Mojo Tuesday

Hi All,
I wanted to share another card that I made in preparation for a friends upcoming Stamp a Stack. I had gone on over to Mojo Monday and they had this great sketch:

I decided to rotate the sketch for my purposes. Here is what I came up with:

I used a base of Smokey Slate, layers of Whisper White and Basic Grey with a panel of Winter Frost DP. I used Homemade Holidays Photopolymer stamp set for my main image and the sentiment. Some White Organza ribbon and I was done! Love this set!! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Veterans Day to All!! Thank You to those who have served!!

Still plugging along!

Evening All,
Well I haven't gotten much done this weekend except playing with my little one and watching over my step son as he recovers but I did sneak a few craft items in between the naps and handing out meds! I was surfing a little on line while my son napped (love holding him when he does nap as it never lasts long) and came across some "ripped" cards and thought that I should revisit that technique. Here is what I came up with:

 

 

I used a base of Very Vanilla, some Early Espresso and some Newsprint DP. My stamp is from lovely as a tree and of course I added some sponging and a little Victorian Lace. Love the warmth of the card! Hope you do to!

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Exhausted!!

Evening All,
Well after dragging myself back to work this week and dealing with leaving my little one for extended periods of time I was trying to decompress and complete a few cards for a future stamp a stack a friend is having. With having less time to craft I try to be more efficient so I knew, sitting down that I had no idea for a layout so I went on over to Freshly Made Sketches and they did not disappoint, Check out this weeks sketch:

Here is what I came up with:

 

 

I used a base of Whisper White, a layer of Pistachio Pudding, another layer of Whisper White and a panel of the All is Calm DP. This paper is very elegant and makes card making a snap with the patterns. I used the sentiment from Homemade Holiday Photopolymer stamp set and punched it out with the Modern Label punch. A little of my favorite ribbon and I was done. Love it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dasher

Morning All,
At this very early hour I finally had a chance to finish a card that I have been prepping for an upcoming stamp a stack. Going back to work with a little one has been quite challenging and I have to admit that I started this card five days ago!! Hopefully I will be able to get into the swing of things soon! Without further adieu here is my latest creation:

 

I used a base of Very Vanilla with some layers of Early Espresso. I pulled out some old favorites for this, including Dasher and Short and Sweet. Not to mention some of the Victorian ribbon that I have squired away. I thought stamping on the newsprint gave it a bit of a nostalgic feel.

Thanks for stopping by!

Homemade Holiday

Hi All,
I wanted to share a card I made with the awesome new Homemade Holiday Photopolymer stamp set. This set is just so much fun to work with and leaves a host of possibilities! Check out my latest creation:

 

I used a base of Naturals White and a layer of Cherry Cobbler. I hope you can see the sparkle on the snowflakes and on the sentiment! I decided to use the gorgeous Silver Encore ink. With all the detail I bet you think this took "forever", Wrong! Maybe 10 minutes! This set makes crafting a snap! A little silver ribbon and I was done.

Thanks for stopping by!

Owl Case'ing

Hi  All,
I wanted to share a cute card that I CAS'ed  from Working Out the Inks. Check out her blog! Anyhow I realized that I needed a few more Halloween cards and thought that Regina's card was a perfect inspiration! Here is my card:

 

I love the new Holiday Home set and loved the idea of using the Owl Punch in the foreground. I totally copied the idea of drawing the spider web on the door. Loved it!
