Stamp Ink Paper 98 Kids Birthday

Happy Tuesday... So glad that summer is right around the corner. You can tell that the kids are ready too! Do any of your kids have a summer birthday? Wesley, my oldest is my June baby and will be turning 11 this year. It is a tough lump to swallow thinking about him being in 6th grade next year!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we are creating Kid's Birthday cards! I couldn't wait to use the Lemon Lime twist with Basic Black! What kid doesn't like a little slime?! Let me show you my card...

This card was so fun to make with the new In Color Lemon Lime Twist! I knew exactly how it was going to all play out! The Happy Celebrations set  is so much fun and has my "slime" puddle stamp. It was perfect in the Lemon Lime Twist ink with the Basic Black Archival "Happy" stamped over the top. The "Birthday to You" was heat embossed using White Stampin' Emboss powder on Basic Black Card Stock and trimmed to fit just below the "Happy". A couple Washi Tape accents at the top left with the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon and a few Glitter Enamel dots were just the right touch to finish this Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Black and Whisper White card!

Thank You so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you make up for your kiddo!

Stamp Ink Paper 75 Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday! I am so excited for Thursday, aren't you? I mean, Thanksgiving is my favorite meal to cook!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we have a color challenge that can be used in so many ways! I must be honest, I was bit rebellious and used Sweet Sugarplum as well! I hope you love my fun take on our challenge for this week!

So my fun card started with the Touches of Texture set! I stamped the spattered background in Pool Party ink and the vintage lace like border was heat embossed in copper! My Sweet Sugar Plum tree from the Peaceful Pines Bundle is adorned with heat embossed copper dots! I did some quick Metallic Copper Thread loops behind the tree and attached it with Stampin' Dimensionals! My lovely sentiment is from Reason for the Season, it too is heat embossed in copper. A Pool Party matte on a Copper Foil card base was just the right touch with my Fancy Frost Sequins!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! You can find a full list of the items used below!
Have a great day!

Stamp Ink Paper 62 Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday to you all!! My countdown until school starts has dwindled down to 2 days and my best friend Amy leaves today... Bittersweet to think about, I know I will shed some tears! The oldest Tucker child has back to school night tonight so I am sure I will just be distracted by the daily grind!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we have a fabulous sketch and when you see my card you will know it probably came together really fast!

I knew when I saw this sketch and received my pre-order that I was going to try to interpret it pretty literally. I just love the new Fancy Frost sequin mix in the holiday catalog! That's right I said Stampin' Up! has a great sequin mix! I hope to see this trend continue... We all know I love my sequins! So when choosing my colors I focused around the color of the sequins, Soft Sky and Sweet Sugar Plum! I wasn't sure that the Sweet Sugar Plum was going to be a color I was interested in even though I had bought the In Colors when they debuted, but my mind has changed! The base of the card is Sweet Sugar Plum with a matte of Soft Sky. The Whisper White layer is stamped using the stars from Be Jolly, By Golly with Soft Sky Ink! I stamped the Be Joyful sentiment from the Merriest Wishes bundle seemed to be just the fit! This bundle is amazing with 7 fabulous dies to make some really cute tags like the one at the bottom! I simply used the Fancy Frost sequin mix with Sweet Sugar Plum envelope paper as my backing! The Silver Metallic Thread seemed to fit the whole mojo of the card!

Thanks for taking a peek at my Stamp Ink Paper this week! I can't wait to see how you interpret this sketch!

Stamp Ink Paper 61 Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Good Morning! Rise and Shine it is Tuesday! 9 Days til school starts and we all survived Monday! We here at the Tucker house had fun filled weekend in Denver courtesy of Troy's place of employment! We went to Elitch Gardens and ran the kids ragged on rides... But I think we ran ourselves ragged in the process as well!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper we have a really fun Tic Tac Toe Challenge and I can't wait to show you what I made but going across the top Green, Sequins and Flowers!

I must say that I really could have done a lot of with the above Tic Tac Toe but I am really trying to go outside of my comfort zone lately and it was time for a NON shaker card! The Swirly Bird Bundle seems to be one of the more popular sets out of the annual catalog! I know that i had used the dies before but the stamp set had yet to be inked up! My inspiration for color is the Perfectly Wrapped packaging kit! I just love the colors in that set so I ran with it! Now I know you are saying "Where are the flowers". To me, the swirls are abstract flowers... I suppose I could have added leaves but I liked things the way they were! I started with Peakaboo Peach flowers, then used the Emerald Envy. The Basic Black seems the most abstract to me and I finished it with some Gold Foil die cuts using the Scribble Dies that are in this bundle. My "Happy Day" sentiment is from the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set. It is stamped over the Peakaboo Peach "splatters" from the Swirly Bird set! To finish this card off I stapled the Gold Sequins with the Emerald Envy ribbon!!
Thank you so much for stopping in!
Can't wait to see how you make your 3 in a row!

Stamp Ink Paper 58 Lisa's Sketch

Hey there and Happy Tuesday! I am off to help at school registration this morning! Usually this takes me out of summer mode! Still have a few adventures that we would like to have before that first school bell rings!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper team member Lisa Altman has designed a fun little sketch for us to play with!





My card started with a base of Mint Macaron with a lovely matte of Crumb Cake! I used coordinating DSP from  Affectionately Yours and tied a quick strand of Mint Macaron Striped Ribbon across. I used the Tags & Labels Framelits to create my "tag" with the sentiment from Suite Sayings! The Bow Tie Paper clip seemed to be the right touch. I had some left over wood hearts from the Spring Occasions! I think I put them to a really cute use!

Fun and Simple! Not always something you see from me! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

SIP Challenge #45 - Welcome Baby

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! Had a wonderful Monday spent with the kids... We farted around the house and ended the day with some time on the horses!

This with Stamp Ink Paper we have a wonderful baby themed challenge!

I can't to show you what I made...

I knew right away that my card needed to be different than baby cards past. That is why with this card I chose to use "Primary" type colors. The card started with a brilliant blue base of Pacific Point card stock. The super cute polka dot DSP is from the soon retiring School House DSP! I punched the balloons with our fabulous punch in Real Red, Pacific Point and piece of Crushed Curry DSP that I had in my scrap bin then tied them in a lovely group using Whisper White Bakers Twine! I heat embossed the stars on the blue and red balloons. I adhered these to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals! My sentiment is from Big News! I had a little fun fussy cutting the little to add some more dimension to the card! I created the stitched rectangle using Gina Marie Designs stitched rectangle dies.... 

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Have a fabulous day!

Stamp Ink Paper 39 Gingers Sketch

Hey there! It is beautiful week on the plains! This momma has recess duty all week! The things I do to be involved in my children's education! 

Team member Ginger Pelfrey has designed our sketch this week. I must say that my plan came together super fast!

click here for challenge details

I could totally lie to you and tell you this card took HOURS! It didn't though... The concept really came about pretty easy once I looked at the sketch (for three days). Really trying to use colors that are not my usual aesthetic and decided to use the Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla! The offset rectangles I initially did like your layers when Triple Time Stamping. I then matted them with Elegant Eggplant and popped the top layer up with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the banner in the sketch I tied a cute little knot of linen thread. My lovely sentiment is from the Greetings Thinlits set. I cut this twice so that it popped up more. I then inked the die cut with Versamark so that I could sprinkle the Gold Stampin' Emboss powder on and heat emboss it! I adhered this to the card using our two way glue pen! Justin has truly rubbed off on me... I added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins to finish this card up!

Stamp Ink Paper 34 It's a Love Theme

Good Tuesday to all of you! Are we all happy with the Super Bowl outcome? I know I am!

It was a great ending to a really rough week. I lost my uncle Saturday morning after complications from a surgery to remove a cancer in the sheath of his nerves around his chin... Needless to say, it took me a bit to get into my groove to make this Monday morning!

Enough of the sad stuff!!! We have a really easy Love themed challenge for you! I am sure that all of you can come up with something with Valentines right around the corner...

Click Here for Challenge Details

This Lovely card started with a soft base of Crumb Cake card stock. I did a quick matte of Blushing Bride! I really love that Stampin' Up! is catering to my addiction to this color! The DSP is from the 6 x 6 stack Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack. I then used the Sahara Sand Lace Trim with a piece of the vintage Blushing Bride trim I had in my stash or should I say hoard? I then used my Big Shot with the Sizzix Precision Plate to cut out the Bloomin' Heart thinlit in Blushing Bride card stock. The sentiment is stamped in Rose Red ink on Whisper White card stock. I used my circle framelits in my Big Shot to cut this as well.  My Gold Metallic thread loops and sparkly enamel dots seemed to be just the right touch of pizzazz that this card needed.

Thank You so much for stopping by! Feel free to ask me any questions... I may have left something out!

Stamp Ink Paper 33 Red Black and Gold

Hey there!! It has been a blustery beginning to my week! Snow sideways most of my Monday!

With it being Tuesday we all know what that means.... Stamp Ink Paper! 

I am sure that we are all in full blown Valentine making mode! Me?! I honestly am trying to put my best foot forward! Hearts are probably my least favorite shape LOL! Not something I own a lot of... Thankfully we have a beautiful color challenge for you! I can't wait to show you what I have made!

Click Here for Challenge Details

Wow!!! At least that is what I think when I made this card. It is VERY dramatic for me! The colors lend themselves to a dramatic card.
The card base is Very Vanilla Card Stock with a simple matte of the stripe from the Timeless Elegance DSP. You will notice a nice gold foil banner off to the left there. I will be honest last spring I was in love with the Artisan Embellishment kits laser cut rose panel. I stumbled on a die that cut the same pattern! So I simply cut this out of Real Red card stock heat embossed it with clear Stampin' Emboss powder. I adhered this with the two way glue pen onto a Basic Black background and then glued this over the gold foil banner.... Now I will be honest, this is where things got a little tricky! I wanted to use my "Love" from my retired Expressions Thinlits. Apparently it is MIA in my craft room... I used the lovely Die and Banner Stamp from the Number of Years Bundle. I stamped the banner with the Basic Black Archival Ink and then use Gold Stampin' Emboss powder for the Heat Embossed "Love You" from the Bloomin' Love set. The Champagne Rose from the Rose Garden dies and Hello December Sequins gave this card just the right amount of class it needed!

Thank you so much for stopping in!
Have a great day!

Stamp Ink Paper 32 Valentine Tic Tac Toe

Hey there! It is Tuesday and we know what that means!!! Stamp, Ink, Paper DAY! Sorry for no post yesterday. I have been fighting some sort of intestinal virus! Although, it could be the over excitement from the BRONCOS winning!!!!

This week Sandy Mathis has created a fun Valentine Tic Tac Toe that I am sure you all will be able to play!

So for my Tic Tac Toe I started on the bottom left and went diagonally up! So Patterned Paper, Love and Hearts! The great thing about this card is there was NO STAMPING! Yes you read that right! I absolutely LOVE the Carta Bella Rustic Elegance collection from last summer! Justin had sent me some of the collection from Scrap-A-Latte. After receiving the paper, I decided I needed a mini hoard of it and most of everything that went with it!  

So lets get started! I started with the base that Mint Macaron card stock base. I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The Heart Patterned paper was matted onto Early Espresso Card Stock. I also used the Vintage Photo ink on the edges of the patterned paper as well! The cute little crochet trim and bow are of course from Stampin' Up as well as the wooden "Celebrate"! The "love" was from the Rustic Elegance Ephemera pack! I added some dimension to this by using Dimensionals and a matte of Blushing Bride!! To finish this card I used the cute little roses!

Have A Great Day! 

Stamp Ink Paper 31 Birthday Challenge

Well we made it through Monday!! The kids and I are all sharing a cold it seems! After all sharing is caring! Am I the only one with Christmas stuff still up? Justin thought I was crazy when I told I waited until Super Bowl Sunday to take it down... THAT is why I have an artificial tree! In all honesty it may be down this weekend... 

This weeks theme for Stamp, Ink, Paper is great! It is a Birthday themed card and who doesn't need a good birthday themed card! Our design team came up with some real cuties! Make sure you click on the picture below to get all the challenge details. I can't wait to show you mine!

Of course when I knew that Birthday was the theme I knew I wanted to use my It's My Party DSP! Once I picked the star pattern I took off running! The card base is made using Stampin' Up! Melon Mambo card stock with a Basic Black matte. The tag is something I had in my stash... The stamp is from Unity Stamp Company. It is called "Damn You're Old"!! Now you can stop laughing! There are those friends and or relatives that deserve a card like this! If you know me.... I am one of those friends! I stamped this in our Basic Black Archival Ink and colored it in with our Melon Mambo, Basic Black, and Daffodil Delight markers. I even used a little Gold Wink Of Stella on the flames! I die cut the cake and the black circle behind it using the Circle Framelits. The sentiment was stamped using Versamark ink with the White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I actually made this little banner myself using the Banner Triple punch and a Fiskars Spring Hammer Punch. I tied this to the tag with Mint Macaron and Black Bakers twine and adhered it with a Stampin' Dimensional. I also adhered the circles with Dimensionals. Now what is a Birthday with out a little confetti?! Well my enamel dots are my "confetti" and finished off this card just right!

I hope you love my cake! 

Happy Birthday Card Making!!

Stamp Ink Paper #20 Color Challenge

Happy Tuesday!! I made it through a Monday with all the kids home! We had a really great weekend with family!! The kids got to see Hotel Transylvania 2 and play with their cousin all weekend! Life is "slowing" down for now... I have a craft fair in a few weeks that I REALLY need to buckle down and get ready for!

When Justin announced our challenge to the design team this week I have to say that I oozed with excitement! He had recently sent me some paper from Scrap-A-Latte. It is from Carte Bella and is called the Rustic Elegance collection! 

Now,  I know I have some extra colors! But this card turned out AH-MAZING!!!!

The base is made with Early Espresso with a matte of Blushing Bride. I cut the 12 x 12 of this paper so that I could used the bottom left to make the card. I then adhered it to the Blushing Bride! I was lucky enough to have two pages of this pattern, So I fussy cut the flower in the corner and set it aside. I made about 5 loops using the metallic thread in gold. I put that underneath my fussy cut flower that I popped up with dimensionals. I then stamped "Being yourself is the prettiest thing you can be" in Versamark so that I could heat emboss this in gold. I then accented all the flowers with gold and white Wink of Stella. The Pretty Pink Posh sequins set this thing off. I used espresso and lime sorbet and used Stampin' Up's new Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere them! 

So glad you stopped by!! I really just love this card!!!

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #18 Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday! You made it through Monday which is always half the battle!! All is well in Tucker household other than me fighting some sort of cold. I thought it was allergies but it has gone to my chest. Kids get to go to the Pumpkin Patch with school today! So we will have 3 pumpkins to torment when they get home! 

I really love the sketch that Justin came up with for us this week! I mean I really could have done anything with this sketch! So I chose to get a little festive! I hope you enjoy!

This lovely card started with a base of Crumb Cake Card stock. I used the Circle Framelits to die cut the circle with my Big Shot out of the Soft Sky Card Stock. I the used a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the pine tree from the Lovely As A Tree set 3 times in various heights. I then adhered the Soft Sky over the Very Vanilla. I used the Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake Card stock to create the banner at the bottom on the circle. The Banner Triple Punch was the perfect item to finish off the ends. I then took the "Snow" sentiment from the Sparkly Seasons bundle and cut it out of Champagne Glimmer paper and adhered it using 2 way glue pen. The Banner was attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. I think that the Snowflake Elements are just AMAZING!! To adhere these to the card I used the new Fine Tip Glue Pen.What's a card without some ribbon or twine?! I made a fab little bow on the top right using our Linen Thread! POW!!! Done! 

Thank You so much for stopping in! Have a great day!
