Goodmorning stampers,

Here is another sketch challenge that I like to do...

This one was really fun for me. Its always hard coming up with masculine cards but with these new extreme sports stamp sets its a breeze!! Plus the sketch just was fun to do!!

Stamp sets: extreme snowboarder, Extreme elements, so cool

Paper: going grey, basic grey, brilliant blue, black, whisper white

I used the clear circle sizzix die from the big shot, also the movers and shapers star die

I used both small and large star punches and silver brads.

STAMPING 411 #117

Hi there ladies,

Here is my submission for the stamping 411 challenge.

My daughter will be 10 next month and she loves skulls (all the rage right now!!) So I started with this stamp set to make a card for her. I wasnt sure at first...I had a hard time with this sketch for some reason, but I like how it came out and most importantly I think she will too. My other daughter (her twin) saw it and thought it was "really cute" and wanted to know where her card was.... you saw it last week for the challenge (she's all about monkeys) but I told her I didnt have one yet!!hehe such a sneaky mom!

Anyway enough babble:

Stamp set: Just jawing

Paper: so safron, old olive, brilliant blue, melon mambo, and the tall tales DSP paper

I cut out the skull and then recut out the teeth in white. I used chunky glitter on the eyes and cut out an extra flower for the tip of the birthday hat.

POST IT HOLDERS

Good morning all,

So here is another project I worked on last weekend trying to use up some retired paper and some of my gazillion supplies I have accumulated for projects I just know I'll do someday! No one else does that right???

I made a couple of post-it note holders using some plastic 4x6 frames.

I

For the first one I used the simple flower embosslit for the big shot

Paper: barely banana, bashful blue, and kraft the DSP is from last. years sellabration and so is the ribbon

The second one i used the butterfly die for the big shot and the finial press embossing folder ( I also used another brands on the bigger butterfly) and the little leaves sizzlit die.

The colors are chocolate chip, groovy guava and certainly celery. I don't remember which DSP this is...but its pretty old because it is only one sided.

I haven't put a post it on it yet because I am going to try to find one that sort of matches the guava!

Look how pretty the butterflies look embossed! Can you tell that I absolutely love my big shot!!!

Gift bags

Goodmorning stampers,

I have been working on a ton of projects, trying to use up some of my (beautiful) retired DSP paper. I am such a hoarder...I buy it, then it just sits in the cabinet because I'm afraid I will run out!! How silly is that!

Anyway, the next few posts

will probably have retired DSP and I apologize for that but it really is the idea that counts, right!

These are a couple of gift bags and 3x3 cards to go with. I will be putting a gift card in each for a birthday party my girls are going to. I loved these colors last year!!!! This is the fancy favor box/bag for the big shot. I also used the cherry blossom embosslit. The colors are Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss and the DSP is Hawaii Papaya.

If you look closely you can see I used the reverse image of the cherry blossom on the cards!! never waste anything!

Good mornin to ya!
Well here I am with another sketch challenge...I think Im totally addicted! It really does help to spark my creativity.

This is a new sketch challenge blog for me and I just love everyones submissions so far!
I used the flight of the Butterfly stamp set and teeny tiny sentiments
Rich razzleberry, old olive, whisper white and Cottage Wall DSP.
I also used the new butterfly punch (luv it!) and razzleberry polka dot ribbon.

SWEET CENTERS

Goodmorning stampers,
I finally got a chance to play with my new sweet centers stamp set and treat cups. My club made the halloween card last week and the flower card was another sample for them to see the product!
The treat cups are really cute but take alittle practice to get them even on the cards...it wasnt until after I made these that I thought about putting a small piece behind the candy first and then adhering to the next layer.
