CBC16 Let's Play Ball

Chrissy over at Creating with Chrissy is having her weekly Belli Challenge, you can check it out here. This week she has using eyelets. Here is what I come up with for you challenge this week. I use big eyelets on this one that I got at a dollar store.

I also used a sketch from iheart2stamp, I will include the sketch here for you to try to.

Supplies needed for this project:

Whisper White, Real Red and Choc Chip card stock

Black ink

Large Eyelets

Crop-a-dile or Big Kick

Stamp sets of choice

Gamsol and colored pencils

Directions:

Cut WW for basic card at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 fold in half to form card. I stamp with black ink softballs over the background of the card.

Cut 3 strips of Choc. Chip at 1" wide x 4 6/8

Cut 3 strips of Real Red at 3/4" x 4 6/8, mount to CC strips

Cut 3 strips of Whisper White at 1/2" x 4 6/8. Mount on-top the Real Red strip.

Cut Choc Chip at 3 x 2 7/8

Cut Real Red at 2 3/4 x 2 5/8 mount to Choc Chip piece

Cut Whisper White at 2 1/2 by 2 3/8 and stamp image in black ink and color in. Mount this to the Real Red and Choc Chip piece. Add adhesive to the back and add strips evenly spaced behind this. See sample for placement. Then punch holes for eyelets with your crop-a-dile or Big Kick. Add eyelets and mount all this to your main card.

I thought this turned out cute and will make a nice card for either a male or a female that plays in sports also.

Ready to Pounce

I got this stamp at our local dollar store. This little kitty is so darn cute and ready to pounce and eat that lady bug. I believe it is an Anita Stamp.
Same directions as the one I posted a few minutes ago. But this time I have the sketch to go with it I hope. LOL, if blogger will let me this time. This sketch is one of Mary Jo's at Techno Stamper.
So this card is for Mary Jo's Sketch Challenge 15 and for Chrissy's Belli Challenge 15.

SC173 Blossoms Abound

With the snow we have had and the ice this is a welcome card to make. I love Lilacs anyway, they smell so pretty. This sketch is from SCS.

I found a package of Cranberry Crisp so that is what I used. Kind looks like one of the colors we have in the spring and summer. Can't always use Lovely Lavender and Lavender Lace for Lilacs. Come to think of it White ones would be really pretty on colored card stock. Hmmmm.....

Choc. Chip ribbon

Choc. Chip Card stock

Directions:

Cut WW card stock at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 fold in half for get 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, cut another WW piece at 4 3/8 x 3 and one at 3 1/2 x 2. On the two smaller pieces stamp your image with the 2 step stamp set Blossoms Abound, with Cranberry Crisp stamping off once for the first step and then direct from ink pad to card stock lining up images. Do the same with the leaf stamp only with Old Olive and stamping the vine to the leaf first direct from the stamp pad then stamping off once for the leaves.

With Brown Gel Pen do dashed lines all around the edges. Cut CC card stock at 3 3/4 x 2 1/4 mount to smallest stamped image. Then another CC piece cut at 4 5/8 x 3 1/4 and mount to the larger stamped image piece. Set aside.

SC172 Be Mine Mouse

Well we survived the snow blasting and the ice from yesterday. Didn't get as much as they said we would. Whew! So glad of that. But was so slippery today my dh got 2 miles out of town almost went in the ditch 7 times and said forget work. Called in and said he wasn't coming the roads was to bad. So he came home and later we snow blowed the drive way and in front of our house as the road plow still hasn't gone by. We are back drifted in the wind is really bad today. But we ended up with about 5 inches of snow and about 1/2 inch of ice. So today was a good day to stick around home and stamp.

This is the project I found for today. It is a sketch from SCS - SC172. I used a house mouse stamp again. This one is so cute, if you look closely he is cross-eyed. He has such personality.

Supplies needed & Directions:

Scrap pieces more or less of designer paper (patterned paper) You will need two designs. I got mine at that Dollar District in Alexandria. Love them both. Cut your pieces at 2 1/8 x 2 1/2 (2) of these and you will also need (2) cut at 2 1/8 x 3. Look at my sample for placement. So you end up needing one cut at 2 1/8 x 2 1/2 and one cut at 2 1/8 x 3 of one design of the patterned paper. And one cut the same of the other choice of designer paper.

WW card stock is cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded in half. Mount the cut designer pieces to the card as shown in the sample.

Choc. Chip Ribbon (SU) cut at 5 1/2 inches and place in the middle of the card, covering that seam.

Stamp image with Stazon Black on WW card stock. Use gamsol and colored pencils on mine, you can use what you are most comfy with. Color in image and trim to size. Then with a piece of Choc. Chip card stock cut 1/4 inch larger and mount to the stamped image. I used pop dots to mount my stamped layered image to the card.

Pretty simple and quick. Hope you enjoyed today's project. And those of you that was in this snow and ice storm we got, I hope you faired out and didn't get it to bad. I heard some towns further north of us got 18 inches. Certainly happy it wasn't me.

Stay tune tomorrow for a SU image card.

Angel hugs.

AMYS19 Old Fashioned Lilac's

This is the challenge card we did yesterday while in chat. It is one of Amy's Sketches. I found this one harder to do. Not sure why but I did. I also ended up changing the direction of the sketch. Anyone can do the challenge. If you do you can load it to your blog or SCS using her code AMYRS19. Be sure and post to Amy's blog under the sketch so she knows.

So what I did was found some old fashioned designer paper, this is what a friend of mine sent to me Sharron. Thanks Sharron I am really getting the use out of those papers you sent me. Love them.

Cured Yet? 2

I wanted to make a couple of these so I am ahead of the game, plus my Mom sometimes comes and raids my stash of cards and uses them too. This is the same sketch only different colors, but, I like this one too. I am really having fun with this set.

Tomorrow I will go to at least a different image. This one looks so much different than yesterdays to me that I wanted to share this one with you all too. I hope you like them both and are getting some ideas from me for you own stamping. This one to me looks like old fashioned wallpaper in the background. I love anything with an old fashioned look to it.

It has been really windy in Central MN today so I have stayed in as much as possible. What better time to stamp and enjoy yourself than with weather that you can't go out in. My stamping keeps me occupied and I always end up with something useful. Sometimes my house looks like a tornado hit it but, hey we can't have everything right?

Thanks for stopping bye.

You Cured Yet?

This is a big card. My piggy turned out big and wouldn't fit on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card so I made a larger one. I got a good deal at the dollar store awhile ago on some blank Greeting Card with Matching Envelopes in a package. They sure come in handy today for this card. What it is, is a 8 1/2 x 11 card stock folded in half. But they are hard to find envelopes for so if you run into something like this at your dollar store pick it up cause you just never know when your going to need it. This is a sketch challenge from Julee over at Poetic Artistry's blog. Love this sketch for this card.This card will be going to my 87 yr. old Aunty that is having back surgery soon. Her and her late husband used to be pig farmers. And get this one of the Presidents of the good ole US of A used to come to the farm. How cool is that? Anyway, I thought she would love a pick me up after surgery so this is for her.

Supplies Needed:

Full Sheet of card stock folded in half for basic card.Designer Paper cut at 4 1/4 x 8 1/4. Use punch to punch the corners.

Whisper White to stamp image and to stamp Better Get Better.
Basic Black, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue card stock.
White Gel Pen & Black Ribbon
Pop Dots
Gamsol and Colored Pencils
Q-Tips
Black Stazon Ink Pad
Coluzzle Oval one

Directions:

Stamp image with black stazon. Color in with colored pencils and gamsol. Cut around with the Coluzzle. Stamp on a small piece of Whisper White the verse, cut out. Take a piece of Black card stock and use your colluzle to cut out the outer trim for the pig. I just went one size larger for the trim. Mount your stamped, colored image on the black as best you can in the center. With White Gel Pen make dots and squiggly lines around the edges. Set aside. Cut a piece of Bashful Blue at 1 1/2 x 8 1/4. I stamped small dots on this with versamark. Cut Pretty in Pink at 1 3/4 x 8 1/4. Then the black cut at 2 1/4 x 8 1/4. Mount from blue down to the black. With White Gel Pen do the same as you did on the Oval for the pig. Add black ribbon to the center of this. Leaving the bow on the right side. Your little Get Well wording 2 1/8 by 2 is also mounted to black and cut at 2 1/4 x 2 3/8. You make this piece a little thicker so you can have it pushed under the upper layer ( see card for placement) Mount your designer paper to the main card. Add middle strip with the saying just under. Next add pop dots to the back of your image piece. I used one on the top and bottom and one on each side, then cut a strip to go in the center. Add to the left side of the card. Your card is now finished and ready to have someone enjoy. You can see my sample card here for placement on how to layer and add to the card. Hope you enjoyed today's project and hope to see you stop by again.

Emboss your white card stock with the Swiss dot embossing folder. Trim to 3 1/2 by 3 1/4, add black background that is cut at 3 3/4 x 3 1/2. Mount the white to the black.

With designer paper cut 2 pieces at 2 1/4 x 3 1/2, cut black at 2 1/2 x 3 3/4.

Cut Tempting Turquoise at 8 x 9. Fold in half so you have a 4 x 9 card. Mount pieces as shown on sample.

Measure and punch your 3 holes for eyelets. Set eyelets and add brads to center.

With black ink stamp verse. Mine says Praying for you.

Punch out with the blue scalloped circle a white piece of card stock and with the pink scalloped circle a black one.

With markers color in image of your stamp, huff and stamp on white card stock. Mount this piece to the black and the black centered on the upper half of the card.

Your done. Very simple and pretty card.

Congratulations

This card would work for a boy or a girl. Not sure of the color combo I used yet but like how the bunny in the cradle turned out.

I used

Real Rust, Certainly Celery, Choc Chip and Whisper White card stock

Cuttlebug embossing folder

Versamark pad and choc chip ink

Colored pencils and Gamsol

Basic card size was used for this one. Layered the Really Rust embossed piece on the Whisper White. You can make the center piece pretty much any size you wish. Mine is 2 1/4 inches for the Certainly Celery and 2 1/2 for the Choc Chip it is layered on. Mount this to your card.

Stamp your image and cut out, layered this on Certainly Celery then onto Choc Chip. Mount this to main card and it is complete.

Very simple card to make. I am including the sketch also and am not sure who made up this sketch but if it was you please let me know so I can give proper credit.

Beate's Challenge WSC38

I made mine into a Easter card. Used retired designer paper and dug out some watercolor paper and Aqua Painter with some watercolor pencils and colored in my image. Not to bad for a first shot at that.

I am so ready for Spring, so these papers worked good for that they are nice and bright and cheerful.

Cut 2 designs of patterned paper at 1 7/8 x 2 1/2 you need 2 of each pattern.

Cut a layer for behind them ( I did black ) at 4 x 5 1/4, layer the designer paper on top as shown. Layer on White card stock.

Stamp image of choice on watercolor paper and with aqua painter and colored pencils color in image, trim and mount to a piece 1/4" larger mount to card and your done.

Really simple and cute card.
