Friday Favorites

Today is Friday Favorites and mine for this week is the Blendabilties. I have been using them a lot this week for my Christmas cards so it just seemed logical to share them with you. I need a few thank you cards for some of the members of our church who have been so generous and given us gifts over the Christmas season so I created this card to give. The Swallowtail Butterfly is great for coloring and I used the Calypso Coral Blendabilites and added a simple sentiment. I will add a thank you to the inside and a short note and the cards will be ready to give. Simple yet nice in this busy time of year. I hope you enjoy and will check out Kim's card too. Thanks! Tonya

December Blog Hop

Time for a little Christmas Blog Hop and today I have a card for you and a Tag with a Twist. It is also a gift card holder for a little extra special gift.

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 7 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Donna's Blog Organized Chaos. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

My first project is a card that uses the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies. I used Pool Party Card Stock with Lost Lagoon for the Brrr. The ink colors are the same and I stamped with the Endless Wishes Stamp Set. I added the In Color Sequins, Basic Rhinestones and Frosted Sequins to add a bit more sparkle to this card and if you are by chance the type of person who doesn't always get your Christmas Cards out on time you can send this in January and everyone will be thrilled to get it. 

My second project is this cute tag but it has a bit of a twist in that there is a Gift Card holder on the back. You can hang it on your tree or attach it to a gift for a little extra something. I used the Deco Label and Circle Framelits as well as the Bitty Banner Framelit Set. The Stamp Set is Festival of Trees and the Designer Series Paper is none other than the Motley Monsters. I added a Candy Dots Base Brad and a Basic Rhinestone to add a bit more sparkle. The Gift card Envelope was made with the Envelope Punch Board. I hope you enjoyed today's projects and that you leave a comment or two as you hop along. Thank and have a great day!

December Color Challenge

 

Hello and welcome to the December Color Challenge. Today I used the colors to make my youngest brother a birthday card. Shh, his birthday isn't until tomorrow but I am sure he will be keeping busy today since he and his wife will be having a baby sometime today.So while he is distracted let me give you the details on the card. Colors are Cherry Cobbler, Lost Lagoon, Basic Black, Stamp Sets are: Hardwood and Perfect Pennants, I used the Banner Framelits and the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack. Be sure and check out the other designers and if you would like to join our team of designers let us know. We are looking for people to join in the fun. Thanks and have a great day!

Quick and Easy Christmas

Today the design team is sharing Quick and Easy cards with you and what is easier than making your own designer paper with just a few ink pads and a stamp set. For my card I used the Endless Wishes Stamp Set and the following colors. Blackberry Bliss, Silver, Whisper White and Lost Lagoon. I used the Itty Bitty Banner Framelits, the Circle Framelits and just a bit of Silver Ribbon and this card is done. This would be ready to mass produce for your Family Christmas card and since it will be time to send them out soon I might want to think about getting mine started. I hope you have a great day, Tonya

So Full of gratitude

Hello and welcome to our November Blog Hop the them this month is Gratitude and while I may not have a lot of time to stamp with our busy schedule I do want to show my gratitude and thanks to my family during Thanksgiving so I made this simple but fun Thanksgiving card to share with you today. I wanted to use some of the items from the Holiday Catalog and that was my focus. The colors are Tango Twist, Crushed Curry, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.  Supplies are: Mingle All the Way Stamp Set, Fun Fall Framelits Dies, Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper, and Deco Labels Framelits. I used the Blendablities to color the button before adding it. I hope you enjoyed my card today and that even if you have a few minutes in a busy day I hope take the time to stamp and share with those you love.

November Sketch

Hello and welcome! Today is the November Card Sketch Challenge and even though it was a busy weekend I did have time to make a card for you today.

Friday Favorites

Hello and welcome to my Friday Favorites post. Today my favorite item is the Festival of Trees Bundle which includes the stamp set and coordinating punch. I love it when Stampin'Up! give us a punch to go with a stamp set and this one is perfect for Christmas cards. We recently did this card for a class and it was quick and easy to put together. The colors are Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White and Baked Brown Sugar. I used just a bit of twine and some Glimmer paper. This card would be great if you have a lot of them to make and not a lot of time. Let me know what you think as I would love to hear from you. Thanks! Tonya

Gentle Peace

Be sure and check out my blog post today over at SSINKspiration as I am the guest blogger. Thanks!

Other supplies include: Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Project Life Corner Punch, Whisper White Satin Ribbon, Pool Party Cotton Ribbon, Whisper White Bakers Twine, Basic Rhinestones, Whisper White Card Stock, and Pool Party Card Stock. I hope you check out the other ladies cards at the SSINKspiration Blog and leave them some love. Have a great day! Tonya

Halloween Tags, Bags and Boxes Oh, My

Hello and welcome to my Halloween Tags, Bags and Boxes blog post. I decided to make both a box and a tag.  I used the new Curvy Keepsake Box and paired it with the Fall Fest Stamp Set to make a cute little Jack-o-latern box for a few treats. For my second project I made a tag using the Mingle All the Way Stamp Set, Banner Framelits and the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper. I used the Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the stamp and the colors are Tangerine Tango and Basic Black. I hope you find some Inkspiration tonight and that you  check out the other tags, bags and boxes on the SSINKspiration Blog

Happy Halloween!

Hello and welcome. I have a quick card for you today that includes the TeeHeeHee and the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.Other supplies include the Scallop Trim Border Punch, Word Bubble Framelit, and the Circle Framelits. I am going to keep this short but be sure and check out the other Halloween cards on the SSINKspiration Blog. 

Happy Blendabilties

For my Blendabilties post today I used the Mingle All the Way Stamp Set. I used the Blendablities to color in the image and the pearls that I added to it. Blendablities are great for shading but they are also nice to add just a slight color variance when you are coloring. I used the various shades to add just a bit of variety to the image without worrying about matching. The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Espresso. I also used the new Filigree Frame Textured Impressions Folder and Gold Bakers Twine. The card is simple in layout but if you are making a large amount of these for your family card you might want them to be a bit easier. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will take a peak at the other cards on the SSINKspiration Blog.

Friday Favorites~Thankful

It is Friday Favorites Day over on the SSINKspiration Blog and one of the sets I knew I was going to have to buy is this set.. Seasonally Scattered Stamp Set. I love the look of the three stamps and decided to use the Thanks stamp first. I used the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack. This stack is definitely not just for Christmas, I love how the paper reminds me of a nice comfy sweater which is perfect for a fall day. I used Work of Art to make the color accents behind the heat embossed Thanks. It really helps make it pop and adds just the right amount of color. By adding just a bit of sponging the colors seem a bit more muted and the card is ready to send. I hope you enjoyed today's card and will stop by the blog and see what the other designers have to share today. Thanks and I hope you have a great weekend. Tonya

Friday Framelits

Friday Framelits is a great time to show case from some of our favorite framelits and today I have two to share with you. The Project Life Cards & Labels Set was used to make the tag and then the leaves are from the Flower Flair Framelit Set.  I used the new Gift Box Punch Board to make the box. This new punch board is easy to use and makes several sizes of boxes. I sponged polka dots using the Dots & Stripes Decorative Masks. Add a bit of ribbon and the box is ready for treats. What would you put inside? I haven't decided yet but I am sure it will be something yummy. Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out the other projects on the SSINKspiration blog. 

Who Loves a Punch Bundle?

Hello and welcome, I am sharing a birthday card for a special girl and I hope she doesn't see it before it arrives. The Design Team is featuring Punch Bundles and mine is the Label Love Stamp Set and Artisan Label Set. I also used Island Indigo Card Stock, Hello Honey Ink, Square Framelits, and the new Star Embossing Folder, Basic Black, Whisper White and Basic Gray Card Stock were also used on the card. The Design is simple but I wanted the Police Box to be the focus with the Happy Birthday as an accent. I hope you enjoy today's card and if you have any questions please let me know. Thanks, Tonya

Friday Favorites

We have had multiple weddings this summer and my go to favorite embossing folder is the new Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing folder. I have used it on almost every wedding card I have made since I bought it. I made this card for my cousin and his new bride and the colors are based off of their wedding invite. I used the blendabilities to color the ribbon. I used Coastal Cabana, Silver Card Stock, Whisper White and Night of Navy. I added just a few Basic Rhinestones to add just a bit of bling. Simple and elegant just like their wedding invite. 

Be Sure and check out the rest of the cards that the design team has to share with you today and thanks for stopping by, Tonya
