Mosaic Madness

Welcome back! It is Monday and time for a new card. This one is similar to one I made last week and actually this is the first of the two that I made. We made this card at my Hostess Night that was held that last of May. The colors are Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Slush and Whisper White. The stamp sets are Mosaic Madness and Really Good Greetings which are both new in this catalog. I just couldn't resist using the Mosaic Punch and Coordinating Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. The Designer Series Paper is the new Quatrefancy Specialty Paper. I felt like it need just a bit of dimension so I added a Circle of Strawberry Slush Card Stock behind the Vintage Faceted Designer Button and topped it off with a knotted 1/4" Whisper White Stitched Ribbon.
This week is blog hop week so I am busy creating new cards to share with you. In fact I have made 4 new cards in the last couple of days so be sure and stop by Thursday to see what I have to share. I won't make you wait that long however and will be posting tomorrow also. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Tonya

Bordering On Romance is going soon....

Good morning and welcome back! I haven't been very good about posting but good news I have four new cards to share with you over the next few days. Some have a bit of the retiring items while one has new colors. Today I have a card I made this weekend that uses the soon to be retired Bordering on Romance Stamp Set. This set is so much fun to watercolor and I did just that with our ink pads and Aquapainter. I used soon to be retiring colors on this card and stamped the flowers twice. I cut out the blue flowers and added them with Dimensionals, SNAIL and Glue Dots so that each has a different height. The colors are Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. The bottom of the card was cut with the Adorning Accents Edgelits after the Baja Breeze Card Stock was added to the Whisper White base. I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits to make the Pretty in Pink piece behind my main image. The flowers were punched out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch and I finished off the card with a 5/8" Organza Ribbon Bow and a few Basic Pearl Accents. I left a sentiment off the card so I could use it for any occasion such as a quick note of thanks or maybe a Birthday. Don't hesitate to order your Bordering on Romance Stamp Set as I don't want you to miss the opportunity to own this beautiful set. Tomorrow I will have another quick and easy card to share with you that uses two retiring stamp sets until then have a great day and Thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Happy Birthday Quilt

Good morning! We have yet another snow day for the kids. At this rate they will be in school until June. Oh, well better to be safe than sorry and since it is still snowing home is fine by me. Today I have a fun Birthday card that I decided to make last week after all of our other cards were made. I love the Quilt idea and I had just used the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper on this  All Dressed UP card. So it seemed like a good combo for this Birthday Card. The stamp set is from the Best of Birthdays Stamp Set that is part of the 25th Anniversary Collection. I used a card base of Basic Gray and added some texture with the Sqaure Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The quilt panel was made much like yesterday's in that I started with a piece of Whisper White Card Stock and 1" Square Punch. Since I was setting my square on an angle I scored a light line down the center of the card stock so help me line up my squares. After I attached the squares I ran the panel through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I added Island Indigo Card Stock that had been punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch along both the top and bottom of the panel and attached some scrunched Baja Breeze Seam Binding before attaching it to the front of my card. The sentiment was stamped twice once with Basic Gray and once with Island Indigo. I punced out the Basic Gray sentiment with the Extra Large Oval Punch and hand cut out the Birthday to add with Dimensionals to the Basic Gray. I added it to the card with more Dimensionals then added the cute little dyed flower from the 5/8" Flower Trim. Now I just need to Birthday person to send it to. Since we are home bound today I am hoping to start on my Blog Hop projects to next week. It would be nice to be a head of schedule instead of rushing all the time. Maybe these last few snow days have been our catch up time and our chance to slow down for a while. I hope you are warm and dry where ever you are. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Vintage Print Quilt

Happy Tuesday! I will be back later with another post that includes today's new Digital Downloads. There are two free downloads today so be sure and check back to see those. While I watch the snow pile up outside I wanted to share with you this card we made last week. I haven't used the Quilting Technique lately and I decied to share it with the ladies that came last week. This is a great technique to use up smaller pieces of Designer paper. For this card we used the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack. I love the colors in it which are Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Primrose Petal and Gumball Green. The base of the card is Crumb Cake and the frame is Primrose Petal. For the sentiment we used the Vintage Verses Stamp Set which is  a Sale-a-bration option andn stamped it in Early Espresso. To make the quilt we simply punched out 1" Squares with the 1" Square Punch and attached them to a piece of 4x4" piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock. To make the piece look more quilted we ran it through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan Folder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. We added Crumb Cake Seam Binding to finish off the quilt before attaching it to the card front. This technique works great on all types of cards depending of the Designer Paper you use and with our punches you can do so many different patterns and designs. I am going to share another quilt card with you tomorrow that was inspired by a couple of my recent projects. Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know if you would like to make your own quilt card and I will be happy to help you get the supplies or we can schedule a workshop and I can show you and your guests how to make one.. Stay warm! Tonya

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day and Thanks for stopping by! I am busy today preparing a Valentine's
Day Dinner for my family that has me making a heart shape cakes per my youngest son's request sort of a deal I made with him and he held up his end of the bargain so so am I. :-) Tuesday I had a class at our local library and this is one of the items we made. I just love the Candy Wrapper Die and since is cuts and scores all at once it really makes life easy. In addition we used the new More Amore Speciality Designer Series Paper to wrap around the container. The heart is made with the Primrose Petals Core'dinations Card Stock  and was cut out with the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits and then sanded.  A Basic Gray banner was made with the Big Shot and Bitty Banners Framelits which goes great with the Word Window Punch and the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set. So add just a few extra details to the candy wrapper we added Very Vanilla Seam Binding on each end to close our wrapper and one of the new Vanilla 5/8" Flower Trim Flowers was added. I love these little flowers and will have a card to share with you tomorrow that has a flower that I colored with our Aquapainter and Stamp Pads. Funny story, while I was handing the flowers out at the library I managed to drop one in a cup of coffee that belongs to an attendee. After I fished it out I joked about how we could die them with coffee which of course you could. There are a lot of possiblities for these cute little flowers and I hope we see them carry over after the Spring Catalog has ended.
Well, I am off to decorate a cake and a few cupcakes too. Have a wonderful day! Tonya

Valentine's Day Chalk Board

Happy Wednesday! Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I will be mailing this card are soon. It is actually one that we made a Shirlene's Workshop a few weeks ago. She had requested Valentine's and I was happy to help her with that. The card features the new Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set and matching framelits. The colors are Primrose Petal, Basic Black, Whisper White, Real Red and Pool Party. The ink colors are the same and I added Whisper White Craft ink to make the chalk board effect on the Basic Black card stock. The sentiment is from the Wacky Wishes Stamp Set and is available for anyone that host a workshop. Did you know that Sale-a-bration is a great time to host? I will tell you more about why in a bit. Other supplies include the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set and the Bitty Banners Framelits (which is a Sale-a-bration option), Pool Party Baker's Twine, and the Bitty Buttons. Just use a few dimensionals and your card is ready to go. The inside is also decorated with hearts on the Whisper White Card Stock that I added inside but I forgot to get a picture of it. :-(
Now back to why it is a great time to host a workshop. Usually for a $400 workshop you would receive $65 worth of free merchandise and one other item at half price (which is great) but during Sale-a-bration you would get  those items plus a package of Silver Glimmer Paper and the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper,, Madison Avenue Stamp Set in either Clear or wood mount, and the Sycamore Street Ribbon And Button Pack. Wow that is a lot of free products just for having a few friends and family over for a fun evening/afternoon of stamping. Contact me if you want the opportunity to have fun and earn free items.
Well, I must get busy. My boys decided on the way to school today that they want to make Valentine's day treats for their friends so I need to get busy cutting out boxes. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

They are pulled from the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper and are Sahara Sand, Tangerine Tango, Pool Party and Island Indigo.

What a great Sale-a-bration option. The Stamp Set is also free with a $50 order and is Patterned Occasions. The other supplies are Stampin Write Markers to ink up the image, Whisper White Card Stock, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

Warmest Wishes

Tomorrow is a special day, my grandma celebrates her birthday and of course she needs a special card. I made this one this week for her and I hope she likes it. The stamp set is Blooming with Kindness and I paired it with Rich Razzleberry, Pretty in Pink and Early Espresso with Whisper white for the stamped images. I used two Big shot items for this card. I used the Labels Collection Framelits to cut out the flower image and the mat behind it and then I added texture to the Pretty in Pink layer with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Embossing Folder that carried over from the Holiday Mini. I sponged the embossed areas to give it more depth then added Pearls to the corner. To finish up the card I added a Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons with Early Espresso Baker's Twine. Thanks for stopping by today and please check out the other posts that I have added about the updates from Stampin'UP!.  Have great day, Tonya

Frosty Friends

Good morning! It is feeling a little chilly out this morning but not quite cold enough for these little Frosty Friends. We made this card last week at Stamp Club and it is such a hit in our family that we maybe using it as one of our personal Christmas Cards. The layout is cased from the Holiday Catalog with a few changes here and there. The base is Cherry Cobbler with texture added with the Snow Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used Shimmer Paint in Frost White and Rubbing Alcohol to give the base just a bit of shimmer and sparkle. The Designer Paper is the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Pack. If you haven't checked this paper pack out you are missing a great group of designer papers. I really like them and you get four of each design which is great for your card making. We added Pool Party Baker's Twine around the card and added a bow to the side before adding our main image. The Frosty Friends and the Merry Christmas which is from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set were stamped on Whisper White Card Stock with Jet Black Stazon. The image was cut out with the Big Shot and the Apothecary Accents Framelits and then colored with a Blender Pen and the following Ink colors: Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. I hope you enjoyed today's card.
Just a reminder that the Online Extravaganza is still going on and you can place your orders either online or by calling or emailing me. Also the Starter Kit promotion continues until December 16 if you are interested in becoming a Demonstrator whether it be for extra cash or just for a discount on our great products.

What I am grateful for.. Blog Hop




  Hello and welcome to our November Blog Hop. This month our theme is I am grateful for. My thought first went to Thanksgiving and the fact that I am thankful that we still get most of my mom's family together every year for dinner and family time. As we all get older and add more family to the mix it gets more challenging but it is such a great way to reconnect and of course eat!

My has lots of texture with the embossing folders and of coures the leaves. My supplies include: Saraha Sand, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, More Mustard, Cajan Craze, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla Card Stock. Early Espresso Classic Ink was used with the Teeny Tiny Wishes and Wonderfall Stamp Sets. I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Die to cut out the leaves before stamping them. The Ribbon Slide has a strip of the Early Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock through it that has has texture added by running it through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Don't forget the First Edition Speciality Paper, the Word Window Punch, the Modern Label Punch, the Scallop Edge Border Punch and the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to finish off the supply list.
My next card uses some of the same colors as the above card but the look is different because of the technique that I used. I love the sentiment on my second card it is from the Trust God Stamp Set. I am so thankful for God's grace and understanding. I paired the sentiment with the Gently Falling Stamp Set which is one of my favorite fall sets. The colors are Old Olive, Cajan Craze, Soft Suede and More Mustard. For card stock I used Cajan Craze, More Mustard, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Watercolor Paper. I started this card by spritzing the Watercolor Paper with water until it was wet, I then stamped my images and let the paper dry. I wanted my images to be a bit more blurred so I used my Aquapainter and randomly added water drops through out, then I used the Spritzing Tool and adding Early Espresso and Soft Suede across the card front. I used Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon on the card as well as Basic Pearls. I used two punches the Scallop Trim Border Punch and the Curly Label Punch which was layered on a tag from the Lots of Tags Sizzlits.

My final two cards are part of our Hostess Gift Challenge. As demonstrators we are always thankful for our wonderful customers and our hostesses are the best. You help keep our business growing and we can't do it without you. So as part of the challenge I thought I would make some cards that I could give my hostesses just to let them know how special they are. Now mine have sentiments on them for when I give them I will make several of each card and then make the sentiments into card candy so they are customize each card with the sentiment that best suites their occasion. I have wanted the Blooming with Kindness Stamp Set since the catalog came out and during the recent sale I just couldn't resist buying it. I love the sentiments with it too!
The first card has a base of Soft Suede with Cajan Craze, Summer Starfruit and Very Vanilla Card Stock too. I used the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper. To ink up the image I used the Stampin' Write Markers in Summer Starfruit, Soft Suede and Cajan Craze. There are three punches used on the card: the Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. With a little Twine and some texture from the Vintage Wallpaper folder this card is ready to go.



The second card uses the same texture just with a Pool Party base that has been sponged around the edges with Soft Suede. I stuck to just Pool Party, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla for this card. I used the Rock and Roll technique to ink up the flower. The 1 1/4" Circle Punch is the perfect size for the Thank you sentiment and I rounded the corners of the left side with the 3/16" Corner rounder and this card is ready for a special person.
I hope you enjoyed today's cards. I am glad you stopped by. If you have a extra moment please leave me a comment and let me know which card  you liked best. As always have a great day and don't forget to head over to Dawn's Blog and see what she have to share with you today. Thanks again, Tonya

Ornament Tags

 
 
I love the Big Shot and all the wonderful things it can do. One of my favorites is cutting through metal. Yesterday I was playing around and came up with these two ornaments that you can use for tags on a gift and can still be used later. All  you need to do is use a permenant marker to write a message or even the year and they are ready to go. For both I used metal flashing that you can find at your local home improvement store, the Big Shot, the larger of the Scallop Squares from the Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die, embossing folders I used both the Delicate Designs Folder and the Northern Flurry Folder, Basic Rhinestones that have been colored with a permanant marker and ribbon. In my case I used retired ribbon since I am working on these for a craft show I am doing in December. I made a larger one also but I will share that another day.
If you would like more information about the Big Shot and all that  you can do with it please give me a call and we can schedule a private class for you and a few friends. It really is an amazing tool that will change how you craft and did you know you can get the Big Shot and $25 worth of dies for just $99. Give me a call and I will tell you how.  Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend, Tonya

Three Little Gingerbread Men

Hello! So glad you stopped by today and I am excited to have a new Christmas card to share with you. I had a Christmas Card Class and this is one of the cards we made. I love the cute little gingerbread men and they have a framelit to match which means no fussy cutting. We used two stamp sets on this card, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Scentsational Seasons which you can get either by itself or in the bundle with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies which I recommend because you not only save money. Only two ink pads are needed for this card Eary Espresso and Gumball Green and the card stock is Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Gumball Green with a little bit of Be A Good Cheer Designer Series Paper. The Decorative Label Punch was used to punch out the sentiment. The texture along the bottom was added with the Big shot and Delicate Designs Folder and then we used the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die to create the scallop piece in Gumball Green. Please let me know if you would like to make this card and I will be happy to set up a private class. You can also use the candy cane or tree from the same set and make similar cards. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Christmas Keepsake Ornament

Good morning, well I have been trying to stamp but just haven't been completing many cards this week. Lots of ideas but thus far they are just pictures on paper. Instead I thought I would share another ornament made with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies and the Be a Good Cheer Designer Series Paper. I also added the Cherry Faceted Designer Series Button and a Large Pearl Basic Jewel. The Rosette in the middle is made with the Simple Scored Scoring Tool and the Scallop Trim Border Punch. To add just a bit of glimmer and sparkle I spritzed it with Frost White Shimmer Paint mixed with Rubbing Alcohol. We will be making an ornament like this in my upcoming Ornament Class in November. Please check the calendar for more info. Mean while I am off to try and finish a card or two today. Wish me luck and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Season Greetings Catalog Case

This last few weeks I have been working on Christmas Cards and while flipping through the catalog I noticed the card on page 18 that used the Snow Swirled Stamp Set and decided to case it. I changed up the colors but the rest is the same or at least as much as I could tell from the picture. I used Baja Breeze, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. There is a lot of bling on this card with Basic Rhinestones on each snowflake and the glittery edge made with Sticky Strip and Dazzling Diamonds. The sentiment is punched out with the Extra Large Oval Punch and then the banner is made with the Bitty Banners Framelits and cut in half. Can you see the texture behind the sentiment? That was made with the Designer Frames Folders. There are two shapes to this set the oval and the rectangle that I used on the Cherry Christmas Tree Card.  After making the card I however decided it wasn't quite right for my Christmas Card Classes. If you would like to make this card let me know and I would be happy to help you place an order for the supplies. I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Lucky Limeade Christmas Card

Hello, what a wishy washy day we are having. The sun can't decide if it wants to shine or not and while that makes it not a great day to take pictures it does make it a great day to stay in and stamp. I hope to do some of that later this afternoon. In the mean time I have a card to share with you that will be included in next weeks Christmas Card Class. I cased the layout from an old swap card I recently came across but there was no name on the back. The Snow Swirled stamp set is an older one but one that I still enjoy using. I used Lucky Limeade for the base and added snow flakes with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad. The sentiment is stamped with Early Espresso and the tree is stamped with Lucky Limeade before I added some bling with the Rhinestone Basic Jewels that I colored with a marker. I used the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and the tree is on a Early Espresso Tag made from the Two Tags Bigz Die. If you would like to make this card please contact me and let me know and I will add you to the Class next week. Thanks for stopping by and I am off to stamp. Have a great day, Tonya

Cheerful Christmas Tree

Hello, the week is flying by as usual and I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. Sorry about that, but I do have a card to share with you today. This card is full of details and is one that we made last week at club. I am also going to be doing a similiar layout at next weeks Christmas card class. The colors are Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Primrose Petals, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake. The Designer Series paper is Be a Good Cheer it is a fun paper that I have enjoyed using on several projects. The stamp set is Scentsational Season which I purchases in the Scentsational Season Bundle with the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. There are several other Big Shot dies including the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die, and the Designer Frames Folders. To add just a bit of sparkle to the Christmas Tree I used Silver Glimmer Paper and the Ribbon is the 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.
If you would like to attend the Christmas Card Class next week please let me know by Thursday so I can have your cards cut and ready for you. I will be posting a few pictures tomorrow of the cards. Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening, Tonya
