World Card Making Day!

Wow!!! It has been forever since I have posted anything! Crazy how time flies!!! How have you all been? We have had one crazy summer at our house! I sure hope things slow down soon!

So did you create anything for World Card Making Day? I would love to see what you created! Please leave a link in the comments so I can check it out! My sister is having a contest over on her blog, "The Daily Ink" for World Card Making Day! Check it out! She has some fun prizes!

I got the chance to stamp today and made a card for a baby shower that I was going to!
And I am going to post it for the contest too! I got to use some of my new goodies I just got from Stampin' Up! I used the Puns from the Past and Friends 24-7 sets. I used pink pirouette (retired) chocolate chip, and whisper white card stock. I used chocolate chip and close to cocoa classic ink. As for punches, I used the corner rounder punch and the eyelet border punch. For the finishing touches I used Stampin' dimensionals, pretty in pink grosgrain ribbon and I sponged the edges with close to cocoa ink! So what do you think?

I plan to post a few more things very soon! I can't wait to show you how I store my small scraps! So look for a few more posts from me!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!

Wild About You Baby Gift Set

I just love the Wild About You stamp set! It is retiring today! So if you do not have it yet! Go to my Stampin' Up website and order it! It is so versatile! What I am showing you today is the baby gift my sister-in-law Gaylyn and I made for a very close friend of ours! The new baby's theme was jungle and the mommy wanted bright colors. We had so much fun making these items! We wanted to keep the up with the consistency so we used all the same colors for each of our projects. The inks we used were both craft and classic ink pads and markers depending on the project. The colors we used were summer sun, pumpkin pie, glorious green, real red, perfect plum, close to cocoa, chocolate chip, old olive, garden green, certainly celery, baja breeze, and pacific point. The stamps sets that we mainly used were Wild About You and Season of Friendship.

Enjoy!

First up is the clock! I made this from a clock that I bought at Wal-Mart. I used made my own face out of whisper white card stock. I stamped the animals and leaves in various colors with my stamp-a-ma-jig. I then made the numbers with retired set called Doodle Numbers. I punched them out with the 1 3/8 circle punch. I then punched out real red cs with the 1 3/4 circle punch and layered the two.

This is a handy little bag I embellish that I got from Wal-Mart. The picture in the front doubles as a pocket too! I stamped the images with craft ink onto muslin fabric. I then sewed the trim on and then sewed the pocket to the bag. I also used a fabric marker to outline the images to make them pop a little bit more.

For this side of the bag I used chocolate chip craft ink and the retired alphabet set called Headline Alphabet. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to get the letters in the right place. I also used the leaves from a Season of Friendship.

I had a lot of fun making this tray that I bought at Michael's. First I painted it white with acrylic paint. I had to do several coats. I stamped all of the images and sponged on the grass. I used the retired set, Headline Alphabet, again. The sun was a circle that I cut out. I am not sure where this paper came from? We, I say we but my husband did it, then sprayed on a sealant to protect the tray. I also tried on real red grosgrain, baja breeze striped ribbon, and orange ribbon from Michael's to the handles.

The rest of the gift items were made by my sister-in-law Gaylyn! I just love what she came up with!!!

For this write-on board, she used a picture frame. She stamped the images and added the sun (just like the sun from the tray) to a sheet of whisper white card stock. She layered that on to baja breeze designer series paper. She then tied a piece of baja breeze striped ribbon to the frame, placed the glass back in, then the picture, and then the backing of the frame. She then took a white board marker and wrote on the glass. What a fantastic idea!! Loving it!


This is a door hanger that she made out of two pieces of chipboard. One piece is the backing and the other is the frame. She made the frame by using the top note die. Between the two layers is the picture she stamped. She then added the jumbo eyelets with the crop-a-dile to each side of the top. She added the orange ribbon from Micheal's.

These are the two lovely little onesies that she stamped on! The first one she stamped with craft ink and then used a fabric puff pen in brown to outline it. She added leaves to the sleeves.

This is the other little one she made using the same techniques. She also lined this one with a fabric marker to make the image pop! She also added a button for the ear! How adorable right!Don't you just love the back with all the different color birdies!

Our friend loved the gifts! She was so excited!

Thanks for stopping by and reading this incredibly long post and I wish you a very creative day!!!

A Baby gift - Onesies

These are the onesies that I created for my new little nephew!! I used several fun Stampin' Up! sets. The inks I used are Palette inks from Papertrey. They are a hybrid ink. I used spring moss, burnt umber, summer sunrise, and lemon tart. Before you can start to stamp on fabric, you need to wash it and them dry it without fabric softener. The stamp your images with some sort of cardboard so the ink does not bleed through. Then you will need to heat set your stamped images. I did this by placing the onesies in the dryer for 15 minutes on high heat.

For the one on the left, I used the bear from the retired set called Happy Camper. The star stamp and the saying are from Under the Stars. For the middle one, I used the Bronc Buster set. For the one on the right, I used the Bugs and Kisses set. I also stamped on the back side and the sleeves of each of them too! Oh and I have to add that I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me position my stamps just right!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!

Precious New Baby

I made this card using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #57 (WSC57). She has great sketch challenges every Friday!!

I used the Fun and Fast Notes stamp set from Stampin' Up! For card stock I used Close to Cocoa, Whisper White, and the retired in color Soft Sky. The dp is also retired. It is from the set called Spring Fling. ( I love this set of papers! Great colors!) I used chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and ink. I colored the carriage with soft sky ink and a blender pen along with a certainly celery marker. I also used the dazzling diamonds and 2-way glue pen. I used the scallop edge punch and the word window punch. I used the chocolate chip marker to create the dots on the top. I also use dimensionals to pop the main image up!!

A Sweet Baby Boy Card

This is a little card I made for a friend of mine who just had a precious little boy a few days ago!

All products are from Stampin' Up! I used whisper white and blue bayou card stock. For the background I used a piece of the retired Wintergreen dsp. The carriage is from the Fun & Fast notes set. The saying is from the retired hostess Riveting set. I stamped both images with Blue Bayou classic ink. On the saying I stamped off the inner circle to get the color lighter. I also used my stamp-a-ma-jig to place this inner circle just right. Then I used my blender pen to color in some of the spot with the same ink. I used dazzling diamonds and my 2-way glue pen to create some fun accents on the carriage and saying. I punched out the saying with the 1 1/4 circle punch. Then layered it on top of a piece of blue bayou cs that I punched out with the designer label punch. I added a piece of blue bayou double stitched ribbon to the main image, then layered it with more blue bayou cs. I used my ticket corner punch too. To create the scallops on the bottom of the background I used my corner rounder punch.

One of my new favorite colors is blue bayou! Can you tell! Thanks for looking! Enjoy!
