Polka Dot Happy with Curtain Call Challenge

Good morning, its hump day!  Officially #1 week until I leave to head to Utah for Stampin' Up!'s Convention.  Girl time here I come!!!  Todays card is for the challenge over at Curtain Call.  My card is a little different in the since that it isn't really for a Birthday, unless your turning an age your not particularly happy with!!  HA! HA!  No, my card is to cheer someone up!  When I looked at the inspiration photo, I saw bright colors and polka dots. 

 

I used the new dots and stripes masking template to create my polka dots for my background.  I used colors of coastal cabana, crushed curry, crisp cantaloupe and strawberry slush.  the tag stamped with "cheer up buttercup" is from the project life label framelit set.  I tied it on with some of the new in color thick twine and added a clear button with a bow in black bakers twine.

 

Some cute polka dots added to the inside makes for easy and quick decoration

Triangle Fun with PPA203 & MOJO345

Good morning and thanks for stopping by.  I have been a busy little happy stamper the past few days.  Not only did I have a lot of uninterrupted time in my craft room on Mother's Day to play with my paper and ink, but I also had some free time on Monday to create too!  Today's card is for the color challenge over at Pals Paper Arts and the sketch is for Mojo Monday.

I already in full force for getting a jump start on Father's Day cards.  I know my sisters will be hitting me up shortly to see what I have made up and I want to be prepared!  The sketch called for 4 layered circles but I swapped them out for 4 layered triangles.  I cut out the triangles on my own and embossed them with the arrow folder.  The colors of night of navy and cajun craze worked perfect for a masculine looking father's day card don't you think?  I then stamped and punched out 4 small triangles using the geometrical stamp set.  I also for fun added a candy dot in matching color to each small triangle.  I used the gorgeous grunge  stamp set to add a background behind the large embossed triangles.  For the left side of the card, I used the gold bakers twine to tie around.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ very vanilla, night of navy and cajun craze

Ink ~ cajun craze, night of navy

Stamp sets ~ gorgeous grunge, geometrical, teeny tiny wishes

Misc. ~ triangle punch, gold bakers twine, regal candy dots, arrow embossing folder

Hooray for today ~ with CTS#74 and HSS#185

Good evening, yes, today you are getting to catch my blog twice, and what better way than for a creation inspired by two challenges.  The sketch covers Cas(e) This Sketch and the color scheme covers Hand Stamped Sentiments, both of which are awesome!  You should go play along too!

 

The sketch is simple, which I loved cause its something I struggle with and am trying to improve on and get better with.  Why?  Cause I just love layers!  If you look closely, I do have an added layer of coastal cabana behind the stamped top layer. Tee Hee!!  I just can't resist...I LOVE PAPER!!

 

I used the Geometrical stamp set to stamp in colors of baked brown sugar, tangerine tango and coastal cabana, to scatter around the top of the card to go work with the sketch.  As a background stamp, I used Off the Grid (boo hoo!, so sad to see it go!)  I also to stamped two triangles in T. tango and punched out with coordinating punch and placed on top the two stamped ones with a foam dot for a little 3-D look.  I added some candy dots to my sentiment and scattered around a few gold sequins.  The gold bakers twine crisscrossed at the bottom just ties everything together.

 

Of course, I'm showing the inside...its just as important as the outside!  Although, now that I look at this, it would be pretty for a front too, with some added sequins and twine!!  Whatcha thing?!

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ whisper white, tangerine tango and coastal cabana

Ink ~ baked brown sugar, tangerine tango and coastal cabana

Stamp Set ~ Geometrical, Off the Grid

Misc. ~ triangle punch, gold bakers twine and gold sequin trim

 

As always, I hope you have enjoyed my take on the two challenges.  Don't forget to leave some "love"!  Be sure you stop by tomorrow, it's our monthly blog hop with Stylin' Stampin' Squad!!

 

 

 

 

 

A Cute Whittle Easter Bunny Scrapbook Page

 

Good morning!  Thanks for joining me here with Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration today!  April is the month that brings us those showers, but this year its the month that brings us "Easter".  As we all celebrate in our own different ways, one thing is sure, its the time we get together as a family and celebrate our blessings.  For my family its a traditional family Easter dinner, followed by a huge egg hunt for the kids and adults.  What the adults too!?!  Yep!  The adults on the other hand don't play for chocolate (of course that would be fine by me!!), nope we play for $money$...cha-ching!!  Here is how it goes:  every adult who wants to play pays $5 to join in.  All the money is put in a pot.  One lucky egg will have a golden ticket inside.  Now here is the fun part...the KIDS go and hide the eggs for us.  They have so much fun doing this, cause as a normal tradition, they don't get to do this.  After all the eggs have been hidden, the adults race, oh YES, race.  We push and shove and run to go find those eggs!  I mean, the lucky winner can win anywhere from about $50-$100!  I don't know about you but, I will run around like a crazy Easter Bunny hunting eggs for that kind of cash!!  The one to find the egg with the golden ticket, whens the loot!! Winner$ Winner$ Chicken Dinner!!

So in keeping with the Easter fun, my project is a 8"x8" scrapbook page.  I will use this page to highlight the winner of our adult egg hunt!

 

So my page is pretty simple with some DSP layers.  I punched and added a border strip in crushed curry and coastal cabana.  I also added a fun piece of chevron ribbon and topped it with one of the new in color buttons.  The main focal point of course is the cute little bunny!

The bunny is put together using a few simple standard punches.  Med. oval punch for ears and feet, 3/4" circle for the hands, 1" circle for the nose, large oval for the body, word window cut in half for the eyes, 1/2" circle for the bottom circle on feet and the little circle from the itty bitty punch set for the other circles on the feet.

I hope you have enjoyed my whittle Easter bunny page.  Don't forget to leave some "love" before heading over to the main Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration page to see all the other wonderful Easter projects!

Supplies Used

Triangle Play with FM148

Happy, happy weekend! After my long run on this beautiful day, I headed to my craft room to play with my toys!!  I have been wanting to join in the fun challenge with The Friday Mashup, but didn't quite know what I wanted to do.  I knew I wanted to do a kinda quilt pattern, so after looking around, I found a pattern that worked! 

I wanted it to bright and cheerful so I used colors of pacific point, tangerine tango and so saffron.  I stamped and punched out several triangles and got to work playing around and arranging my pattern to fit my white card base layer. I wanted blue in the middle so it was a perfect space to put my stamped sentiment.  The Label Love set worked perfectly!!!

I added some stamped triangles to the inside, and was done!  I will add my birthday greeting later.

 

Don't forget to head over to The Friday Mashup to see the rules and how you can join in the fun!

Stamp Set ~ geometrical and label love

Hooray for Today!!!! FMS124

Moving on to my second and final post for today!  I am so happy to be sharing both of my challenge cards with you today!  This one is for the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches!

This layout was a little tricky for me, only because I had in mind another stamp set to use, but another card had not only been made with it, but almost in the same way I was gonna use it...that doesn't happen to often, but great minds think a like sometimes...  then I decided to go bright and bold, so I started with the perfect stamp set and DSP for that job...Geometrical stamp set and Kaleidoscope DSP.  Yep that worked!!! 

and of course I added some matching triangles inside to pull it all together.

 

 

Supplies Used

Stamp Set ~ Geometrical

Cardstock ~ blasic black, whisper white, Bermuda bay

Happy Birthday with CCMC289

Well as I am posting this card that I created today, I just realized that the time frame to enter has ended, but oh well, I'm posting it anyway!  Better late than never I always say!  I had created this card with the sketch challenge over at Create with Connie & Mary.

 

and here is what I created...

With part of my goal for the New Year, I am finding that I need a lot of Birthday cards!  So far I have been able to make on time and send out B-day cards to family and friends!  This card is bright and cheerful and sure to make anyone happy on their birthday!  One of the fun things I like about this card is the layered banner in the corner using the Birthday Basics DSP.

I liked it so much, that I created another layered banner using it again on the inside.  I will fill in my birthday message when I'm ready to send it off.
