Oh, Hello!!

 
Good morning and thanks for stopping by.  Today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, we are sharing projects made from the retiring stamp set "Oh, Hello".  It is always sad to see our beloved stamp sets retire and leave, but when one door closes, another opens and you know what that means right??  We are gearing up and getting ready for new stamp sets to make their way in!

 
With my card, I went with wisteria wonder as my card base and very vanilla as a layer that was embossed with the chevron folder.  I inked up my brayer and cover my paper doily in crushed curry.  I really wanted it top pop off my card with its deep rich color.  The DSP banners are from the "afternoon picnic".  I stamped and cut out the chevron pattern from the stamp set and added it to the center of the doily.  On top of that, I stamped "Oh, Hello" in coastal cabana on a cut out from the apothecary accents framelit set.  For my final detail, I cut two pieces of natural chevron ribbon, cut banner tails and added a button on top.

 
If you follow my blog at all, you know that when I create a card, I always like to share with you the inside too.  I keep it simple with stamping and make sure to allow room for a hand written message.  In this case, I did three simple stamps down the side in pear pizzazz, crushed curry and coastal cabana.

A Flowered Picnic with FM155

Well its hump day and you know what that means?!  Only two more days til the weekend and boy am I ready for it.  Not that its been a long week, but I have good news and bad news.  I know, the bad news first.  I have been having some issues with my steering with my Traverse.  Yep, you guessed it.  My power steering pump is gone, dead, not working, adios!!  And as you may know it, its not the parts that's gonna cost me my arm and leg, toes, fingers, hair, etc...  yep, its the labor.  That good old expensive mechanic labor we all love to pay out the wazoo for!  YUCK!  Double YUCK!  So what's the good news? Well the good news, is that I have been feeling very upset, angry and just disappointed after getting this news this morning, that I wanted to make a card in hopes that it would cheer me up (a little) not $800 happier but a littler happier!!
 
I decided to play along with the fun challenge over at The Friday Mashup.  What a fun challenge in deed.  A lot of different colors with a combo of creating a shaped card.  So I went to town and here is what I came up with.  Even though it poured down rain all day here yesterday, the sun is out today and shining bright.  So it made me think of the pretty green grass and flowers we will be getting after all this rain. 
 
I created a picnic basket from soft suede, embossed it with my lattice folder, added a piece of DSP to represent a basket cloth liner and added some pretty flowers down the side.  Now this cheers me up and makes me happy!!

 
I made the basket so that it still opens up so you can write your greeting inside and also so that the handles swivel and fold down just like a real basket.

 
I used the spiral flower die to create my flowers in pool party, wisteria wonder and calypso coral.  To get my wild wasabi color in, I used the leaf framelit from the secret garden set.  I also added a lacey ribbon mixed with daffodil delight seam binding ribbon for the bow.
 
I sure do hope you have enjoyed my shaped basket card for my take on the challenge over at The Friday Mashup, and anyone wanting to contribute to my power steering pump fund is more than welcome too!!!  JUST PICKING!!
