Fabulous Borderettes

I really like the look of the Borderettes stamp set.  It is a bit tricky to get them straight on the clear block though.  The way that I got them straight was to place the edge of the plastic case on top of the clear block, then place the borderette stamp along the edge of the case.

I did use my Stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure I got the rows exactly perfect on my card. (I will say, I tried to accomplish this without the stamp-a-ma-jig without good results! lol!)

I covered up the words on Fabulous Four set, so only 'Thanks' was inked -- and again with my Stamp-a-ma-jig -- I stamped onto the card above the borderette.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set - Fabulous Four, Borderettes
Ink - Strawberry Slush, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Memento Ink
Paper - Strawberry Slush, Basic Black, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie DSP, Daffodil Delight DSP
Accessories - Stamp-a-ma-jig, Big Shot, Banners Framelits

Simple Border

Hi there! Working on a few Thank You cards today, and decided to use a few of the new stamp sets that I purchased along with some new washi tape too. I'm really liking the washi tape... why didn't I jump on this when they first came out?

I used the 'Sweet Dreams' washi tape -- not sure what colors are in the set, so I paired this particular tape closely with Bermuda Bay cardstock. Close enough! LOL!  Oh darn it... I just figured what the colors are with this set... this tape is Lost Lagoon! I'll remember for next time I use it! haha

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Simply Wonderful, Borderettes
Ink - Memento Ink, Coastal Cabana Blendabilities
Paper - Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
Accessories - Color Lifter, Sweet Dreams Washi Tape

Flower Greetings

I needed a card to go along with some curtains I made, but didn't have a generic "Hello" sentiment.  So, with the 'Good Greetings' stamp set... I used the 'Hello' from 'Hello Love' and the 'to you' from 'Boo to you'.  Clever huh?

I knew I wanted to use the Hello Honey cardstock with the honeycomb embossing, but wasn't to sure about the inside of the flower.  I had chosen a Coral at first, but that just didn't look right. I then tried Black Staz-on.  Perfect! I added Wild Wasabi for the leaves and it went smoothly after that!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Flower Patch, Good Greetings
Paper - Hello Honey, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink - Hello Honey, Wild Wasabi, Black Staz-on
Accessories - Honeycomb TIEF, Big Shot, Ovals Collection Framelits, Flower Fair Framelits, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

More Birthday Kindness

I really love how this card evolved.  I wanted to use just the image (not the words) in the "Love is Kindness" stamp, so I masked the words before I ink it with Memento ink.

I was looking for a sentiment that would fit in the lower left (as the image was standing up at that point).  I finally realized that I could lay the image on it's side....thus giving me plenty of room for the sentiment (from the "And Many More" stamp set. Perfect!

I had first thought to dry emboss the white background, but figured that would be too plain.  So when I saw the dots in the "Endless Birthday Wishes" stamp set.... I said that would work better.

Voila! It's a beauty!

2014 Christmas Cards

I decided to create my own Christmas Cards, and thought a 6x6 card would be a different size choice than the norm.

When I received them in the mail, they really turned out beautiful! However, when I went to place them in the envelope.... the card did not fit. Come to find out, the envelope size is a 6x6 instead of the 6.25x6.25 needed. So, I needed to trim 1/8" from each side (tedious!).

I will need to wait until Monday to call Stampin' Up! to discuss why this happened and to hopefully resolve the issue in the future. ****Update*** I did call Stampin' Up! on Monday and they would have mailed out to me the correct size envelopes for my cards.  But, since I had already trimmed my cards to fit the envelopes, they will make sure that this does not happen to future orders.

Supplies Used:
Background paper - Very Vanilla
Punches - Square (filled w/Textured Cardstock - Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake)
Embellishments - Basic Rhinestones
Stamp Brush Set - Endless Wishes (snowflake and words - Pool Party, Crumb Cake); Love Story (chevron - Pool Party and Crumb Cake)
Font - Broach(Very Vanilla)

Maui - MDSM87

 

Just got back from our Hawaii vacation, and wanted to use one of our photos from our trip for the MDS Monday Blog Sketch this week.  You may view the challenge and all the lovely pages from this sketch here: http://mdsmonday.blogspot.com/2014/10/mdsm87-yaphas-first-sketch.html

This one was a huge challenge for me, as I chose to make all the boxes photo boxes, and when you add DSP to photo boxes....the DSP is really tiny, so you need to zoom out in all of them.  The reason I chose to do all photo boxes instead of a mix of photo boxes and rounded punches -- was the roundedness of the photo boxes were not in uniform with the rounded punch shape.  I mean.... I guess you couldn't really tell that huge of a difference between the two, but I wasn't happy with it.  So, making them all photo boxes worked well for my purposes! =)

In placing the photo within several photo boxes, I grouped those photo boxes together before placing my photo within those boxes.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:

Background Paper - Crumb Cake

Embellishments - Timeless Taffeta Trimmings (bow - Not Quite Navy); Dahlias (Crumb Cake)

Stamp Brush Set - Natural Composition Overlays (Sahara Sand)

Punch - Rounded Corner (Whisper White)

Photo Boxes - Watercolor Wonder DSP #11 recolored Midnight Muse and #12 

Font - Formal (Whisper White); CK Cutie (Not Quite Navy)

Something with a Twist

As I started creating this card..... it took A LOT of time to get to this point.  Which, I am very pleased how it turned out.

I had originally thought just to use the flowers in a straight line with a sentiment on the top.  Easy.... and not a lot of though to the design.  As I was punching out the flowers, they reminded me of the flowers in Hawaii....and the coconut drinks that they have there. (My mind is constantly thinking of Hawaii.... we love it there!)

Anyway, back to my thought process, as I was using the Big Shot (to make the top portion of the Early Espresso cardstock curved and using the Woodgrain TIEF), I decided that the sentiment should go on the bottom rather than the top.  I used the 'Something to Say' heart stamp to create the leaf.

In creating the "straw" I used the 'Bloom with Hope' stem stamp and just drew in the oval for the top of the straw.  Cool - huh!

I finished the flowers up by adding Dazzling Details to the center of each flower!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets - Something to Say, Bloom with Hope, Itty Bitty Banners
Paper - Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso, Whisper White
Ink - Early Espresso, Tangelo Twist, Pear Pizzazz, Pistachio Pudding, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
