Eeek!...a matching envelope!

Hi there! Just popping in really quickly to share a card and matching envelope I created for the most recent challenge at Young Crafters Unite!

I rarely create a coordinating envelope for my cards, but this challenge really got me excited about the idea again!!! It's such an easy thing to do and it adds that extra little something special to a project!!! FUN!

We have a few "bat friends" who like to fly in figure 8 patterns just beyond our back deck each night right around dusk. It's fun to watch them dive after flying insects and listen to their little "eeeks"! So, this card was inspired by them! I drew the eeek trail with a black Copic Multiliner pen. That idea was inspired by THIS card by Chari where she made a heart-shaped trail (THANKS, Chari!!!).

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a FABULOUS weekend!

Party Invitations

Hey there! My friend's little guy is turning two in October, and she asked me to make the invitations for his birthday party! They're having the party at a farm/orchard with lots of super fun activities including a hay bale maze, tractor-pulled wagon rides, apple picking, visits with the farm animals, etc.

Here's the final product:

I used LOTS of ADORABLE DeNami Design stamps (see supply list at the end of this post) to create the little scene and used Harold's ABCs from Lawn Fawn to stamp out the animal sounds! As you can see, the outside says, "oink, baa, neigh, moo" and on the inside it says, "Jonathan is turning TWO!" followed by all of the party details! Just a FUN little rhyme I made up especially for Jonathan!

I stamped the barns once on each invitation itself and again on a separate sheet of white cardstock. I colored the barns on the separate sheet, cut them out, cut/scored the barn doors and then adhered them over the barn images stamped on the invitations. This way, the door on the barn opens to reveal a little sheep hiding in there!

I made 16 of these, and it was a total blast!!! My friend is absolutely thrilled with the invitations, and I hope you like them too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Tulips

I'm back with a second post today to share a card I made for my friend's birthday! I used this GORGEOUS color story from the Play Date Cafe Challenge:

...and this AWESOME sketch from Card Patterns Sketch Challenge:

Here's my creation:

When I was at Archivers yesterday having a FABULOUS time getting inky with my sweet friends, Michele and Laura, I saw these patterned papers and couldn't resist buying them!! They're from the new Lost and Found Two: Rosy collection! LOVE them!!! And since my friend's favorite flowers are tulips, I thought this Brushed Tulips image from DeNami was a perfect choice for the focal point. I don't have a coral marker, so I paper pieced the tulips with Desert Coral cardstock (Bazzill Basics) and used that same color for my scallops too! Here's a closer look:

I stamped the sentiment inside the card this time around! I just LOVE this whimsical font!

Well...that's it for me...for today at least! HA! Hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!!

Baby Girl

Hi there! My cousin is expecting her first baby (a girl) in early November. My mom, my SIL and I pitched in for her shower gift---the bedding for the baby's crib, which I then used as inspiration for the card that will accompany the gift.

Here's a photo of the bedding:

Photo from Babies R Us website.

And here's my creation:

I embossed the Large Daisy Blossom on vellum to try to capture the look of the embroidered flowers on the sheer overlay. I also scored vertical lines in the bottom panel (although it doesn't show up in the photo at all) to represent the crinkly layer under the embroidered overlay. I think the chocolate brown, baby pink, and white color combo is really sweet for a baby girl. And the Leafy Vine image on the top panel is a pretty close match to the leaves on the bed sheets.

I hope you like my creation for today!

DeNami Product Spotlight

Hi there! It's Product Spotlight Day at DeNami Design, and today (just in time for Mother's Day) we're featuring this elegant "Mother" stamp!

Now, I have to say right away that this card is SO PRETTY in person, but I was really unhappy with the way it photographed. I think it's the glitter that makes it a bit tricky. If anyone has any tips they'd be willing to pass along for photographing cards with glitter, I'd be really grateful!

I used a glue pad to stamp the Swirl onto a Charcoal Gray panel and then added Extra Fine Glitter. "Mother" is heat embossed in Powder Blue Zing! And the Charcoal panels are matted in shimmery Iridescent Blue Ice Cardstock---LOTS of sparkle in person!!!  

I hope you like my card for today and feel inspired to get inky! For some more FANTASTIC ideas head on over to the DeNami Design Blog and check out what the rest of the DT gals and our Guest Designer have created!!! WOWZERS! You will NOT be disappointed!

Have a GREAT day!

Yellow

Hi there! The most recent One Layer Wednesday Challenge is to use YELLOW! Here's what I came up with:

That's the new little Giraffe E140 from DeNami Design! Isn't he ADORABLE?!?! I masked him off and then stamped the Polka Dot Background N133 in Thatched Straw VersaMagic---I'm totally in love with this ink color these days!!

I used my Martha Stewart Scoring Board to score the lines above and below the Small Baby Script E68 (DeNami Design). I really like how it adds a clean and finished look to the overall design.

I embossed just the bottom portion of the card. I recently saw Christina MacLaren do this on a set of thank you cards she made, and I really liked the effect. So, I thought I'd give it a try! (Thanks for the inspiration, Christina!)

That's all for today! Hop on over to Susan's blog, Simplicity by Late Blossom, to find out how you can play along in this challenge and to see all of the amazing cards the other participants have created!

Mini Sports Blog Hop

Hey there! Today is a super fun day because I'm participating in a mini blog hop with my sweet blog friends Brandi, Karen, Lynnette, and Kelly Marie!!! We are all HUGE sports fans and decided it would be fun to create a card/project inspired by our favorite sports teams! 

As most of you already know I grew up in Pittsburgh and as a result I absolutely LOVE the Pittsburgh Steelers!!! When the Steelers are playing, we break out our black and gold Terrible Towels and make a lot of noise (our poor cat hides under the bed)! Here's the Steelers' logo (from Steelers.com):

  

And here's the card I made using the logo/team colors as inspiration:

I used some of the sets I won from the Schlosser Designs blog hop. YAY! I stamped my own background using one of the images from "Build a Border" (Schlosser Designs)---isn't it pretty much a perfect match to the designs on the Steelers logo? Love it!

They say "Yinzers" (AKA: people from Pittsburgh) bleed black and gold, and it's true! I don't know if there's a city more dedicated to their football team. And no matter where in the world we live now or in the future, we will always be Steeler fans!

Your next stop is Lynnette's fabulous blog, Netter's Notables!!! Hope you enjoy the hop!!!

Thanks For Everything

Hello there! This is a card I created using the ultra yummy color combo from the latest Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge and an amazing sketch from Taylored Expressions!

Here's the color combo:

And here's the sketch:

I created the background by repeatedly stamping the large and small violets from "Year of Flowers: Violets" (Papertrey Ink). Then I stamped the large violet on a scrap piece of cardstock, cut out its center, and attached it to the background with three french knots.

I used my Scor-Pal to score a border around the sentiment to give it a more finished look.

So...what do you think?

I also wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your super sweet comments on the card I made for DeNami Design's Autumn Blog Hop! I truly appreciate it and promise to visit your blogs soon!

Embellish Magazine Background Stamping Color Challenge

Hey there! The most recent Embellish Magazine Challenge is to use background stamping and the colors black, white, gray & yellow. I LOVE this color combo!!!

Here's what I came up with:

I repeatedly stamped the circle background builder from "For the Love of Dots" (Practicing Creativity Designs) and then colored a pattern using my Copic Sketch Markers. The ribbon is from American Crafts. I kind of scrunched it up on the ends to make it thinner and to make the one flower stand out.

If you look closely within the circles you can see some metallic accents that I added. Those are "Nailheads" (Mark Richards). Pretty cool, huh? Here's a close-up:

The sentiment is from "Signature Greetings" (Papertrey Ink).

Hope you like my creation for today! Thanks for stopping by!

Jazzy Paper Designs Inspiration Challenge #8

Today is such an exciting day for me!!! Why? Because I'm the Jazz Cat of the Week over at Jazzy Paper Designs! YAY! This is my first time as a Guest Designer, and I couldn't be more thrilled!!! Tenia hosts really fabulous inspiration challenges based on album covers---WAY COOL! Click HERE for all of the deets and to see the incredible cards created by the DT!!!

Here's the inspiration photo:

And here's my take on it:

The lines on the left side of the inspiration photo reminded me of the lines on a hot air balloon. And the lines on the right made me think of banners. So, I immediately thought of "Look Up!" by Practicing Creativity!

I embossed the two hot air balloons on the left side of the card using Zing! Embossing Powder (American Crafts). I stamped the third hot air balloon on "Lemon Bliss" (Bazzill Basics) cardstock. Then I toned it down a bit by coloring parts of it with my black Copic Sketch Marker. Afterwards I still felt like it was a bit too much yellow, so I paper pieced some teal cardstock in there.

What do you think?

What do you "see" when you look at the inspiration photo? I'd love to see what it inspires you to create!!! So, hop over to Jazzy Paper Designs, check out the deets of the challenge, and GET INKY!!!! Enjoy!

Cute Little Onesie

Hello there! Just wanted to show you a cute little baby card I created recently for a friend!

I created that chic little baby outfit by stamping the "Folding Onesie" image (TooMuchFun Rubber Stamps) onto double-sided patterned paper (Bo Bunny), cutting it out, and folding it. Then, I stamped the bib (TooMuchFun Rubber Stamps) onto different patterned paper (Bo Bunny), cut it out, and adhered it to the onesie. Then I added those teeny tiny buttons at the bottom. This was so much fun to make!!! Imagine how many outfits you could make using different combinations of all of the fabulous patterned paper that's on the market today!! Wow!

The other really cool part about this onesie is that you can open it up and write in it or put a gift card in there!!! The onesie could even stand alone as a card or be used as a tag on a gift bag! I LOVE IT!!! (Now for a confession...I've had this stamp in my stash since the Rubber Stamp Expo last August, and this is the first time I've inked it up. Oh goodness. Have you ever done that---accumulated so many products that some of them go unused for months on end?)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a GREAT week!

Laura's Sketch #47

Hey there! Here's a card I created using Laura's Sketch at "2 Sketches 4 You" and the stamp set "Look Up!" from Practicing Creativity! I received this set in the mail a few day ago and was so excited to finally have a chance to get it inky!! Although, I have to admit---I'm hooked now and totally plan to create some more with this set as soon as I have a chance!

Today is the perfect day for this card! The sun is shining and the sky is an amazing shade of blue here in the mountains of Colorado! Speaking of skies. I created the sky on this card using the funky shape that's included in the "Look Up!" set. I inked one of the scalloped ends of the shape and masked off the rest. Then, I stamped the inky end randomly throughout the circle and the circle frame. This created some "cloud tops." Then, I took a sponge and dabbed the ink all around to fill in the remainder of the sky. I LOVE how it turned out!!! Here's a close-up:

I popped the circle frame and the balloon up with Pop Dots, so that the balloon would look like it was floating!

I love how the sentiments in this set can be curved!! That's how I fit the sentiment onto the strip at the top of the balloon! It was really simple!!

Well, I hope this card makes you smile, and I hope you're having a FANTASTIC FRIDAY!!!! I'm off to bake a birthday cake for my sweet friend, Rosemarie!!!!

Kazan's Sketch #47

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a card I created using Kazan's Sketch #47 over at 2 Sketches 4 You. Click HERE to see the original sketch and lots of wonderful creations from the DT and the challenge participants. If you're ever in a creative slump and need some inspiration, this sketch challenge is a fabulous place to start! And...this week is extra special because DeNami Design is the sponsor and is offering up a super sweet prize! I LOVE their products!!!

I stamped my little Leafy Sprig (DeNami Design) a bunch of times in VersaMark ink and then heat embossed them with "Powder" Zing! Embossing Powder (American Crafts). I heat embossed the Dots (Endless Creations) and the Demi Double Circle (DeNami Design) with "White" Zing! Embossing Powder. The white and aqua papers are metallic cardstock (The Paper Company), so they have lots of shimmer to them.
