Birthday Hoot

Once again posting this on the last day.  This card is for the Mod Squad Challenge which is to make your own background.  Thought I would pull out my Lots of Washi stamp set and attempt my background.  It started off straight and somewhere along the way I went caddywompus.  Character ... lots of character!

Stamps:  Birthday Hoot, Lots of Washi, Basket Additions 2 (GKD)

Paper:  White, Early Espresso (SU)

Ink:  Walnut (Lawn Fawn)

Accessories:  colored pencils (Prismacolor); OMS; Scan n Cut (Brother); oval die (Spellbinders); square embossing folder (Cuttlebug); glossy accents (Ranger); pop dots (Michaels)

Thought I would use a different medium other than my Copics.  They are still my favorite coloring tool.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ....

Have a great day!

My anchor ...

It has been a snowy day, so after shoveling this morning, I stayed inside and made some cards for a few challenges.  This card is for two challenges.  I'm entering it into the Pals Paper Arts for the layout and Simon Says Stamps for Anything Goes featuring Lawn Fawn products.

Stamps:  Float My Boat (Lawn Fawn); Itty Bitty Backgrounds (SU)

Paper:  Crumb Cake, White (SU)

DP:  Bold Basics (Recollections)

Ink:  Mermaid, Cranberry (Lawn Fawn); Crumb Cake (SU); Versamark

Accessories:  clear embossing powder; eyelet; twine; edge distresser; oval die (Spellbinders)

To emboss my sentiment, I inked the saying in Versamark first and then into the mermaid ink.  I was pleased with the way this card turned out.  Always need some masculine cards on hand.

Here are some pics of the snow at my house.  It is so pretty!

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Masculine anniversary card

My anniversary is coming up next week and I needed a card for my wonderful husband.  I checked out the new MOJO sketch and thought it would be good for a masculine card.  

The sketch ...

My anniversary card ...

Stamps:  Farm Life (GKD)

Paper:  River Rock, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso (SU)

DP:  Well Worn (SU)

Ink:  Memento Black, Tea Dye (Ranger)

Accessories:  Copics, brads, pop dots

I know it is not a very romantic card but it is perfect for my hubby.  The inside is stamped with the sentiment that comes with this set and reads ... "The most beautiful view is the one I share with you."

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

A roar of a birthday ...

I needed a masculine birthday card for my brother so I headed over to Tuesday Morning Sketches to see what they had this week.  I thought this was a great sketch to go with ...

 

From that I made this ...

 

Stamps:  Zoo Review, Plane & Simple (SU)

Paper:  White, Gray

DP:  Bolds Basics (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  circle dies (Spellbinders), Copics, word window punch, bitty banners die (SU), pop dots, eyelets, twine

 

I did leave out the scallop circle ... thought that might be a little much for my brother.  I added a bit of hardware and twine to give some depth.  This was a fast card to put together.

 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

 

Have a great day,

War Eagle ...

Today's card is headed to Auburn but not to Michael.  This one is going to the apartment office with the rent in it.  I figure if I have to write that check, I am going to do something fun with it.  Don't know if they will appreciate it but I did enjoy making it.  

My card was inspired by Pals Paper Arts sketch this week.  

I used the layout but just did a little flipping and rotating.  Here is my finished card ...

Stamps:  In Wilderness, Alphabet (unknown)

Paper:  White, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip

Ink:  Memento Black, Tangerine Tango, Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue

Accessories:  Sizzix embossing folder, Copics, deckle scissors (non SU), edge distresser, sponge dauber, pop dots

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

After running the white cardstock through the embossing folder, I swiped my ink pad over the raised images.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

You Make Me Laugh ...

My inspiration for today's card came from Freshly Made Sketches ...

I'm on a masculine roll right now.  I've been sending cards to my son and nephew and don't have a whole lot in the college box.  So this will be another one for the guys in the box.

Stamps:  Card Games, Game Night

Paper:  White, Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard

DSP:  Basic Gray

Ink:  Riding Hood Red

Accessories:  Forest branches and dominoes embossing folder (CB), corner rounder, dimensionals

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted

After embossing the dominoes on the white cardstock, I ran my ink pad directly over the raised images.  A very simple card here.

Man's best friend ...

Here is a quick card that I threw together for my college box using The Paper Players sketch ...

I think this is a great layout for a masculine card.  I didn't accessorize too much since it will be going postal and it will be for my son.  

Stamps:  Ruff Day, dog bone (All Night Media)

Paper:  Vanilla, Cajun Craze

DSP:  Well Worn

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  Copics, pop dots, Nestabilities rectangle dies

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Have to admit that I'm not crazy about the border around my rectangles.  That is one thing that I don't like about Nestabilities ... too much border.  I do like how quick it makes for layering though.  

Have a great holiday weekend!

Thanks for stopping by,

Eagle Scout Card

Here is another card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches.  I loved this sketch!

This card went to my neighbor who achieved the top honor of Eagle Scout.  I even went to You Tube to learn how to tie a knot.  This is a figure eight knot. I picked out a very simple one so I could follow the directions...hehehe.

Stamps:  In Wilderness, Itty Bitty Banners

Paper:  White, Brown (non SU)

DSP:  Paper Studio

Ink:  Memento Black Always Artichoke

Accessories:  Copics, twine, Bitty Banner Framelits, pop dots, Nestabilities Label One, eyelets (non SU)

All supples are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

Pals Color Challenge and FMS sketch ....

I have two cards to share today ... one is mine and the other one is Bethany's.  We spent yesterday afternoon stamping and had a wonderful time together.  I will post our other cards on a later post.  Today's cards are for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge and Freshly Made Sketches.  These are the colors to get the creative juices flowing ... 

This is what I came up with ... a very simple card for my college box ...

Stamps:  Need for Speed, Vintage Labels

Paper:  Marina Mist, White, Red (non SU)

Ink:  Memento Black, Marina Mist, Summer Starfruit

Accessories:  blender pen, sponge dauber, CB stars embossing folder, SU Strips embossing folder, Nestabilities label six die, Bitty Banner Framelits, pop dots

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Here is Bethany's card for the two challenges ...

Stamps:  butterfly (unknown), So Happy For You

Paper:  Marina Mist, Real Red, Summer Starfruit, White

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red

Accessories:  Summer Starfruit marker, Prismacolor markers, Nestabilities oval scallop dies, CB sticks embossing folder, Martha Stewart border punch, ribbon (non SU)

All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I think Bethany's card came out absolutely adorable!  I love the little bow she added to her butterfly.  The funny thing about her card is that she got it all put together and then realized the base (Marina Mist) was upside down so the card opens up backwards.  Of course, she says it is my fault because I used it to see if I wanted the same color as my base and put it back wrong.  Gotta love stamping with someone!  :)  We both had a good laugh!

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,
