FabFri173 Love & Peace

Fun sketch over at Fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com

I just received some of this suite from my friend Linda Heller 

over at lindastamps.com 

She sent me several 6"x 6" pieces of the DSP called Toile Tidings

along with some Garden Green 3/8" stitched ribbon, Real Red 1" ruched ribbon,

and Toile Tidings glitter enamels dots. 

 I had not bought any of this suite so was excited to play with them 

and saw they would be perfect for the sketch challenge. 

I used a Garden Green base and layered a piece of Real Red card stock

before adding the adorable print of Toile Tidings in Very Vanilla and Real Red.

I cut the stitched circles with the Stitched Shapes dies 

in Real Red and Garden Green.

 I added the Green stitched ribbon to the bottom.

I then cut the words Love and Peace out where I had stamped them 

on Very Vanilla from the set called So Many Stars. I also used the 

& sign stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black stamped right on the red circle.

I think these words go well with the scenes on the designer paper!

I finished off with a row of pearls under Peace. 

Hope you can play along with the sketch challenge this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

PP461 Pumpkins Of Thanks

My fav challenge is always a Tic-Tac-Toe!

Thanks Jaydee for the challenge today!

I chose the diagonal fall, die-cut, pumpkin.

I used the fall themed Come To Gather DSP along with the 

bundle of Gather Together stamp set and Gathered Leaves dies.

Yes, this bundle has the cutest pumpkin stamps and dies. 

Not to mention the awesome leaves!

I started with a Pretty Peacock base and added Early Espresso card stock

 then the Designer Paper with pumpkins. 

I added the strip of Peacock and Espresso across the background.

I stamped the large leaf and the pumpkins in Espresso ink.

I cut them with those matching dies. 

I cut the detailed leaves also with Espresso and Peacock card stock and tucked them in.

I colored the pumpkins with my Stampin Blends markers 

in Pumpkin Pie, Ivory, and Soft Sea Foam.

I stamped my sentiment from same set in Peacock on Whisper White

and cut it out with the Stitched Nested labels dies.

I finished it off with some Crumb Cake thick twine.

Hope you enjoy your Sunday!

We are out eating & drinking our way around the world today!

CTS341 Christmas Time

Love plaid and wanted to cut into this one print which is 

a perfect background for my snowman and this sketch!

I cut the paper called Wrapped in Plaid DSP with my Stitched Rectangle dies.

Same for the white card stock I layered it on before adding the the 

Cherry Cobbler base. I cut a strip of white with the curve die from 

In The Woods dies and stamped the sentiment from the host set 

called Greatest Part of Christmas in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I stamped the snowman from Snowman Season stamp set 

in Black and punch him out. I also punched out the stick arms

in Soft Suede and the hat in Basic Black. I hand cut a strip of 

Cherry to add to the hat.

I stamped the hat from the set and hand snipped the holly

  plus colored it with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler 

Stampin Blends markers before adding the the top hat.

I colored the snowman with the Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and

and cut them with the matching dies.

Wedding Day In Blues

I made a wedding card last week for a wedding my 

family attended this past Sunday. I used the First Frost bundle

and the Night of Navy with silver as they were the colors for the happy couple!

I added the Seaside Spray ink in for a light blue.

I stamped the flowers in both colors and then cut them with the matching dies

called Frosted Bouquet dies.

I stamped long floral stems in silver ink on the white background

and popped the flowers up on it. I cut one of the filter dies in silver foil and

then cut it in half to add to the arrangement. 

I cut the frame from Ornate Frames dies in silver foil. 

I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet stamp set 

in Night of Navy on white card stock and cut it with the same dies.

GDP208 Off To Great Places!

I made another tall and skinny card using the hot air balloons

from Above the Clouds as I case the designer for the 

global-design-project.com 

Krista Frattin makes the most beautiful cards and hard to case.

I took the two balloons and went with blue hues!

I made the base 3.5" by 6" with Crumb Cake.

I added some white card stock and then a piece of 

Seaside Spray gingham for a lovely sky like background.

I stamped the ballons in Night of Navy on white card stock

and then did a second step to color in with Seaside Spray stamped off once.

I stamped the clouds in Seaside on white card stock and hand snipped them out.

I punched out the balloons with the Hot Air Balloon punch and same for the 

baskets stamped in Navy ink on Crumb Cake. 

I punched the triangles out from the 2019-2021 in color 

paper pack in prints of Seaside Spray plus white card stock.

I stamped the sentiment in Navy of a strip of white card stock

FabFri172 Colorful Country Home

I really like getting to use this set several times.

I think it is because I like coloring these image from the Country Home set.

I stamped the images on a thick whisper white stitched nested label

in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with my Stampin Blends markers.

I colored the can in Pretty Peacock and then the floral arrangement 

with Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron. 

I layered a strip of designer paper behind from 

Come To gather DSP and then added it to a 

Pretty Peacock piece of card stock ran thought the Stylish Scroll

emboss folder then layered on a white piece of card stock

 and the Blackberry Bliss base.

I did not add a sentiment because sometimes

 I like having some cards in my stash so I can use for 

any occasion.

FF0043 Sending Healing Hugs!

I picked several items from the INSPO list for the

I went with encouragement theme, blue, hugs, and hearts.

I also love the sketch above and worked it in for this card.

I picked the right set to combine both.

I love the Healing Hugs set and do not mind cutting the roses

 out by hand along with the leaves. 

I stamped one rose in Blueberry Bushel and one in Seaside Spray.

I stamped the leaves in Mint Macaron.

I added the strip of Seaside Spray gingham designer paper from the 

2019-2021 in color designer paper pack. 

I placed all on the white background and stamped the hearts from the 

Forever Lovely stamp set.

I used 4 purples sponged on thick whisper white card stock.

I took my sponge daubers and sponged Blackberry Bliss, 

Rich Razzleberry, Gorgeous Grape, and Highland Heather. 

I then sprayed some water to give some water spots.

After drying, I stamped the bitty stars from So Many Stars set in VersaMark

 and heat embossed them in gold emboss powder.

added to the top. I heat embossed the words in gold from Royal Peacock set.

Box Wednesday

I made these cut boxes for class this week for my guest 

to carry home their hand made cards. 

I used some retired Marina Mist card stock because 

I had a whole pack of it. I added the panel of designer paper to the front

from the Woven Threads DSP because I thought the colors matched ok.

I popped a Terracotta Tile leave cut from the 

Gathered Leaves dies. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a 

blessed day.

CTS339 Terracotta Thanks

I channeled my inner Brian King at stampwithbrian.com and used almost as many 

layers as he did! You can see his card here. 

I love the gingham paper and pulled it here in the new color Terracotta Tile. 

I started with the Terracotta base and added a layer of white card stock

then Smoky Slate, then white then the gingham print from the 

2019-2021 in colors paper pack in Terracotta Tile. 

I cut the two squares from Stitched Shapes dies in white and Smoky.

I stamped the sentiment from Gather Together set in Basic Gray.

FF0042 Believing In You

I took several photos but it is hard to see the 

High Seas "water" embossed background here in white. 

But I do have water, black, gold pearls and a mermaid!

I love black and white together and a pop of gold makes it perfect!

I stamped the weeds on the white label die in gold ink then stamped the 

mermaid in Memento Tuxedo Black from the Magical Mermaid set.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set in black on a stitched 

white circle and added a gold foil circle behind before popping on a 

black label die from Smooth Sailing dies.

on black card stock then a white base.

Beautiful Thing

I need to go away from fall colors for the last car for classes.

I always try for a little more purple than not!

I also do not think I have used this bundle card Beautiful Promenade

for class before so thought it would make a perfect addition to the line up this month.

I got the layout and stamping the background inspiration 

over at craftylittlepeach.blogspot.com 

I started with the Highland Heather base and added the layer of white

which I stamped a little with one detailed flower from the set

but I did stamp off once to make the Highland Heather ink lighter.

I stamped the flower in Highland ink on a piece of Purple Posy

card stock and cut with the matching dies called Beautiful Layers.

I stamped the leaves three times on white in Granny Apple Green

 and also cut them with the matching dies.  

*side note- I am crazy about Highland Heather with Granny Apple Green.

I cut that beautiful detailed die in white and stamped the sentiment from

Colorful Seasons in Highland Heather.

I finished it ff with a few pearls.

Beautiful card for last class card!

Country Home Double Image

I did some casing from the new SU! 2019 holiday catalog with this 

fourth card for classes. I used Very Vanilla for the base and added some

designer paper in Pretty Peacock from the Woven Threads DSP pack.

I added a another piece of Very Vanilla and stamped in Memento Tuxedo 

Black ink the floral arrangement twice from the Country Home set.

 I colored it with the Stampin Blends markers in Pumpkin Pie, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive.

 I added the strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock in the middle and 

added the Stitched Nested Label in Vanilla stamped in Pretty Peacock 

from the To A Wild Rose set. I finished it off some linen thread and bow.

Come To Gather Fall Suite

My third card for classes this month of course is with this awesome new 

suite called Come To Gather. I used a few pieces of the designer paper 

by the same name on the background- one with leaves and one with plaid.

The layer behind the leaf print is in Pretty Peacock card stock.

I cut the Cajun Craze leaves with the die cuts called Gathered Leaves.

They cut and emboss the paper at the same time...so cool!

I cut the stitched circle in Crumb Cake card stock as well as the 

Stitched Nested Label with the sentiment stamp in Cajun

from  Gather Together set. I also stamped the pumpkin

and the large leaf from the stamp set on white card stock.

The pumpkin in Cajun and colored with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin Blends marker.

I stamped the leaf with Early Espresso ink and colored in with the 

Light Cajun Craze Stampin Blends marker and added a little Light 

Mint Macaron to the veins. 

I finished the card with a Cajun twine bow from the

So Thankful With Beauty & Joy

I like the different elements and textures on this second card for classes.

I started with the Crushed Curry base, a layer of Gray Granite 

and then a layer of Crushed Curry again but ran through with the 

Brick & Mortar emboss folder for great texture!

I added the strip of Come To Gather DSP in the wood 

texture to the background along with the Curry crinkled ribbon. 

I stamped the image from Beauty & Joy set on a piece of white card stock 

cut from the Stitched Nested Labels.

 I stamped the basket first in Gray Granite and then the tree trunk in Soft Suede.

I finished with the leaves stamped in Curry and sponged with Mango Melody.

I find it easier to stamp in this order to line all up.

I cut a white Ornate Frame and stamped the sentiment from same set in Soft Suede. 

I got some inspiration from the talented Amy Koenders over at

Rooted In Nature Technique Card

I got this technique for Rooted In Nature from stampingeorgia.com 

and you can click the link for her cards and video here.

I thought my classes would love the technique which is sponging the 

sunset look in three colors and spraying a little water to give a cool effect.

I did the sponging on a white strip of card stock cut 2 1/8" by 5 1/2" using 

Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, and Mango Melody inks.

I then sprayed it with a couple of squirts of water and let dry-maybe 10 mins.

I laid it down on my white base and stamped the tree three times from 

Rooted In Nature set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I stamped one of my fav sentiments from Colorful Seasons set in Black.

I added the black card stock strip cut 2 3/8" by 5 1/2" under the white 

sponged strip and added to my project. 

I added a few black rhinestones for bling.

Hope my class likes this first card and technique!

CTS58 May All Your Days

Yes, love that pops of red!.  I started to add a wooden chair

with wood texture paper but after all this blue I just had to pop red!

Ok, so we know the chair is cut from Real Red card stock withe the 

Seasonal Layers dies. I layered it on a Night of Navy oval.

I have a Navy base and a stitched rectangle Seaside Spray background.

I love Navy and Spray together!

PP458 A Gathered Wishing You Well

Love designing fall cards. This color combo made it easy to make this one. 

I started with the fall paper called Come To Gather for the background.

I layered Sahara Sand and then placed on a Merry Merlot base.

I cut several Merlot leaves and then stamped a large 

leaf with the Come Together stamp set on Sand in Cajun Craze and used the 

dies called Gathered Leaves to cut. Same for the pumpkin except 

I heat embossed it in Pewter emboss powder and colored with my

Light Cajun Craze Stampin Blends marker. I added a bit of linen thread for a bow.

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of Pretty Peacock with VersaMark

and used the Pewter emboss powder again.

I stamped the wheat stalks on Sand in Pretty Peacock ink and hand snipped them.

FMS401 Thinking Of Sea Horses

This is for my friend Gale who is still deciding on the 

Seaside Notions set and needs another nudge to buy it and use it! 

I was going for light colors with this collage under the sea.

I combined the Seaside Notions with my Sea Of Textures set with dies. 

I started with the base of white and added the background in Seaside 

Spray card stock ran through the High Seas emboss folder. 

I cut the white in a 3 1/2" square to pop on top. 

I stamped the sand stamp in Gray Granite, the netting in Seaside,

the my sea horse and shell in Gray. I handing snipped out the  sea horse and shell

after coloring them lightly with my aqua painter and Calypso Coral ink 

on the sea horse and the Seaside Spray on the shell. 

I cut the seagrass with the Under The Sea dies in int Macaron.

I stamped the sentiment from Colorful Seasons in Coral on the 

strip of Seaside Spray card stock.  I finished it off with some

sequin from the Woven Threads collection.
