a couple simple cards...

Hey there!  Found some time to create a couple of simple cards for several challenges.   First up is a card for the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  For this card I used the dies from the Spellbinders September small dies kit as well as a die from the August small dies kit.   The papers I used are from an older My Mind's Eye paper pad called Happy Haunting.  I cut one of the papers to fit the front of my card.   The ornate label (from the August small dies kit) was die cut from coordinating paper as was the circle.   I trimmed a strip of paper so that the spider was on one end and then matted that piece with some black glitter cardstock from Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment (from the AJVD Witch & Famous stamp set) was stamped and then  I adhered the label to the main panel.   The strip was adhered along with the orange circle.  The cat and bats were die cut from the black glitter cardstock and adhered to the card as shown.  I'm not huge on Halloween, but I really like how this card turned out.


The next card is for this month's Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash challenge of Thanksgiving or Friendship.  I went with the friendship theme and used the older RC stamp set called Love Blooms.  I'm also adding this to Freshly Made Sketches and Color Throwdown as I used the layout and colors from those two challenges for the card.   The wreath (RC Wreath Confetti Cut) was die cut from dark brown cardstock three times.  When I made the last cut all the little interior pieces remained in the wreath and so I left it that way.  The two other wreaths were then adhered on top.  I stamped the outline of the flowers using orange, rust and yellow inks and then did second generation stamping for the solid stamping of the flowers.  The flowers were die cut and adhered to the wreath.  I arranged the wreath on my die cut kraft cardstock piece, placed the sentiment in the center of the wreath and then removed the wreath so I could do the stamping.  Adhered the wreath when that was done, adhered the panel to my card base and then added Stardust Stickles to the center of the flowers and along the wreath.





Hope you have a wonderful day!

National Coffee Day Blog Hop!


Hey everyone!!  As many of you know today is National Coffee Day and the gals over at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog are having another big blog hop to celebrate.  Precious Remembrance Shop is a super sponsor and so is A Jillian Vance design.  There are great prizes from both companies!   Please head over to the PRS blog and the AJVD blog for all the details on how to win each prize.  I made two cards to share.  First up is a PRS card I made using the super fun Coffee Love stamp set from Precious Remembrance Shop along with an image from another fabulous PRS set called New Day.  I stamped the coffee cup from Coffee Love on two coordinating papers from a My Mind's Eye paper pad.   The full cup was trimmed out from one and then pieces of the other were trimmed out and adhered to the cup as you see.  I then stamped the sentiment in the center of the cup.  I trimmed down another coordinating piece of paper and cut it on the diagonal.  The pieces were adhered to a light green cardstock base.  I stamped the image from the New Day that looks like a coffee stain in pink ink and then adhered the coffee cup.   Precious Remembrance Shop has a discount offer going on right now so I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to save on some fantastic PRS sets through October 8th.  Going to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.


As I indicated above A Jillian Vance Design is also a part of this hop.  I created a clean and simple design using thee AJVD sets Brew-tiful and But First Coffee.  I stamped the coffee cup ring image from But First Coffee in two different inks (kraft and taupe) on off white cardstock.  The coffee bean image was stamped in a really dark brown.  I stamped the sentiment (from Brew-tiful) using a light brown ink and then die cut the word coffee (from the Coffee, Tea & Me die set) from brown glitter cardstock and some scrap cardstock.  All the die cuts were adhered together and then adhered to the card to complete the sentiment.  I'm adding this to the CAS(E) this Sketch link up as I used their sketch for the layout.  Make sure that you head over to the AJVD blog to see my card along with projects from other AJVD design team members and to leave a comment for a chance to win a $100 prize pack!



Have a wonderful day and enjoy the hop!

two cards... two sketches...

Hey there!!  Stopping in with two cards for two sketch challenges.  Recently Julee started the Viva la Verve challenges back up and I could not be happier!!  I have missed playing along as often as I could using my yummy Verve stamps!!  My first card is for that challenge.   I'm still on a mission to use up my patterned paper and today I made a little dent in the collection... YAY!  I used lots of paper on this card and I love how it turned out!!  The stamp set I used is the Verve Kindness Matters set.  The matching dies were used to die cut the flowers after I had stamped them on the patterned paper using dark blue ink.  The same ink was used for the sentiment.   The background panel was created by layering all the paper together and then die cutting them.  Because the bottom portion was rather thick I did have to die cut that a second time.  I layered on the sentiment panel and then added the flower.  To give the flower a bit more dimension I cut into the petal of the top flower, shaped the a little and then adhered it with a foam dimensional.  After the flower was adhered I die cut the little sprigs and adhered them.  I added a large drop of Nuvo Glitter Drops to the center of the flower.  Everything was adhered to a teal cardstock base.   Since there is still lots of time to play along at Viva La Verve I think I'm going to be making another card!


The second card is for the current Reverse Confetti Sketch for You to Try.  This is the first time in a very long time that I have actually gotten my card for the challenge done this early... YAY!!  I may even find the time to make another card!  I used and oldie, but goodie Reverse Confetti set called Fresh 'n Fruity.  I kept this one simple and used just one piece of patterned paper from a pack of papers from Webster's Pages.  I stamped the oranges in two shades of orange ink using both orange stamps from the set.   Stamped the leaves and then die cut everything with the matching dies.  The sentiment was stamped on the banner that was cut using the banner die from the RC Tag Me die set.  After adhering the patterned paper I arranged how I wanted everything to be and then stamped the bottom sentiment.   Adhered everything, added the orange enamel dots and I was done.  Love the clean look of this one!   And since I got my card done so early in the month just like with Viva La Verve I may make another one!!

Have a wonderful day...

happy birthday wishes...

Hello!!  After being mojo-less for the last week or so I seem to have gotten a little bit of it back after I made the card I posted the other day (you can scroll down or click here to see it).  I had wanted to make a card for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of  "its hip to be square" and so I combined it with the current CAS on Sunday challenge of balloons to create my card.  I recently purchased a My Mind's Eye Hooray bundle from Peachy Cheap that included a package of fun die cuts including several balloons and so I used one for my card.  The scalloped and plain squares were die cut from some of the paper from the Hooray 6x6 pad using Spellbinders dies.  The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp set Celebrate.  I laid the striped square on my mini MISTI, placed the sentiments how I wanted then, close the lid to my MISTI and then inked up everything for perfect placement stamping!  Love that!!  Since this card uses die cutting and SSS products I also included it in the current SSS flickr challenge to "cut it out".  I love that this card took next to no time to make thanks to the die cuts!   Going to add this to the current City Crafter challenge of birthdays.


Hope you have a wonderful day...

what a day...

Hey friends!!  I have really had a crazy day.  Had to take my car to the dealership because the automatic lock on the driver's side door stopped locking... ugh!!  Find out that the dealership does not have the part so it can't be fixed until next week when the part gets here... double ugh!!  So... I have to manually lock my door until next Wednesday when it will be fixed.  Upside to all of this it falls under warranty so I don't have to pay for it.  But... I get to the dealership to pick up my car, get inside, turn the key and nothing.... absolutely nothing.... triple ugh!!!  The battery was dead and after they got it running, again, they did a diagnostic and I learned that I needed a new battery.  Unfortunately that wasn't under warranty and batteries for my car are not cheap... sigh...!!  But at least there is light at the end of the tunnel... I have a new battery and the lock will be fixed next week.  And I did get to make a couple of cards for several different challenges.  The first card is for the current ColourQ and uses Viva La Verve sketch #1 for June.  To make my card I searched through my enormous stash of patterned paper and found patterns from four different My Mind's Eye pad that fit all the colors in the ColourQ combo.   I used the Verve stamp set Better Together and some hearts from the Verve Hearts Quartet die.  Very simple and straightforward take on the sketch.  I think this would be a great card to give to a guy.   Since this is a bit more masculine I'm going to enter into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: father's day/card for a guy.
 
The second card is for this week's My Favorite Things sketch and the new My Favorite Things color combo.  I do not own any of the MFT colors (ink, cardstock or otherwise) so I had to hunt around for colors that I thought were pretty close to the MFT colors.   Just like with my last card I used the MFT Mini Modern Blooms set, as well as a sentiment set from Amazing.  Instead of using a square for the central piece I used one of the Inside Out Stitched Rectangle dies and cut that from some blush colored cardstock.  For the circular element I used some loops of silver thread.   I used a Stitched Fishtail Flag Stax die to create the center strip element and the rectangle was die cut using an AJVD Polka Dot Rectangle Backdrop die.  For the blue flower and the leaves I did some second generation stamping (inking up the stamp then stamping it off before stamping the flower on the die cut).  The details for the blue flower and the leaves were added with the ink color at full strength.  The coral flower was stamped using two different shades of coral and the small flower was stamped with coral and blue ink.  After layering everything up I stamped the sentiment on a strip of cardstock using my mini MISTI, cut it in two and adhered it as shown.   Adding this to the line up at Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge:  flower garden.

Thanks for stopping by today... tomorrow should be a better day, lol!

pretty fantastic...

Hey friends!!  Popping in with a simple card that I made using some shiny new Verve that came in the mail the other day.  The newest Verve release is gorgeous and I was finally able to get my hands on one of the new stamp sets and some of the new dies.   I used the stamp set (Simply Amazing) and one of the dies (fantastic from Amazing Adjectives) for this super simple design.  The colors are from the Verve March Diva Inspiration challenge and the layout is the current one from Freshly Made Sketches.  I think I will also add this to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.  I die cut the word from dark pink cardstock multiple times and then adhered them together.   The patterned papers used are from two different My Mind's Eye pads.   All the panels were die cut using my A Jillian Vance Design Polka Dot Rectangle and Rectangle backdrop dies. After I stamped the sentiment and got ready to adhered the word to the card front I discovered that the little dot for the "I" had disappeared!  I tried to find an enamel dot that would fit, but all of them were too large so I opted for a clear rhinestone.   The card is rather plain, but sometimes plain and simple is best.   You know... less is more!!   I'm also going to add this to the current Time Out challenge of inspired by words. This is the quote they used:   'A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water' by Eleanor Roosevelt

how sweet of you...

Hello friends!!  Popping in with a card I made for the current Viva La Verve sketch challenge.  I used up the rest of my My Mind's Eye On Trend 6x6 pad making this card.  On Trend is probably one of my most favorite My Mind's Eye lines so its a good thing I was able to pick up a second pad (on sale, too!!) at Hobby Lobby a month or so ago... YAY!   So... not much to explain about this card.  Followed the sketch very faithfully.  I used the Verve set Small Packages and the Verve Tagged Rectangle die.  The circle was die cut using the A Jillian Vance Design Polka Dot Circle Backdrop dies.   The little button was made using a PTI button die.  I die cut the button four times and then adhered all four together to give the button a little more substance.  A bit of off white hemp twine was added to finish off the button.    I layered up everything and I was done.

viva la verve...

Hello friends!!  Wow... we are having some amazingly beautiful weather this weekend!!   Absolutely love it!!  Have a couple of cards to share that I made for the Viva La Verve challenge (week #2 and week #3).   I actually used two different paper pads for the cards, but the colors used are so similar that you wouldn't know it! 


The first card uses the Viva La Verve week #2 sketch.  For that card I used papers from the Teresa Collins Nine & Co pad and the following Verve stamps sets Great Friends and Take Note and the Verve Flag It dies.  I stamped and cut two different sizes of flowers and before adhering them together I added some silver metallic thread behind the smaller flower.  I used the large leafy image and stamped it using Stampin Up! Pool Party ink.  The sentiment is from Take Note and was stamped on the banner using VersaFine Onyx Black ink.


On Thursday I was able to make a quick trip up to Impress Rubber Stamps and got a few things.  Everything was on sale (YAY!) so that made the trip even sweeter.  One of the things I got was a gorgeous pad of My Mind's Eye papers from the On Trend line.  For the Viva La Verve week #3 card I used the Verve set Surely Goodness as well as the matching dies and the Verve Pennant Trim die.   The pennant was die cut twice.  Once from white cardstock and then once from patterned paper and then adhered together with the white pennant peeking out from behind the patterned paper one.  Love the touches of gold foiling that can be found in the On Trend paper line... it is gorgeous!!

 
Thanks so much for stopping by...

the magic of Christmas...

Hello friends!!  Back with another Christmas card for my stash.  I have been having a most excellent day and thought I would make a card! (So very happy to be having a most excellent day... over the last two months they have been few and far between!) Will be posting this one to Viva La Verve (week #3) and Time Out (embossing with a twist of sparkle).


Yesterday I made a trip to Joann's to buy a new wreath for my front door (got it for less than 1/2 prices... score!!) and while I was there I picked up this pad of glitter paper from Die Cuts with a View.  Boy is that some sparkly paper!  I die cut the MFT snowflake doily using a piece of champagne colored glitter paper.  Then to tone down all that sparkle I used a more muted color palette for the rest of the card.  The sentiment is from the Verve set Peace on Earth and the little star (or flower) is from the Verve set Holiday Treats.  For the embossing component of the card I ran one of the die cut circles through my Big Shot in my swiss dot embossing folder.  Patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye.

jingle all the way...

Hello!!  Getting back in the swing of things and got another Christmas card made.  This one I will be posting to Freshly Made Sketches and Merry Monday - Christmas Bells.


Yesterday I got my most recent order from Ellen Hutson and one of the things I received was this cute little Memory Box bells border die... perfect for the Merry Monday challenge!  When I ordered the die I was a bit worried that it might be a little too small so I was glad to see that it was actually pretty substantial.   I hunted around through all my stamps to see if I had a sentiment that had something bell related in it and found this little sentiment from the Reverse Confetti set Tinsel 'n Trim.  The dec. 25th sentiment is from the same set.  The papers are from the My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad Winter Wonderland.  The large tag was die cut using the RC Tag Me Confetti Cut and the banner die is from Verve.

Merry Christmas...

So... yesterday I had a little crafty session yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) and made several cards.  The first two cards turned out rather nice and they are posted in my Splitcoaststampers gallery (they were made for two SCS challenge... you can see them here and here).  But the third card was, well... I'm going to be nice and say it was "awkward looking".   I'm not sure why, but I kept forging ahead with the card this morning.  I guess I thought I could somehow make it look better, but that idea was killed when I stamped the sentiment crooked!   Ever done that?  Keep trying with something even though you know it is a lost cause?  Anyway... thankfully I came up with this card instead.  It is for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge and the AAA Cards "MacGyver" challenge.   ETA:  I just noticed that this card also works perfectly for the current Merry Monday challenge: polka dots and/or stripes!


The MacGyver challenge involves using kraft, vellum, glitter and a stamp on your holiday (pick any holiday... I went with Christmas) card/project.  I think it was the vellum that tripped me up on the "awkward" card.   But thankfully the new Freshly Made Sketches layout was posted and I found the perfect way to use vellum!  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye (All is Bright 6x6 pad) and I cut it so the word "merry" just peeks out from underneath the vellum and the glitter snowflake.  My stamping is the word "Christmas".   I made the glittery snowflake by die cutting the snowflakes using Penny Black dies, covering them with glue and then pouring on the glitter. The top portion of the kraft cardstock piece was partially embossed for a subtle "falling snow" sort of effect.  Layered everything up and added a wee bit of Christmas washi tape to finish things off.   Oh... I just remembered the current Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge is "finishing touch".  Hmmm... think I will post this to that challenge, as well.

much happiness...

Hello!!  Hope your week is going well!  Have a little card that I made that works for several different Verve challenges:  Viva La Verve (week one sketch), Diva Dare (Celebrate Good Times) and Verve Inspiration Challenge (Sequin Stunner).  Also popping this into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge:  summer... summer is full of flowers!


A week ago I purchased the My Mind's Eye Market Street Ashbury Heights 6x6 pad and had been wanting to use it.  Finally got a chance today.  I used two different Verve sets for my card:  Surely Goodness and Brighter Days.  Lots of die cutting on this one, too.  I love working with patterned papers, but sometimes it can be a problem when you don't have an ink that is a fairly good match for at least one of the colors in the papers used.   After trying a shade of red ink I thought would work and discovering it clashed a bit too much I was able to find a shade of teal ink that worked much better.   After layering everything up on my card base I finished things off with a sequined center to my flower and a scattering of  clear sequins around my card.

hope your day is...

Hello friends!! Popping in with a little card I made for the brand new Poppy Sketches challenge!  
Check it out here.
I recently purchased this pack of Studio Calico wood veneers that have the cute little feathers so I pulled out two and died them using Stampin Up!'s Primrose Petals and Pretty in Pink Inks.  In keeping with the color combo I used some My Mind's Eye Tangerine patterened paper.  The sentimetn is from the PTI mini set Flower Fusion #8.  Added a bit of tangerine colored baker's twine to the top of the feathers.  The punch is from EK Success.  A few clear sequins (love them!!) from Pretty Pink Posh finished things off.

viva la verve... hello

Hello friends!!  Well our crazy weather has settled down a bit, but not before taking out four sections of our fence.   Hubby already has the sections moved and has a game plan for replacing them as quickly as possible.  As the title implies I have a card for this month's Viva La Verve sketch challenge.  My card uses the sketch for week 2 brought to us by the very talented Teresa Kline. 


 
 
I used some papers from the My Mind's Eye cut & paste "Adorbs" 6x6 pad and two different Verve sets:  Birthday Poppies and Take Note.  Lots of cutting, distressing and layering going on.  I thought it would be fun to brighten things up a bit by adding the bright yellow sequins to the centers of the flowers.  The dies are Spellbinders plain ovals and a tab die from the Verve die set Tag It.

trick or treat...

Hello friends!!  Hope have had a wonderful week so far.  Have a little card that I put together for a couple of challenges:  ColourQ and Retro Sketches.


I think I may have said this before, but I'm not really big on Halloween and as a result generally don't buy many Halloween stamp sets, but when I saw the recently released Halloween sets from Reverse Confetti I knew I had to get them.  The images are just so darn cute!!  So I paired these fun images up with the layout from Retro Sketches and the ColourQ combo to create my little card.  The notebook page was die cut, stamped with the spider web image using Versamark and then the orange bakers twine was added.  Over that I layered the panel that I stamped with the witch's shoes (don't you just love those shoes???) in SU!'s Wisteria Wonder and the sentiment in black.   A piece of patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting 6x6 pad was cut, embossed, adhered to the card base and the notebook page & panel adhered.  Popping this into the last 'Fetti Find linky list, as well.
