OCC Challenge - Vintage Style

Saturday, October 31, 2009

Hello & Happy Halloween!!! Welcome to another challenge from Our Creative Corner. This week the challenge is to make a card or project with vintage style. Now, I'm more of a modern, clean lines sorta girl, so I thought this was going to be a difficult challenge. Well, it was surprisingly easy once I found the perfect papers to use, which are made by Graphic 45 and are called Domestic Goddess. The main image panel was cut from one sheet. The mat and corner edges are actually part of the paper. The sentiment "domestic goddess" was cut from another sheet. I joked with my hubby that he should give this card to me. Ha!
You can see in this close-up picture that the sentiment panel is curved. Now, head on over to Our Creative Corner and see what vintage style the rest of the design team girls have created and play along!


Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!

A Plum Thank You

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Hello! I was browsing my usual blogs this morning and stumbled upon a plum crazy challenge at the Moxie Fab blog. The idea was to make a card using the color plum. This was a great excuse to break out my new Label Nine Nestabilities Dies.

You can see in this close-up, that I sponged the inside of the sentiment panel with Pale Plum ink. It's very subtle. You can see it a lot clearer in person.

Paper Maniac Wednesday - Crafting with Your Kids

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Hello! Welcome to Paper Maniac Wednesday here on my blog! This week the design team is crafting with their kids. Making a pennant banner was the first thing I thought to make with my kids. I knew they would enjoy making something that could also be used as a decoration in our home. I wanted to make something with a Thanksgiving theme, so I settled on the word "grateful" since I had all the letters for that word :)

I got the kids started by cutting the triangle pennants and stapling them to twill tape. I chose Indian Summer (Basic Grey) patterned paper for a warm autumn feel. The 6 x 6 pack is the perfect size for this project. Halle and I dipped the chipboard letters in a very wet ink pad of Close to Cocoa (craft ink) and let them dry. When they were finished drying, she glued them into place.

Halle and Colin both loved to decorate the letters with buttons. There favorite part was using the glue.
After the banner dried overnight (they used A LOT of glue!) I covered the staples with another strip of twill tape and added two brown bows to the ends. I think it turned out great and the kids are so proud of themselves. They can't wait to show it off!

You won't want to miss what the rest of the design team made this week with their kids. Head on over to the Paper Maniac Blog to check them out! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Spooky Night...

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Hello! I have one last Halloween card to show you. The skull image is a Michaels $1 stamp that I stamped with Versamark and then embossed with black embossing powder. It's hard to see the shine in the picture. My favorite part of this card are the purple eyes, and they were an afterthought.


Well, have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hey there, chickadee...

Monday, October 26, 2009

Hello and Happy Monday! I made this cute little card (3" x 3") that is inspired by this great card by Teri Anderson. My little bird comes from a whole sheet of birds. I just punched out one and it's popped up on a foam dimensional. The orange paper is textured Bazzill paper. Cute and Simple. My favorite kind.


Hope your week is getting started right. I'm chaperoning two field trips and have two Halloween parties this week. It's sure to be crazy, but fun!

OCC - Scary Movie Card

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Hey there! It's Saturday which means another challenge from Our Creative Corner. This week is an inspiration challenge based on a scary movie. The movie I chose is Arachnophobia, which is a movie all about "a south American killer spider hitches a lift to the US in a coffin and starts to breed and kill". I obviously took the spider from the movie and made a Halloween card around it. What a fun challenge!

You'll want to visit Our Creative Corner and check out the other DT ladies creations. Have a great day!

Halloween Treat Bags

Friday, October 23, 2009

Hello! I always make a little something special for my nieces, nephews, and neighborhood kids for Halloween. This year I made little treat packets filled with Hershey Kisses. You can find these little bags (2" x 3") at any store that sells jewelry supplies.
For the tags, I used a scalloped rectangle nestabilities die and then folded them in half and stapled them into place. I personalized the goodie bags by printing the names using a computer and printer. I cut them out with a coluzzle and sponged the edges. Lastly, the ribbon was tied and then adhered with a glue dot.


Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

"one-of-a-kind" Challenge Card

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Hello! Today I combines two challenges to make this card. This card uses a Raspberry Suite color challenge as well as a challenge from the Cards Magazine Blog. You'll have to scroll all the way down to the last card for the challenge. It was to make a card with a collage in one corner. This is a little out of my comfort zone, so definitely a good challenge.
Kind of odd that a little simple card can have so many elements. I tried to keep it CAS though.


Have a great day!

Flower Petal Card + Tutorial

Wednesday, October 21, 2009


Hello! It's Paper Maniac Wednesday! This week the DT girls are making cards with black, white and a pop of color. I was inspired to make this card after seeing the patterned paper I used on Monday's card. The petals are just squares with two rounded corners. Easy peasy, right? Well it will be for you since I took care of the measuring for you! I will apologize up front for the length of this tutorial. I hope I didn't over-complicate such an easy card!!!

Here are the sizes of paper and card stock you will need:
(the colors I used are in parenthesis)
1 - 5" x 10" piece of card stock, folded in half for your base (white)
1 - 4.75" (black) square
4 - 2.25" (white) squares
4 - 2" (patterned paper) squares
4 - 1.25" (white) squares

- This is the 5" square card you will be using as your card's base.
- Adhere the 4.75" square panel to the card base.
- Off to the side, arrange the four 2.25" squares like shown.- Using a corner rounder punch, punch the corners shown.
- Now, take your four 2" patterned paper squares and punch the same corners as before. Layer on top of the 2.25" squares. You do not need to adhere these just yet, we're just laying it out first.
- Take the four 1.25" squares and punch the same corners. Layer these on top of the patterned paper. Place these toward the center of your flower.- Now we can start putting the flower together. I used snail adhesive between the patterned paper and the largest petal. - Then I used foam dimensionals to pop up the smallest of the petals.
- Now you should have four complete petals.
- Turn them over and add foam dimensionals.

- Now you can start adhering them to your card. The one thing to remember here is to arrange your petals first by gently laying them on the card stock. You should be able to move them around. When you get the petals the way you like, then press down on each petal to secure them. Your card should now look like this.

- You can decorate the center of your flower any way you like. I used two circles of paper and a button I painted using this tutorial. I used foam dimensionals to adhere to the center of my card.
- Here's what the finished card looks like.

- And here is a close-up shot showing all the dimension.
Now head on over to the Paper Maniac Blog and check out what the rest of the DT made using black, white, and a pop of color. Thanks for stopping by today!

Wishing you comfort...

Monday, October 19, 2009

Hello! Well, my kiddos went back to school this morning. We had such a fun fall break, but I am happy to get back to making cards by myself. I think every card I made last week took about two hours. It was so nice making a card this morning from start to finish without stopping and it only took about 20 minutes.


Anyway, today's card was made for the Clean & Simple challenge at SCS. The theme is sympathy cards. I think everyone should have a stash of sympathy cards ready to go because it can be really difficult to make one in the moment. I really like the sentiment "Wishing you comfort" for a sympathy card. I guess you could also use this for a get well type of card. My father-in-law just had knee replacement surgery and I know he is wishing for some comfort.
I hope your week is off to a great start! Thanks for stopping by!

OCC Challenge - Color Combo

Saturday, October 17, 2009

Hello friends! It's Saturday, so that means there's a new challenge at Our Creative Corner. This week is a color challenge and I will admit that I am not familiar with any of these colors. They are Handsome Hunter, Sage Shadow, Soft Suede, and Blush Blossom. You do not need to use these exact colors, anything close will work. I'm so glad Lori picked these colors. They were definitely challenging, but I love trying new things and am happy with how my card turned out.


I tore the edges of my paper and then ran my fingernail along the jagged edge to give it some dimension. The pearl that dots my "i" is actually Sage Shadow in color. It looks white in the picture.
Now, head on over to Our Creative Corner and check out what the other girls have done with this color challenge and then play along yourself! Have a great weekend!

Button Tutorial....and a card...

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Hello! I did not set out to make a tutorial this morning, but I had a happy accident and thought I would share it with you. I wanted to make a card today for yesterday's sketch challenge at SCS and wanted to use Everyday Button Bits. My first thought was to use the apple stem and leaf images and have three "button apples" as my focal point. I searched for some red buttons to use as the apples and couldn't find any that were the right color or the right size. I happened to have a bottle of burgundy nail polish in my craft area. So........I painted my buttons with nail polish!!!!


Here's a brief tutorial:

I found the perfect size buttons to fit my card. They all happened to be white. I made a handle to my fingers wouldn't smudge the polish.
Here's what it looked like before:
And here is after. I used Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri in Cinna-snap. It only took one coat and not very long to dry.
Here's the three buttons drying. I like the swirly one the best.
And here is the finished card.
I love these buttons!!!
I hope you enjoyed today's card and mini tutorial. I have so many colors of nail polish. I can't wait to try this 'technique' again!

One-of-a-kind Friend...

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Hello! I thought I would participate in today's color challenge at SCS. The colors were teal, apricot, and chocolate. I have never used Apricot Appeal, so I thought I would give this challenge a try. I embossed the teal strip with a swiss dots embossing folder and then used a brown marker on the raised dots. Then I sanded the dots to give it an aged look.


Well, thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a great day!!!

Kind Thanks...

Monday, October 12, 2009

Hello! I am totally enjoying fall break with the kiddos. Halle and I made cards together this morning. It was a lot of fun, but I really struggled to make anything I really liked. I knew I wanted to participate in the clean and simple challenge for today at SCS, which is to use the stamp thumping technique. I tried this technique on a few images and then settled on this one. The rest of the card is definitely clean and simple!!!
Hope your week is starting off on the right track!!! Thanks for stopping by today!!!

OCC Challenge - Sketch Challenge

Saturday, October 10, 2009


Hello! It's Saturday and time for another challenge from Our Creative Corner. This week was a sketch challenge. My husband's birthday was on Thursday, so I used the sketch for his card.


I used Everyday Button Bits for the trees, but instead of buttons, I used circles of patterned paper. All the tree tops are popped up with foam dimensionals, but I used double on the center tree top. I sponged some blue ink behind the trees for the sky. The sentiment is printed off the computer and says "Happy Birthday, Scott".
Now, head on over to Our Creative Corner and see what the others ladies did with this sketch. Don't forget to play along with us!!! Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks card...

Friday, October 9, 2009

TGIF! Today is the first day of Fall Break for my little ones. They have today off and all of next week. It was so nice to sleep in this morning, if only for a little bit.


The card I made uses the guidelines for today's limited supply challenge at SCS. You were allowed to use paper, ink, and stamps--that's it! Oh, and the theme was FALL. This is a true CAS card. I used a VersaMarker and t-square ruler to make the frame (and then gold embossing powder). Add Image

Hope you enjoyed today's card! Have a great weekend!

Merry & Bright Card...

Hi! I made this card today for the sketch challenge at SCS. Such a simple layout, my favorite kind. I thought I would break out some holiday stamps and tools. I really like this color combo (which I pulled from the ribbon) for holiday and winter cards.

Paper Maniac Wednesday - No Image Stamps

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Hello! It's Paper Maniac Wednesday! This week's theme is to make a card without using an image stamp. I do that quite a bit, so this was not that challenging. However, it was the perfect opportunity to once again use some Raindrop Echo Designs digital stamps.


Did you notice that paper on my card? It's Indian Summer from Basic Grey. I am infatuated with this paper. I did not want to cut this paper. I was very careful to cut it right the first time so I would not waste any. I even adhered a bit to the envelope to make it all coordinate.

I don't know about you, but I have a heck of a time finding Basic Grey 6 x 6 pads. The scale of the 12 x 12 pads are not very good for card making. I was so excited when Patti at Paper Maniac told me they were going to be carrying them. So far they have Indian Summer, Eskimo Kisses, Eerie and all the coordinating embellishments as well.

Now, head on over to the Paper Maniac Blog and see what the other DT ladies made without image stamps. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Celebrate Today Card... (again)

Monday, October 5, 2009

Hello again! This is my second post for today, so scroll down if you missed the first one (or click here).
I'm back again with another card for Papertrey Ink's WCMD Challenge but this time it's for challenge #2, which is to make a card inspired by Mexico. In their inspiration picture, I saw some striped ponchos and wanted to use that as my inspiration. This paper was the closest I could find. This card is small, 4" x 4". I've been making a lot of cards with this format lately. Click here, here, and here for some more examples of this type of card. I just noticed that I used the same sentiment stamp for both my cards today! Whoops! I do need to stock up on birthday cards!!!

Celebrate Today Card...

Hello! Today I made a card for the WCMD Challenge #1 for Papertrey Ink. The challenge was to make a card inspired by Japan. I think like a lot of people, I was inspired by all the cherry blossoms.


I picked some paper that I thought had a bit of a Japanese feel to it. The paper is very busy, so I toned it down with the kraft circles. The circles are popped up on foam dimensionals.
Here's a close-up so you can see all the dimension.

OCC Challenge - Journal Inspiration

Saturday, October 3, 2009



Hello there! I'm here with another challenge from Our Creative Corner. Our hostess this month is Lori Rider and she chose this Duval Journal as our inspiration piece this week. I was inspired by the layout. I based my card on the floral background, the curly label, and the stripe on the left edge.

It is always so interesting to see how others interpret the image and how many directions you can go. Head on over to Our Creative Corner and see all the wonderful creations from the Design Team and then make a card of your own!


Have a great weekend!

Shabby Chic Enjoy...

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Hi there! I have a really quick card for you today. I love making "patchwork" types of cards. They are quick to make, but even quicker if the paper is already coordinated for you. For this card, I used scraps from Basic Grey's Urban Prairie paper pack. Whenever you make a simple card, you need a little something special to make it stand out. I think I achieved this with the ribbon treatment.


The "enjoy" sentiment comes from the stamp set Everyday Button Bits (Papertrey Ink). I love this set because you can use the whole sentiment (in this case "Enjoy the ride") or you can just use the cursive part of the sentiment (in this case "Enjoy"). This pretty much doubles the amount of sentiments in the set. You can see on this card, I combined two of the sentiments to make "love you".

Finished size: 4.25" x 4.25" .

Thanks for stopping by today!
