Stamping 411 Pumpkin

I'm actually getting a card in for a sketch on time! I made this one for the Stamping 411 sketch here.

This Pumpkin Patch set is so cute. I used the Really Rust patterned papers from the Hostess Level 1 set. The little pumpkin is ifrom the Holiday Blitz set and I inked that up with Stampin' Write Markers. This came together really fast.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Pumpkin Patch, Holiday Blitz

Papers: Whisper white, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, Really Rust Patterns pack DSP III

Inks: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and Really Rust Ink pads and Stampin' Write markers

Accessories: 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches, word window punch, Modern label punch,Stampin' dimensionals

Stamping 411-A Week Later

I caught up with the Stamping 411 sketch from last week. This week I've done lotsa "catching up" yet I don't feel so caught up! Oh well, I had fun with this sketch and used the most neglected In Color I own-Dusty Durango. Maybe now that it's fall I will use it more often! The row of pumpkins is from The More the Merrier. Another great set you can earn with Hostess benefits. I used blender pens to color in the pumpkins with Dusty Durango. Fun and fast.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: The More the Merrier

Papers: Whisper white, Dusty Durango, Old Olive, Soft Suede, The Write Stuff Specialty papers

Inks: Dusty Durango, Old Olive, Soft Suede

Accessories: Blender pen, 1/2 inch Dusty Durango polka-dot grosgrain ribbon

My Mojo for Friday

I created this card for the MojoMonday #103 sketch here.

Its a fun sketch and this one came together fairly quickly once I finally decided which stamp set to use. I really love the Cottage Wall Designer Series papers. So many cute patterns to choose from. And much to my surprise, this card didn't use any punches. But of course it uses ribbon.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: For All You Do

Papers: Whisper white, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Cottage Wall DSP

Inks: Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry

Accessories: 1/2 inch Rich Razzleberry polka dot grosgrain ribbon

SC245-Snow Swirled

I've got another post for today. It makes up for the last few days! I made this Christmas card for the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge #245. I dusted off my Snow Swirled set and inked up the tree in Old Olive. Then I used the small snowflake inked in Real Red and Soft Suede, stamped that a few times then punched those out with the 1/2 inch circle punch. It makes the snowflakes kinda look like ornaments. The white paper is the Shimmery White card stock. It's hard to see in the picture but gives the card a "dressed up" look.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Snow Swirled

Papers: Shimmery White card stock, Real Red, Soft Suede, Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper

Inks: Old Olive, Real Red and Soft Suede

Accessories: 1/2 inch circle punch

PPA7-Hurried Halloween

Whew! Where did the week go? I finally got to stamp again today and I'm playing at PPA. Every Thursday they have a fun challenge of sorts and today's was a sketch challenge here. This one was very easy. I just stamped the Little Boo image three times in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Elegant Eggplant, punched that out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch, layered it with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch and popped it up with some Stampin' Dimensionals. I used one of the sentiments from the Pumpkin Patch set and the Large Oval and Scallop Oval. A little ribbon and it's done.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Pumpkin Patch, Little Boo

Papers: Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Cottage Wall DSP

Inks: Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories: 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/8 inch circle punches, Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches, 1/2 inch striped Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' dimensionals

Christmas Mojo

I've got the Christmas Mojo going on. I made this card for the MojoMonday turns 100 Day 6 sketch here. I did all seven sketches for that week but not necessarily in a week. I used the Delightful Decorations stamp set (Holiday Mini). I also used the coordinating ornament punch (Holiday Mini) to layer the images. Some silver elastic cord (Holiday Mini) was perfect to make the ornament seem three-dimensional. The ribbon is the 3/8 inch Old Olive taffeta from the Mistletoe Ribbon Originals(Holiday Mini). Finally, the paper is from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper(Holiday Mini). Just wanted to make sure you knew this card was made from all the cute things you can now order from the Holiday Mini catalog!
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Delightful Decorations
Papers: Whisper white, Real Red, Old Olive, Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Papers
Inks: Real Red and Old Olive
Accessories: 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/8 inch circle punches, Scallop circle punch, Ornament punch, Scallop edge punch, white gel pen, Silver elastic cord, 3/8 inch Old Olive taffeta Mistletoe Ribbon original

Playing with PPA #6!

Another good one over at PPA! I'm so happy I got to sneak downstairs to make this cute teacher thank you. Obviously I'm in the "back to school" mode and I immediately thought of The Write Stuff papers for this color challenge here at PPA!
The colors are Brocade Blue, Crushed Curry and Ruby Red.
The Holiday Blitz stamp set can be used for soooo many things and I thought the apple stamp would work well for the whole teacher thing. And the Spiral punch fits perfectly with my "back to school" theme. Pretty cute if I do say so myself!
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Holiday Blitz and Thank You Kindly
Papers: Whisper white, Brocade Blue, Crushed Curry and Ruby Red
Inks: Brocade Blue, Crushed Curry and Ruby Red Classic ink pads, Ruby Red, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip Stampin' write markers
Accessories: 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches, Spiral punch, scallop edge punch, 5/8 inch Brocade Blue grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' dimensionals

Easy Card to Showcase Designer Series Papers

I'm still catching up with the MojoMonday sketches from their 100th. They had a sketch every day and this is one of my favorites from a very talented lady, Mary Fish. I LOVE her work and you can see it here on her Stampin' Pretty site. I think this sketch is perfect to use with any of Stampin' UP!'s Designer Series Papers. You can show most of the paper designs in one card. And it's really easy to punch them out with the 1 1/4 inch square punch!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Trendy Trees

Papers: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Rose Red, Sahara Sand, Thoroughly Modern DSP

Inks: Bermuda Bay, Rose Red

Accessories: 1 1/4 inch square punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Rich Regals brads

Another Two for Tuesday

I'm double-dipping again with this card.

I combined the Splitcoast Color Combination #234 with the Splitcoast Card Sketch #244.

The colors were Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo. Here's the card sketch. I need a handful of "thinking of you" cards for Home & School so I've been making lots of those. These are always good to have on hand!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Circle Circus, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Whisper white, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Thoroughly Modern DSP, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP

Inks: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo

Accessories: Word window punch, Modern Label Punch

Time to order from the Holiday Mini!

It's September 1st and that means a few things. One, back to school for the kids (which means more stamping time for me-yeah!) and two, customers can order from the Holiday Mini Catalog! You can find a link here, call me or just order online!

I made this card for this sketch at Stamping 411. I haven't stamped in a while so I'm eager to catch up with some challenges. My first meeting as Home and School President went well and there's lots of work to be done. But there's always time to be found for stamping (let's hope)!

I used the Berry Christmas set and the Christmas Cocoa Specialty papers from the Holiday Mini. Even though I'm not a big fan of birds, this stamp looks especially nice with the branch and holly print of the Cocoa papers.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Berry Christmas
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Soft Suede and Christmas Cocoa Specialty Papers
Inks: Real Red and Soft Suede
Accessories: 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch circle punches, photo corners punch, 1/4 inch real red grosgrain ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig
