Watercooler Wednesday 128 – Heidi’s Masculine ‘Anything Goes’ Challenge

July 19, 2017 · 6 Comments

Happy Watercooler Wednesday, middle of the week, favorite day – whatever it is for you!

For me, it’s time to create a card for a new challenge over here.

We always need masculine ideas – so this is a GREAT challenge to have!

Surprise! I was playing with this Birthday memories Suite again!

I am loving this whole bit of adorable products as you know! The chef here is a stamped image and die cut with a framelit.

I think it’s very clever how it appears that the icing is actually being squeezed from the tube to write these letters. At first, I didn’t understand this stamp set – now, it makes total sense!!!

This was a simple card to. Took minimal time to create it.

Did you know the Birthday Delivery Bundle includes the stamp set, framelits and the Designer Series Paper for one low price?? You’re ready to create a card like this at a moments notice because you have everything need!

And, I’m going to include the Balloon Honeycomb Embellishments, free when someone, perhaps you, purchases this bundle! That’s in addition to the $5.00 coupon that Stampin’ Up will give you during bonus days. You can do it here! Use hostess code, N3HH9XKF.

Back to the challenge and the masculine cards……Head on over to Watercooler Wednesday and see the other Design Team members ‘masculine’ cards – get inspired and JOIN US!! You can link up your creation on our blog.

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Birthday Delivery
Framelits – Birthday Friends, Layering Circles
Bundles – Birthday Delivery

That Poodle Though…..

July 14, 2017 · 4 Comments

It feels soooo good to create just to create!

Well, ok. I am creating potential cards for a Card Buffet next weekend.

I want to feature the Birthday Memories Suite from the new Stampin’ Up catalog. And, I just love this poodle!

Don’t you?? And, it gets better. It’s printed Designer Series Paper that you framelit cut the poodle!!!! Yay!! (There is also a poodle stamp that works with the framelit too!)

All I did was stamp the sentiment and the packages! How easy is that?? I think this card is a GO for the card Buffet!

I’m inspired to create a few more cards with this fabulous bundle. The bundle price includes the stamp set, framelits and the Designer Series Paper!!! That way, you’re ready to create at a moments notice because you have everything needed!

And, I’m going to include the Balloon Honeycomb Embellishments, free when someone, perhaps you, purchases this bundle! That’s in addition to the $5.00 coupon that Stampin’ Up will give you during bonus days. Want to order this bundle? You can do it here! Use hostess code, N3HH9XKF.

Back to our Saturday Blog Hop. Our theme this week is Black and white.

This is perfect because I love to create in black and white. I went with a favorite bundle of mine –

The focal point and the leaves are all popped up! The Mini-sized Dimensionals sure came in handy behind the leaves. They are so tiny! No more cutting them in half!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Time for a wonderful challenge from Watercooler Wednesday!

I chose to show off a card from my May Card Buffet –

It showcases a new product suite,Eastern Palace, that is available now and the products will be sold individually in the upcoming new catalog.

The focal image was stamped in the two colors. I was able to use two dies and cut with one pass for the outer line and the inner semi-cut line! Pretty cool these dies.

This card also uses a new in-color too, Lemon Lime Twist!!!

Come see what the other designers created and join us this week! After all, ‘Anything Goes’ applies to just about any card you can make!

Llama Love

May 25, 2017 · 6 Comments

Spending a little time paper crafting for Create with Connie and Mary . It’s Thursday and we have a new challenge –

This is a really great sketch. I was torn between using soon-to-retire products or new stuff. I went with soon-to-retire, because I won’t get to feature them for much longer.

Can’t go wrong with the Birthday Fiesta bundle and matching Designer Series Paper.

Isn’t this the cutest!?!? I am going to miss this Llama. I mean, who has a Llama framelit? Really?

This just made me smile. Big. And, it was a great way to use this suite just one more time! It is available until May 31.

Take a look at all the wonderful creations the other Design team members came up with on our Create with Connie and Mary site. You can create a card and link up to our Facebook page.

Looking forward to seeing your creations!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Birthday Fiesta

Playing around with old, retiring and new! And, a bit of Christmas too!

I designed this card for the months online orders –

Isn’t it just beautiful?

What’s old? the crocheted lace ribbon

What’s retiring, also Christmas? the Designer Series Paper, The Christmas Specialty

What’s new? Eastern Medallion Thinlits

Lots of other products went into creating this sweet little number too. And, did you notice, there is no stamping on this card either!?!? Also sweet!

Perhaps you are one of the lucky recipients this month of this card! We all love Happy Mail!!!!

Happy start of another week! April almost over! Yikes!

At my April Card Buffet, I designed a simple dragonfly card with Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.

I admit. I hadn’t gotten these until recently – yes, I know they have been all the rage. This turned out to be a popular card too.

It’s simple. It’s clean. It’s cheery. It’s pretty. Agree?

The dragonflies are popped up on dimensionals as if they are flying – so elegant!

And, as a bonus, these thinlits will be in the new catalog! So, they are a good addition to your framelit collection.

Stamp Set – All Things Thanks
Framelits – Detailed Dragonfly, Layering Circles
Card Stock – Whisper White, Basic Black, Melon Mambo

Sweet Strawberries

March 28, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday!

Time for a Try Stampin’ on Tuesday challenge.

This week we have a sketch designed by Donna –

Challenge #315. Optional theme : Three Different Patterns.

What a creative sketch! I was inspired to create this –

I loved pulling out some – FREE with a $50 purchase and – soon-to-retire DSP – Designer Series Paper to create this fresh’n fruity card!

My ‘three’ patterns are the polka dot background paper from Tasty Treats, and the partial circle and strawberries from Fruit Stand DSP! Yes, those strawberries are hand cut from one of the patterns!!! How cool is that?

Side note, the Fruit Stand is a FREE option for a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.

Cool layout. Cool card using cool layout!

Please leave me a comment about your thoughts on the card. I’d love a read from you.

Check out what the other Design Team created here. You can link up your card either on our blog or Facebook! See you there!

Galentine Day

February 13, 2017 · 7 Comments

Just makin’ a silly card for Galentine Day**!

I ran across this sketch for TGIF Challenges that really caught my eye –

I love the focal point up in the corner!

I played around with a few things but ended up really liking this –

It’s fun, non Valentine.

I created the layer for the corner. I die cut a scallop circle that I wrapped around that corner. The circle is made from those Sending Love Glassine sheets (page 14) from the Occasions Mini. I bet you didn’t even notice them did you? I flipped it over so you don’t really see the pattern on them.

It made a perfect canvas to stamp my word, G A L E T I N E on!

It’s simply a fun card!

I think I’ll give it to my daughter later for our Galentine lunch!

Comments are always welcomed and a joy to read!

**Galentine’s Day is a holiday Amy Poehler’s Parks and Rec character Leslie Knope created that occurs every year on Feb. 13, the day before Valentine’s Day. As Leslie herself explains on the show: “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year.

Birthday Wild

February 12, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Currently I am creatin’ when I can……it’s a busy, busy, busy week….

I have a Card Buffet next weekend and challenge alway seem to help me figure it out!

I liked this challenge from a Facebook group, Stampin’ Girls Gone Wild –

It’s just a classic layout!

In no time I created this –

It’s such a sweet birthday card! This DSP really helped to create a fabulous card without effort!

The circle focal point I did move to the other side (from the sketch) because it just looked better over the sentiment. The font of this sentiment in Milestone Moments matches this paper perfectly! Sometimes that’s really hard to find just the right stamp!

And, I also used dimensionals to raise the focal point a bit.

What do you think? We have a winner? Would this be a great choice on the Card Buffet next weekend? Comments are always welcomed!

Quick share today!

I ran across Global Design Project’s new color challenge –

Some really cool colors! Fun. Bright. Great for a birthday card!!!

I created this in a jiffy –

I love it! So happy. So fun! So cheery. So BIRTHDAY!

And, when you open it, a nifty window card!

See what I mean?

I used some Envelope Liner Paper (yes, remember that stuff?) for the front DSP pattern. And, some really pretty Sale-a-Bration ribbon for the cake plate tie. That was just the right addition for the card!

I hope you like it! I love to read your comments!

February 2, 2017 · 4 Comments

Yesterday was a big day for me with three posts and lots of creative ideas to share!

Today, I have designed a card for Create with Connie and Mary as I usually do on Thursdays.

Here is our sketch to get your creative juices going –

I created something really sweet for all who stopped by to see me Wednesday leaving all the endless comments!

Isn’t this nice??? It’s just very sweet.

I am LOVING these Stylish Stems Framelits! I can seem to quit designing with them!

I have the matching stamp set, Special Reason, but I chose to use a different one for this sentiment. Endless Thanks was perfect for the sentiment here. I fussy cut – I know, your favorite thing to do – the banner here.

I hope you love this special card I created. Thank for following me and leaving me compliments!

Please view our sketch challenge and see all the inspirational design team creations over at Create with Connie and Mary. To show off your card, go to our Facebook page to link up your creation.

Valentine Love

January 12, 2017 · 12 Comments

That’s right. That holiday will be here before we know it too!

Over at Create with Connie and Mary this week, we have a great color challenge that inspired my card for Valentine’s.

Here are the colors –

Says LOVE to me!!! Right?

Well, I got creative this time with a non-stamped card –

It was a bit hard to photograph the front because of the front panel.

This is a side view for a better explanation. The hearts are adhered to the front of the card over the ‘window’.

I added the ‘love’ sentiment from the same set of framelits!

When the card is fully opened this is what it looks like!

The Whisper White panel does extend onto the back of the red panel.

I can’t wait to leave this for the hubs later in the month. I forget to leave cards around for my family. They really do enjoy receiving them still!

Have I inspired you yet?

If I haven’t, perhaps the other design team members have at Create With Connie and Mary. Take time to get your creativity on and join us this week!

If I did, then please leave me a good read!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – none (can you believe it??)
Dies – Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Layering Circles Framelits,
Card Stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Basic Black, Crumb Cake
DSP – Sending Love

Simple Joys of Green for Christmas

December 13, 2016 · Leave a Comment

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted for try Stampin on Tuesday. Although we have a new challenge every week, the design teams participate every other week.

This is my week. Here is the great sketch to inspire us –

Challenge #301. Theme : Twinkle, Twinkle

I really, really liked this sketch!

I went with this idea –

I love traditional red and green for Christmas, but……..green and black – too pretty as well!

And, for my twinkle, twinkle? Sparkly glimmer paper counts too, doesn’t it?

This card is just simply – F U N !!! I love it! It will be a quick one to replicate for the holidays too.

Spooky Night for WWC

October 5, 2016 · 2 Comments

I so look forward to Wednesdays! It’s my challenge for Watercooler Wednesday day.

This week we have a great sketch from Heidi herself, the creator of the blog!

I love what she chose. Something different. Sort of edgy! Just a really cool idea!

And this is what I did with it –

I love this! I’m sort of a stickler for following a sketch to the last detail! And I did so here too!

I added a little dimension for a little added pop.

A few different stamps helped create this. I just started playing around until I liked it.

Now this is ready to send out to someone special! Who will be the lucky one????

The other Design Team members have created some wonderful cards too. Please check them out at Watercooler Wednesday!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Spooky Fun, Timeless Textures, You’ve Got This

Sweater Comfort, WWC

September 28, 2016 · 2 Comments

Sorry. It’s been a few days since you’ve seen my creativity.

But, it Wednesday and time for another wonderful challenge from Watercooler Wednesday!

The host this week is Kathe!

And this is her fabulous sketch to play with –

These are always good ones! Masculine. Love these because these truly are a challenge to create.

I decided to kick it up a notch with my masculine theme.

What if you had a guy friend who was dealing with something and needed a little extra support?

Well……how about sending this to show support –

Isn’t this nice?

It uses the nifty new Cable Knit Dynamic EF that looks as cozy as a real sweater!!

It’s fabulous! So detailed!

I paired it with another product from the Holiday Mini, Suite Seasons. These two products worked sooo well to create the perfect masculine comfort card!

I think any guy would love to receive this! What do you think?

Supplies used –

Stamp Set – Suite Seasons
Card Stock – Dapper Denim, Sahara Sand

For You, Thoughtful Branches

September 19, 2016 · 2 Comments

Quick Monday share.

I had a very busy past few days!! But, I wanted to take a few minutes to share with you.

This was one of the more popular cards from my Card Buffet this weekend –

Everyone loved it!

Last month, a few customers ordered this Thoughtful Branches bundle. I hadn’t advertised it because I don’t like to bombard everyone with emails all time, but, they all ran across this fabulous buy and purchased it! I thought to myself, guess I’d better order it too. Well, it’s quickly became a favorite! So, it was a good decision.

And, as far as of this posting, it’s still available. But until quantities last.

I think you’ll see this bundle a few more times this week. I’ve got lots planned with it!

What do you think? One of your favorites?

Happy Stampin’
