It's been a little while since I've been able to play along with the Make It Monday Challenge, but I had some time this morning to play along with the Glitter Button Challenge. I decided to use an old favorite set of mine, Little Lady. I used a few True Black Vintage Buttons, glittered them up with some Prisma Glitter and added them as some of the ladybug's spots.

The ladybug was stamped in Pure Poppy Ink. The "sky" is Hawaiian Shores cardstock and I created the "grass" by using Simply Chartreuse and Spring Moss cardstock along with the Banner Borders Die. As a finishing touch, I scored three lines along the bottom edge of the card using my ScorPal. You can see more entries for this challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Mojo Mommy

2012-02-20T08:00:00.000-05:00

Today I'm part of a very special Blog Hop. Hopefully you came here from sweet Debbie Carriere. If not, you can find the whole Blog Hop List on Teresa's Blog.

Not only is it Mojo Monday, but we're surprising Julee to help welcome her twin boys!! Julee is such a special person. A true sweetheart. I have LOVED working with her for the past 5 years and when she broke the news that she was expecting, I squealed! I cannot be happier for her. I am so very excited for her to become a mommy!!

We all used this week's Mojo Sketch to create a card for Julee and to offer her a few words of advice on being a new mom. My advice would be to enjoy all those little moments. Babies grow SO fast. Snuggle with them whenever you can. Smell them, squeeze their little fingers and toes. Those first months are not always easy, and I can't imagine what it's like with two at the same time, but know that those times won't last forever. Eventually you WILL get to sleep through the night. :) Nap when they nap. I'm so excited for you to meet your two little sweeties, Julee! Sending you BIG hugs and much love!

I used the To the Moon set for my card. I stamped two giraffes for the twins and colored them with Copic markers. The papers are from the Stomp and Round & Round Collections from My Mind's Eye. I had to ink up portions of the sentiment separately to make it fit the sentiment panel. As finishing touches, I added ribbon, stitching around the card and buttons.

Please stop by to send Julee some love! The next person on the hop is the fabulous Sankari!

Sparkles and Shines

2012-02-18T17:10:00.004-05:00

These past few days have been birthday party central here with both of my daughters being invited to several birthday parties of their classmates. When I asked one mother for gift ideas, she said her daughter loved anything Barbie, horses or unicorns. I didn't find anything "unicorn" for her gift, but we accompanied her Barbie with this unicorn card. I hope she liked it! :)

This uses the Simply Magical set from Taylored Expressions. I thought the sentiment was especially perfect for a birthday. I colored the image using Copic markers. The papers are from the Colorwheel Collection from Doodlebug. I die cut some clouds to go with the cloud in the image using the Cloud Duo Die, the coordinating die from Sky's the Limit, and the Cloud Border Die. I added Stardust Stickles to the image.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you're having a great weekend!

VLV Rule the World

2012-02-17T11:51:00.001-05:00

Today is Friday and that means a new Viva la Verve Sketch! This week's sketch comes to us from Laurie. I used the Better With You set from Verve along with some patterned papers from the Restoration Collection from Crate Paper.

I stamped the "coffee rings" in Canyon Clay ink onto Really Rust cardstock. When I was looking at how to use the ribbon that's represented in the sketch, I had some ric rac and thought it might look like the "steam" from the coffee. I hope it gives that impression! :)

Come play along with the Viva la Verve Sketch! It's a lot of fun. Also, there's been a NEW Plain Jane released today! Go check it out! Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful weekend!

Mojo Valentine

2012-02-14T08:46:00.001-05:00

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm excited today because I get to help at both of my daughters' Valentine parties in school. They love it when I get to come into school, and I love how excited they get! :)

I had some time this morning to create a card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. I used the Text Objects set for my card. The paper is from the Cupcake Love Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle. I started by diecutting a piece of the patterned paper with the Labels One Nestabilities. The largest heart was die cut using the Jotted Heart Die and the smallest heart was die cut using the From the Heart Die Set. The middle heart was simply stamped and then hand cut. As a finishing touch, I added a scored border around the card using my Scor-Pal.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

TE February Key Ingredients

2012-02-11T11:00:00.000-05:00

Today I have another post for you using the February Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions. I created a photo tutorial to go along with my project as well, so it's a bit of a long post with LOTS of pictures! :) I created this long heart box and card ensemble.

1. I started by die cutting 3 heart favor boxes using the Heart Favor Box Die. I cut two in the Arizona colored cardstock and one in the Beeswax.

2. Then I cut most of the top and bottom off of the middle box (the Beeswax color) and either the top or bottom of the remaining two boxes. In the photo, the furthest left box will end up being the top of the long box, so I left the whole top and trimmed the bottom. The furthest right box is going to be the bottom of the long box, so I trimmed the top of the box but left the bottom intact.

3. Next I cut angles on the trimmed tabs so that they would more easily fit inside each other. The next three photos show the three assembled pieces of the boxes from the front, the top and the bottom.

4. This step can be done before assembling the separate pieces, but I stamped mine after since I had to make sure the pieces would fit together. I flattened the pieces and stamped them using the Vintage Dreamer set and added Sticky Tape to the tabs.

5. Attach the three boxes to form one long box.

6. Here is an inside view of how they are attached.

7. Since the back of the assembled boxes had some spaces, I cut a piece to fit the long box, stamped it and attached it to the back of the box for a finished look.

8. The last thing I did was adhere a piece of transparency behind the heart windows.

I filled the box with some Cadbury Mini Eggs, but since it's a long box, you can add longer items. The only thing I had on hand were Fruit Roll Ups. They didn't make for a nice picture with such an elegant looking box, so I didn't use them for the final project. I did take a picture so that you could get an idea of the types of "long" treats that would fit in the box.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project and tutorial! You can see more creations today using the February Key Ingredients from Jessie and Jodi!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

MIM Sending You Sunshine

2012-02-07T14:38:00.002-05:00

It has been a long while since I've been able to participate in the Make It Monday Challenge, so it was nice to be able to play today. This week's challenge was Double Sided Stamped Die Cuts. I used the Simple Sunflower set and coordinating dies for my card.

I stamped the sunflowers using Summer Sunrise and Canyon Clay ink. The leaves were stamped with Ripe Avocado. I die cut the tag with the Tag Sale #5 die and stamped the sentiment in Fresh Snow ink. I created the "grassy hills" with the In the Meadow Die Collection. The background of the card was layered with white cardstock die cut with the Cover Plate: Quatrefoil. There are pieces of the sunflowers and the leaves that are curled forward to reveal the "double sided stamping". You can see more creations for this challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Simple Sunflower (Papertrey Ink); Ink- Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate, Fresh Snow (Papertrey Ink); Paper- Ripe Avocado, Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate (Papertrey Ink); Accessories- Tag Sale #5 Die, In the Meadow Die Collection, Cover Plate: Quatrefoil, Simple Sunflower Die Colleciton, Summer Sunrise Swiss Dots ribbon (Papertrey Ink); Finished card measures 5.5"x4.25"

Thanks a Bunch

2012-02-04T12:12:00.004-05:00

I have a card using this week's Viva la Verve Sketch! This week's sketch is from Amber and it's awesome! It's been a while since I've created a long card, so this was a nice excuse. :) I used the Bloom & Grow set from Verve along with the Vintage Oval Frame stamp. I used the coordinating dies as well. . .Floral Circles Die Set, Elegant Leaves Die, and the Vintage Oval Die.

The papers are from the Victoria Gardens Collection by Echo Park. I stamped the flowers using Autumn Rose, Scarlet Jewel, Ripe Avocado, Hawaiian Shores and Ocean Tides ink. I added "pearls" to the centers of the flowers with a Cream Pearl Pen and some Stardust Stickles to the petals. After stitching around the panels of the card, I added a scalloped border to the left side of the card using a Martha Stewart border punch.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

Thinking of You

2012-02-02T10:00:00.000-05:00

As a result of the beautiful weather we've been having for "winter", I decided to go with some happy and bright papers that remind me of Spring. I used the Colorwheel Collection from Doodlebug. The stamp set is Birds of a Feather from Taylored Expressions along with the coordinating Birds and Branch Dies. I also used the Grass Border Die along the bottom of the focal panel.

I'm not a big fan of my doodling. I LOVE when other people do it and I think it looks so cool, but mine never turns out how I see others. Even still, this card makes me smile with all of the happy colors. I hope it makes you smile too! Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

My Heart Is Yours

2012-02-01T11:08:00.000-05:00

This week's Mojo Monday Sketch is either round or square! I chose the square sketch. I started with the Swirling Hearts set from Verve for the focal piece of the card. I die cut the patterned paper using the Vintage Oval Frame Die and then stamped the frame and sentiment. I die cut another piece of patterned paper from the Paper Heart Collection by Crate Paper with the Jotted Heart Die and tucked that behind the focal piece.

I added a little miniature rose, some ribbon, pearls and a little Stardust Stickles. I felt like it was still missing something, so I die cut the leaves with the Elegant Leaves Die and then stamped the leaves from the Bloom & Grow set. To finish the card off, I stitched around the border.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you're having a wonderful day! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Swirling Hearts, Bloom & Grow (Verve Stamps); Ink- Onyx Black (Versafine), Pure Poppy (PTI); Paper- Paper Heart Collection (Crate Paper), Bazzill; Accessories- Vintage Oval Frame Die, Jotted Heart Die, Elegant Leaves Die (Verve Stamps), Stardust Stickles, rose (Prima), pearls (Want2Scrap); Finished card measures 4.25" square

Hello

2012-01-31T06:54:00.001-05:00

Have you seen that the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge is back? I have definitely missed it! Sketches are my favorite kind of challenge. For the current sketch, I used the Bugabee set along with the Bugabee Bugs Die Set. The papers are from the Finally Fall Collection from Bella Blvd.

I die cut the wings twice and layered them with the top set folded back a bit. I used the Grass Border Die along with the Plain and Scallop Circle Nestabilities to create the focal panel. I embellished with Kaisercraft Pearls and some Red Glimmer Ribbon. The sentiment is stamped in Jet Black StazOn onto a transparency.

Come play along with the sketch! You know you want to! :)

It's no secret that I LOVE clean and simple cards. They are, by far, my favorite type of card, so when I see an embossing folder/background stamp coordinating duo like this, I just HAVE to have it! :) This is the Stripes and Frame Stamp & Emboss set from Sizzix for Hero Arts. How simple is this card? All I did was stamp the background (stripes) and line it up in the coordinating embossing folder and it gives it all this wonderful texture! It even makes it look like the sentiment is a layered panel! The sentiment is from the Spiral Bouquet set from Papertrey Ink. This card took all of 10 minutes to make. . .and that's only because I couldn't decide on a ribbon treatment. Now that the card design is decided, I could mass produce this card in no time!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend!

Frosty Fun

2012-01-26T06:43:00.003-05:00

We've been having some wonderful weather here in Pittsburgh. It's been cold and we've had the random snow/ice storm, but the snow and ice quickly melted away with the change in temperature. Don't get me wrong. . .it's still cold, but it's more bearable than what Pittsburgh winter weather is usually like. . .at least for me! :)

Today I have a card that uses the Moka Kristie from Taylored Expressions. I used papers from the Snow Day Collection from Crate Paper. I colored Kristie with Copic markers and then added some Stardust Stickles over top to give her a nice sparkle. I diecut the image using the Take Note Die 3 and then matted that on a piece that was die cut using the Frame It Up 1 die. I used the Lots of Dots Impression Plate on the background and the Winter Wonderland Snowflakes Die Set for the snowflakes on the card.

There's a SALE going on at Taylored Expressions right now!!

Mojo Monday In Your Midst

2012-01-24T10:24:00.003-05:00

This week's Mojo Monday Sketch is a bit different for me. I had to really think about the blocked panels. I decided a mix of patterned papers and some 3 dimensional butterflies would work. I started with the Zephaniah 3:17 Plain Jane for the sentiment. I stamped it in Scarlet Jewel on some patterned paper from the Paper Heart Collection from Crate Paper. The blocks of patterned paper are from the same collection.

I used the All Aflutter Plain Jane for the large butterfly and the Twitterpated set for the small butterfly. Both were die cut with the All Aflutter Die Set. Both butterflies were stamped in Frost White craft ink and embossed in white. I added some stitching to the card as well as some heart buttons with twine and some ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you're having a great day!

VLV I Dig You

2012-01-20T13:41:00.004-05:00

It's Friday, and that means a new Viva la Verve Sketch! This week's sketch is brought to us by the fabulous Teresa. I used the Twitterpated set from Verve for my card. The papers are from the Love Struck Collection by We R Memory Keepers. I die cut the heart using the Jotted Heart Die and then embossed it using the Candy Cane Stripe Cuttlebug folder.

The image was stamped in Tuxedo Black and then colored with Copic markers. I added a few pearls to the image with some adhesive pearls from Want2Scrap as well as some pearls made with the Viva Magenta Pearl Pen.

As a finishing touch, I stitched all around the card. Come play along with the Viva la Verve Challenge! There's always a prize involved!! Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great weekend and stay warm!

Love Lives Here

2012-01-19T09:50:00.005-05:00

Today I have a card that focuses more on embossing than on stamping. I used the Jumbo Heart Border Die from Taylored Expressions and embossed it across the kraft panel. I then took some patterned paper from the Valentine Project Pantry Kit and die cut the top of it with the same die so that the paper would nest perfectly along the embossed border. I also used one of the dies in the Hearts a Plenty Die set and embossed it on the upper part of the card. I then die cut that same die using patterned paper and cardstock from the Valentine Project Pantry and "paper pieced" it on the embossed image. Because it was already embossed into the cardstock, the die cut piece nestle down in so it looks like it's pressed into the cardstock rather than sitting on top. It looks pretty neat in person. :)

As finishing touches I added some ribbon and used a white gel pen for some faux stitching and to fill in the dots in the border. The sentiment is from the Love Shack set.

There's a new Calendar Challenge going on at Taylored Expressions! It's a great way to create a calendar for yourself or someone else AND have a chance to win a prize package! Click on the link for all of the details! Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

Sending Warm Fuzzies

2012-01-17T13:40:00.002-05:00

I am currently taking the Clean & Simple Card Making Class and am REALLY enjoying learning how to make the most of clean and simple cards. My favorite kind of cards to make are clean and simple cards, but sometimes I feel like they look too simple or "boring". . .especially when I see so many gorgeous cards that have lots of layers and lots of embellishments. I love those cards, but my brain works better with the clean and simple! LOL

For this card, I punched the tree using an EK Success punch and mounted some patterned paper on the inside of the card with foam adhesive. I white embossed the Hero Arts sentiment onto dark brown cardstock and adhered it across the bottom of the card. The finishing touches were score lines on the left side and top of the card, and some irridescent bling scattered around the tree.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you're having a great day! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Everyday Sayings (Hero Arts); Ink- Frost White (Colorbox); Paper- Choice Snow White (Taylored Expressions), Holly Jolly Christmas Collection (Echo Park), Dark Chocolate (PTI); Accessories- bling (Hero Arts), white embossing poweder, tree punch (EK Success); Finished card measures 5.5"x 4.25"

Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge - January

2012-01-12T11:00:00.000-05:00

It's a new year, so we're starting off with a NEW challenge at Taylored Expressions! Please play along in the Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge! What better way to create a calendar for the year. . .or even one to use as a gift for the next year! TE Calendar products are required to play, but TE stamps are NOT required. You can read all of the details on Taylor's blog. What's exciting is everyone who plays in 10 or more of these monthly calendar challenges in 2012, will be entered in a random draw for a TE prize pack valued at over $150!!! The KEYWORD for posting to SCS or other online galleries is TECALCHAL.

For this month, I used the New Beginnings set to create my January calendar page. The calendar products I used are the Desktop Acrylic Base and the Mini Tear-Off Calendar. I stamped the roses from the set in white craft ink and embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I used Fired Brick and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks and rubbed it all over the roses. I cut the roses out and then sprayed them with a Maya mist and mounted them on the page with foam adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped in white craft ink and embossed in white on black cardstock. I die cut that piece using the Take Note Die 2. I used the Heart Border Die as well as the Rosy Posey Dies to embellish the page.

See what the rest of the Baker's Dozen has created for today's challenge! I hope you'll play along!

Welcome back for Day 2 of Verve's New Release Spotlights! Today we are spotlighting 1 new set and coordinating die and a Plain Jane! My project today features the Wings of Love set along with the Wavy Hearts Die Set.

I just LOVE the heart with wings image. I also love this particular sentiment paired with it. :) I used papers from the Paper Heart Collection from Crate Paper. I die cut and then stamped the heart and mounted it with foam adhesive over a stamped heart with wings. The wings are covered in Stardust Stickles so they're nice and sparkly.
