.  We will see how it goes.  I left the ribbon element off my card for a more clean and simple design.  Going to post this one to Simon Says Stamp, as well.  No need to explain the process as I already did that for the first card! With this card you can see more of my coloring as on the first card I partially covered that up with my sentiment strip.  I must say that  even though I had to cut the image into two separate pieces I'm really pleased with how well my coloring turned out.  I have been watching lots of videos on watercoloring and learning lots.  Now I have to put it into practice!  I'm looking forward to coloring this image again and using the full image on one card!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

cards with flowers...

Hello!  I'm popping in with two cards that both feature flowers.  First up is a card that I made for several challenges:  CAS(E) this Sketch, The Flower Challenge and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.   I have been wanting to do some coloring ever since I got back from Yellowstone and found the time the other night to color up two images from the Simon Says Stamp Delicate Flowers stamp set.  I stamped the images on smooth Bristol cardstock with VersaFine CLAIR Acorn ink and then colored them with the following ZIG markers:  Carmine Red, Light Carmine Red and Orange.  The little bit of orange gives them that feeling of autumn.  Once they were dry I die cut them with the matching dies.  I adhered them together with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to give them the feel of the two circular elements in the CTS layout.   A few days ago I purchased the Carta Bella Fall Market 6x6 pad and used a piece of paper from the pad for the strip element.  I placed the strip in my stamping tool, arranged where I wanted the flowers to be and then stamped the sentiment (from a very old, but favorite Simon Says Stamp set) in the same Acorn ink.  I then die cut a piece of kraft cardstock with the largest AJVD Stitched Dot rectangle die and then adhered the panel and the strip to an off white cardstock base.  The flowers were adhered with foam dimensionals and I was finished. (Compensated affiliate links used in the body of my blog post where possible.)
 

The second card uses the cute little flowers from the Simon Says Stamp School Days Grow set.  I was going to use the piece for a different card, but in the end it just didn't work.  Then I saw the current Mojo Monday sketch and new it would be perfect once I turned the sketch to be portrait instead of landscape.  The flowers were stamped on smooth Bristol with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne and colored with ZIG markers in pink, yellow and orange.  I used a green ZIG and a blue ZIG to color the grass and sky and then die cut the piece with one of the smallest AJVD Stitched Dot rectangle dies.  I then die cut some super cute patterned papers from the Honey Bee Stamps The Bees Knees 6x6 pad using two other Stitched Dot rectangle dies.   The larger patterned paper rectangle was adhered to a light gray cardstock base and then the sunny yellow/white dotted rectangle was adhered with fun foam to give it height.  I then adhered the stamped panel to that.  Super clean and simple.   Those little flower faces just make me smile!

spring cards...

Hello!  Popping in with a couple of cards that I made for a few challenges.  Both a spring inspired thus the reason for my blog title.  First up is a card for Freshly Made Sketches and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.  I recently purchased the Altenew Dotted Blooms stamp and die set and had been wanting to ink it up.  When I saw the cherry blossoms in the  inspiration photo for the Simon Says Stamp challenge it made me think of that set and so I got to work.   I have to admit it was a bit of a challenge for me to line up the layering images on the flowers, but after one mess up I managed to get two relatively nice branches.  I used Altenew Crisp ink in Blush for the two larger flowers and Rouge for the smaller bud.  I wanted to capture the blue sky from the inspiration photo so I inked up some white cardstock with Altenew Turquoise crisp ink and then die cut it with an AJVD rectangle die.   The sentiment was stamped in the corner with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink.  I found a light minty green patterned paper to cut my strips from and then got to layering up all the elements on a white cardstock panel that I die cut with the largest AJVD stitched dot rectangle die.   The finished panel was adhered to a pink cardstock base.

The second card is for the current Mojo Monday sketch challenge.  I used supplies from the Simon Says Stamp April card kit to create my card.    Because I'm kind of funny about having the scale right when I make a card I used my rectangle dies in a some what creative way to cut some of the elements from the sketch.  It was just a matter of lining things up or shifting them one way or another.   I love that pretty minty green large gingham paper from the kit and paired it with the floral piece.   I die cut the white sentiment panel and then stamped it with a light yellow ink similar to that found in the flowers on the floral paper.   I used a sticker from the kit that I adhered to a scrap of the patterned paper and then trimmed out to give it a bit more stability when I adhered it to the card front with foam dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

sending love...

Hello!  I have a Valentine to share today that works for several different challenges:  Paper Players, Just Us Girls (a challenge I have not participated in for ages!), Mojo Monday and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.   My last Concord & 9th order included the little Sending Love stamp set.   I just love that big heart!  I stamped the heart using VersaFine CLAIR Tulip Red ink and then went on a hunt to find patterned papers that would work with that color!  Thankfully I found some papers from the My Mind's Eye On Trend 6x6 pad that worked.  I got a little crazier with the patterned paper then I normally like to do when I decided to use the diagonal striped black paper for the main background panel.  But sometimes it is good to get out side your comfort zone!  I trimmed out the heart and then layered up all the different die cuts.  I finished off the card by stamping the small sentiment from the set on white cardstock with VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne, trimming it out and popping up with foam tape.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

sharin' some verve...

Hello friends!!  I have a couple of cards to share today that I made using several different stamp sets from Verve.  Love, love, love my Verve!!

 

The first card I made combines the current Viva La Verve sketch (week 1) with the Verve Diva Inspiration challenge Shimmer & Shine.   Last year I purchased the super cute Verve set Rain or Shine, but had yet to ink it up.  As I was looking through my way to large stash of SU! patterned paper I saw this pack that had all these cute little umbrellas.  It was a match made in heaven!  Lots of die cutting and some paper piecing on this little number.  After laying everything up I added some clear rhinestones for a bit of "shimmer & shine".   Pretty darn pleased with how this one turned out!

The second card uses the current Mojo Monday sketch combined with Verve's Diva Dare Smitten challenge.  I used two different Verve sets for this card... On Occasion and Cheveron Love.  The patterned papers are from SU!, as well.  For this card I went a bit shabby and added distress ink to the framed sentiment and then distressed all the edges of the papers.  Some sequins (from Verve) were added to the little die cut hearts (also from Verve).

 

 

Supplies:  Card 1:  Cardstock: PTI white; SU! Marina Mist; PP:  SU!; Stamps:  Verve; Dies:  Spellbinders & Verve; Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, SU! Marina Mist; Rhinestones:  KI; Ribbon:  PTI

 Cards 2:  Cardstock:  PTI cream; PP:  SU!; Stamps:  Verve; Inks:  Ranger, SU! & Memento; Dies:  Verve; Sequins:  Verve



CCC #76... let's celebrate!

Hello friends!!    It is Tuesday (and Christmas Eve!) and that means time for a brand new CASology cue word.  This post is bittersweet for me because it is my last post as a design team member for CASology.  I still remember receiving the private message from Melissa asking me to join her new endeavor called "CASology".  I was surprised and honored that she wanted me to be on her design team!  The last 18 months (yes... it has been 18 months!) have been fill with lots of fun and fabulous cue words.  It has been a joy to work with Melissa and everyone on the CASology team and I will miss being a part of that amazingly talented group... sniff, sniff!  Thank you to everyone who left me lovely comments each week (even on my not so great cards... and there were quite a few!).  I appreciated receiving each and everyone of them!  So that was the bitter part, now on to the sweet... the new cue word!  This challenge will run for two weeks so you will have plenty of time to get your "party" on with this one!  Yep... the cue word is party!   All the details can be found here and we are joined this week by guest designer, Kara!

Months ago I purchase a party hat border die from MFT, but had never used it and so this week's cue was the perfect time to break it in.  I die cut some fun dotty paper from BasicGrey (Shine On) using the die.  A bit more of the paper was used underneath the sentiment to create a cohesive look.  The layout for the card is based on Mojo Monday sketch #324.  I think this is a sketch I may hang onto as it is perfect for clean and simple cards, as well as more complex cards.  The sentiment is from the MFT set Birthday Sentiments.

Thanks for stopping by...I cannot wait to see where this week's cue word "knit" takes you!  In the meantime make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Judy, Meghan, Ardyth, Gillian, Maureen, Kimberly, Tracey and guest designer, Kara.

Christmas... Waltzingmouse Style!

{for my CardMaker blog hop post, click here}

Hello friends!!  It has gotten very chilly here in my part of the world... winter is on its way for sure!!  It has been very frosty in the mornings and my little guy has enjoyed smashing the ice on frozen muddle puddles and walking on the grass crisp with frost as we walk to school.  Playing along with this month's WMS Pajama Party and I have two projects to share with you.  First up is a card that I made for the second challenge "Pick a card, any card so long as it is Christmas".

For this card I used a pretty Christmasy color combo of dark green, dark red and kraft.  The layout is based on the current Mojo Monday sketch.   I used the two WMS Christmas sets that I own:  Nutcracker Sweet and Vintage Christmas Labels.  I stamped the tag from Vintage Christmas Labels in SU!'s Cherry Cobbler, trimmed out and stamped with the sentiment.  I used to own the Spellbinders labels dies that matched this stamp, but they have disappeared!   The tree from Nutcracker Sweet was stamped using Always Artichoke ink and trimmed out, as well.  The red cardstock piece was embossed with a PTI chevron coverplate.  After layering everything up I added some bling to the tree and a bit of ribbon and twine to the tag. 

The second project is for the third challenge, Tag you're it!  I don't often make tags, but decided to give go since I really wanted to use one of the nutcracker images from Nutcracker Sweet.  I went with an aqua/grey/white color combo for this one.  I used some SU! dp called Winter Frost.  A white cardstock tag was die cut using the Penny Black Tag It die.  A second tag was die cut from the patterned paper and adhered to the white tag.  I die cut a partial tag from aqua cardstock and adhered it to the tag.  The nutcracker was stamped in grey, trimmed out and popped up on the tag.  The sentiments were added using black ink.   I added a scattering of sequins.  Not sure I really like the "wreath" that the nutcracker is holding, but it is what it is...

ODBDSLC112.... Summertime!!

Hello, friends!!  Its Saturday and that means time for a new ODBD Shining the Light challenge... YAY!!  Summer is here (well sort of in my part of the world!) and that is the theme of this week's challenge.   Get out those stamps that feature summertime themes.  

Inside

For my card today I decided to get out my ODBD Porch set because nothing says summer to me more than sitting on your porch with a nice glass of lemonade or iced tea enjoying the day.  When I look at the porch image from the set it makes me wish that my front porch looked like that... alas, it does not, sigh!  My color scheme comes from the mix of colors from the patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Fiddlesticks 6x6 pad.  The layout for the card is based on the current Mojo Monday sketch, with just a minor change.  I stamped the porch image using Wisteria Wonder a new ink from Stampin Up! and then trimmed it out.  The little award sticker is from the Fiddlesticks collection as is the little banner you can see peeking out on the side.  I didn't want to cover up the main image so I finished off the interior of the card with the verse from the set.  I just love that verse because going to the Lord and spending some time with Him just refreshes your soul like nothing else can.

As with all ODBD challenges we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!!

Inside of card

Hey there!!  If you got here from the blog of the sweet and uber talented Betty, then you are on the right track.  If not, you will want to head back to the ODBD blog and start the hop from the beginning.  My card for the hop uses the lovely ODBD set "As You Graduate".  When I first saw that set I knew I needed to own it.  I love the beautiful scene of the garden path leading off into the trees.  The scene is perfect for creating cards for either boys or girls.  For my card I used some recently acquired papers from the Pebbles Fresh Goods collection.  I really liked the bright colors in the pack and felt they were perfect for a gender neutral graduation card.  The layout for the card is based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I finished off the interior of the card with the verse from Psalm 20:4.   You next stop on the hop is the blog of the ever so sweet and talented Kathy.

Thanks for stopping by....

This year, the special sets include our favorite Scriptures, but also quotes and sentiments that we feel would be great on cards or projects. I think you will find some of the most encouraging and uplifting words available in stamps in these special anniversary sets!

• Return to the Our Daily Bread designs blog and leave a comment telling us that you completed the hop, making note if there were any you could not comment on.
• Along with your statement that you completed the hop, leave some Anniversary wishes for Kelley and the gang at ODBD!

My contribution to this year's anniversary collection is the often quoted last lines of Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken".  I have always loved that quote and when we were asked for our contributions to the anniversary sets I immediately picked that one.   As I was making my card this week for the challenge I was reflecting on those lines from the poem and realized just how much they symbolize the life of a Christian in today's world.  We have chosen to take the road less traveled (following Christ) and it has made all the difference!  For my card I went very simple as I really wanted to showcase the beautiful quote.  I used some papers from the My Mind's Eye Breeze collection.  When Kelley designed the stamp she incorporated those little trees (what a genius idea!).  So I decided to stamped them in dark green, trim them out and pop them up as you see over the main image.   Some dark green ribbon and a sweet little cross charm (a gift from my sweet fellow stick, Sabrina) finished the card.   The layout for the card is from this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge.  Thanks for stopping by...

Now I will send you to the next stop on the hop, the hugely talented DAWN!

ODBDSLC100...

Hey there!!  Happy Saturday!  Time for another ODBD Shining the Light challenge and since this is ODBD's birthday month we are continuing to celebrate.  This time the challenge team is asking you to use aqua or topaz and your favorite scripture or quote on your card.  

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Friday, March 16th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. 

While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on most of our challenges, this month it is an Our Daily Bread Designs only challenge month in honor of the ODBD 4th Anniversary.  Three or more of our participants will be chosen for the  Shining the Light Award .  In order to qualify for this award or join the challenge, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Friday,  March 16th at 8 a.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any otheronline gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC100. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

For my card I decided to use the color aqua and paired it with white.   The scripture that I used on my card is one of my favorites and comes from the Scripture Col. 7.   The tag was created using the Daffodil Tag set. The layout for the card is from this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge.   I used a new Sizzix/Stampin Up! die that I recently purchased.    I have to admit that when I first used the die things weren't working quite right with the die and I was ready to return it to my SU! demo.    Once I used the cutting platform that came with my Big Shot the die worked perfectly!
