Happy World Card Making Day!

Hi stampers and happy World Card Making Day!  Make sure to make a card today and send it to someone!  Everyone loves some happy mail so I'm deeming Monday World Card Sending Day :-)  Here at my house instead of cards we'll be making Halloween banners and hopefully I'll be making some cards after my class.  Hopefully because I'm exhausted.  The dog didn't let me get much sleep while I was at my mom's the other night and then I guess I got used to sleeping alone because the Mr. has been in Budapest all week.  I knew it wouldn't be a good night when I went to bed and found him all the way over on my side, ha!!!!

Anyway, I should have planned better and had a card class today but I guess I forgot about WCMD!  Don't forget you can get my exclusive class for FREE online by purchasing the supplies through my online store!

You can find the details HERE!

And now for a LOT MORE stuff!  In honor of the "holiday" I'm going into blogging/sharing overdrive because who doesn't love to look at pretty stuff, right?  And because I'm home and it doesn't take 10 minutes to upload each picture like at the farm, hooray!  First up is a card with one of my all-time favorite sketches!  I think maybe it was a retrosketch but I can't remember.  I'm sure it will look familiar...I use it a lot!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Oh hello
Paper:  Very vanilla, pear pizzazz, afternoon picnic DSP
Ink:  Perfect plum
Accessories:  Subtles candy dots, pear pizzazz taffeta ribbon, very vintage designer buttons, linen thread

I feel a fall version coming on soon ;-)

Next, how about some happy?  I LOVE this stamp as you know and I pretty much love everything about this card!  It's a great way to use the acetate sheet from the DSP too!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Yippie skippie, mosaic madness
Paper:  Whisper white, bermuda bay, summer starfruit, strawberry slush, quatrefancy, in color 2013-2015 DSP stack
Ink:  Bermuda bay, strawberry slush
Accessories:  Chalk talk framelits, large rhinestones, bright candy dots

And now, how about a little bonus in the form of another convention display project?  Yes, I still have lots of those left to share!!!  If you're wondering why all of my display cards are on a little easel it's because they are only card fronts and not whole cards so they don't stand up :-)

And finally SU released yet another nifty product yesterday and I didn't get to share it with the Fab Friday post and being busy with my mom and going to pick up the world traveler and all!  The new Pop & Place kit is a super quick and easy way to add a handmade touch to all your Christmas gifts!  Even if you're not a cardmaker or scrapbooker you can still get crafty with this kit!

HSS 164

Hi stampers!  I'm off to my mom's house for a quick visit before they take me to the airport on Wednesday.  I can't wait to get to SLC and see all my friends...and leave this muggy humidity behind!

And since it's Tuesday that means it's time for a new challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  Love this cool sketch!

And here's my card....I changed up the shape a bit and put my own spin on it because...well just because I felt like being different :-)

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Mosaic madness, a dozen thoughts
Paper:  Whisper white, so safron, coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe
Ink:  So safron, coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe
Accessories:  Mosaic punch, crisp cantaloupe ruffled stretch trim, mosaic embossing folder

It's pretty simple but I didn't want to make it too busy with all the geometric shapes.  I also kept it mailable.  Now head on over to the HSS site and check everyone else's projects out and play along!

Happy stamping!

Where I've been

Hi stampers!  I know, I know....it's been a while.  Well, I've been on vaca in Vegas baby!!!  :-)   I've got stuff to share but I've been lazy and not editing photos or pre-posting and I didn't really want to announce to the world that we were gone :-)  But we are back to the real world now where we have to make our own beds, make our own food and coffee (although I did just make a Starbuck's run, teehee) and go back to work, blah!  And while I wanted to lay out in the sun today and work on the tiny tan I managed to get (which by tan I mean freckles) which will be gone in less than a week I'm sure....it's storming out...so I'll stamp instead!!!!

So, let's hope I can get back into the routine of work and stamping and blogging...even though I wasn't really in the routine for summer yet, ha!

I put together this month's My Paper Pumpkin kit as a little warm up after being "off" so long and now it's onto other things...maybe I'll work on my swap for convention...or maybe just stamp for fun!

And I made this little ditty a while back based off of a card in our demo magazine.  Enjoy!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Mosaic madness, really good greetings
Paper:  Whisper white, coastal cabana, strawberry slush, crisp cantaloupe
Ink:  Coastal cabana, strawberry slush, crisp cantaloupe, pistachio pudding
Accessories:  Mosaic punch, itty bitty punch pack, basic pearls and rhinestones

And don't get a crick in your neck looking at it....I must have when I too the photo:-)  Sorry!

Happy stamping!  And vacation if you're going anywhere :-)

Fab Friday 20

It's time for a new challenge over at Fab Friday!  In honor of the new catalog we are featuring the five new in colors which I LOVE!  They are seriously so luscious!!!!!

Paper:  Whisper white, coastal cabana, pistachio pudding
Ink:  coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe, strawberry slush, pistachio pudding, baked brown sugar

Happy stamping!

Done and done

Hi stampers!  The display samples have left the building!  I got them done Sunday evening and shipped them out yesterday!  Of course it didn't go as planned....I closed up the box with the last of my packing tape which was JUST long enough to work...phew.  Well, of course then I sat down to finally stamp for fun and what was on my desk?  Yep, an errant display card that should have been in the box, lol!  So, I had to grab some more tape at lunch yesterday and get that sucker in there!  Nothing can ever be simple, huh?  :-)

So, now what?  I guess I get to stamp "for fun" if I can, lol!  I do need to work on my one swap I'm doing for convention!  I usually have an idea of what to do but I got nothing this year....yet!  Even with the looming deadline I have managed to sneak a few just because projects in there.  I just recently found the Case Study challenge and I really like the clean and simple sketches!  It's too late for the challenge but I used it to inspire this card.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Mosaic madness
Paper:  Whisper white, coastal cabana
Ink:  Crushed curry, coastal cabana, strawberry slush
Accessories:  Vintage faceted buttons, whisper white baker's twine

Now, if I can just play along with the challenge on time:-)  I've been VERY bad at that lately!  But hopefully now that I've got a whole bunch of new stuff I can get with the program!

Happy stamping!

Tardy Tuesday

Hi stampers!  Seems this could be a regular post for me....Tardy Tuesday....when I miss the deadline for challenges, lol!  This is one I threw together pretty quick yesterday afternoon after a marathon session for display stamper projects.  It was nice to just stamp "for fun" for a while.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Mosaic madness, really good greetings
Paper:  Whisper white, coastal cabana, strawberry slush
Ink:  Coastal cabana, strawberry slush
Accessories:  Mosaic punch, mosaic EF, basic rhinestones

That's it, clean and simple...just a little late.  Oh well :-)

Happy stamping!

Gee, thank you!

Hi stampers!  I just want say thank you for all the kind comments and thoughts and prayers about the test I had done today.  It wasn't pleasant but wasn't horrible like some people said (and it's never comforting when the doctor leads with and reminds you MULTIPLE times to take 800mg of ibuprofen, lol) and the results were normal so that's good!  I'm home resting now and hope to be back to my usual self/routine this afternoon :-)  But really, you guys are awesome!

So, here's a little thank you card from you to me :-)

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Mosaic madness, gee thanks
Paper:  Whisper white, Bermuda bay
Ink:  Melon mambo, daffodil delight, Bermuda bay
Accessories:  Mosaic embossing folder, mosaic punch, itty bitty punch pack, basic rhinestones

Not only does the mosaic punch coordinate with the mosaic madness set but the little four petal shape from the itty bitty punch pack goes with it too!  I love matching stamps and punches!  I love these colors too!  I based them loosely off the mosaic DSP since it's so bright!

Anyway, thank you guys again!  I have the best readers, fans, and friends!

Hugs and happy stamping!

More mosaic madness

Hi stampers!  Yep, I'm a woman obsessed.  You all know I've been obsessed with Oh, hello, right? Oh and then there's the paper pumpkin welcome kit stamp...... Well you can add mosaic madness to the list of my fixations!  I can't stop using it!  It's just so fun and modern and who doesn't love a stamp set that not only has a matching embossing folder but a punch too!?!?!

So, here is a really CAS card.  I think a lot of people have a hard time seeing sets like this with lots of pieces and parts for simple cards but it's easy!  Just plop a couple on your card and there ya go!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Oh, hello, mosaic madness, my paper pumpkin welcome kit
Paper:  Whisper white, crisp cantaloupe
Ink:  Sahara sand, crisp cantaloupe, coastal cabana
Accessories:  Mosaic punch, basic rhinestones

Guess I'm also obsessed with the new in colors!  I really do love them.  They look amazing with so many of our colors and with each other!  This color combo came straight from my scrap pile!  I tend to have a pile of scraps over by my paper cutter and I just throw all my scraps in a big pile (until it gets too big and drives me nuts then I put them away) but a lot of times when I look over I see great color combos!  So, these three colors were sitting together and they looked so pretty!  Don't forget to glance at your scraps if you're in need of a color combo!

Happy stamping!

Hey there stamp-a-majig

Hi stampers!  I've been getting friendly with my stamp-a-majig again today after getting the mosaic madness set.  Believe it or not this card went together pretty quick and I kind of love it!!!!  And I kind of love this color combo too!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Mosaic madness, my paper pumpkin welcome kit
Paper: Whisper white, coastal cabana
Ink:  Calypso coral, coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe
Accessories:  Mosaic punch, basic rhinestones

Too bad my poor stamps will be lonely today since I'm getting my hair done (since I had to put that off on Thursday because my pre-order box was coming, ha...priorities people...priorities) and then working late.  Maybe we can play tomorrow night!

Happy stamping!
