Be Mine for SP and Company Stamps

2012-01-27T08:38:00.003-07:00

Good morning to everyone! I must apologize for this post not being published earlier but blogger was not co-operating with me yesterday night. Sure glad it is working this morning for me...LOL.

Today, I am very excited to share the Artsy Heartsy Stamp Set from SP and Company Stamps. I used several different hearts and one of the sentiments from this stamp set. It is super fun to work with and has several stamps on a 4x6 acetate sheet.

Here is my creation. Cherry Cobbler seam binding was used, cherry cobbler ink, pretty in pink ink, whisper white and pretty pink and a cuttlebug embossing folder.

My color combo came from this wonderful inspirational picture from The Pink Elephant. Who doesn't love the romance of this picture, the colors red, pink and white.

Creative Card Crews challenge is seeing Red and I must say I love red. Make It Monday is a great place to you share your work and see other creations it is Anything Goes.

I hope that you have enjoyed looking at the card that has been made with some of the stamps from this stamp set. To see other amazing stamps from SP and Company Stamps on the highlight name and enjoy what you see.

Thanks for stopping in and sharing today with me.

Let's Get Pinned

2012-01-26T13:13:00.005-07:00

Good afternoon. Sorry my post is so late. Since Monday my life has been in a total whirl wind and completely stressful dealing with family issues and school. I am surprised at how fast January has gone....maybe that could be a good thing...LOL.

Enough about me. Today my post is for 4 Crafty Chicks. Just have to say we had such amazing creations last week. Thank you please keep bringing it, it is totally inspiring us too. Our beautiful hostess with the mostess this week is Lori and Leanne is offering up the yummy prize for the last week of the month. Lori has come up with what I think is a rockin' challenge.

CHALLENGE #74 - PIN'S!!

Stick pins, safety pins, push pins etc...

For my card the pin I used was made and given to me at Christmas time by my lovely friend Leanne. Isn't she talented? I sure think so! The sentiment Be Mine is from Artsy Heartsy Stamp Set from SP and Company Stamps. Aren't the seals too cute! I love them. As I am typing this for the life of me I can't remember where it is from. I will update it as soon as I find out *sorry about that*. I used Cherry Cobbler paper and seam binding. Pretty in pink paper and Basic Grey, two circle punches, punch (all from Stampin Up), pearls, Pin from Leanne, copic's, Cuttlebug embossing folder and pop up's. It was a lot of fun to do this.

The inspiration of color and romance for my card I found over at The Pink Elephant from this great inspiration picture. Also Creative Card Crew's challenge is Seeing Red. I love sharing my project on Make It Monday - Anything goes.

Oh my fellow chicks Lori, Leanne and Melissa have some massive inspiration for us. Please hop on over and share some love with them, then I hope you can take some time to come and play with us at 4 Crafty Chicks. We love seeing all of your master pieces.

Thanks for stopping bye to share in my work and for all comments. To my wonderful followers a HUGE THANK YOU!

smile at someone today, you just might make someone's day just a little brighter. Here is my smile to you :)

Mixing Embossing Powders and Glitter

2012-01-20T22:00:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone! Today is an exciting day for me. It is my first post on the SP Stamps Blog and boy am I ever excited and a little nervous. This is my first ever tutorial. It is going to be so much fun sharing it on here with you too!

So what SP and Company Stamps did I use for my project? Well I used the Ornamental Trees and Awareness is Empowering. Two sets of stamps that were awesome to work with and super fun to get inky :)

The items I used for this project are: boning tool, scissors,tweezers, paper cutter, crafting knife, paper (black, gold, pink, whisper white), embossing powder (black, gold, clear), pink glitter, glue, heat gun, pearls, cuttlebug embossing folders, 4 punches, memento ink, versa mark, SP and Company stamps, and stamp block.

I started to emboss with Ornamental Trees. Versa Mark was used to stamp the triangles. Two embossing powders were used Gold and Black (mixed the two together, poured over the Vera Mark and then heat embossed). When you are done cut the triangles out.

the picture below shows you how the gold and black mixed together bring a marbling effect to the triangles.

Next I mixed pink glitter with clear embossing powder. The stamp set I used Awareness is Empowering. The ribbon stamp was then stamped with Versa Mark, poured the mixed glitter and embossing powder over it and then heat embossed. Next was to use my little cutting tool to cut it out, it is neat because it swivels.

a little closer look. You can also see that I used a cuttlebug folder to add some texture to the card.

The sentiment is also from Awareness is Empowering. This was stamped with black Memento Ink. A dauber with pink ink was used to distress around it. Also I used another cuttlebug embossing folder to give a little dimension.

The scallop border punch and pearls helped to separate both sides of the card. It helps to give it a little more elegance to the card.

Here is another look at the finished product. The lighting wasn't great it doesn't show the marbling on the triangles very well. Sorry about that.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a marvelous day :)

Think Warm for the 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge

2012-01-19T00:00:00.002-07:00

Good Thursday morning! Our furnace has been running like crazy. The old man winter finally showed up not with a ton of snow but wicked temperatures. Wind chills of -45 all day yesterday. I hunkered down and stayed inside with my kids all day. With some hot chocolate, candles and a little bit of music some crafting was in order.

So this week I am your hostess over at 4 Crafty Chicks. With the last few days being so darn cold I am sure many of you are thinking of warmer places to go or summer time. So with that in mind I put out the challenge to you and my fellow DT's too

CHALLENGE #73 - SUMMER IN JANUARY

As I am typing this I have to laugh because I don't mind saying that I struggled a little bit with my own challenge. It sure was hard to get my mind thinking about summer. In December Leanne, Lori and I spent a wonderful day together. We did some shopping and hit a beautiful crafting store that was going out of business :( . When we were there I bought some pattern paper from Echo and it is called a walk in the park. The colors and words went perfectly for this challenge. Oh how I just love these colors. Then out came my Greeting Farms stamps. A little coloring with some Copic's and Stampin Up marker, some pearls, ribbon and wola a card was born.

while creating my card I popped over to The Pink Elephant and saw that there challenge this week is to use our favorite color or colors (TPE131) and oh do I love all of these colors. Papertake Weekly Challenge would like you to use Buttons, Bows, Bling & Blooms (you can use one or all of them). So I used the bling (pearls), the stamp has some blooms and maybe my ribbon might count..LOL. Make It Monday is on there 72nd challenge (anything goes) and it is a wonderful place to share you creations.

We would love to have you join us at 4 Crafty Chicks this week. It is always a blast to see what kind of creations people are inspired to make from our challenges. We appreciate you all sharing your creativeness with us. Be sure to stop bye Leanne, Lori and Melissa blogs and share some love. Their work is awesome.

Thanks for stopping bye and sharing my card with me :)

Bold Meets Clean and Simple

2012-01-12T22:00:00.004-07:00

Hello, today with this post I get the chance to share some awesome news with you. Last month I announced that I was part of a new Design Team and boy am I ever excited. Today is my first post for SP and Company Stamps by Samantha Peyton. Every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month will be a new posting using her stamps. Next Saturday I will get a chance to share a creation and how to do it on the SP Stamps Blog. Other news is that over at SP Stamps Blog every day they have some kind of inspiration post and every Sunday they have a new Challenge. Oh and we can't forget the blog hops on the 10th of every month. This next year is going to be so much fun :)

Onto my project with the SP and Company Stamps. I used a bold color of Cherry Cobbler ink on the Big Bold Background Stamp. The paper colors used on my card is Night of Navy and Whisper White. Some white ribbon and then I was ready to pop up my sentiment which I used from the stamp set Mix n Match: Holidays. I used two stamps Peaceful and Thoughts for my sentiment. Sometimes people are having troubles or lose someone and you could use this card for both situations. The two words were stamped in Night of Navy ink and a dauber was used to distress with the blue. A few gems to add a little pop.

Both stamps set can be very versatile. Be sure to stop by to the blog and store to check things out, get some awesome inspiration. Last but not least we also have a Scrapmaster's Paradise Forum, where you can talk about the blog hops, talk about crafts or non crafty chatter. A place to go and meet some really nice people.

I would like to enter my card into Make It Monday - Anything Goes

Thank you so much for sharing in my first creation with SP and Company Stamps. Hope you like what you see.

Have an amazing day :)

Scrapbook sketch

Card sketch

Here is my card. This card is for my son who is turning 15 on the weekend. For the three lines on the bottom right, I chose to use 3 staples. It is so hard too see but I figured they were a good touch for a young man. Loved these colors and the blue jean look. Stampin Up stamps and square scalloped punch, cajun craze ink, twine, staples and Martha Stewart punch. It is a fairly clean and simple card.

The order of our blog hop is:

Leanne
Melissa
Tamie (you are here)
Lori
4 Crafty Chicks' Blog

Our next stop is Lori's (Inkingly Yours).

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges where there is great inspiration.

Make It Monday - Anything Goes

The Pink Elephant #129 - Anything Goes

Top Tip Tuesday#67- Anything Goes ( my tip for my card is that if you don't want to rip or ink your paper to distress, a good old fashioned pair of scissors will do, I distressed on my left hand side of the card).

Paper Sundaes #101 - Something Old and Something New (my Lovely as a Tree stamp and birthday stamp are old and my new is the paper and twine).

Thank you so much for everyone for stopping bye to take a peek, I really appreciate you stopping and for any comments left. You all help me to be a better crafter.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...how I miss you! I am still waiting to get my house decorated. I know it is sad but alas they are hopefully fixing my front window for good today and they are still siding my house so nothing can be on the walls or close to the window. I want to sing...it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, every where you go...but first I have to get some holiday spirit going in my house.

Well today is Thursday and you know what that means. Another challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks and well it is my turn to host #68. I can't believe we are on that number already...doesn't that just rock. Can you believe that there is only 10 days left until Christmas Day *oy* so much to do, so little time but in the end it always works out. Okay enough of my babbling and onto our challenge

CHALLENGE #68 - CHRISTMAS CARDS

I made this clean and simple card with a few different layered colors, night of navy, basic grey and red. This was super fast and easy to make. I enjoyed designing this card while out at my friend Lori's. The other stamp I used was a door it was a Stampin Up Stamp. I also had a few that had a scripted Merry Christmas in red ink. Other than stamp a stacks this was my first time ever mass producing my husbands work cards. Normally they each get a different one but this year life was just a little busier. They were a little disappointed but still liked them. Everything on this card is from Stampin Up.

Be sure to stop bye Leanne, Lori and Melissa blogs because they have made some super fabby creations. Also check out our Guest Designer: Dee, she is going to be joining us for her third challenge this month. Oh did she ever rock out on my Christmas card challenge.

Good Morning! I hope this posts finds everyone in really good health. This last weekend and the start of this week the flu arrived in our house. We tell it every year that it is not welcome but for some reason it feels free to stay...LOL. On Sunday we had our first Family Christmas party of the season and it was one filled with great company and lots of laughs.

It was another amazing turn out last week at 4 Crafty Chicks. The awesome coloring, cool layouts, and creativity was wonderful! We are on week two for December and we are lucky that our hostess with the mostess this week is our one and only MELISSA.

CHALLENGE #67 - COLOR COMBO

I had so much fun with this color combo. Right away this glittery paper I bought popped right into my head, then the layout. The paper on my card, the twine, the stamp set, top note and jewel are from Stampin Up. The glittery espresso color paper is from a craft store from a town near mine. Of course the texture is from a snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug. As you can see it is another clean and simple card. I don't think this picture does justice for the glitter on the paper, but oh how I love it.

Be sure to stop bye Leanne, Lori and Melissa blogs because they have made some super fabby creations. Also check out our Guest Designer: Dee, she is going to be joining us for her second challenge this month. Thank you so much for your awesome card.
