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

Christmas Card Fun

I know for some of you it is still time for Fall and Halloween Cards but the design team is already thinking about Christmas. I had a card class last month that was just for Christmas cards and this is one of the cards we did. I used a combination of two embossing powders to make the Merry extra sparkly which is from the Seasonally Scattered Stamp Set. The snowflakes are from the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies. 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

Pumpkin Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our October Blog Hop. Our theme for this month is Pumpkins. I used the Fall Fest Stamp Set and the coordinating Fun Fall Framelits Dies. The colors are taken from the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper and are Sahara Sand, Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango with just a bit of Chocolate Chip too. I stamped the sentiment with the Good Greetings Stamp set which is only available to Hostess for a limited time. The sentiment is cut out with the banner framelit from the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies. I added a Candy Dot and just a bit of Twine to act as the dried vines on the pumpkins.

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
