SFF061711 and Stamping 411Color Inspiration 159-Sneak Peek!

I've been wanting to ink up Snow Much Fun every since I got it.  I love the images from this set, which will be available on July 1.

I used the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday and the color challenge from Stamping 411.  I forgot to put the brads on before I attached the basic gray piece, so I just added them to 1/2" circles of cherry cobbler and attached them with glue dots.  I love the CAS design of this sketch and the colors from the challenge fit perfect with this image. 

Thanks for looking!

Sketchy Thursdays 041411

Sketchy Thursdays has a 2-page sketch this week.  Once again I am using older photos (21 years old in fact!). It was fun to do a 2-page layout.

Thanks for looking!

Jolly Old Saint Nick

This is another card I made Saturday.  I just love this santa image from Jolly Old Saint Nick.  I watercolored the image with markers and blender pen.  I added some white glitter to the shading on his beard and hat.  I used the sparkly dsp, Candy Cane Christmas. He really does look quite jolly!

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Wreath

Welcome Christmas has several wonderful old-timey images. Perfect for vintage cards, but also with the Candy Cane Christmas DSP that I chose to use.  The little ribbon bow on the wreath was attached with a rhinestone brad.

Tags Til Christmas

I love this ornament from Tags Til Christmas. I stamped it twice on Cherry Cobbler cs, then punched it out with the ornament punch.  I used the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I added a pearl to the center of each ornament.  Tied a bow around the top with retired gold cord. All elements are on dimensionals. The DSP is Jolly Holiday.

Thanks for looking!

Paisley Trees

I made a card today using my new Paisley Prints.  I stamped the 2 background trees in Pear Pizzazz and stamped the other tree in Old Olive on another piece of cardstock. I cut it out and put it up on dimensionals. I embossed the retired Ruby Red with the square lattice embossing folder. I added some Pear Pizzazz ribbon and sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Thanks for stopping by.

October group card #2

I had planned on sponging around the edges of the very vanilla panels, but forgot until after I had them glued down.  Later I decided that the paper was muted enough and that I rather liked the unsponged look.

Thanks for looking!

October group card #1

I really love this set.  I couldn't get a good pic of it, so the colors don't look quite like they should.  I used perfect plum and elegant eggplant.  Looks much lighter in the photo.  The image is embossed with clear embossing powder over elegant eggplant craft ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

PPA61 Come to Bethlehem

This simple card was created for the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge.  I love this stamp and will probably make a lot of Christmas Cards with it.  

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

Come back soon!

Come to Bethlehem

I am sorry it has been so long since I last posted.  I had to go back to school on Aug. 17 and I never seem to get anything else accomplished as I ease back into work.  Finally had a little extra time this weekend so I did a little stamping.  I had some left over supplies already cut for a card (shown below) that my group made last year.  So I used them with my new stamp set, Come to Bethlehem.  Here is the recipe:

Stamps:  Come to Bethlehem
Paper:  whisper white, night of navy, brushed silver
Ink:  Versamark
Extras:  Silver embossing powder, dimensionals

Here is the card we made last year:
