CSS Party Hop!!!

Saturday, February 9, 2013


Hey there!  Today is the Clear & Simple Stamps Party Hop!!!  The design team and I are creating ensembles perfect for a party or get-together.  For a small get-together with friends, I created a card and treat to take home.

I just love those air-mail stripes!  The twine is a perfect match.

My take-home treat is to-die-for!  It's toffee on the bottom, a layer of chocolate and then a sprinkle of sea salt and walnuts.  So good!  If I know my friends, these will be gone before they get home.
I used Mini Tri-Fold 2 to package a little "the best things in life are handmade" card.
Some more twine keeps everything in place.  
You won't want to miss what the other design team creations!!!



Have a great day!

A {Cheer Up} Card...

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Hey there!  I hope you are having a great day!  We've been a little laid back the last two days since my little guy has been sick.  I have been able to sneak in a little crafty time though.

I have a cheery card to share today.  I created a little scene using Cloudy Days, Cloudy Days Sentiments and Clouds Combo Dies.  I even used Imprints 3 (Sunburst) impression plate and Shapes: Circles Dies to create a sun.
Lots of layers to this card.  The sentiment "Cheer Up" is stamped partially on the sun (that is popeped up on foam dots) and partially on the panel underneath.  

Thanks so much for visiting me today!!!

CSS Release in Review...

Sunday, November 4, 2012

Hello!  I hope you are having a great weekend!  We are enjoying a nice long weekend due Election Day, the kiddos are off school both Monday and Tuesday!

Today marks Day 1 of Clear & Simple Stamps Release in Review.  We are sharing even more projects using items from Collection 5.  But specifically, today we are showcasing {The Basics} which have three groupings: Rounded Squares/Labels, Clouds (which I'm sharing today), and Fall Frenzy.

I created a card and gift bag with tag ensemble.  The card is the "cloudy day" and the tag is the "sunshine".
For my card, I started with an On the Catwalk Cream card stock base and inside panel.  I stamped the clouds from the set Cloudy Days in three shades of blue ink: Trendsetter Blue, Simply Blue-tiful, and Your Style Blue Me Away.  The sentiment, from Cloudy Days Sentiments, was stamped using True Blue Fan ink.  The panel is adhered to the card using foam dots.
For the tag, I die cut Say Yellow to All Your Fans card stock using the larger Tags 1 die.  I ran it through my Cuttlebug using the Imprints 3 (sunburst/clouds) impression plate.  The "to and from" stamp comes from a set that was released earlier this year called Trendy Tags and is stamped using True Blue Fan ink to coordinate with the sentiment on the card.  The tag is attached to the handles of the bag using Navy Blue/White Twine and Yellow/White Twine.

Be sure to check out what my fellow designers have created using {The Basics}:





Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your (hopefully long) weekend!!!

An {I am blue without you} Card...

Friday, November 2, 2012

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  We are getting ready for a big event for my son's class tonight.  Excited that it's finally here but glad it will be over so I can stop worrying about it.  I hope the skies are clear (unlike today's card) because we are spending the night looking at the stars!

For my card today, I used some of the newly released stamps from CSS's Collection 5.  I used the background stamp Comic Book to create a rainy background.  I did not mask the open space where the sentiment was placed, I simply stamped above and below the sentiment.  

I die cut and stamped some clouds using Clouds Combo and arranged them so they were hanging over the edges, then trimmed them flush with the edge.  
It's kind of odd for me to create a card with layers that are not popped up on foam dots.  But I don't think that would have been a good look for this card.   What do you think?

Thanks so much for sharing part of your day with me!  I hope you all have a great weekend!!!

CSS Release Recap & A New Card...

Tuesday, October 16, 2012


Hey guys!  It's been quite a release week, hasn't it?  I personally think it's our best one yet, but I think I say that every time.  Clear & Simple Stamps impresses me more and more with every release.  I don't know how they will top this release, but I'm sure they will.

I have new card to share with you today and then I'm going to do a little recap of the cards I made so far for this release.  

First of all, my card looks a little bright (a lot bright really!).  Trust me, it's really not that bright in person.  The sun must have been shining directly on my card, how appropriate!
I embossed the yellow card stock using a new CSS impression plate, Clouds/Sunburst.  On one side it's a sunburst and the other side it's clouds.  I applied that to my card base first and then added my two cloud panels.

In the Clouds Combo set, which is stamps with coordinating dies,  there is an edger die that I used to create these clouds, I guess you could call it a border.  I just love how easy it is to use, and then to line up an accent stamp, it's just really cool.  

And here's a recap of a few cards/projects made earlier in this release:

Here are some of my DT friends that are also recapping this release.  Check 'em out!



One last thing...
Happy Birthday Nicki!!!

I hope you've enjoyed this release as much as I have!  Have a great day!
