Challenge

I am finally back again. It seems there are just too many distractions lately from stamping. I must get back in the grove again. I really miss it when I have to do other things. I am so thankful for challenges that keep me on track better. This one is the challenge for this week from Stacy's Curtain Call, Act 41. Terrific colors and I just love them together.

Stamp Set: Elements of Style

Cardstock: Crumb Cake base card, Night of Navy DSP layer, Marina Mist layer, then two small layers, Night of Navy and Whisper White

Ink: Crumb Cake, Marina Mist and Night of Navy

Access: Big Shot with Finial Press Embossing Folder and dimensionals

Thanks for Stoppin In!

Have a Blessed Day!

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!

Have a Blessed night!

BACK TO CHALLENGES

It feels good to be back creating and doing challenges again. My creative juices are finally flowing. To start the day I have met the color challenge from Curtain Call 38. I so enjoy using the Big Shot with the embossing folders as you can see. I really don't know how I lived without it before. It makes my cards easier and so much prettier.

For this card I used:

Cardstock: Very Vanilla for the base card, layered with Rich Razzleberry run through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and Certainly Celery run through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The scallop circle is Pumpkin Pie, (I used my mat pad and hole punch to punch holes around the scallop)and the layer under thank you is Regal Rose and the Thank You is stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Very Vanilla.

I then layered a piece of 1 1/4" Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and tied a piece of Pumpkin Pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon over it. Then layered my scallop circle on it with dimensionals. The flower and leaves are from the Flower Fancy stamp set stamped in Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a Blessed Day!
