Friday Favorites

Friday Favorites is one of my favorites too because I love to see what the other designers are using and what they consider their favorite item. For this card it was tough to decide my favorite. I finally decided the new Party Punch Pack is but it is because it goes so well with the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Pack or then there is the Confetti Textured Impression Embossing Folder. The stamp set is from the Sale-a-bration set Perfect Pairings and can be yours free when you purchase $50. The colors for the card are taken straight from the Designer Series Paper Stack. Quick and Easy with only a bit of stamping. Just what I have time for right now. :-) Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions.

Quick and Easy

Today I am sharing a quick and each card for you. It is my Grandma's 86th Birthday card. The card just has a couple of colors and a few stamps and while it looks complicated with the texture and the cutout it really only took a couple of quick turns of the Big Shot. Supplies used were: Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Deco Label Collection Framelits, White Craft Ink, White Embossing Powder, Soft Sky Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Lost Lagoon Ink Pad, Crazy About You Stamp Set, and Remembering Your Birthday Stamp Set.

 

Thank You

Hello! I haven't been stamping much but a new year is bringing new plans and a fresh start at stamping and blogging. Today the team is sharing Thank you cards and mine is perfect for a Christmas thank you. I wanted something wintery looking and the Lost Lagoon and Soft Sky are a cool combo. I paired it with the Holly Jolly Greeting Stamp Set and the Another Thank you Stamp Set. You might be saying that the Holly Jolly Greeting Stamp Set is set to be unavailable soon but that isn't the case. Stampin'Up! has decided to carry them forward and you can still order this fun set after January 4. I used the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder and I cut the Thank you out with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits. I added just a bit of 1/8" Silver Ribbon. I hope enjoy today card and that you stop by again. The next card I post will be quick and easy. Until then Happy New Year!!!

Mystery Challenge

Actually this is a Mystery Supply Challenge. Each designer sent three items to another designer on the team and then we were to create a project with the supplies we were given. I took a picture of the supplies before I started and have included it below. They included a button in Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder 1" Dotted Lace Trim and Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack. I was able to add other supplies and since I need to make some happy mail to send off to my daughter I went with a donut fun theme. I didn't use any stamps.

Other supplies include: Bermuda Bay Card Stock, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Zig Zag Embossing Folder, Hello You Framelits, Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Banner Triple Punch, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Watermelon Wonder Ink Pad and Whisper White Baker's Twine. I hope you will take a moment to check out the other cards the team has made at SSINKspiration.

Bring on the Bling

Today we are sharing a little bling. I made this card for last weeks post but do to some computer issues I wasn't able to share it with you. I used the new Tin of Cards Project Kit. I love this kit and then I used the Remembering your Birthday Stamp Set. I changed up the design just a bit and decided to add a bit of sparkle on the butterflies with 2 way glue and Dazzling Diamonds. I have all ready given this card away or I would have added a bit more bling on each butterfly and on the Happy Birthday. I hope you enjoy today's card and now that I have a computer again I hope to get back into the posting and sharing of projects. Thanks!

Tags

Today the design team is featuring tags and I decided to join them with a fun Birthday tag. I used the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and four different punches to create this tag. The colors are from the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack which is a new 6x6 size. I love the new 1" Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder and can't wait to get some of the other colors. The punches I used are the new Banner Triple punch, Scalloped Tag Topper, Tree Builder Punch and the Washi Label punch that I just got this last week. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

June Card Sketch

This month I decided to take part in the SSINKspiration Card Sketch. I decided to use the Butterflies Thinlits since I haven't played with them much. The colors are Watermelon Wonder, Crumb Cake, Soft Sky and Whisper white. I used Watercolor paper to cut out the butterfly then added color with an Aquapainter. The sentiment is from the Crazy about You Stamp Set. I added some bling and the card is done. Quick and simple yet pretty. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Banner Punch

Today's card features I lot of new products but we are focusing on the new Banner Punch. I love how easy it is to layer and use it for different sizes of paper. The other supplies include: Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set, Tree Builder Punch, Early Espresso Ink and Card Stock, Mint Macaron Ink and Card Stock, Tip Top Taupe Ink and Card Stock, Watermelon Wonder Ink and Card Stock and So Saffron Ink and Card Stock. Be sure and check out the other card on the team blog and thanks for stopping by.
