Owl Punch, Using Old Stuff

Well, saw my owl punch sitting on my shelf and thought wow let me use that old punch.  I had seen something like this on Pinterest so thank you Pinterest for the idea.  I also used a die cut I got at A C Moore ( hate they are going out of business) for very little, a Love Nichole feather die.  It seemed to match the theme of the card.  Alway remember to look at the old stuff. You can really make some great cards out of them.  Sentiment came from an old stamp-set by SU called Happiest Birthday Wishes.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Monday!

Bold Butterfly Framelits card

Yet another card!  Yes, I have been stamping more lately and even posting what I have stamped.  I am trying to go back and use some of my items that I have not used in a while and in doing so, use some of the Designer Paper I have stashed and boy to I have a lot.  With this one I used the Bold Butterfly Framelits by SU and stamp set Happiest Birthday Wishes.

Sketch 315- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Hello all!  Today is my granddaughter's birthday and we celebrated her birthday while she was at my house this weekend.  They headed back to Virginia yesterday.  It was a nice weekend.

 

So now to share the card I made for her.  I of course used our Monday Lunchtime sketch to make her birthday card along with the card you can record that is on the stamping up clearance rack.  So my husband and I recorded her a happy birthday message.

 

Now more about the card.  Here is the outside!

 

 

And now for the inside.  She is a cheerleader and loves it, so I found a coloring page on the internet and using my digital studio, fit it to the size I needed and made the inside salutation using the text mode and one of the digital punches.  I then printed it and colored it in to match the paper.

 

 

So what do you think?  Isn't it just the cutest.  Well I think it is.

 

Also I bought her and Origami Owl Pendant, chain and charms.  When you get them, you get this cute little box to put it in.  So I also had to add a little Happy Birthday (Perfect Punches stamp set) and Ribbon to the box and here is how it looked.  The Stampin' up! colors worked so well with the color of the box.

 

 

And one more photo with the card.

 

 

I will say she loved it and I am so glad.

 

So anyway hope you enjoyed the post for today. 

 

Got to get to work, so Hope your Monday is blessed!  Remember to check out the other post of our DT team over at our Monday Lunchtime Sketch blog!

 



Clean & Simple Birthday

Happy HUMP Day everyone!  I wanted to share my card for the Clean & Simple Challenge this week.  I really liked their sketch and I knew it would be a quick card so quick it was and used some of my scraps that have been laying around.  I kind of went a little crooked on the placement of the designer paper, but it is still a fund and cute card.  Sorry about the color.

 

 

Now the inside is also fun!

 

 

I decided to use some of my old Designer Paper as I have drawers full of it.  I think we all do.

Happy Birthday Summer Card

 

How cute is this?  My Son-in-laws birthday is July 15th and we are headed out of town to a couple of amusement parks which he loves.  Actually my daughter is moving this coming week to Virginia and so we will be visiting her and going to Bush Gardens and Kings Dominion.  So I thought this card was perfect for his birthday plus it goes along with this weeks theme at Late Night Stampers, Summer Showcase!  So this does showcase some of the things we can do in the Summer.  I also used the sketch from Clean & Simple this week.  How great is that?

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

And now for the inside where I used two retired stamp sets!

 

 

Perfect for this birthday!  I held on to this roller coaster for the purpose of amusement parks which we love!

LNS Challenge / TSSC254 Monday Lunch Time Sketch

 

Good Monday Morning and welcome to this weeks LNS Challenge along with this weeks TSSC Monday Lunch Time Sketch.  Again I decided to combine the two challenges as I did the card on Friday Night just to make sure it would be done.  I knew I had a busy weekend ahead and so glad I did.  The challenge for LNS this week was to go Masculine.  So I decided that I would use the stamp set called Clock Works.  I bought it specifically for a masculine card and have used it a few time.  It just works so well for masculine.  This is also a very CAS car as it is only one layer with just the center added.  And the sketch that Mary Jo had for us this week was just perfect for this stamp set.

 

Here is a close up of the center of the card!

 

 

You can see here more of the detail of the card and also more of the mistakes, right!!! 

 

And another view of the side of the card!

 

 

Side views always show you the depth of the card when you have popped items up, like the clock and the birthday sentiment.

 

And yes I did the inside and used two different stamps there to get it to say what I wanted!

 

 

This is wonderful Designer Paper for a masculine card also.

 

All items used are Stampin' Up!

Stamp Sets: Clockworks, Happiest Birthday Wishes (inside), Feeling Sentimental (inside), Party This Way (front sentiment)

Late Night Stamper's Challenge / Color Challenge

This week at Late Night Stampers blog our challenge is to use the colors Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, and Lucky Limeade.  I just realized that I love these colors together.  So pretty!  And as I was trying to decide how to put my card together, I found the sketch at Clean and Simple, decided to make it a Birthday Card from Sunny Challenges and then last but not least I used my new stuff for the SUO Challenge.  Thanks to each one of them for making this a card I love.  And here it is!

I actually embossed the folower and the green leaf with clear embossing powder just to give it a little dimension. And at some point I got a little glitter into my embossing powder, so there is a little shimmer through it.  Mistakes usually make for a nice addition at times!  Now for the side view!

And the inside!  Can't imagine not doing the inside of a card!  And the envelope!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a blessed Monday!

Tea Cup Birthday

When I saw the sketch over at Clean & Simple, I thought wow that is a hard one.  But once I thought about it for a while, I knew I wanted to use this stamp set ,"Tea Shoppe".  So I got out my paper and went to work.  And this is what came of it.  I just love how it turned out and I love a mostly white card with just a little color.  So I was pleased with the outcome. 

Now here is a side view of the card!

And here is the inside of the card!

Really a easy card to do and so simple.  I guess that is why it is called clean and simple!

Delicate Doilies meet Sketch Frenzy Friday

Well since I had already cut out these wonderful little doilies, I just decided t use the same paper for my card today that I had out for the one I posted a couple of days ago.  It is retired, but we have to use up all that paper anyway, so a good way to do it.  The card today was inspired by Sketch Frenzy Friday and again I went clean and simple.  How great is that?  Love those clean and simple cards.

Here is a side view of the card!

I just take pictures from every angle so you can see it all.  And of course I try to always do the inside of the card, another way to get rid of all that stored up paper.

I am doing a lot of birthday cards as I am giving them to the people in our ladies group along with family.  So it takes quite a few to keep up.

Stamping 411 sketch

Well, I was finally able to take a photo of this one card I made this weekend.  My life just seems to get busier and busier, but I am thankful to be able to handle it with God's help.  My Card today was inspired by the Stamping 411 sketch.  I was excited to be able to make it a clean and simple style card.  I was also able to use another one of my new items.  Don't you just love new items?  This one is a Sizzlits L die called Delicate Doilies and there are 3 of them on the die.  This one is the medium size die.  Just perfect for this card.

Here is a side view of the card!

And of course you always have to do the inside.

This is a way also to be able to use up some of that Designer paper you have laying around.  And, I must say I have quite a bit.  So I am trying to use more of it.
