Keepin' It Simple, Vol. 2

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I have another Keepin' It Simple installment for you. I used the Papertrey Ink sets Rustic Branches and First Fruits to stamp this clean and simple card. I stamped the wreath three times, in SU! More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, and Really Rust. I stamped the sentiment from First Fruits across the center of the wreath in Chocolate Chip ink, then I added some Stickles to the berries.

The only other elements are scoring, a scalloped edge, and this gorgeous suede ribbon from My Favorite Things. I stamped a matching envelope, and ta da -- a quick and easy Thanksgiving card! I could easily change this up with different colors, sentiment, or ribbon -- lots of possibilities from one simple card!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by today! I do appreciate it SO much!

Have a fantastic Friday! :)

Keepin' It Simple

Happy Wednesday, everyone! This week, I began doing some substitute teaching at my girls' school. I'm also in the process of making card sets to sell at my friend's store. On top of that, I'm trying to juggle my family's ever-crazy schedule and my stamping commitments. SOOOO, my focus has been on Keepin' It Simple. The sets of cards I'm selling are all clean and simple designs that will hopefully appeal to everyone. Here's a sample!

I used the Papertrey Ink sets Believe and Snowflake Serenade, and I stamped the images on shimmery white cardstock. Rhinestone stickers, white organza ribbon, and a snowflake punch are the only embellishments on this simple white card. I stamped coordinating envelopes and packaged them in a set of four.

I'll have more Keepin' It Simple installments for you in the upcoming weeks -- with the holidays right around the corner, I need to simplify all I can! :)

I hope you are having a good week so far -- I'm so glad you stopped by today!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Button Birthday

Happy Tuesday! I had some time this past weekend to play with some sets which hadn't yet seen ink. If you remember, several friends and I spent quite a bit of time and money at the Papertrey Ink booth during the CHA Supershow. I still hadn't given my new sets the attention they deserve, so I got to work. I used Everyday Button Bits to make this birthday card. It's going to a friend whose birthday is this week -- and she happens to be the one who spent the most time at the PTI booth! ;)

You probably know by now that I *love* this October Afternoon Cherry Hill paper. I saw these two patterns lying together on my stamping counter, so I put them together on this card. Actually, after I was finished, I decided this combination would be perfect for a Christmas card!

I embellished with more PTI products: the ribbon, buttons, twine, and Vintage Touch tea dye ink (around the image panel). I also machine stitched around the paper panels.

Tomorrow I'll have some MFT fun to share with you, so I hope you'll stop back! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit today!

Have a great day!

A Tisket, A Tasket... What's in Your Basket?

Happy Monday, everyone! While shopping at the CHA Supershow, several of us spent quite a bit of time (and money) at the Papertrey Ink booth. To be sure we all actually used some of our new loot, Leigh O'Brien issued a challenge: choose any basket from Vintage Picnic and fill it with whatever we want! Carole named it our "Mother Button Son-of-a-Basket Challenge." ;)

I saw Rascal Flatts in concert Saturday night (AWESOME!!), and their song "Summer Nights" inspired this card. My favorite line from the song goes, "Summer Nights, everybody are you with me, let that Igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise." So, here it is, my ode to summer: a basket filled with ice cold beverages! :) I used the bottle from MFT's Let's Hear it for the Boys, and I did quite a bit of masking to get all the bottles in the basket. I picked up this October Afternoon paper at the show, so I HAD to use it, too! I paper pieced the basket and colored with Copics. I did some machine stitching around the paper panel and some sponging around the image panel.

Okay, now check out how the other girls have stuffed their baskets!

Limited Supplies Card

Happy Saturday -- and happy St. Nick's Day! :) Today's card is for yesterday's Limited Supplies Challenge at SCS. The "list" to follow was: it had to be a monochromatic card, only snowflake images could be used, there had to be bling somewhere on the project, and the sentiment had to be one word.

It came together pretty easily, and I like the way it turned out! There's something I just love about brown snowflake cards!

I'm leaving soon for our annual holiday shopping trip with Megan, my sisters-in-law, and my nieces -- wish me luck! ;) I hope you have something fun planned today -- have a fantastic day! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

No Electricity!

Hi, everyone! I'm working tonight from Chris's office, because we have been without electricity at home since about 3:00 yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. We had terrible winds (gusts around 75 mph) all day -- compliments of Ike! Duke Energy said that 900,000 (about 90%) of their customers were without power, the most ever. It's down to about 600,000 at this point, and we're among them! It's a mess around our area -- lots of trees down, minor damage to some homes. Our rear gutter is in a mangled heap in our backyard! Luckily, though, no one was hurt, and I know that many others in our country have dealt with much worse. It certainly makes me count my blessings!

Anyway, I'm here at Chris's office, getting laundry done and catching up on computer stuff, so I thought I'd sneak in a quick post. I made this card early yesterday before the storm hit. It's for the Featured Stamper Challenge at SCS. This week's FS is lazylizard. I CASEd her card shown HERE. I changed the colors and images, and I added some layers, ribbon, and a Cuttlebug background.

The images are from First Fruits by Papertrey Ink. It is a gorgeous set, full of autumn and Thanksgiving images and sentiments. I created the "patterned paper" on the corners by stamping repeatedly with one of the images in the set. On the corners and the image panel I did a lot of rock-and-rolling. I really like how it turned out!

That's all I have for now! I don't know when I'll get more stamping in or when I'll get back on the computer, so I hope you'll check back with me! Thanks so much for stopping by -- I hope to be posting again soon! :)

Sweet Pea

Hello, everyone! I hope your weekend is a good one so far!

This card is one that I submitted for publication, but it wasn't picked up. That means I can share it with you!! :) It's a pretty simple design, perfect for a baby girl. The images are from the Papertrey Ink set Green Thumb. I stamped the pea pod and peas, then I placed Dew Drops over the three peas to give them some dimension. I machine stitched around the square paper panel and on the top and bottom of the horizontal panel. I attached the tag to the ribbon with a Making Memories safety pin. That's about it!

I'll have more to share with you next week -- I hope you'll stop back! Have a great day today -- thanks for making me a part of it! :)

A Day of Firsts

Hello! Happy Monday! ;)

I have some "firsts" to share with you today. Did you notice my new blog banner? I made it myself! It was my "first" time digi scrapping! I went to Shabby Princess and downloaded one of their free collections, then I got busy! It took me most of yesterday afternoon, but I'm so happy with the result! I think I got the hang of it -- I just may try a digi scrapbook layout soon!

Another "first" -- my first time playing one of the Our Creative Corner challenges. Have you been there yet? What a fantastically talented group of ladies! They have a weekly challenge, and this week's is to use BasicGrey paper on your project.

I pulled out some Romani paper, which led me to another "first" -- my first time using the Papertrey Ink set Garden of Life, designed by Alli Miles. I got this set when it was first released, but it has sat with the rest of my uninked sets until now (why, I don't know!). The flower images coordinate perfectly with the paper, don't you think?!? I pulled out the Bloom Dots Cuttlebug folder, and it all came together from there!

This week is going to be a busy one! Wednesday I'll have the ATS Challenge for you. Also, Wednesday night I get to post my MFT Ambassador Challenge during the My Favorite Things release party at SCS!! I'm so excited!! I hope you'll stop by and play! :) Thursday I'll begin the previews of the July C.C. Designs releases! The images are so cute -- lots of summer fun! :)

Well, I have much to do -- I'd better get busy! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Stamps: Garden of Life (Papertrey Ink) Ink: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Pixie Pink, Basic Black (SU!) Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Real Red, Whisper White (SU!) Paper: Romani (BasicGrey) Other: Cuttlebug, Bloom Dots embossing Folder (Provo Craft); Limeade Sugarcoated Brads (Doodlebug); circle punches, horizontal slot punch, Real Red 5/8" grosgrain, 3/16" corner rounder, silver cord, 1/16" handheld punch, dimensionals (SU!)

A Book for the Bride

Sunday I will be co-hosting a bridal shower for my best friend's daughter. Instead of shower games, I decided on a different way to have "audience participation." I created this "Advice and Best Wishes" book for her. She is getting married in July in Michigan during the Cherry Festival. The theme, of course, is cherries. Yay -- another reason to use my Summer Picnic paper! :) The cherry stamped image is from Tart and Tangy, but all other images are from Alli Miles' gorgeous set Wedding Day by Papertrey Ink.

Here's a closer look at the details. The oval frame was stamped in Old Olive ink and then cut out. I stamped a frame around the cherries with the leaf image. I mounted the oval on Real Red cardstock and trimmed it with decorative scissors. The sentiment was stamped onto the paper in Basic Black. The little charm says "love" and is tied on with silver cord. The dotted ribbon is from Michaels, and the olive ribbon is from SU!.

I created an assortment of cards on which the shower guests will write either words of advice or best wishes for the bride-to-be. The sentiments are also from Wedding Day -- the font is so beautiful! Click on the photo for a better look.

I'll place the completed cards in the book, one on each page. Hopefully she will have many wonderful words to guide her into her life as a wife!! :)

Tomorrow I'll show you the gift bags and centerpieces -- more cherries!! Thanks so much for the visit today -- have a fantastic day! :)

Sweet and Simple Color Challenge Card

A quick post tonight -- it's been a busy day! Here's my card for today's Color Challenge -- Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink, and Certainly Celery. I thought this sentiment would be appropriate for Mother's Day -- what do you think? I added Stickles to the flower centers. The lilac scalloped layer is actually two Giga Scalloped Squares overlapped -- someday I'll have Nestabilities! :)

I'll list all the supplies -- if you have any questions, just ask! Thanks so much for the visit! :)

Stamps: Out on a Limb (Papertrey Ink) Ink: Lovely Lilac, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery (SU!) Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Lovely Lilac, Whisper White (SU!)

Wedding Day

I was so busy with design team work and other deadlines last week that I didn't get to ink up some of my other new sets! I was glad for a chance to play today! I am in love with this gorgeous set by Alli Miles, manufactured by Papertrey Ink. It's called Wedding Day, and it has so many possiblilties! For some reason Chocolate Chip and Cool Caribbean just seem like a classic, romantic combination, so I used them on this card. Two of the images were used to create "patterned paper" on the Cool Caribbean cardstock. The circles were cut with my Fiskars Circle Cutter, and I sponged around the edges before mounting them on dimensionals. The white background layer was made with my Cuttlebug and Textile Texture embossing folder. I think it coordinates perfectly with this set! I used a corner rounder (paper guide removed) to create the scallops, and I finished it with some Chocolate Chip taffeta ribbon. I also stamped a coordinating envelope.

This card could be used for a wedding, anniversary, engagement, or just because! My best friend's daughter is getting married in July, so I have lots of things planned for this set! You'll definitely be seeing it again! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by -- I hope you're having gorgeous spring weather like ours (sunny and 75 degrees F). Have a fantastic day! :)

Grandma's Christmas Gift Set

Hi, everyone! THREE more days.....

Here's a gift set I made for my Grandma. For her Christmas gift, I wanted to make her some monogrammed stationery to go with her favorite perfume. As luck would have it, I had some Au Chocolat paper I had been hoarding, and it is a perfect match! I made twelve cards, six of each design, and stamped the envelopes to coordinate. Also as luck would have it, Ballet Blue is a perfect match to the blue border on the perfume label. All stamps and the clear box are from Papertrey Ink.

This project doesn't have lots of layers or fancy techniques, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. That's one of the things I love about papercrafting: you can take just a few supplies and create something that is custom-made and beautiful. And, it comes from the heart. That's why we do what we do, right? :)

I'm taking a few days off from stamping and blogging so I can enjoy them with family. I want to wish all of you a happy and blessed Christmas. May Christ's birth bring joy and peace to you and your families. I'll see you all next week. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Stamps: Ambassador Monogram, B&C Monogram Edition, Holiday Sweets (Papertrey Ink) Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Ballet Blue (SU!) Paper: Au Chocolat (SU!) Ink: Chocolate Chip, Ballet Blue (SU!) Other: clear box (PTI); Scalloped Circle Punch, 1/3/8" Circle Punch, 1/4" circle punch, Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Very Vanilla medium envelopes (SU!)

Aaaaahhhh... Simplicity

I was really struggling with a true papercrafter's dilemma last week. Let me preface it by saying that every year I work like a madwoman to get my Christmas cards made and mailed. I make, on average, about 130 cards. It takes a lot of time, as you can well imagine. In the process, I get stressed out and don't do some of the other "holiday" things that make the season fun and special. That brings me to my dilemma: do I make all those cards again this year, or do I do something simpler and enjoy the Christmas season with my family (no-brainer, huh?)? Here was my compromise: I made about 15 cards for my family and close friends (those are the people who I really want to make something for anyway), and I ordered photo cards for the rest of the list!! I also went with a simpler card that was easier to mass produce, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! I knew I wanted to use my Snowflake Serenade set from Papertrey Ink, and I was inspired by Jen del Muro's card here, so this is what I came up with:


Can you hear me breathing a sigh of relief? Can you see the non-stressed look on my face? :)

Have a great day -- take time to enjoy the season! Thanks for visiting -- I really do appreciate it! :)

Journal and Bookmark

Good morning! Today we woke up to see our first snowfall! Not much, maybe 1-2 inches, but it was a pretty sight! I just wish it wasn't so cold! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! :)

Here's a project I worked on yesterday. This is a composition journal that I covered with SU! Brocade Background paper. The darker decorative portion on top is actually another pattern of the paper that I cut around and adhered over the first piece. All the stamped images are from Papertrey Ink. The journal lettering is from Trajan Monogram. The letter on the bookmark is from Ambassador Monogram, and the dotted squares and circle are from Borders & Corners - Monogram Edition. The images were stamped with Old Olive and Chocolate Chip inks. I sponged around the journal and panel with Close to Cocoa ink. Embellishments are 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain, a brown Bazzill Bitty Blossom, and two Silk Road Primas. The brads are from Making Memories.

I created the bookmark by sandwiching one end of the ribbon between two SU! Scalloped Circles. the center circle was made with a 1 3/8" Circle Punch. There is a "T" on the other side as well.

I'll be giving this set to my friend for Christmas (I hope she's not reading this!). One more gift to check off the list! :) Thanks for stopping by today -- have a great day!

A Sketch Challenge -- Papertrey Style

Here's my card for today's Sketch Challenge at SCS. I was able to squeeze it in after the kids got home from school and before Kyle's basketball game! All the images are from Papertrey Ink's Believe set. The paper is Wonderland by Cosmo Cricket. Cardstock is SU! Chocolate Chip and Watercolor Paper. I stamped the image in Basic Brown ink, then watercolored with an Aquapainter and inks. I used Cranberry Crisp on his suit, then gave it a light wash with Close to Cocoa to age it a bit. I used Blush Blossom on his face. The shadow was done with a Creamy Caramel marker, then blended with a blender pen. I used the same marker to outline Santa, then I used Creamy Caramel ink to sponge around the edges of the panel. The faux stitching was done with a Chocolate Chip marker. The sentiment and stars were stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped a fourth star, cut it out, and covered it with Cinnamon Stickles. Then I mounted it between Santa's hands with half of a Stampin' Dimensional. I also used the Cinnamon Stickles on the three star centers and on the "i" in Believe. I used Frosted Lace Stickles on Santa's beard and suit trim. Finally, I added SU! Jumbo Eyelets and Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon.

I'm really pleased with how this card turned out! I think I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit now! Thanks so much for stopping by -- have a great night! :)

Sensational Snowflakes

Two posts in one day! Everyone in my family has been home today, so we just spent the day watching Christmas movies and playing games. I had lots of time to play with new stamps! I just received Snowflake Serenade from Papertrey Ink, and it was great that I could use it for today's Limited Supplies Challenge -- Sensational Snowflakes. I did the first card in browns, to follow the challenge guidelines, then I made another in greens. Let me tell you, I'm lovin' this set! The images are so elegant, and I can imagine so many color combinations on cards and gifts!

Chris and I are headed out to find a tree and decorations for his office -- I hope the crowds aren't too bad! I plan to get started on my decorations at home this weekend, but I'm sure I'll squeeze in a little stamping, too! ;) Have a great night!

Monogrammed Napkins

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!

I realize I should be doing something else this morning (my family will be here in just a few hours), but I wanted to interrupt my Thanksgiving preparations to bring you this very easy project! I was so excited when I received my order from Papertrey Ink a couple days ago, and I knew what I was going to do with it right away! I used Borders and Corners - Monogram Edition and Trajan Monogram Edition. I stamped the images in Really Rust and Chocolate Chip on these fancy linen-like paper napkins. Quick and easy, but it's such a nice personal touch for your holiday table!

I have BIG plans for these sets -- gifts and personalized items for Christmas -- so you'll be seeing more of them! Okay, back to my regularly scheduled preparations...

Take some time to be truly thankful today. I'm so very thankful for my health, my family, my unbelievably supportive husband, and for all of you!!! This blogging adventure is such a joy for me, and it's because of your kind words and your encouragement! Thank you! I know my Canadian friends have already had their Thanksgiving, but there's always room for more gratitude, right? :) Have a great day!

Halloween Treat Tins

I just wanted to share these Halloween tins with you. I made these for Anna to give to her Kindergarten teacher and aides. They came together in a snap, thanks to the tins and Spooky Sweets stamp set, both from Papertrey Ink. I simply cut strips of SU! Creepy Crawly paper and used Sticky Strip to attach them to the tins. I added some ribbon to the top (Martha Stewart and Michael's) and attached the sentiment circles to the front. The Hershey's Nuggets are wrapped with address labels which were stamped in Pumpkin Pie and Really Rust. Quick and easy!

Happy Halloween to all of you -- I hope you receive more treats than tricks! :)

Technique Challenge: Cracked Glass

Today's Technique Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is Cracked Glass. Beate's tutorial can be found on the Challenge thread here. To do this technique, you heat emboss over your stamped image with three layers of Glassy Glaze EP or other thick embossing enamel. You put your embossed image in the freezer for a minute or so to cool completely, then you bend it to crack the glaze. So cool!

The image and sentiment on this card are part of the Believe set from Papertrey Ink. I stamped the tree in SU! Old Olive ink, then used a blender pen and inks (Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Close to Cocoa and Cranberry Crisp) to color it in. The sentiment is stamped in Cranberry Crisp ink. Paper is from K&Co., and the cardstock is SU! River Rock, Cranberry Crisp, and Very Vanilla. It's hard to see, but I stamped En Francais in River Rock ink on the background paper. Another detail that's hard to see: I scored a "frame" around the tree image before doing the heat embossing. After the glaze was cracked, I sponged River Rock ink onto it to define the cracks a little better.

I love the aged, vintage look that this technique gives to an image. If you haven't done cracked glass, give it a try -- you'll be glad you did! I'll have one final Halloween project to share with you tomorrow, so I hope you'll stop back to visit ! :)

Sweet & Simple Baby Card

Hello! I hope you are having a good week so far! I wanted to share a card I made for my cousin's baby shower. Here's the story behind it. Her husband, when they were dating, starting calling her "Sweet Pea." So, that theme popped up a few times during her wedding shower. Her sister (and Matron of Honor) gave her a shirt that has "Sweet Pea" on it, and she was wearing it in the photo they took for their Christmas card last year. Now, she's pregnant with twins! I couldn't help myself -- I reached for my Green Thumb set from Papertrey Ink, knowing this image and sentiment were in it. I re-inked just the "s" after stamping the sentiment, so I could turn "sweet pea" into "sweet peas." Ahhh, the joy of clear stamps! :)

I wanted to keep the card sweet and simple and let the images be the focal point. I hope that's what I achieved! I plan to have a color challenge card posted later today, so stop back! Have a great day!
