Color Challenge and a Sketch!

Good Morning Stampers! Happy Thursday!


Today's card combines two challenges again. :) I used Kristina Werner's Color Challenge and the Diva Coffee Break ladies came up with another great sketch!



I started out my card with my typical WW base, added a panel of Pacific Point stamped with the large star from the Nursery Necessities stamp set in White Craft Ink, and added my strip of Real Red stamped with one of the sentiments in the same set in Basic Black. I added the Silver Brads and stamped my moon and little stars in Summer Sun. I punched out my little stars with the Small Star Punch and hand cut the moon. I added my images using Snail and Dimensionals. Very simple, as almost all my cards are, but definitely packs a punch with the bright colors!

Hope you liked my card and to see you again tomorrow!

A Color Challenge and a Sketch!

Happy Monday Stampers! Hope you had a terrific weekend!

Today's card is another combination of challenges. I took Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Sketch and Kristina's Color Inspiration Challenge and put them together to create a card I am not too crazy about but it's Monday and it was still pretty early when I started.


I started with a Sahara Sand Base and added a panel of the Walk in the Park DSP from the Occasions Mini-I love this paper and you can get it FREE when you buy three packs of DSP through the end of May! I added a Whisper White Scallop Circle punched with the Sizzix Bigz Scallop Circles #2 Die, a strip of More Mustard and a piece of So Saffron punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. I used my 1/4" Circle Punch (retired) to punch mini circles in So Saffron, Sahara Sand and Baja Breeze to add to my More Mustard strip and used my White Gel Pen to add doodle dots to them and the scallops.
I used my new Beautiful Butterflies Sizzix Bigz Die to die cut a butterfly in Baja Breeze and another smaller one in the Walk in the Park DSP and layered them together. The flower is from the Daisies #2 Sizzix Bigz Die and is cut with Baja Breeze and So Saffron with a More Mustard center. The sentiment is stamped in Baja Breeze and is from the Great Friend set (love it!!). The final touch was to go around the littler butterfly with my 2-Way Glue Pen and add some Dazzling Diamonds for some shimmer!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a terrific day!

Another Two Challenges in One!

Good Morning Stampers! Yippee it's Friday! I'm excited because we are going camping with some friends this weekend at the lake. Sun, boating, family, friends and fun what more could I ask for for Mother's Day weekend? Well I guess I could add stamping in there to make it perfect but I'm not about to schlep my stamping stuff to the lake! :)

So obviously I'm a big fan of all these fabulous challenges out there and love to play along but sometimes I just have to combine them or I'd miss out! There's just not enough time in the day!


Today's card combines the Diva Coffee Break Challenge to use things from the current catalog and your Big Shot and Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge.

I started out with a Rose Red base, added a panel of More Mustard and a panel of Candy Lane DSP. I die cut my Rose Red and More Mustard pieces with the Daisies #2 Sizzix Bigz Die and layered the flowers together. The center is my 1/2" Circle punch with some more Candy Lane DSP and I placed the flowers on a strip of WW.
The sentiment comes from the Great Friend stamp set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink and punched with the Small Oval Punch. I layered it on Rose Red punched with the Large Oval Punch and then onto More Mustard punched with the Scallop Oval Punch. A little Chocolate Chip and Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon and it's done!


The fun thing about some challenges is that they really stretch you out of your "normal" habits! I rarely use More Mustard and cannot imagine ever pairing it with Rose Red on my own. But it works!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Great Friend Paper: Rose red, More Mustard, Candy Lane DSP, WW Ink: Chocolate Chip Accessories: Small, Large and Scallop Oval Punches, Rose Red and Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by to visit! I hope you have a great weekend, be sure to stop by I programmed some posts in advance so you'd have something to look at while I am on the boat watching my kids have a blast being dragged around the lake in the tube!

Kristina Werner's 50th Color Challange!!!

Wow I can't believe we are on #50 already of Kristina Werner's awesome color challenges! As I'm sure you have seen, I love to play along with challenges and sketches, but this one is one of my favorites! So many people play along and it's wonderful to see what everyone comes up with.


I started out with a WW card base, added a panel of Real red and some Tempting Turquoise punched with the Scallop Edge Punch, and sponged my background with Tempting Turquoise ink, a sponge and a scrap Scallop Oval. I made my boat using the 1 1/4" and 3/4" Square Punches and the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and cut them all in half. I sponged the edges or used the coordinating SU Marker and adhered them with Dimensionals. The sun is Summer Sun punched with the Scallop Circle Punch and the cloud is Whisper White punched with the new Scallop Oval from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

I think it turned out pretty cute! I was inspired by a swap I received that I showed in THIS post.

Ingredients:
Stamps: none! Paper: WW, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa Ink: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa Accessories: Scallop Circle and Scallop Oval Punches, 1 1/4" and 3/4" Square Punches, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Sponges, Scallop Edge Punch
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come back soon!

Two Challenges in One!

Good Morning Stampers! Hope you are enjoying your Easter weekend! Thanks for stopping by!


So yesterday after stamping my card using the colors from Kristina Werner's Color Challenge of the week I decided that they were a fun and challenging combo that really stretched me! Guess that's why they call it a "challenge" duh?! ;) So anyway I thought I'd have a go at that color combo again this time with a sketch challenge from Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge. I usually am a total CASE-r, that is my creations are almost always copied with slight changes from other creations I've seen out there in blogland and on my beloved Splitcoast Stampers and the Stamper's Showcase on the Stampin' Up website. The terrific thing I have found with doing these sketch challenges is that the creations are all my own! Whoo hoo I CAN actually come up with something original!
So today's card started out with a WW card base. I added a strip of Pacific Point cardstock with a little Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon running down it and then stamped my main image using Black, Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red and Pacific Point and the Eastern Blooms stamp set. The corners of it and the Rose Red mat are punched using the Ticket Corner Punch and then added to another mat of Basic Black. The large flower is from the Sizzix Bigz Die called Daisies #2 and the leaves are from the Sizzix Sizzlits Little Leaves. I layered those all together and then added a Rose Red flower from my Boho Blossoms Punch and added a little shine with a Metal Sticker from Colorbok (in the $1 section of our local Joann's). The sentiment is from the Great Friend set from the new Occasions Mini.

Ingredients:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms, Great Friend Paper: Pacific Point, Basic Black, WW, Rose Red Ink: Pacific Point, Basic Black, Rose Red, Kiwi Kiss Accessories: Sizzix Bigz Daisies #2, Sizzix Sizzlits Little Leaves, Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon, Metal Sticker, Dimensionals, Ticket Corner Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch

I have to say I really like this card. Judging by my total lack of comments on my Swap or Not to Swap post (click HERE to see it)I'm thinking you guys hate them but are too nice to tell me! ;)

Hope you all have a great Easter tomorrow and that the Easter Bunny brings you lots of goodies (all fat and calorie free of course!)

A New Challenge

Good Morning Stampers! Happy Good Friday to you!



As I was doing my typical hour long blog surf the other day I happened upon a fun blog that I have since favorited. Kerin Sylvester does weekly sketch challenges at her blog Stamps, Paper, Glitter and I thought this week I'd play along using the colors from Kristina Werner's Color Challenge for this week.

When I saw Pacific Point as one of the colors in Kristina's challenge for the week I knew I wanted to use the bird from Good Friend and the coordinating paper from the Good Morning Sunshine DSP. Those little birds are just too cute!

I started out with my fairly typical WW card base, added my strips of Good Morning Sunshine DSP and my Basic Black cardstock with little strips of Kiwi Kiss. I then stamped the bird image in Pacific Point and Rose Red and stamped the beak and tail again on a scrap so I could add Dimensionals to them and popped them up for interest. I managed to stamp these without my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line my images up perfectly, but it would have been a good time to use it-I was lucky! I matted my main panel in Basic Black and added some Sizzix Sizzlits Little Leaves in Kiwi Kiss to make it look like my bird was in a tree. The final touch was my sentiment from the Only Ovals set layered on a Rose Red Scallop Oval both from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Don't forget about Stampin' Up's current Get Connected Promotion! For the month of April when you purchase $40 in product from the Occasions Mini Catalog or $150 from either the Occasions Mini or the big Idea Book and Catalog (or hostess a workshop for that amount)you get to choose anything from the "Under $10" section of the Idea Book and Catalog for FREE!! (It's on page 208) Who can pass up FREE STAMPS?!?!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Oval All, Good Friend Paper: WW, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Good Morning Sunshine DSP Ink: Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Rose Red, Pacific Point Accessories: Sizzix Sizzlits Little Leaves, Scallop Oval Punch, Dimensionals, Googlie Eye

Have a fantastic Friday and I'll see you tomorrow.

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

Good morning stampers! Hope you had a nice weekend!

Today's card combines two challenges once again! I really liked the color combo of Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White from Kristina Werner's Color Challenge for the week so I decided to use those colors again this time with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.
I started out with another square card base of 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" in Baja Breeze (using another one of those CD envelopes-maybe I'll have all 200 used by next year!!) I stamped a background using a small flower from Eastern Blooms also in Baja Breeze. I stamped my two panels in Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, and stamped off Chocolate Chip in various flowers from the Eastern Blooms set and matted them in Chocolate Chip. The butterfly is from the Great Friend set now available in the Occasions Mini Catalog. I stamped it in Kiwi Kiss, cut it out and stuck a jeweled brad (Making Memories) in the center and adhered it with a Dimensional.
The sentiment is from the Only Ovals set also from the Occasions Mini Catalog and is stamped in Baja Breeze, punched with the Large Oval Punch and matted with a Scallop Oval punched piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added White Gel Pen doodle dots around the border of the Scallop Oval.


Ingredients:
Stamps: Great Friend, Eastern Blooms, Only Ovals Paper: WW, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip Ink: Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip Accessories: White Gel Pen, Dimensionals, Jeweled brad (Making Memories), Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch

Thanks so much for stopping by and feel free to comment on my card! I love to hear from my readers! :)
See you tomorrow!

Two Challenges, One Card

Hi there Stampers! Thanks for joining me today!
I stamped this card yesterday after checking out some of my favorite blogs and decided to combine two challenges in one. The first challenge is Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge and the second is Taylor's Cupcake Challenge sketch. Both are such fun to play along with!

I started by making my card 5 1/4" x 5 1/4", small enough to use one of my zillions of CD envelopes as an envelope if I ever send this baby out! I knew I kept these for a reason! ;)
The card base is Baja Breeze stamped in the same color using my new Fifth Avenue Floral stamps. I tried and tried to resist this set and finally just caved in *sigh* Now that I have it I love it! I stamped my two square panels in Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss and matted them with Chocolate Chip. The center flower was stamped in Chocolate Chip then colored in with a blender pen in Baja Breeze. I popped it up on dimensionals in the center and added some Dazzling Diamonds with my 2 way glue pen. The sentiment comes form the new Great Friend set in the Occasions Mini.
The final touch is adding two of my Filagree Brads in the corner, positioning them just so with my Mat Pack. I've been hiding these brads away and almost forgot I had them! They are super cute!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Great Friend, Fifth Avenue Floral Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, WW Ink: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss Accessories: Dimensionals, Filagree Brads, Mat Pack, 2 Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds

So glad you stopped by! Have a great rest of your weekend!

Sock Monkey Mojo

Happy Weekend Stampers! Today's card combines two challenges in one, the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge. I can't believe it is Sunday already and only now I've had time to do the Mojo Monday sketch!
I started out with a Tangerine Tango base then stamped my Sock Monkey in Chocolate Chip and added the speckles by masking off part of the monkey and stamping with the speckles from Itty Bitty Backgrounds. I colored the rest of him and the balloons in and popped up the party hat and Tangerine Tango balloon. I added a So Saffron Scallop Edge along the bottom and used my Mat Pack and Paper Piercer to line up my chocolate brads.
These colors remind me of the picture of my room when I was a baby-yellow, orange and brown! So 70's!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Itty Bitty Backgrounds, Sock Monkey Paper: Tangerine Tango, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, WW Ink: Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, So Saffron Accessories: Blender Pen, Scallop Edge Punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Brads, Dimensionals, SU Markers

Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Stop by tomorrow to see what I post next!
Hugs,

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge

Good Morning Stampers! It's that time again...time for another Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge!
This weeks colors were a bit of a stretch for me-I guess I don't usually use that many color-at least not without one of them being white! I like how my card turned out in the end though.
I started with a Bashful Blue base, added a mat of Basic Black and then used my Boho Blossoms Punch to punch out 3 of the medium size flower in each color, Ridinghood Red, Bashful Blue, Regal Rose, and Pretty in Pink. I added a silver metal sticker to each flower and stuck them on the mat using Mini Glue Dots. The sentiment is from a new stamp set that is available April 1st in the new Occcasions Mini Catalog called Matchbox Messages. I stamped it in Basic Black on Bashful Blue, punched it out with my 1 1/4" Circle Punch, matted it with a Ridinghood Red 1 3/8" Circle Punch and attached it to a Pretty in Pink Scallop Circle that I pierced the scallops with my 1/16" Handheld Punch. I added it to the Bashful Blue Ribbon with some Silver Cording from the Winter Mini. What do you think?

Ingredients:
Stamps: Matchbox Messages Paper: Bashful Blue, Ridinghood Red, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Basic Black Ink: Basic Black Accessories: 1 1/4" Circle Punch 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Metal Circle Stickers (Colorbok), Mini Glue Dots, Bashful Blue Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Elastic Cording (retired), 1/16" Handheld Punch

Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge!

Good morning stampers! Whoo hoo! It's time for another Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge! These are sooo much fun! I am so glad I got to play!


So I still had the Just Jawing set on my table and since my last card with that set was mostly black, white and gray I figured I stick with it! But I didn't want it to be the same boring card so I dug through my stash of patterns and templates and pulled out the Spring Card Template. I got this template at a Whoo Hoo Stampers Event 2 yrs ago-it doesn't say who to credit so if you made this template, thank you and please contact me so I can credit you properly :)

I started out with a 10" x 5" piece of WW cardstock and scored it like the diagram. To get the diagonal score lines I just lined up the corners on the "cutting" line of my cardstock cutter and ran the scoring blade down it. Once I had it all scored and folded I added my Rockabilly DSP pieces to the bottom (the large rectangle piece) the the 4 smaller triangle sections. Next I stamped my black stars randomly around the background being careful not to get it on my DSP panels (I probably should have done the stamping first then added the panels). I added Sticky Strip on the largest triangle panel above the scored rectangle and folded it down to make the "spring" of my Spring Card. I added my skull with dimensionals after adding a little sparkle to its eyes with Dazzling Diamonds. I stamped the sentiment and notched the ends with my 3/4" Square Punch and added a black bow made shiny with Crystal Effects. Make sure if you use Crystal Effects that you leave it alone to dry for a while-don't get impatient or you'll have a mess and have to make a new one! The fun thing about a Spring Card is that it folds flat to mail and sits up nicely to be displayed when the recipient get it!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Just Jawing Paper: Rockabilly DSP, WW Ink: Basic Black Accessories: Dimensionals, Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-Way Glue Pen, Sticky Strip, 3/4" Square Punch
Hope you liked my card and aren't sick of skulls! ;)
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Color Challenge

Good Morning Stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's I made a card for this week's color challenge over at Kristina Werner's blog. The colors were fairly easy to work with and I still had my Level 3 Hostess set Goody Goody Gumdrops out. The ice cream image is super cute paired with the mini cherry. Since we couldn't use red, I thought a chocolate covered pink one would suffice! ;)

Ingredients:
Stamps: Goody Goody Gumdrops Paper: Candy Lane DSP, WW, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa Ink: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, Chocolate Chip SU Marker Accessories: Button Bouquet, Paper Piercer and Mat Pack, Large Oval Punch, Designer Label Punch, Scallop Square Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Blender Pen, Dimensionals

Hope you have a terrific day!
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Kristina Werner Color Challenge

Good Morning Stampers! I'm so glad it's the weekend and today promises to be a warm sunny day here in Southern California-yippee! I'll be spending a few hours outside with my daughter's Girl Scout troop selling everyone's favorite...COOKIES!

Today's card is my submission for this week's color inspiration challenge over at Kristina Werner's blog. I started out with an Old Olive base, added a panel of Ruby Red embossed with the Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and then my Pumpkin Pie matte with a scalloped edge border of Bordering Blue (ha ha a border of Bordering Blue-I'm a dork-it's ok, I know it!). My main image is from the Cheep Talk set (LOVE IT!)that I inked up with my SU markers and punched the corners out with my Ticket Corner Punch. The final touch is a knotted felt ribbon that resembles our SU felt ribbon from the Winter Mini, but was something I actually found in a dollar bin at Michael's.
Ingredients:
Stamps: Cheep Talk Paper: Old Olive, Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, WW, Bordering Blue Ink: SU Markers in same colors Accessories: Ticket Corner Punch, Glue Dots, Non-SU Ribbon, Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Scallop Edge Punch

Kristina Werner Color Challenge

Good Morning Stampers! How are you? I am hoping and praying for a much better day because yesterday was a rough one on me. I have a workshop this afternoon so I know that will cheer me up.
Today's card is one I came up with totally by myself-that doesn't happen too often! ;) Generally my cards are based on ones I've seen or shamelessly copied! I get the best ideas from the blogs I follow and from Splitcoast Stampers. Thanks for sharing all your awesome ideas ladies!

I started with a Kiwi Kiss base layered with a Cuttlebugged Traffic Jam More Mustard piece. The next layer is Really Rust stamped in the same color with the swirly stamp from Trendy Trees. The main image is also from Trendy Trees (can you tell from my recent posts that it is one of my favorites?!?!)I used my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the trees in the center of my white square. I framed it using the negative of a leftover chipboard scallop square colored with Really Rust. I finished it all off with some Kiwi Kiss Striped Ribbon. I really like how it turned out. Now if only I could take my photos straight!!
Ingredients:
Stamps: Trendy Trees Paper: Kiwi Kiss, More Mustard, Really Rust, WW Ink: Kiwi Kiss, More Mustard, Really Rust Accessories: Chipboard, Kiwi Kiss Ribbon, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Traffic Jam Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Kristina Werner Color Challenge #41

Hey there Stampers! Hope you are having a great Valentine's Day so far! It's time to play along with another Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge! These are so much fun to do! If you haven't tried one, you should! I'd love to see what you came up with!

For this challenge I decided to finally ink up the Flight of the Butterfly set I've had for a while. It's such a cute set, I have no idea why I haven't inked it up sooner! This card came together quickly without too much effort although I did pull out my trusted Stamp-a-majig to get the butterfly's polka dots just right. :)
I included a close up of the card so you can see the embossed black background. I love those embossing folders, they add such depth to any project!

Ingredients:
Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly Paper: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Ridinghood Red, WW Ink: Basic Black, Ridinghood Red Accessories: 1" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Ridinghood Red Striped Ribbon, Polka Dot Ribbon (Michael's)Dimensionals, Stamp-a-majig, Ticket Corner Punch, Cuttlebug Spots and Dots Embossing Folder
Thanks for stopping by!

It is also my submission for Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #40 I thought it was going to be a tough color combo especially adding the teal but it came together pretty cute in my humble opinion!
Ingredients:
Stamps: Under the Stars, Wow Flowers (sentiment) Paper: Taken with Teal, So Saffron, More Mustard, WW Ink: Basic Black, So Saffron Accessories: Designer Label Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Word Window Punch, Dimensionals, SU Markers

Color Inspiration Challenge

It's time for another Kristina Werner Color Inspiration Challenge! These are fun to do especially when you like the color combination! :)

So for this challenge I decided to make a refrigerator magnet calendar. I started out with a plain coaster, covered it with Old Olive DSP, and attached a self-adhesive mini calendar I got from Vippies. I then punched holes with the bigger hole on my Crop-A-Dile and threaded some Chocoloate Chip Grosgrain ribbon tied into a bow. To finish it off, I added a textured Pumpkin Pie Die Cut flower with a Baja Breeze Boho Blossom punch flower and a white button with white ribbon tied in the center.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Stems

I inked up some new rubber today! This set from the new catalog coming Jan. 18th is called Sweet Stems. I inked up the stems in black and then colored them in with my SU markers in Regal Rose, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and then outlined them with Sahara Sand. I punched them out with my 1 1/4" circle punch and layered it on 1 3/8" Pretty in Pink circles. That is popped up with dimensionals on a piece of Old Olive cardstock that I stamped one of the stems randomly in Old Olive. Behind that is a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock that I paper pierced using my Mat Pack. That's layered onto a piece of Regal Rose cardstock also randomly stamped with one of the stems in Regal Rose. It's all stuck onto a white card base and finished off with a piece of Pretty in Pink and Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.

It is based off of THIS card I found at Splitcoast by Lisa Henke.
It also uses the colors in Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge. These challenges are fun and often times makes you pull out those colors that you just don't use often. I didn't make the deadline for this one but loved this color combo and will definitely use it again especially for Valentine's Day!

Ingredients:

• Stamps:Sweet Stems (#113726 available 1/19!!)
• Paper: WW (Whisper White), Old Olive, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink Ink: Black, Old Olive, Regal Rose Accessories: Dimensionals, Mat Pack (#105826)Old Olive and Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch
