Birds and Balloons

Good morning everyone....yeaaaaaa it's Thursday and almost the weekend!! I don't have much planned ....stamp a little, weed a little, maybe go to a movie, and bake a cake. I have a recipe for an Italian Cream Cake that I have wanted to make for a while now...doesn't it sound yummy (buttermilk, roasted pecans, coconut, cream cheese frosting...ooooh my!!)
Anyway....I did a little stamping last night using some beautiful paper called It's the Little Things by Fancy Pants. The birdcage and bird stamp from Waltzingmouse's Asian Garden set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black into the dp...Stampin up!'s flower dies were used for the flower and a Sizzix die was used for the leaves. Sewing around the edges, twine, and a button finish it off.

Recipe: Stamps: Waltzingmouse's Asian Garden, Paper: Pure Luxury Kraft, Black, Sage Shadow, Fancy Pants dp

Ink: Versamark Onyx Black, Accessories: Twine, Sewing Machine, Button, Sizzix Leaf Die, Stampin Up! Flower Dies

I made this card with the same Fancy Pants papers and Verve's Up, Up, and Away set. I won this set a few weeks ago in a Mojo Monday challenge...Whoohoo!!! The balloons were all paper pieced with the Fancy Pants dp and popped up with foam dots. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and the button and twine are the finishing details.

Welcome to another Creative Belli Challenge!! The challenge this two weeks is to make a card or project with things from your..TOOL SHED - bring out those forgotten tools (button maker, cropadile, eyelet setter, tag maker, etc...) I used a crimper for the tree and a cloud die that I haven't used is quite a while.
Be sure to use something old and forgotten from your stash, too...the Belli Challenge is all about using your old stuff and forgotten treasures!!!

My card features the adorable Perky Plants set from Paper Smooches....the flowers and bee were paper pieced with Stella Rose Paper from My Minds Eye and the sentiment was stamped on the cloud diecut from Taylored Expressions. The tree was cutout of a piece of Stella Rose dp and crimped with a crimper..... sewing was done around the background edges. The grass was cutout with MFT's Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics and the Baker's Twine and button finish it off.

This is for a few other challenges:

TLC 326 Sentiment Underneath

Hello everyone!! It's my turn to host the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast today and my challenge is called Sentiment Underneath.
It's pretty simple...just attach an image panel on the front of your card with a brad at the top only. Then stamp the sentiment under the image panel on the cardstock, patterned paper, or another panel. You can make a card or just use one piece of cardstock for your card since the sentiment is under the front panel...you really don't need an inside to the card.
You can write you message on the back or make the front movable panel large enough for the sentiment and a message.

This is a great way to conserve cardstock, use up all your scraps, and make a thinner card for mailing!!

The chandelier image from Rubbernecker's Clowns and Crowns set was embossed on Night of Navy cardstock with white ep and cutout with the Fleur De Lis Square Nestabilities. It was attached to the background panel with one brad only. The sentiment is from Rubbernecker's Butterflies are Free set. The RN Wild Garden Border was stamped with Night of Navy onto the SU dp and the seam binding, button, and twine finish it off.

Recipe: Stamps: Rubbernecker Clowns and Crowns #SKU 528, Wild Garden Corner #SKU-539-04, Butterflies are Free #SKU-538, Paper: White, Night of Navy, Stampin Up! dp, Ink: Night of Navy, Versamark
Accessories: Brad, White Embossing Powder, Fleur De Lis Nestabilities, Seam Binding, Twine, Button

Thanks for visiting...be sure to stop by Splitcoast and join us in the TLC challenge...I would love to see what you create!!!

North Texas Shoebox Swap

Hello everyone...I got back from Denton, Texas around 10:00 last night and took these pictures of the cards we made at the swap. Sorry the light wasn't great....hope you can see them ok!! We had so much fun and everyone had such a wonderful time!! The girls are already planning a swap in the fall for Christmas cards...Whoohoo...put me on the list!!!

This is the card and name badge I made for the swap...I used Rubbernecker's Paris 1908 #SKU:527 set...this is my favorite RN set from the new release!! I stamped a collage on the background using Memento Rich Cocoa and Memento Desert Sand. The couple image was stamped with Rich Cocoa and sponged with Ranger Vintage Photo. The lace, twine, and button finish it off.

Thanks for visiting...have a great Sunday!!!

With a Song

Good morning everyone....hope all is well on this wonderful Friday morning!!! I am leaving later today to go to the North Texas Shoebox Swap so I am up early packing and finishing up my card packets. I also have to water plants, go see my parents, go to the store......yikes!!! Where is my Fairy Godmother when I need her!! Anyway....I wanted to show you the card I made for the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast yesterday.

The challenge was to use something musical on our card. I used musical paper behind the birdcage, punched musical notes, and a sentiment that talks about a song. Rubbernecker's new Wild Garden Silhouette #539-04 was stamped on the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden dp as was the sentiment from RN's Fall Trilogy#480 set. Musical paper from 7 Gypsies Journey collection lines the KaiserCraft wood birdcage and I punched out some musical notes to float around like little butterflies. The seam binding, button, and twine finish it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker's Wild Garden Silhouette, Fall Trilogy
Paper: Soft Sky, Prism Tawny Dark, Pink Paislee dp, 7 Gypsies dp

I made this card last Monday for Splitcoast's TLC challenge. Holly's (Toy) challenge was to make faux buttons. I made my button from the butterfly stamp in the Friend of Mine set by The Craft's Meow.

Pearls, ribbon, lace, twine and stick pins finish it off.

TLC324 Colored Embossing

Hello everyone...it's my turn to host Splitcoast's Technique Lover's Challenge this week and my challenge comes to us thanks to Trish (TrishG). She made this gorgeous card with her technique called Colored Embossing!! It's pretty simple...all you have to do is use markers to color the inside of an embossing folder (the indented part)...when you run it through a Cuttlebug or other embossing machine the raised part is colored....how cool is that!!!

I used a small 2x2 folder and used Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive markers to color the indented part of the folder. Trish spritzed her's with water but I wanted to see what it looked like without the water. I did find that you will need to use a Q Tip or sponge to wipe off the ink that gets outside of the sunken part on the folder or it will ruin the design. I found that out after ruining a few practice rounds!!
The rosette was made from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush dp and the Tim Holtz rosette die. The flower and leaves were stamped on the same paper with Waltzingmouse's Sewing Box - Hugs set and layered with foam dots. Baker's twine and Candy Dots finish it off.


Thanks for visiting ...now, gather up those embossing folders and come join us in this weeks TLC challenge!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Hello everyone...hope you are all having a wonderful Mother's Day!!! Did you get breakfast in bed, a card, flowers....maybe it's dinner out today or a celebration with the kids. However you celebrate, I hope it's the best Mother's Day EVAH!!!
We went out to eat yesterday for my birthday so I think dinner out is kinda pushing it today...LOL!!! I will take my Mom to church this morning and have dinner at Mom and Dads...then it's home to stamp...Whoohoo!!!
Anyway...I stayed up late last night to finish this card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I got the Tim Holtz Rosette die and have been going rosette crazy!!! The sentiment is from WM's Asian Garden set and the paper is My Minds Eye Stella Rose...I LOOOVE that paper!!!

The bird image from Verve's Swan Song set was stamped on vanilla cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa and sponging was done while the image was still in the Nestie. Sewing was done around the background panels, a Spellbinders die was used for the scallop, and the Nestabilities Foliage die was used for the leaves.

Hello everyone....this has been a real crazy week for me... funerals, conferences, work, and we also added some new members to our little farm family. My DH bought me 24 little chicks...they are sooo cute!! The chicks are all black but I can't remember the name. He also ordered some Rhode Island Reds and some white chicks...they will be here in a few weeks. They are in a big plastic box in my parents shed right now....Mom and Dad are really enjoying watching them grow. George has to remodel the side of the small barn into a chicken coop before we can take them to their new home. We should have some eggs in about 6 months!!! Anyway....

I made this card for a church friend whe is having some complications with her chemo...I just wanted her to know I was thinking about her. I used stamps from an A Muse set called Life is a Story that I bought from a friend, Jenn Balcer, who has started to sell A Muse stamps.....check out her online site here. The birdcages, chain hangers, and the sentiment were all stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, and the birds were stamped with Marina Mist.
