VINTAGE VOGUE

Our team finally has a name and now since I am a member of the Rockin', Rollin', Reinkers' team, I learned how to rock and roll this morning. I think this is how I was going to tell you this but I'm not sure if it's exactly what I thought to say at the time I did it. But it was something to this effect. Must be one of my senior moments.




When I started this card I was going to use the Just Believe stamp set and somehow I ended up using Vintage Vogue. I didn't intend to go vintage either but I ended up with that too. Go figure!! However I love the end results.

My base card is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 Naturals Ivory, layered with 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 Soft Suede, and the top layer is 5 x5 from the Elegant Soiree' DSP.

I used the Vintage Vogue and Friends 24/7 stamp sets.

Card stock is: Naturals Ivory, Soft Suede, Elegant Soiree' dsp, Marina Mist

Ink is: Marina Mist and Soft Suede to thwack the edges with a sponge

Accessories are: Decorative Label Punch, Vintage Brads, Scallop Oval Punch and the Large Oval Punch, 1 1/4" Marina Mist Striped Ribbon, Linen thread and dimensionals

I made this card just because I wanted to and then looked at the challenges for this week and decided to enter in 4 of them. They are: Connie and Mary (CCMC113), Mojo Monday (Mojo 153), Stamping 411(SSC166) and last but not least Paper Players (APP#13).

Hope you will check out all these blogs and join in at least one of their challenges. It's so fun to play along.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a blessed Sunday!

The ink is, stamped images with Black Stazon, colored with Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Wild Wasabi, Bordering Blue and Black Markers.

FRIENDS

This card is created for the sketch challenge for this week on Techno Stamper (tssc130). I love these colors together and will use them again many times I'm sure. They are Early Expresso(new), Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry (carried over in-color) and Very Vanilla.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Early Expresso for the main card, Pretty in Pink is 2 1/2 x 5 1/8 Textured cardstock stamped with Rich Razzleberry and the vine from Vintage Vogue. I stamped off each time before I stamped on the pink. The Rich Razzleberry is 2x3 3/4 run through the Big Shot with the Petals of Plenty Embossing Folder. The Very Vanilla layer is 2 1/2 x 3 stamped in Rich Razzleberry with images from the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set. I stamped the small flowers on Very Vanilla with Rich Razzleberry and cut them out and mounted them with pink brads from the now retired Soft Subtles collection. The ribbon is 3/8 inch taffeta Pretty in Pink striped with Rich Razzleberry. The simple sentiment is stamped with Whisper White craft ink. I felt like I had a lot of mojo for this card and am very pleased with how it turned out. If you click on the card you can see everything better. The dark colors make it hard to see the images on the cardstock.

I guess this is one of those days when the creating juices are flowing good and I am really making use of it because tomorrow may be very different. You just never know! Right?

Thanks for stoppin in!

SUMMER

Here I am again with another challenge. This is just my day for creating, I guess. It seems I have to be in the mood for everything I do anymore and some days the moods don't come. Anyway I have created this card for the Mojo Monday challenge(mojo147).

I started with a Old Olive card and layered Riding Hood Red and then Marina Mist run through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. For the squares I also used Daffodil Delight. I used the technique called Direct-to-paper that I learned on Patty's Stampin Spot on the squares and then cut butterflies with the Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Sizzlet and put them on with mini glue dots. I then used the Big Shot and the Scallop Circle #2 Die to cut the Daffodil Delight half scallop circle. I stamped the imagine from Garden from the Heart(retired) in Marina Mist and put a crystal from the Eggs-cellent kit (retired)in each of the scallops to give it a little glitter. I used Very Vanilla 3/8 inch taffeta ribbon under the squares.

Thanks for stoppin in!

PANSIES

I was surfing the blogs I check everyday and forgot I wanted to enter in the challenge this week with Mojo Monday and today is the deadline. So I quickly found a card that I had made in a class with Laurie Gibson and tweaked it some to fit the challenge. I just love these pansies and they look so real.

I used Crushed Curry for the main card and layered it with Perfect Plum. The beautiful background is a window sheet run through the Big Shot with the Petals of Plenty Embossing Folder. I love how the color underneath shows through. It is so striking in real life. I made the pansies with the Butterfly Punch and colored them with markers and then used my aqua painter to blend the colors. Also used the Wide Oval and Scallop Oval Punches for the sentiment. The ribbon is Crushed Curry Polka Dot. Hope you like this as much as I do.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed night!

BEST YET

This card was inspired by the Mojo Monday challenge. I don't understand why I haven't used more Bordering Blue cardstock. It is beautiful on a card especially with some embossing on it. I really love the way this card came out and hope you do to.

I used Naturals White for the main card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I then layered it with a piece of Certainly Celery 41/8 x 5 3/8. I cut my piece of Chocolate Chip 4 1/8 x 5 1/4 then scalloped the bottom with the Scallop Border Punch. The Dusty Durango is 3 1/2 x 5, and the Bordering Blue is 3 3/8 x 4 7/8 and run through the Big Shot with the Finial Press Embossing Folder(I love it and you will too). Next I cut another piece of Naturals White 2 3/4 x 2/3/4 and layered it with a piece of So Saffron 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, stamped with a sentiment from the stamp set Best Yet and run through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder ( I love this one too, so will you). I then cut 3 flowers with the Ex-large Flower Punch from Dusty Durango. I ran them through my crimper several times to break up the fibers so I could separate them into 6 flowers total. I then crunched them up in my hand, smoothed them back out, punched a hole in the center of each with my hole punch and mat set and put a brad in the center to hold them all together. It makes a beautiful flower as you can see ( I love these too). Guess I love a lot of things. I finished it off with 2 strips of Chocolate Chip 5/8 inch Satin Ribbon ( I love this too) WOW!

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed day!
