Sketch 288 - Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to this weeks Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  Now we still have our color challenge going on at our late night stampers blog and would love for you to join us and you can use the sketch that Mary Joe has prepared for us this week.  It is fabulous and I decided to go silver and red and a little flashy!  Love the flashy on this card.  So without further ado, here it is!

 

 

You know I have always hoarded this brushed silver paper by Stampin' Up!, but decided to use it for this card.  The same with the red shimmer paper, but with this card, I put them together and I love it.  And then I embossed the "oh what fun" with red embossing powder.  I love the outcome.  Just beautiful if I must say so myself.

 

Here is a side view.

 

 

And the inside is OK!

Project 1 for Bazaar/Craft Show

Good Morning!  This is my first share for some of the things I will be selling at the Craft Show on November 9th.  I am trying to make everything as easy as possible so I can get more things done.  I am working every night in my craft room and my dear husband is being so supportive.  He also knows it is something I enjoy.

 

I will be selling cards in packs of 6 with the envelopes and here is what the cards will look like.  I made 18 of these so I have 3 packs and the cost will be $10/pack.  I know I always want to know what things go for and so the reason I am adding the price.

 

Now with this card I did color the packages different and also the sentiment, but I decided to go easier and do them all the same color, which you will see below.

 

 

Here is another which I cut the gifts out and popped everything up, which was also time consuming and decided to go with just stamping the image.

 

 

And this is what the inside of all of them looks like!  Sorry the photo is a little blurred.

 

 

And here they are all packaged and ready to go.  No ribbon or anything as I wanted to keep price as low as possible.

Clean & Simple Christmas

Well I am back from vacation and went to see Mom today and now back and decided to play a little bit with some new stuff.  My husband started his football season back tonight, so for the next 3 months I will be a Friday Night Football widow.  But I have found in the past that is my best time to create.  I don't feel like I have to sit next to him or watch TV with him.  But, I will tell you that by the end of the season I am ready for the Friday nights to be back to normal.

 

My new stuff is Christmas so, I guess you could say that I am starting my Christmas cards in August which is the norm for me.  I don't usually just sit down and make 50 of the same card, which might be easier than doing it this way, but it is a lot of fun.  So here is my card using the Clean & Simple sketch that was posted today!

 

 

I am using the new festive flurry framelits and the festive flurry stamp set.  I always say this, but I am going to love these.  I have great ideas already.

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

And the inside!

 

 

And the card with the envelope using the envelope framelit.  I am definitely going to love this especially for Christmas!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope to post something new later.  Who knows what I can come up with.

Sunny Challenges Sketch/Christmas Card

Good Morning and hope your week is going great.  Thought I would share with you a card I did a few nights ago to go with the sketch at Sunny Challenges.  During July I was so busy that I did not get to participate in their Christmas in July Challenge, so I decided to do my first Christmas card for the year with this weeks sketch from Sunny Challenges.  So here it is!

 

 

Now is this not the cutest stamp set ever!  Well not ever, but I do love it and it is available now in the new Winter Catalog and called "Wishing You."  I used every stamp in the set which you will See the rest on the inside.

 

Here is a side view.

And now, check out this cute envelope I made using the new envelope liners framelits.  I am going to love them.
