Recycled Art

Just for future reference, if you are ever in need of a last minute Valentine box this little number took us about an hour probably.  Dug through the recycling, found this giant plastic cheese puff container from my son's birthday party in January and added some patterened paper, some ribbon and a little bling.  Voila!  Bonus:  matching crinkled paper strips for gift boxes that was had laying around just happened to match!  

 Had to have her name on it so it wrapped around the other side.  Letters courtesy of the Cricut. 

Here is one of the layouts I completed in January.  I've since done about 3-4 more so that's what you'll be seeing next probably.  Kept this one pretty clean and simple mostly because of lack of MOJO and inspiration, and a number of pictures to fit in.  My journaling isn't all that exciting so I won't bother retyping it, but the note on the red piece is kind of funny.  This was my dad's birthday present and he kept teasing my son asking him what it was, who repeatedly said "I'm not tellin' Papa, it's a surprise!".  However, my then 2.5 year old daughter blurts out "It's a gun! It's a gun!"  LOL!!  We've not trusted her with many surprises since then.  :)

Cardstock, label die (in red) and embossing folder for texture on trees is all by SU.  Letters and trees cut out with Cricut. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Mixed Bunch & Punch

Hope you are up for another card using Mixed Bunch and the coordinating punch because here it is.  This time I clear embossed the elegant flower design before punching it out for some added detail to this otherwise fairly simple card.   I love those antique brads and especially think the style works nicely with this flower image! 

Here's a closeup shot- hoping to show the embossing detail better.  Of course I can't possibly finish a card without my trusty Big Shot and at least one embossing folder or die!  Here I added the framed tulip frame over both the River Rock and the Early Espresso layers. 

Want a TIP on how to emboss without having the Craft ink??  Ink your stamp in Versamark first then whatever color of classic ink you want.  There will be just enough sticky to catch your embossing powder!  Works every time! 

Thanks for visiting!!

Mixed Birthday Bunch

Remember my mention of a new photo editing software a few weeks ago?  Well, it can't work miracles, I learned today.  To result in a beautiful picture you must start with something a step up from so-so, as you can see.  Of course this Movers & Shapers window deal makes taking a nice photo a tad difficult as well.  But you get the idea. 

This new set, Mixed Bunch, with coordinating Blossom punch is FUN to play with!  I just wish I had a punch (other than circle) to punch out the smaller flowers in the set.  You can see that I tried to use the Bojo Blossoms punch for the uppermost flower but obviously it isn't a perfect fit.  Here's another attempt...

It actually looks like Crumb Cake here but it is River Rock.  You'll notice a series of birthday cards over the next few days- I'm trying my darndest to work out a Birthday Bonanza class pretty soon.  I'll get there, I promise... just no promises as to when. 

Thanks for visiting today!

You're Welcome??

Welcome!  Who would I send this to?  Someone new in my life?  A family of a new baby?  Thought about putting "home" below "welcome" but to be honest, I don't know of anyone away who will be returning soon.  Then I thought I could add "you're" above welcome but that's just silly.  Who sends a "You're welcome" card.  LOL! 

Either way, I'm sure someone will find this in their mailbox someday.  I certainly enjoyed making it.  I was insppired by a card on page 20 in the current Occasions mini catalog.  I changed up the colors and the stamps but kept the layout pretty much identical.  Couldn't resist adding that embossed background to my card.  But what drew me to the layout in the place were those tiny little pearl-clad flowers floating off the top and bottom edges of the main image.  

As promised, here is a picture of the Valentine my daughter passed out to her classmates last Friday.  We made 26 of them and this one was left over.  I meant to photo all 26 as they are much more impressive that way... but I missed the opportunity so this is what you get.  The skinny sleeves are from SU- 50 in a pack.  We've done a number of projects with these and will have 5 or so left over!  I just photographed her Valentine box that we had fun with so I'll try to post that tomorrow. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

World Got a Present

Hello world!  I'm happy to be blogging 2 whole days in a row! 

 I've got another card that I'm pleased-as-punch to share with you today.  Playing with the current (yes, it is still current!) MOJO sketch.  It's kind of a shabby-whimsical-vintage look.  Well, maybe not so vintage. 

Anyway, I had fun messing around with this new stamp set called Up in the Air.  I just ADORE this particular image.  In fact, in case you hadn't noticed it (the flowers) is available as a Decor Element in the regular catalog on page 233!  I have it on my laptop (in Real Red) and LOVE it. Check it out:

 

Other new-to-me stuff I used include:  Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess set on p. 10) for the inside and outside sentiments, my Lots of Tags Sizzlits for the label shape and patterned paper from Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB).  Ooh yeah, also the Adorning Accent Edgelit on the Old Olive piece at the bottom.  

Hope you like it!  I've got a special friend to send it to belatedly.  Not mentioning any names since it is still sitting here on my desk. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Maybe, just maybe I'll be back real soon with a scrapbook layout or two (completed 1 and have had one in progress for weeks now) and some Valentine stuff.  Have a great weekend!

~Kristin

PS- Yes, I did the inside up as well (I know you are supposed to be calling me out on that resolution of sorts) but it is very simple and plain and didn't photograph that great so I left it out.

Works Every Time!

Nineteen days.  That's how long I've been un-blogged.  Sorry 'bout that.  I've done some crafting here and there, bits and pieces.  But this winter hibernation mode has sunk in and I'm barely getting the necessities done on a daily basis.  Let alone photographing and blogging stuff.  Nothing like a new box of Stampin' Up! goodness to get ya going again!  Works every time.

Love this sketch from Create With Connie & Mary... loved the colors too so that was my inspiration for this one.  Played around with my new Labels Collection Framelits and the SAB stamp set Fresh Vintage.  Oh, and my new Adorning Accents Edgelits.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the Occasions Mini Catalog good through April 30th.

Here's a quick peek at the inside.  And a view of the sketch from CCMC.  Isn't it cute?  Thanks for stopping by!

On the topic of Valentines

Hello hello hello!  Right back at ya with yet another Valentine.  Funny, I don't send many... I probably have a stash of Valentine's I've made over the years and never sent.  I should send them- there are a few people I love.  Or I could just sign them and slip them under a few pillows.  Hmmm, like that idea. 

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I used a sketch today.  Yep.  Isn't it fun?  I'm all about asymetrical so it spoke to me.  You should see all the sketches I DON'T use.  Seriously, there are tons out there.  I only bring you the best.  :)  This one is from Splitcoast Stampers- they have a sketch every Wednesday. 

Kept this one pretty simple.  A little stampin', little embossin', little punching.  Ooh, did you notice my cupid's arrow??  Can you guess how I did it?  I'm the last one on the bandwagon, but I finally have SU's large snowflake punch.  If you have it punch one and play around- I'm confident you can figure out this arrow.  And YES, I did have to cut some things and glue some things.  It didn't come out exactly like that.  The seam is hidden behind the sentiment piece.

More embossed dots, did you notice??  I have gotten my money's worth out of that embossing folder.  Actually, I didn't even pay for it.  Jackie Pedro sent it to me a LONG time ago! 

As promised, here's the inside all done up.  Fast and easy. Thanks for stopping by!

Picky like that

OK, alright, you guessed it.  I'm addicted to sketch challenges!  Frankly, I like them better than color challenges.  You see, I am picky about colors and combinations of colors and sometimes my mood even determines what colors I want to use. 

(don't ask me what my favorite color is like my daughter does often.  I CAN'T possibly answer that.  Like I tell her, I like all colors, just not together, not for everything and not on certain days)

I kind of get the attitude like "don't tell me what colors to use"... but I'm fine being given a sketch.  In fact, I prefer it.  That probably says something about my brain and ability or lack thereof, to design.  That might also explain why I've resorted to giving YOU a color challenge.  I'm bossy like that. 

So today I've used a sketch from Pals Paper Arts.  Love it- gives me JUST enough to work with.  Gets those creative juices flowing. 

Today I've also used some contraband.  Shhh.  The only reason I'm pointing it out is because otherwise I imagine I'll get someone asking where in the SU catalog are those embossing folders I used.  No where.  Well, not entirely true.  I used my trusty polka dots, so of course you can find them.  And the newer one (the oval frame) called Designer Frames.  Those are in there too.  The others, not so much.  They are in a set of 5 skinny strip folders called With Love by Provocraft.  That's all I'm saying 'bout that. 

And before you ask, here is the inside.  Crummy picture, even with all the editing in the world and beautiful sunlight.  Crappy camera (user).  That center piece is actually Pool Party which is why it looks so off white.

So after all the fuss, what do you think of my color combo?  I had it written down as a future challenge to use here... but got antsy and couldn't resist it.  (Same with yesterday's card!)  It is Concord Crush, Pool Party and Basic Gray.  With white of course. 

Well, I already mentioned almost everything I used in this card but I know some of you aren't reading a word of this (can't blame you) and will just cut to the list of supplies if you even want to know.  So here it is, and thanks for stopping by!

A Punchy Window

OK, so I'm a few days late.  I have a good excuse... I didn't get around to it.  :)  Anyway, this week I'm using the MOJO sketch challenge and if I remember to link it there as soon as I'm done with this post then I might actually make it in time.  (their linky closes on 1/22 so get busy!) 

I've seen this idea to use the Heart to Heart punch in this manner.  Like a window you can see through.  It fits nicely in the big 2 1/2" circle punch which I stamped with the hearts from the Confetti stamp set.  Finished it off with a Printed Designer brad in Calypso Coral, some Vanilla Seem binding ribbon, touches of dazzling diamonds glitter and a paper pierced border.  Oh, can't forget the embossed dots either.  Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, my go to set!

Since I told you to call me out on it I'll just state for the record that I DID do the inside as well, but it is just a few punched hearts bundled in the corner with a touch of the ribbon.  And it didn't photograph well.  So you'll have to trust me. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget, you still have time to play along with my first challenge ever!!!

Owl You Do

Good morning!  How about some cute little owls to start your day?!  Today I'm playing along with the sketch challenge at Create with Connie & Mary as well as the color challenge at Color Throwdown.  My original plan was to use 6 different owl stamps, which I did manage to find in my collection.  But I wasn't sure I'd like the end result so I stuck to just this one from Aviary with the idea that I'd also use my owl punch to make a larger one to be offset.  Well, I couldn't figure out how to get it on the front side so he ended up on the inside.  Voila! 

I've been having fun doing up the insides of my cards lately.  Sure makes it easier when I grab one to send, or when I need to increase my stash to sell at the local consignment shop.  I've even started stamping the envelope to match then slipping them in a clear envelope for safe keeping.  Just stick on my address label and a clear label to show what is stamped on the inside and it's ready for sale. 

Anyone else trying to design the inside as well?  I used to dread it because I was always ready to move on to the next card, but it is SO much more enjoyable to send and receive a card with the inside all cute-ified!  This is one of my New Year's resolutions.  Feel free to call me out on it if I don't keep it up! 

 Thanks for visiting me today!  Stop back tomorrow for my first Valentine of the year!

How 'bout a color challenge??

Good evening my fellow stampers!  Exciting news- I've been playing around and decided to throw a color challenge your way.  I found some time to play this weekend and started a list of some color combos I'd like to use soon.  Then one thing led to another and I figured out how to make a Color Challenge...uh, logo-thingy and even signed up for a free Inlinkz account.  Yes FREE so we won't have thumbnails, but who knows, if everyone plays along then we can progress to the paid stage, right? 

Anyway, the challenge is to use Certainly Celery, Elegant Eggplant and Marina Mist together somehow.  I did on my card above which also features last week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I missed the deadline for the submissions, but still love the sketch! 

I used my fierce Extreme Surfer dude with Extreme Elements for accents. 

Ooh, almost forgot to show you the inside.

Well, can't wait to see who plays along and what you come up with!  I'd love to feature one of you on a future post.  The collection closes on January 30th so you've got two weeks.  On your mark, get set, GO!  (But come back!)

Miss you!

Hello again!  Well, here is another card and another attempt at creative photo editing with my new software.  I'm still learning obviously, it seems a little overprocessed to me, but I think this is an improvement over yesterday. 

Anyway, had fun playing with this sketch from the Clean & Simple blog.  Not sure why, but as soon as I saw it I thought I wanted to use this map paper from the Newsprint collection of Designer Series Paper.  The hot air balloon from Up, Up & Away set came to mind next.  Colors are Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, black and vanilla. 

Did you happen to notice the embossed clouds on the Lucky Limeade card base??  Here's a hint at how I did those.  It's been awhile since I've tried making my own texture plate so took me a few tries, but in a nutshell here's how you do it:  punch or cut out shapes from scrap cardboard (this was a thin piece that I was able to punch).  Next, glue the cutouts to a scrap piece of cardstock.  I use a piece that is exactly 5.5"x4.25 so I can line it up with my card front.  Finally, stack it like this:  Multipurpose platform first (no tabs), then a cutting pad (clear plate), your template with clouds or whatever, cardstock, silicone rubber, then impressions pad. 

You may need to experiment with the "sandwich" a bit to find out what works for you... but please BE CAREFUL, Big Shots are NOT indestructible!  I'd start with a lean sandwich first then make it thicker until it works for you.

Gotta run.  Thanks for stopping by again!

Striving for Clarity

Ooh, looks like I sparked a friendly little debate on my last post.  Thanks for your input- all of it!  For clarification, it is correct to believe that I was not trying to alter my card in anyway, I'm actually quite pleased with it as-is. However, I was trying to increase your viewing pleasure by producing the best possible photograph of my card.  With that said, I do quite agree that my frame or "vignette" as one commenter called it needed to be scaled back a bit.  Wish I knew how because then I think I'd have a happy medium that we might all be able to live with. 

I will continue to play with it and strive for that perfect balance, maybe even with my next post, we'll see.  I do have a card done that I'd like to share, and maybe today is the perfect day to play with my new software since the gloomy rain outside will hinder any chance at a perfect unedited photo. 

In the mean time, thanks again for your constructive criticism and happy stamping!
~Kristin

Playing around

Playing around with a new photo editing software I just downloaded called Photoscape... same card as earlier today.  What do you think?  Even managed to get a watermark on there.  I love the look of the gradiant frame, but is this too much?  Input??

Wherever You Go

Have you heard that the new Occasions Mini catalog is now available?!  That's right, and if I was truly a gung-ho business minded demonstrator (I'm a gung-ho stamper, does that count?) I would be showing you a card today made with all new goodies from this mini... however since I don't have them quite yet, instead I'm showing you a card that was entirely inspired by the first sample in the new Mini (p. 4).  The sample was just gorgeous and I couldn't stop looking at it so I finally sat down to use that to my advantage.  Besides, I'm just glad to be stamping!  {Ooh, I just remembered, the Wisteria Wonder twine IS from this mini!!}

My version uses an old retired set called Asian Artistry.  The colors I kept the same, which are Wisteria Wonder (a current In Color) and Soft Suede with Very Vanilla.  I also used many of the same elements like the Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon and twine, plus the scallop border punch, Lattice embossing folder and even a mini library clip.  I almost added a pearl or two on there then decided to leave well-enough alone. 

So go check out the Mini Catalog, let me know if something grabs your attention that you can't live without, and don't miss that gorgeous sample.  Then let me know what you think (about my card, the sample, your favorite product, whatever!) 

Thanks for visiting!

The Sky's the Limit

Up, Up & Away has been sorely neglected since I got it so I've put it to use here.  I decided to try out the sketch on Splitcoast as well as the Pals Paper Arts color challenge to use Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla.  And a touch of Daffodil Delight for my take on it. 

I made my clouds with the Build-a-Cupcake punch, then ran them through the Big Shot with the dotted embossing folder.  The sun is just a 1 3/8" circle punched out with thin strips of paper glued to the back- easy peasy! 

Here's the sketch!  I can see lots of other possibilities with it as well! 

Ooh, almost forgot:  this is for the SUO Challenge to "Get Punchy" with SU punches!  I think I did just that! 

Thanks for stopping by today,

Cheers for a new year!

Hello again and happy 2012!  I'm ready for a fresh new year and some new stamping projects.  So here goes:  a card and a challenge.  Hope you like!  I've used a new set that is a preview of a Sale-a-Bration set called Fresh Vintage.  Don't you just love those mini silver brads?!  The sentiment is a tried and true set called Well Scripted.  The sketch challenge is from Mojo Monday's sketch blog.  Always love their sketches! 

 Here's a quick shot of the inside! 

Thanks for stopping by again!  I've got another card I made today that I'll save for tomorrow.

Christmas Spirit

Hello again!  I know it's been awhile, and it may be awhile before I'm back with the holidays quickly approaching!  However, I needed a break from the hustle and bustle the other day so sat down to make a quick card while my hubby made dinner.  I grabbed this sketch from Mojo and went to town with it.  Am quite pleased with the end result.  What do you think of this color combo, Pool Party with Basic Gray and Going Gray.  My tree is embossed with white embossing powder for a nice raised and shiny finish.  I wish I had time to make many more of these. 

Here is the inside.  Like it?  Well, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with family and friends.  See you in 2012!

~Kristin

Joyful Christmas Wishes

Running out of time to make Christmas cards so this just might be the last ones I post.  I hope you like them!  This first one is made with the sketch from Splitcoast Stampers.  The main liberty I took with it was to tilt my main image a bit, just for interest.  I've used the tiny jewelry tag for the first time and the "joy" is from a 2005 stamp set called Small Script.  I think I've mentioned that I don't get rid of stamp sets! 

Also showcased on this card is the newer red Glimmer Paper.  This is the first I've cut into it and I love it.  Also love that the Glimmer Brad matches so well.  On the inside I have stamped my biggest "Merry Christmas" in versamark, covered with Heat 'n Stick powder then coated in fine red glitter!  Looks awesome! 

Here's another one... this time I used the Mojo sketch below.  I haven't played along with Mojo for awhile, but this one was nice and simple and worked great for my Gifts of Christmas set. 

Lots of accessories on this one:  Snowflake Sizzlit, Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on the dove, Petal-a-Plenty emossing folder, new Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon and a new Wisteria Wonder dotted brad!  Lots of fun stuff! 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope your holiday planning is going well.  I don't even have a tree yet or any decorations yet.  We'll get there!  Having our football season go 15 weeks has really put me behind. 

~Kristin

A few Christmas cards

Why do I do this?  I finally sat down to make some cards a few weeks back but didn't write down the sketch challenge I was using.  Oh well, it's been so long ago now it doesn't matter, but I'd at least like to show you the sketch.  Maybe with these two versions you'll get the idea!  I had many more in my mind but those didn't happen- not enough time in a day.  These both put to use the old Felt Flurries that SU offered a few years ago.  I had some of the bigger ones left and thought I'd use them up (still have some left!)  This first card is Ol Olive, Soft Suede and the snowflake is Riding Hood Red. 

This one is Sahara Sand, Vanilla, Old Olive (ribbon) and the Riding Hood Red snowflake.  And YES, my sentiment is crooked.  That's what happens when you are suddenly rushed to finish a card.  Didn't take the time to use my Stamp-a-Majig like I usually do. 

So I hope you are having better luck with your holiday shopping and decorating than I am.  I am totally behind and frustrated about now!  Our high school football season just ended this past weekend (our beloved Cats lost a very hard fought game in the State Finals 42-48) so that has put everything on the backburner until now.  Yikes! 

Anyway, I am already thinking ahead to January and planning a Birthday Card class for possibly January 27th.  Pencil it in on your calendar if you are interested (you locals lurkers) then watch for more details after the new year. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Old Friend

Have a few quick Christmas cards for you before I head on out of here.  Anyone remember this cute old set?  I don't own it and don't remember what it is called, but I sold one to a friend a few years back and she didn't mind me stamping a few images to play around with...  just now getting around to doing that! 

Here's another with the same set.  Using a sketch I found, but not sure where right now.  Gotta run.  Have a State Championship football game to attend!  GO CATS!
