Mojo Sketch#160 Happy Halloween

My computer died on Monday so I haven't been able to get at pictures to post. Here's a quick post and hope to be back regularly soon!
This one is for the MojoMonday sketch #160 here.
Concord Crush is the base with some DSP from the DSP Paper Pack In-Color. I also used some Old Olive from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. There's some Peach Parfait too. I made the scallop border by cutting up a flower that was punched with the XL Fancy Flower punch. I learned this cool trick here, from the uber-talented Mary Fish. I used the Modern Label and the Curly Label punches and pieced together the Concord Crush border on the left side. I stamped Happy Halloween from All Holidays in Peach Parfait. I stamped the hat from Wicked Cool in Concord Crush, cut it out and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals. I added three Old Olive brads, lining them up perfectly with the Mat Pack. Finally, some 1/2 inch Peach Parfait stitched-poly finishes it off.

CAS Real Red Christmas

I'm on a Clean & Simple card kick lately. And since I had a new stampin' friend coming over to get some basic stamping tips I thought I'd show her how to make this card. I think this one also qualifies for the new Clean and Simple stamping feature on Stamping 411 here.

I stamped the ornament from Delightful Decorations in Real Red and punched it out with the XL Ornament punch. I popped that up with Stampin dimensionals. Merry Christmas from All Holidays was also stamped in Real Red. Finally, I added some Old Olive 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon.

Father's Day Cards with Travel Journal DSP

Here's a trio of Father's Day cards I made using the Travel Journal DSP and the All Holidays and Holiday Blitz stamp set.
I think these papers are perfect for masculine cards! For each one I stamped "Happy Father's Day" twice then cut out the "father's" sentiment in the second color. And on two cards I added the tie from Holiday Blitz.
I know my husband, my dad and my brother won't be checking out my blog today so I figured I'd be safe posting them.
Here's the recipe:
Stamps: All Holidays and Holiday Blitz
Papers: Whisper White, Kraft, Bashful Blue, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie and Travel Journal DSP
Inks: Bashful Blue, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: 3/4 inch circle punch, 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain, 1/2 inch striped Pumpkin Pie grosgrain, paper piecing tool, Stampin dimensionals

Stamping 411#155 Father's Day

This is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch #155 here.
I need a few Father's Day cards for this Sunday so I used the stamp from All Holidays and the little tie from the soon to retire set, Holiday Blitz. The DSP is Travel Journal DSP from the Summer Mini. I stamped the "Happy Father's Day" twice, once in Pumpkin Pie then again in Night of Navy and cut out the "Father's" portion and popped it up with a Stampin dimensional.
I stamped the tie in Pumpkin Pie and adhered that onto a 3/4 inch punched circle of Night of Navy.
A piece of 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain finishes of this simple and quick card.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: All Holidays and Holiday Blitz
Papers: Whisper white, Kraft, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie and Travel Journal DSP

Father's Day Splitcoast Sketch#280

I haven't used my To the Nines Specialty paper lately and I think they're perfect for a Father's Day card. I paired the papers with the Splitcoast sketch #280 here.
I started with a base of Sahara Sand card stock. Then, I just cut the coordinating papers to fit the sketch. I also added some Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip card stock. The sentiment is from All Holidays and I stamped that in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White then stamped it again in Sahara Sand and cut that out and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.
Here's the recipe:
Stamps: All Holidays
Papers: Whisper White, Always Artichoke,Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, To the Nines Specialty
Inks: Chocolate Chip and Sahara Sand

PPA#16 Christmas Cheer Patterned Pines

This one is for the PPA#16 Theme Challege: Christmas Cheer here. If this looks familiar it's because I CASEed it from the Holiday Mini on page 4. I did change it up a bit. I stamped one tree in Real Red and the other in Old Olive on Whisper White card stock then cut them out. I added a Real Red strip that was punched with the scallop edge punch. And the sentiment is from All Holidays. I'm loving the Sleigh Bells ribbon!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Patterned Pines and All Holidays

Papers: Whisper white, Real Red, Old Olive and Old Olive Patterns

Inks: Real Red and Old Olive

Accessories: Sleigh Bells ribbon, scallop edge punch
