FS147 - MrsBoz!!!

Today I had the chance to play this week's FS challenge!!  This week's honour goes to CarollAnne (aka MrsBoz) - Congratulations CarollAnne!!!  :)  Now I know most of my Northern Hemisphere friends are starting to get chilly by now, but it is Spring here (and a very hot Spring at that - we even had a storm with hail yesterday!) so I felt like making something bright and colourful!

I chose CarollAnne's Stampin B's Challenge #7 to case and changed the colours, stamps and border punch and kept the layout and theme.

I started with a base of white and layered with Riding Hood Red, more White and some Bella Rose DSP.  The middle panel is white punched on both sides with the Fiskars Eyelet Lace Border Punch, Riding Hood Red and more Bella Rose DSP.  The main panel is Riding Hood Red (cut with Label 1 Nestabilities and corners pierced) and popped up on top of that is gold cut with circle nestabilities.  The centre has been stamped in Real Red using JustRite's new Decorative 2" Round Wide Borders and Just A Note Sets.  I finished off by adding three Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to the bottom.

Stamps -  2" Round Wide Decorative Borders, Just A Note (JustRite)
Paper - White, Gold, Riding Hood Red, B2" Round Wide Decorative Borders,ella Rose DSP
Ink - Real Red
Accessories - Label 1, Large Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Fiskars Eyelet Lace Embossing Border Punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Foam Tape, Kaisercraft Snow Pearls

Golden Anniversary

Hello everyone!!!  I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Today I had to make a Golden Wedding Anniversary card for a friend of mine to give to her parents and I must confess this turned out nothing like I planned!!!  I started off with an idea in mind, but this card took on a life of it's own!!!  :)  In the end the recipe went something like this.....

A base of Very Vanilla, layered with black (one edge punched with Fiskars 'Lace' border punch), gold gloss card and some Stemma Foil paper.  I added another strip of black and more paper across the bottom and attached some black satin ribbon.  The main panel has been made using the Label 9 to cut some gold card (have you noticed how much I love this Label 9 set!!??  LOL!!), topped with black and Very Vanilla stamped using the 2" Font and Center Set and the Celebrations Demi Phrases.  The '50' in the centre was made using the Trompe Font Set and stamped in Versamark, embossed with Gold EP and cut and popped up.  The date was made using the 2" Font and Center Set and the Rectangle Wooden Stamper and then cut out using the Fancy Tags Spellbinders.  To finish I added two corners and several Blush Kaisercraft Pearls.

Silver Wedding Anniversary

Hello everyone!  Today's card was actually based on a Sketch For You To Try challenge that I didn't have the chance to play at the time.  I was asked to make a Silver Wedding Anniversary card and thought this sketch would be perfect for what I needed.

I started with a base of black bazzill and layered with silver gloss card stock and white embossed with Swiss Dots EF.  The next panel is more silver and two pieces of black and tied with some silver ribbon.  Next is a white panel cut with the Curved Mega Rectangles Nestabilities and embossed with Swiss Dots.  The main panel has been stamped with JustRite's 2" Font and Center Set and Upper Case Trompe Font.  The outer ring was stamped in black and the numbers were stamped in silver and embossed with silver EP.  The middle panel was also cut out with circle nestabilities.  I finished off by adding a silver satin ribbon bow at the bottom.

Stamps - 2" Font and Center Set, Upper Case Trompe Font (JustRite)

Paper - Black and White Bazzill, Silver Gloss

Ink - Black and Silver Versacolor

That's all for today, thanks for visiting!!!  :)

MTSC48 Thank You

Finally I have the change to play in Mercy's Sketch Challenge!  I really love Mercy's sketches and I have missed joining in these last few weeks!

I started with some light blue bazzill and layered with Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip and My Mind's Eye French Flea Market DSP.  The next panel is more VV and MME paper.  The strip across the middle is more bazzill punched with the Fiskars 'Lace' border punch.  On top of the strip I added some ivory satin ribbon and some Kaisercraft Blush Pearls.  The main panel is made of two JustRite Stamps - 2" Decorative Square Frames and Just A Note sets, stamped in Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise and cut out with Label 1 Nestabilities.  I finished off by adding an ivory satin ribbon bow to the top corner.

Twilight Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to the Customer and Design Team Artful INKables Blog Hop!!!!  Don't forget to start at the Artful INKables Blog so you don't miss a thing!!!  To celebrate the release of NEW MOON today, we're highlighting the Artful INKables Twilight inspired sets: Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired. Artful INKables also has a set of Vampire Romance Themed Charms available!  Artful INKables is also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday’s Hop that include Twilight Prizes, so be sure to check them out today as well!

If you are like me you have been hanging out for the next installment of the series and will be racing to the movies ASAP!!!  Actually I have to confess my friend and I have Gold Class tickets to see New Moon - so we can see in huge comfy recliners and have waitresses serve us food and drink while we watch the movie!!!  :)

Today I have a card and a bookmark (let's face it, you need at least one for every book in the series don't you!!!).

The card starts with a base of red and layered with black and white. Then I took a piece of red an punched one side with the Martha Stewart Zig Zag emboss punch and layered with black and a piece of red satin ribbon.  I stamped the diamond pattern from Into the Moonlight and matted with red and put it over the top of the ribbon.  Next I stamped the apple from Into the Moonlight and coloured it with Real Red ink and an aqua painter and cut it out, popping it on top of a black circle matted with the Pinking Circle Nestabilities.  Finally I added the 'BITE ME' from Fictionally Inspired in red to the bottom corner!!

The bookmark is for my friend's niece who is crazy about Jasper!  The base is black and punched again with the MS Zig Zag punch (for some reason I love this punch with these sets....maybe I keep thinking of teeth??) and layered with red.  Across the bottom I used the Flourish from Fictionally Inspired in black and added the Label 9 die cut that had been stamped with 'Team Jasper' also from Fictionally Inspired.  The image of the four icons of the series is from Into the Moonlight and stamped in black and coloured with inks and an aqua painter and cut with Class Oval Nestabilities.  I finished off with a piece of red satin ribbon!!

FS145 Featuring Dawn...

Today I finally had the chance to make a card for this week's Featured Stamper!  The honour this week goes to none other than Dawn Easton aka TreasureOiler!!!  I was so surprised that she'd never been featured before, what a fabulous blog and gallery she has!!!

I decided to case her Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries card and changed the colours, papers, made the image a sentiment and added a few pearls!!  :)

I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with Chocolate Chip, Red Bazzill and some Kaisercraft Belle DSP.  The next panel is more Chocolate Chip and Belle DSP and tied with ivory satin ribbon.  The main panel is made using the 2" Square Decorative Frames and the Merry Little Christmas Set for the sentiment stamped in Chocolate Chip and Raspberry Versacolor.  I finished off by popping up the sentiment on foam tape and adding Kaisercraft Blush Pearls to the bottom corner and to the decorative frame.

Hip to be Square!

Welcome to the JustRite Stampers Blog Hop!!!  Today we are celebrating the November release that includes the new shape to the JR family --- the square!!!  With decorative borders that work well with Monograms or the images and sentiments from the 1 5/8 size, these are versatile for so many uses.  This release also brings new Decorative Round Borders to fit the 2" Circle and the Just A Note set for the 1 5/8" circle.  You can find all the new releases HERE and they are ready to ship now!!!

Today's card is made using the new Decorative 2" Square Monogram Kit which includes 4 Square borders, the wooden stamper and a Font Kit.  I started with a base of Hazel Bazzill and layered with Close to Cocoa and Very Vanilla (embossed with Swiss Dots).  The three vertical strips are My Mind's Eye French Flea Market DSP.  Across the bottom is another piece of Hazel tied with some Close to Cocoa ribbon.  The frame and monogram are stamped in Close to Cocoa on Very Vanilla and cut with Large Rectangle Nestabilities which I matted with a piece of Close to Cocoa cut with the Label 3 Nestabilities and then popped up on foam tape.  To finish I added some Kaisercraft Blush Pearls to each corner of the DSP as well as smaller ones to the monogram frame.

Day 5 and WSC105!!!!

It's the final day of my Guest Blogging over at JustRite Stampers today - it has been such a fun ride and I want to say a HUGE thank you for all the comments that have been left, not only here on my blog, but all of the ones on the JustRite Blog as well!!!  I read and appreciated every single one of them!!!  :)  As you can see, I made a trio of cards using several of the brand new sets that are available NOW over at JustRite Stampers!!!  :)  For more details on my card set, visit the JustRite Stampers Blog!!

I've also made a card today that was inspired by Beate's Week-end Sketch Challenge!  I thought this was perfect to once again use the new Deluxe Round Monogram Kit that is available from JustRite Stampers NOW!!  I started with a base of Not Quite Navy and layered with Very Vanilla and more NQN.  The four panels on the front are from SU's Bella Bleu DSP.  The main panel has been stamped in NQN for the Border and Versamark (embossed with Gold Detail EP) for the "E".  Once the border had been stamped, I cut it out with Label 9 Nestabilities (LOVE this shape!!) and embossed it.  Then I carefully drew around the embossed edge with a gold pen to give a bit of definition and popped the "E" up in the middle.  The whole panel was then popped up on foam tape and I added some Kaisercraft Chino Pearls to the bottom corner.

All the new November Releases are available right now on the JustRite Stampers Website and as an added bonus all the Christmas Stamp Sets are 20% OFF!!!  Don't forget that we are celebrating the November Release on Tuesday November 17th with the JustRite Design Team Blog Hop so pop on by and be inspired!!!

Another Peek and a Birthday!

Hello!!!  Today is Day 3 of my Guest Blog Week at JustRite and today it's a Coffee Hamper including these cute coasters and a recipe!!!  I hope you pop on over to the JustRite Blog and have a look!!!  I do have to confess that I don't actually drink coffee - nope not at all!!!  For some reason that tends to shock people, but then my husband drinks enough for both of us!!!  :)

Now speaking of my hubby - today is his 40th Birthday!!!!  Happy Birthday Matthew!!!!!  Mwah!!!  Of course I had to make him a card - so today's card is a Masculine 40th Birthday Card!!!

I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with some dark green bazzill (pretending to be Always Artichoke that I have realised I'm out of) and then Soft Sky and some retired SU Le Jardin DSP.  The middle panel is more dark green that I punched around the edges using the Fiskars Upper Crest Border Punch and layered with more Very Vanilla and more Le Jardin DSP.  I then made a frame out of some Very Vanilla by using two sizes of the Label 3 dies to cut and emboss.  Finally I stamped the numbers in Always Artichoke using SU's retired Headline Numbers, cut them out and popped them up on foam tape.

I'm happy to say that he liked his card!!!  (Mum and Scoob, he liked yours too!!  :)  )

FS144 Christmas Candles

Hello Everyone!!!  Today's card is for this week's Featured Stamper Challenge!!  This week the honour goes to Chrisations.ink!!!  Congratulations Christine and enjoy your week!!!  I decided to use the soon to be released Decorative Frames Borders - Round and the Merry Little Christmas Set for the candles in the centre.  The November releases by JustRite will be available for sale from this Friday - November 13th!!!

I was inspired by Christine's End of Summer card and changed - the stamps, colours, papers, added an extra punched border, moved the bling, used a bow instead of knots, using embossing instead of scoring.

I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with red bazzill and more VV that has been embossed with Swiss Dots EF.  The middle panel is more red bazzill that has been punched on both edges with the Fleur de Lis border punch and layered with VV (pierced) and some Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly DSP.  Around that I tied 1" Ivory satin ribbon and added a bow made with my Bow Easy!  The main panel has been stamped using one of the soon to be released borders from the Decorative Frames Borders - Round in Real Red and the Candles from the Merry Little Christmas Set.  The candles were coloured with markers and a blender pen and popped up on foam tape.  Both stamped images were cut out with Large Circle Nestabilities and mounted on an aqua bazzill piece cut out with the Label 9 Nestabilities.  To finish I added little Kaisercraft red pearls to each of the flourishes on the border.

I started with a base of purple bazzill and layered with white and some new Kaisercraft Lilac Avenue DSP.  The middle panel is more Lilac Avenue matted with white with one edge punched with the Fiskars Eyelet Lace embossing punch.  Across both panels I attached some white satin ribbon.  The main panel has been stamped using the Deluxe Round Monogram Kit in Chocolate Chip and Lovely Lilac.  The monogram was cut with Small Circle Nestabilities and the chocolate border was closely cut with scissors and both were popped up on foam tape on the purple layer cut with Label 9 Nestabilities.  I finished by adding white Kaisercraft pearls to each of the flourishes on the border and also to one of the corners.

I chose Jen's Glittered Pumpkin Bouquet to case.  I changed the image and colours, added embossing, popped the image and added a sentiment panel.

I started with a base of pink bazzill and layered with white and more pink bazzill embossed with Swiss Dots.  On top of that is white cut with the Label 8 Nestabilities.  The Gerbera Daisies were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured with markers and a blender pen, cut out and popped up.  I finished off by adding a ribbon tag with the sentiment.

Male 21st Birthday

I had an order for a Masculine 21st Birthday card - and only 24hrs notice.  To be honest, Man Cards are not my thing - I like my pretties too much!  With no other details, I played it safe and went with Chocolate and Vanilla.  I started with this week's Mojo Monday Sketch, which I think I deviated a bit too much so I don't know if I should enter it or not.  Maybe I'll try again!!  :)

I started with a base of Very Vanilla and layered with Chocolate Chip (pierced around the border) and then two pieces of Kaisercraft's Cafe Culture DP.  The main panel is VV cut with the Label 9 Nestabilites and layered with Chocolate chip (Small Circle Nestabilities) and VV (Large Circle Nestabilities and embossed with Swiss Dots EF).  The numbers are from SU's retired Headline Numbers set - a very handy large size - that I stamped in Chocolate Chip.  Originally the Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip on VV and cut with the Petite Oval Nestabilities and sponged with Close to Cocoa.  To finish I added some Topaz Oregon Raindrops (thanks to Michelle for those!) to the right corners.

Stamps - Headline Numbers, Birthday Whimsy (SU)

Paper - Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Kaisercraft Cafe Culture DSP

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa

Accessories - Label 9, Small Circle and Large Circle, Petite Oval Nestabilities, Swiss Dots EF, Topaz Oregon Raindrops, Pop Dots.

Well, that's all for now, thanks for visiting!!!
