Stamp Ink Paper 136 Cabin Fever

Happy Tuesday! Sorry I have been a bit MIA... Kids have been sick and in all honesty, it sucks the life out of me. It also zaps my creativity!

I am back with the Stamp Ink Paper Design Team this week and some of us are suffering from Cabin Fever! So this challenge is to celebrate warm weather!!!

What better to celebrate warm weather than some Limeade!!! I took the citrus side of a piece of the Tutti Fruity DSP and ran with it!! This DSP is so nice with the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon! I made my cute little sentiment using the Labeler stamp set with Peekaboo Peach ink! My fun glass of Limeade is made using the Lemon Lime Twist ink pad and my amazing Blender Pens. I stamped the glass and ice cubes from the Mixed Drinks stamp set using Basic Black Archival Ink before coloring it in. I die cut my stitched circle using the Stitched Shapes framelits and added a nice Green Glimmer Paper scallop using the Layering Circles. A quick band of the same DSP across the Daffodil Delight Stripe was perfect. This is matted on to a fresh layer of Lemon Lime Twist Card Stock on a Peekaboo Peach Card Base!

I can't wait to see what you create with this fabulous theme!

Have a great Tuesday!

Paper Craft Crew 277 Sketch Challenge

I am back on the Paper Craft Crew today! I have a houseful of sickies! Influenza has hit our house! Cross our fingers that no one else gets it!

I am designing today with the Paper Craft Crew and we have a fun sketch for you all to play along with! 

I am going to keep this post short and sweet as I am playing nurse today! This fun and fabulous card started with a base of Daffodil Delight and was matted with Basic Black. The stripe is from the Tutti Frutti DSP. my black and white piece is from the Pick A Pattern DSP and I used my Envelope Punch Board to round the corners. I wanted to added some texture to the card so I instantly grabbed the Wood Textures DSP! I then stamped the flowers from the Amazing You Stamp set with Memento Ink and then used the Stampin' Blends to color them in! My Paper Snips got a workout coloring these out. I used some Gold Glimmer Paper with the Leaf Punch to add some sparkle. The Celebrate You Thinlits were perfect for this card... I like to cut multiples and adhere them together to give it some thickness! A few Glitter Clear Dots and I was done!!!

I can't wait to see what you make for this sketch! Have an amazing day!

TGIF Challenges 143 Awesome Friends

TGIF!!! For real, do you ever have one of those weeks where you feel like your head is just in a constant state of spinning. That was this week and I hit my max yesterday with after school club, dance and an accountability committee all at the same time... I was 7 minutes late to the meeting, it couldn't be prevented and it really isn't going to change on Thursdays it seems because with the boys doing wrestling and Taryn doing dance it is just going to be crazier! I guess I should just be happy that there wasn't wrestling last night!!! Thank god for Crock Pots!

TGIF Challenges is designing with the theme "Awesome Friends". I was a bit stumped as I had done a friendship type card on my last design team post for TGIF and I wanted to branch out a bit!

First lets talk about my card base! It is from the Tutti Fruity Card Bases and Envelope pack in the Sale A Bration catalog. I matted this with Real Red Card Stock and used the Night of Navy pattern in the Tutti Fruity DSP pack. I then used the Stitched Circles in two different sizes to make my 3 circles. The berry pattern is on the opposite side of the Night Of Navy side. The Crafting Forever stamp set seemed appropriate for this challenge. The sentiment is stamped with Night Of Navy ink. My cute little scissors are stamped with Memento so that I could color them using our Stampin' Blends markers and of course fussy cut out with Paper Snips. I used the Cherry Cobbler cross-stitch ribbon to keep with the farm stand feel. A quick Whisper White Bakers Twine Bow in one of the new Wood Buttons was a cute finishing touch!

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

This is something that I know for sure will warm you up! Stamp Ink Paper is back with a fun emboss it challenge! I couldn't wait to ink up some new goodies that will be available to you TOMORROW!!!!

This card started with lovely Pink Pirouette and Old Olive Stampin' Blend colored flower from the Petal Passion Memories and More Card pack. When you receive this card pack you will see that it has some of its own "spatters" on it. I decided to heat emboss more spatters with Gold Stampin' Emboss powder. The image alone is stunning but once I juiced it up a bit it surprised me how awesome it looked! I layered this onto a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock that was embossed with the Ruffle dynamic embossing folder. I added a strip of the Fancy Acetate and a Gold Foil stitched circle. Now, this Memories and More pack has coordinating DSP but I liked the Black and White stripe in the Tutti Frutti DSP more. My gorgeous sentiment is from the Sale A Bration catalog. The Celebrate You thinlits are AMAZING!! I simply die cut this twice and once adhered I heat embossed it twice again using the Gold Stampin' Emboss powder. A few Gold Faceted Gems and this beauty was done!

I can't wait to see what you make for this weeks challenge! I will back later today with a fun blog hop FULL of Sale A Bration goodies to get you ready for tomorrow!!!
