Challenge 222-Sorry to see you go!

Hey there crafty people!

This week's challenge over at the Late Night Stamper's Challenge Blog is to create something using soon-to-be-retired products.  My project involves a little bit of new stuff, with a few retiring things thrown in, so hopefully I haven't bent the rules too much.  :)

I CASEd this from Amy Storrie, and made it as a housewarming gift for a dear friend and former neighbor who just bought her first house.  She has been through a tremendous amount of stuff over the past few years, but with a wonderful husband, a healthy brand new baby girl, and now a beautiful new house, she has finally come out on top.  When I got this new stamp set in the mail, this particular saying made me think of her.

I hope you all enjoy it, and that you'll stop by to play along!  You can check out the design team's samples, and submit your creation HERE.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Feel Goods, A Round Array, Papillion Potpourri
Cardstock:  Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink:  Calypso Coral
Accessories:  This n That Epic Day DSP, Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Big Shot, Blossom Party Die, Frames Collection Framelits, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Scallop Circle Punches, Bird Punch, Designer Build a Brads, In Color Designer Printed Brads, In Color Dahlias, Antique Brads, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Crumb Cake Tulle, Basic Jewels Rhinestones, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Challenge 221-Celebrate!

Hey there crafty people!

My sample for this week's challenge is a digital creation.  My youngest brother is graduating High School this year, and since it's getting that time....we thought we better get a move on the invitations!  This is a tri-fold card created in My Digital Studio, but the image shows the card before it's folded.  For the front of the card (the left 1/3 panel of the card) I loosely CASEd a subway art creation by Janet Wakeland.  She is an MDS pro, so if I'm ever unsure of how to do something with my software or need a place to start, I usually go to her blog.

I hope you guys come over to the LNS Challenge Blog and give this week's challenge a go!  Get all the details, view the design team's samples for inspiration, and then upload your own creations, all by clicking HERE.

As always, thanks for looking!

Challenge 220- Switcheroo!

Hey there Crafty People!

I'm back with my sample for this week's Late Night Stamper Blog Challenge.  This week, the design team challenges you to switch it up a bit-that is, use a card as inspiration for a scrapbook page or other 3D project, or vice versa.  Maybe you've seen a sweet scrapbook layout that you want to scale down a bit into a card-GREAT!  Check out plenty of inspiration and post your own fabulous creation at the Late Night Stampers Blog!  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

So, my sample for this week is a collection of goodies I made for my husband's 2 secretaries at work...since this past Wednesday was Secretary's Day.  I used the Happy Hello Simply Sent Kit that you may have gotten for FREE during Sale-A-Bration!  I got the idea for the purse from a Facebook post by Lyssa Zwolanek and CASEd the cards from a sample I saw by Josee Smuck. Both of these ladies are fantastic Stampin' Up! demonstrators whose work I love.

Here's the inspiration images:

Supplies:

Stamps:  Oh Hello, Perfect Words

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Baja Breeze and Gumball Green Stampin' Write Markers

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray

Accessories:  International Bazaar DSP, Big Shot, Chevron TIEF, Happy Hello Simply Sent Kit, Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, Daffodil Delight 1/8" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Antique Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

Ok...until next time-Thanks for Looking!

Challenge 217-Candy Bar Inspiration!

Hello Crafty People!

This week's challenge is a sweet one indeed.  We challenge you to create a project with a favorite candy bar in mind.  You can use the candy as color inspiration, or actually use the candy or its wrapper on your project-we're not picky!  Just show us your creativity!

For my card, I used the colors of a Mr. Goodbar.  It's not necessarily my favorite candy bar, but from the moment I heard of this challenge, it's the one that kept popping into my head, and I DO like the colors, so, why not?!

Stamps:  Oh Hello

Ink:  Real Red, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Early Espresso, Real Red

Accessories:  Real Red and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Markers, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Ovals Collection Framelits, Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Basic Jewels Pearls, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig

Tips:  To get just the look I wanted, and the repeating pattern I desired, I used my Stampin' Write Markers to ink up my stamp and the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for perfect placement

If you need some inspiration, don't forget to check out the rest of the design team's samples...we have some fabulous ladies over there...including our lovely guest designers.  We would also love to see what you've created, so don't forget to upload your sample once you've finished it!

Challenge 178 Add an Insect!

Hello!

Happy Friday to everyone!  I hope you're enjoying the dreadful heat and humidity!  At least, that's what the weather here in Northern Virginia is.  That's ok...perfect reason to stay inside where there's AC and CRAFT!

So today's share is for this week's LNS Challenge.  We have a great challenge this week to welcome in Summer.  We all know that Summer means more insects-bees, ants, ladybugs, etc.  So in honor of Summer having begun on Wednesday, we will be celebrating insects!

Challenge 178
Add an insect

This week you must have an insect on your card, scrapbook page, project or any thing else you can think of to papercraft.

As has been very popular this week, I too used the butterfly as my insect.  I've always kept a good distance from anything that crawls, buzzes, or scurries, so...I went with the "girly" insect...

I CASEd this card from Stampin' Connection, but can't remember whose work it was, so if you can identify it, please, let me know so I can give credit where it's due!

Need some inspiration?  Check out the design team creations HERE    

When you get your creation made you can upload it HERE    

Can't wait to see what insects you include in your projects!

Thanks for looking!

Stamps:  Kindness Matters, Word Play

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Pool Party

Ink:  Early Espresso

Accessories:  Daffodil Delight 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon, Pool Party, Gumball Green, and Raspberry Ripple Stampin' Write Markers, Mat Pack, Decorative Label Punch, Basic Jewels Rhinestones
