Stamp Ink Paper Challenge 57 Black and White

Good Morning! Running a little behind this morning... I usually type up my post the night before however, my stomach wasn't on the same agenda I was... I can't believe the kids have their school registration next week! This summer seems to have just flew by!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we have a fabulous Black and White Challenge that our team member Carolyn Lindenmayer concocted! It really was a lot of fun!

This great card started with an A2 Base of Basic Black card stock! I used the NEW Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangles to cut my My Minds Eye Cut and Paste Papers and adhered them to the base cockeyed! On the Glasses paper you will notice that I used the Basic Black Thick Bakers twine with a cute little bow at the top! My fabulous glasses were cut out of Black Glitter Paper using dies from My Favorite Things! I adhere the glasses using the Foam Strips from Stampin Up and then adorned them with rhinestones! My sarcastic sentiment at the top is something I stumbled on in a Facebook selling group... It is from Unity Stamp Company and is from the "Consider Yourself Vintage" set! To give this card the final touch I added some black enamel dots and rhinestones!!

I can't wait to see all of your Black and White cards!!

Have a great day!

Stamp Ink Paper 43 Sketch Challenge

Hey there! Had really fab weekend with some great weather. We even got to grill on Saturday!

I am so excited for this weeks sketch that we have for you!! It is a pretty simple one although I am sure you all can sass it up if you need!

This card starts with a dramatic base of Basic Black card stock. The next layer is My Minds Eye On Trend 2 paper.  One of the sheets had these cute little panels! I simply adhered the panel that had the sentiment already on it to my base. I added the gold metallic glitter tape and gold sequins for my strips across the bottom....BOOM!!! Done!! No joke it took 5 minutes!!!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with on this sketch!!

CYCI 108 See Y'all Soon

Hey Y'all!! It will seem appropriate when you see my card!

Hope everything is well for all of you! The weekend is right around the corner and I am patiently waiting for a shipment from Michaels to finish, that is right I said FINISH my craft room!

I have been a busy bee in the craft room lately and have found a new addiction to shaker cards!

This morning the light bulb clicked on and I knew exactly what I was going to do for Can You Case It's sketch this week!!

So we all know that I am a little bit country right?! I mean we live in rural Colorado... I have more boots than tennis shoes... We have horses... I am sure you get it! This sketch SCREAMED country to me!

I started with a lovely base of Cherry Cobbler card stock from Stampin' Up!. The next lovely layer is from a My Minds Eye stack of just wood grains... My sentiment was stamped with Stampin' Up Early Espresso ink. This great sentiment is from the Unity Stamp Co and is called Cowgirl Up! I distressed the edges with Walnut Stain. My Shaker is made using Circle Framelits! I used a vintage Stampin' Up Star punch in the center to create my window! My shaker bits are made using gold seed beads,  Pretty Pink Posh Sparkly Clear, Espresso and Gold sequins in a variety of sizes! I couldn't just stop with the sequins!! I finished off this little hottie with a linen thread bow with tails that I curled using my finger nail!!

Hope y'all enjoy my creation today! See y'all soon!
