Good Morning!!

Good morning everyone!! I am soo excited because tomorrow I will be going to the North Texas Shoebox Swap with my DD Holly!!! We will be stamping from 9AM to 9PM...Whoohoo!!! I can't wait to show you some of the cards we make in Sunday's post!! Today I will show you a few of the cards I made last week.

I was a stamping machine last Tuesday for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast. I used a lot of the scraps sitting on my stamping counter from the previous card I made and then some!!!

I make one with the Mojo88 sketch (the one on the left) and all the images were stamped images that were sitting in my unfinished projects drawer waiting for a little love. They were all colored with copics, the dp scraps came from my scrap box and the images were all cut out with various types of Nesties. This was soooo much fun!!

Recipe:
Stamps: Elzybells, Cornish Heritage Farms Hey Chickie, Penny Black Garden Friends
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, So Saffron, White, Doodlebug dp, SU dp, The Paper Studio dp,
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Nestabilities, SU Scallop Punch, Candy Dots, Pearls, Ribbon, Martha Stewart Picket Fence Punch



This is the card I made for the Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Wednesday. It is also for last week's DDC challenge hosted by Charlene. We were to use piercing, paper piecing, Kraft, Rose, and Black cardstock. If you would like to play along be sure to add DDC to the keyworks section of you upload so we can find your cards. You can find all the DDC cards here.

The butterfly images are from Rubbernecker's new Butterfly Inchies set and the flourish is from Rubbernecker's new Flourish Inchies set. The main image butterfly and flourish were both stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and the butterfly was paper pieced with another butterfly from the set that was stamped on rose colored dp.



Piercing was done around the image and along the flourish. The other butterflies were stamped, cutout, and attached with glue dots to the layer stamped with Rubbernecker's French Script bg stamp. The background paper is from SEI called Jolie Chocolat. Silver Dew Drops and a kraft colored shear ribbon finish it off.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for a blog stroll with the Red-Hot Mommas!!! You could win some new Rubbernecker Stamps!!!

The hostess this week is Kittie and her challenge is to use frames of any kind...stamps, die cuts, metal, etc. I chose to use a chipboard frame that I stamped with the Rubbernecker Screen Background stamp using Ranger Mustard Seed Distress Ink. The background stamp was stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first so the color would be lighter. The darling little Baby Inchies images were all stamped twice with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with copics, one set was cutout and attached over the other stamped and colored images with dimensionals. The sentiment (also a Rubbernecker stamp) layers were cutout with Nestabilities and attached with dimensionals.

I wasn't going to do the Color Challenge on Splitcoast today or Cindy's Tea Pot Tuesday Challenge because I really needed to clean my dirty house but when I saw the challenge colors and Cindy's tea pot, I couldn't help myself!!! Talk about being obsessed!!! I have had this sweet little stamp by Great Impressions sitting on my stamping counter for months and really wanted to stamp it up and take it to the Tea Party...Whoohoo, girls, I'm bringing apple pie!!!!!!

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. The layers were cutout with Nesties, scallops made with a SU scallop punch, and ribbon and Candy Dots finish it off.

Thanks for dropping by......now I've got to pack up this yummy pie and head to Colorado for the tea party!!!!!

Memorial Weekend Challenge Cards

This has been a wonderful Memorial Day weekend....we had three Grandbabies spend Saturday night and stayed till Sunday afternoon. The craft room is a mess but they all had fun digging around in Grandma's stuff!!! Hopefully you have today off and will get to sleep in a little!!! I am going to show you the cards I made this weekend for the Inspiration challenge and Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoast and then I will spend the rest of the day blurfing!!! I am sooo behind on visiting everyone's blogs...life sure does get crazy sometimes!!! Anyway...

The Featured Stamper this week is Mercy (mkstampin74) and oh, my, she has a FABULOUS gallery!!! It's full of wonderful designs to case!! I needed a couple of birthday cards next week so I used my Clear Dollar Stamps Biggest Wishes set to case Mercy's I Love you, Mama card. I kept the same awesome layout and changed the colors, stamps, and moved the sentiment to the other side.
The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. I used PTI's Raspberry Fizz cardstock and colored the clear rhinestones with a copic. I don't usually pierce around the edges of my cards simply because it usually ends up crocked, however, I took my time with this and only messed up in a couple of areas....don't look too close!!!

Recipe:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps Biggest Wishes
Paper: White, Raspberry Fizz, Black, Yellow
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copics, Rhinestones, Nestabilities, Ribbon, Dimensionals
I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge, too.
After I saw Mercy's gorgeous Monochromatic Silhouettes card, I knew I had to case it!! I kept the wonderful layout but changed the colors, stamps, added the flowers and pearls, changed where she placed the ribbon, and added the picket fence border. This is also for the Clear Dollar Stamps Color Challenge on Papercraft Planet to use Riding Hood Red, Creamy Caramel, Night if Navy, and White. Well, wouldn't ya know I didn't even have a scrap of NON left so I used Not Quite Navy. The adorable image and sentiment from Clear Dollar Stamps Nested Love set were colored with copics. An old tooth brush was used to flick Creamy Caramel around the edges and the paper is from Stampin Up!

The leaves were cutout with a Stampin Up! die, and I have had the ribbon for ages...finally got a chance to use it!!

The Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast was hosted again this week by my friend Anne (Itsapassion). She challenged us to be inspired by the handbags from an online store called Little Odd Forest.

Now, this challenge could cost me some money...aren't those little handbags beautiful!!! I was in a purple kinda mood so I found my inspiration from the Purple Posies purse. I colored the flowers in a vase image from Impression Obsession with copics and used Wisteria dp to paper piece the vase, for the Labels 3 layer, and for the background layer. The purple paper is Prism classic Purple.

The image was cutout with an oval Nestabilities and then layered with the Labels 3 nesties and an oval scalloped nestie underneath. It wasn't long enough so I cut it in two pieces and taped the pieces so they peaked out on the top and bottom. I layered 3 ribbons to give a little depth of color. I actually had a bow on the top but it didn't look right so I took it off. I can't believe I didn't add any bling...what's up with that????

Stamps: Impression Obsession
Paper: White, Prism Classic Purple

The Limited Supply Challenge on Splitcoast today is to use circles. Wendy also limited us to use images from only one stamp set. I decided to make a bowl of fruit this morning...reminds me of a picnic!! The Clear Dollar Stamps Fruity Fun images were stamped with craft inks and embossed with clear ep. This also qualifies for the Stampin B's challenge to use a border punch...check, circle...check, leaf or branch....they are small but check.....2 or more brads....check!!!

Ways to Use It Challenge

The Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast yesterday was to find ways to stamp the same image more than once. ...I really had to think for this one!!! I decided to use the Rubbernecker shells and sentiment to create a little underwater scene...this also qualifies for last weeks DDC challenge hosted by Fran (Francie G.) to make a card featuring water. You can see all the other DDC cards here. If you want to play along be sure to add DDC to the keywords section of you upload.

The background was created using Sherry's Wrinkle Free Distressing technique first by stamping the images with Distress Embossing Ink and embossing with clear ep. Then I used Pine Needles and Peeled Paint Ranger Distress inks as shown in Sherry's tutorial and then misted with Perfect Pearls after the ink was set with the heat tool..

The shells were again stamped on the Prism Papers, cutout, covered with Glossy Accents and dusted with glitter. The ribbon finishes it off.

Wacky Wednesday and The Dirty Dozen / Alumni Challenge

Good morning everyone!!! It's Wednesday and you know what that means...it's time for another Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday!!! The hostess this week is Candy and her challenge is to use inchies!! I decided to use the Rubbernecker Birthday Borders set...I just love these little cupcakes!! The cupcake border was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa, colored with copics, cut into inch squares and attached to the matting. The greeting banner was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and attached with glue dots at intervals to create the wave.

Piercing, pearls, and gingham ribbon finishes it off. The closeup shows the wave in the banner.
The Stampin Up! scalloped border punch was used on the bottom edge.

Dirty Dozen /Alumni Monthly Challenge


This months Dirty Dozen/Alumni Challenge is to create a project that has something to do with water. It can be in the stamps, paper, or embellishments. We are to celebrate the happiness of warm weather and warm water. The only requirements are that we are to use watercoloring somewhere on the card and we can only use two embellishments...yikes!!!

I decided to use this gorgeous stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs called Foot Prints in the Sand. The image was stamped on different shades of Prism paper three times. The top two layers were cutout with Nesties to line up with the bottom layer so the entire image can be read as if there were no layers...I hope that makes sense!! The foot prints and the water at the top were watercolored with Tempting Turquoise.





The Rubbernecker Shells were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto the Prism papers, cutout, and attached with dimensionals.

My two embellishments are the May Arts Ribbon and the brown pearls.

Stamps: ODBD and Rubbernecker
Paper: Prism Iced Teal, Frosted Teal, Vibrant Teal, Suede Brown Dark

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday and Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday

I have one more card for today...I made this little card for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge hosted by the Fabulous Silke to make a square card and for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. As I understand it, the tea party is being held in a cabin in the woods...yikes!! Sure hope there is running water and ice for my Diet Coke!!!

The adorable Flourishes Love Nest images were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto white and Bordering Blue. I ran the BB background through the cuttlebug, popped the birdcage wirh dimensionals, and colored the birds lightly with BB ink pad and an aqua pen. TFL and if you don't hear from me in a day or two, ya better send out a search party!!!!

Orange You Sweet!!!

You may need to wear your sunglasses for this post...the colors for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast today are Only Orange, Brilliant Blue, and Purely Ponegranate or Rose Red...yikes!!! It took me a while to figure out what to make...I finally decided since one of the colors was orange, I might as well work with oranges...makes since, doesn't it!!!

The fruit, bowl, and sentiment are images from Clear Dollar Stamps Fruity Fun set. They were stamped with craft inks and embossed with clear ep. The gingham paper came from Hobby Lobby (mine is only about 5 blocks away...whoohoo!!) and the button with ribbon finishes it off.








The close up shows all the dimension...the fruit and bowl were all cutout and attached with dimensionals. The strip at the top is the leftover piece from the dp after punching put the scallops...I couldn't just throw it away!!!

Five Card Upload...Whoohoo!!!

Hello everyone!!! This has been such a great Monday morning...we got 2 inched of rain over the weekend which we needed sooo badly!!! My DH is back from his weekend fishing tournament (he didn't win but had a great time) so all is well on the home front!!

Now, I don't want any of you to fall out (that's Texas talk for fainting) but I actually made 3...count them...3 CAS (Clean and Simple) cards this morning for the CAS15 challenge on Splitcoast!!!! I can't believe I actually made CAS cards and held off on the embellies and layers....Yikes!!! My DD Holly and my friend Jules will be sooo proud of me!!! The challenge was to use white, black and one other color from Stampin Up's Bold Brights group. I chose Green Galore, Brilliant Blue, and Only Orange. The green and orange cards have images from Rubbernecker's Party Time set and the blue one had Rubbernecker Shoe images and sentiment. I used different colored gingham dp from The Paper Studio, ribbons, Nestabilities to cutout the main images, and the Stampin Up Scalloped Border punch for the botton edges.


I made this card last weekend while my DH was away. I just had to use my Wisteria dp I got from Clear Dollar Stamps...it's soo gorgeous!!! The images from Rubbernecker's Party Time set were stamped with Elegant Eggplant onto the light dp and then stamped again on scraps of the Wisteria paper. The square presents were attached with tape and the front present was popped up with dimensionals. The frame is just toooo cool..it's a resin that looks like stone...I colored it with a Lavender Lace marker and attached with glue dots. The ribbon is a scrap...I just love the texture!!








The bow on the green present was paper pieced with another piece of Wisteria.

The sentiment from the same set was stamped with Elegant Eggplant onto the dp and attached to the back of the frame before the frame was attached. I don't think I'll be mailing this one....I know someome who I can hand deliver this one to!!

Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker Party Time
Paper: Whisteria dp by Basic Grey, Creamy Caramel

This was a fun card to make....I wanted to do something a little grungy because I just received the Tim Holts Keyhole and wanted to use it with the K&Co. metal frame. I didn't have a bronze colored clip so I colored a silver one with a copic marker. Junkitz Summer Collection dp called Cousins was run through the cuttlebug, sanded, and sponged with Ranger Distress inks. The Rubbernecker Wildflower Silhouettes were stamped on the next layer by coloring the stamp with a marker. The RN French Script background was stamped over the flowers and then the edges were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and the Ink Blending tool.


The sentiment was stamped on a scrap piece of dp and attached to the back of the frame with glue dots. It was then attached to the card with redline tape. May Arts Ribbon and trim finish it off.

The red flower with ribbon is a book mark....too cool and I love the cards we made...thanks, Holly, for a fun morning!!




After I got home I went to work on my card for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast...my friend Anne Harada was the hostess and she picked an awesome room from the Country Living Website as the inspiration.

I started with dp from CherryArte...layered it with White and Purely Pomegranate and used the Stampin Up! scalloped punch on the botton edges. The Stampin Up!chipboard branch was colored with a Chocolate Chip marker and attached with glue dots. The SU bird die was used to create the birds...I ran it through the Cuttlebug with Purely Pomegranate cs and the sentiment was from Clear Dollar Stamps Biggest Wishes set. Purely Pomegranate ribbon and tiny rhinestones from Taylored Expressions finished it off.






I just love these little birds...the wings are cut separately and attached with a glue dot. Ya know, when Purely Pomegranate first came out I wasn't too impressed but now that it's retired, I can't seem to live without it!!!
