Wishing you brighter days

Hey everybody! Happy Weekend – I hope you have something fun planned and your weather is most excellent! Our new challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog launched this morning and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #74 – Anything Goes + optional Paper Piecing! As you know, our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ and the technique twist is always optional and not required to play. Come join in and just do what makes your heart happy! I reached for the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set once again for this technique because it spoke to me. A beautiful CAS design to let someone know they are thought of.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base and a long narrow strip from CutCardStock Basis 110# Natural cardstock. I applied MAMBI skinny blue washi tape to the strip and adhered it to the left side of the card base. I stamped an image and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Beautiful You stamp set. I then stamped the umbrella on a yellow print and the lady on a blue print in the Spellbinders Flea Market Finds Petite Patterns 6×9 papers which I fussy cut and adhered to the main image on the card base. I used a couple Tombow dual ended markers to color her hair and shoes, and added several yellow gemstones which completed the card front.

I kept the inside clean and simple also, adhering a narrow strip with MAMBI skinny blue washi tape across the top and stamping a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up And Many More stamp set.

Thinking of you

Howdy peeps! Can you believe it’s the first day of September already?! Seems like the new year just started, lol! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #73 – Anything Goes + optional Smooshing! Remember that all of our challenges are ‘anything goes’ and the technique twist is optional and not required to play! Do what inspires you! I have to admit that there’s nothing more relaxing to me than spritzing a little water over ink and then smooshing paper into it! No matter what color(s) you use or how much (or how little) ink you use, the look is different every single time – and I love that! This card features the older Gina K Designs Simply the Best stamp set, Ranger fossilized amber distress oxide ink for smooshing, and Catherine Pooler Twilight, Black Jack and Midnight inks for stamping. I totally love how it turned out!

A standard A2 size side-folding card base was cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I also cut two layering panels from CutCardStock Yellow Jacket Textured 4×6 cardstock and one from Lessebo Granite Gray cardstock. Finally, I cut a layering panel from Tim Holtz distress watercolor cardstock and created the smooshed background using a Tim Holtz distress sprayer and Ranger fossilized amber distress oxide ink. I trimmed the panel and stamped a leaf image (from the GKD Simply the Best stamp set) multiple times in Catherine Pooler Twilight, Black Jack and Midnight inks. I stamped the sentiment (from the same GKD stamp set) on a scrap piece of Yellow Jacket cardstock, trimmed it and added it to the panel on a double-sided foam strip. The finishing touch was adding several Stampin’ Up Classic Matte Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with leftover strips of Yellow Jacket and Granite Gray cardstock used on the front. I stamped a leaf from the same GKD stamp set in Twilight ink and the sentiment in Midnight ink, and layered the panel on Granite Gray cardstock.

Hey everybody! Happy July 1st! It’s a busy morning on my blog with all my challenge blogs going live with new challenges this morning! Our new challenge launched this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #72 – Anything Goes + optional Veggie Stamping! Yep, you read that right… veggie stamping! Have you ever done it?! It’s totally fun and you can stamp with lettuce, celery, beets, carrots, green beans and dried beans to name a few – whatever vegetables you can think of! I used sliced beets to stamp my background on this fun birthday card. I thought of it as kind of a ‘two-fer’ because the beets rendered stamping and pink coloring!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from Tim Holtz distress watercolor cardstock. I opened a can of sliced beets and used a large one and a small one (with rubber gloves, of course, lol) and stamped a background on the watercolor panel. Once the panel was dry, I photocopied it and fussy cut the beet images to create a mask.

With the mask in place, I stamped large splotches from the Stampin’ Up Gorgeous Grunge stamp set in Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey ink randomly over the beet images and added some Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle overlay marker to the splotches. I used another small speckle stamp from the same Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and stamped those randomly over the beet images in Concord & 9th Marmalade ink.

I stamped a sentiment from the My Favorite Things Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 3 stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the bottom center portion of the panel. Using the smallest die in the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large set, I die cut three circles into the panel, trimmed the panel, and adhered it to the card base. I added the die cut circles back into their negative spaces popped up on small pieces of double-sided foam strip for a little interest. The finishing touch was adding several iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip cut from the front panel. I stamped a sentiment from the same MFT stamp set in black ink. Using the same small Spellbinders die, I cut a circle into another leftover strip cut from the front panel and added it to the inside panel to tie in the little circles on the front.

hello friend

Hey everybody! Happy Hump Day – I hope you’re having a great week! Our new challenge is live over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog this morning and I’m delighted to share my clean and simple DT inspiration project for MIUCB #71 – Anything Goes + optional Inlaid Die Cut! Remember that all of our challenges are ‘anything goes’ and the technique twist is only suggested to inspire our participants and not required to play. Should you choose to add the inlaid die cut to your project, it can be raised or flat. I used the Spellbinders Diamond & Arch Motif stamps and dies for my card with a raised inlaid die cut. I love how this turned out – such a pretty color combo!

I cut the card base and layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. Using the Spellbinders Diamond & Arch Motif stamps, I stamped the focal image on the layering panel in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut it with the coordinating Spellbinders Diamond & Arch Motif die, and adhered the panel to the card base. I cut two additional plain die cuts from Solar White cardstock and adhered them beneath the stamped one. I colored it with alcohol markers and adhered it into the negative space on the layering panel. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and cut it with the coordinating die (both from the same stamp and die set). The finishing touch was adding three iridescent gemstones colored with an alcohol marker.

I cut the inside panel from Solar White and embellished it with strips of Solar White cardstock colored with the alcohol markers used on the front. I stamped the inside sentiment in black ink and cut it with the coordinating die (also from the same stamp and die set).

Home Sweet Home mini album

Hey everybody! I hope you’ve got some fun planned this weekend… and maybe your weather is warming up just a slight bit and looking toward Spring?! It’s a busy morning here with seven of my eight challenge blogs launching new challenges. This project is for Mix It Up Challenge Blog where MIUCB #70 – Anything Goes + optional Fancy Fold is live and we’d love to see your project with two or more folds – or straight anything goes if that’s your jam! But c’mon and admit it, you know you love fun folds, so come play with us either way! I had a large time creating this house-themed mini album (tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers HERE) using the Keep It Simple Namaste Home Collection.

This Collection is on clearance over at Keep It Simple Paper Crafts and has been deeply discounted, so if you’re so inclined to go shopping, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 for 10% off your entire order! The coolest thing about our specialized discount codes is that there is no minimum purchase requirement or usage limit, and the code combines with product, order, and shipping discounts!

The mini album base and roof were cut from CutCardStock Twine 12×12 cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Keep It Simple Namaste Home Collection. I scalloped the edges of the roof with the Stampin’ Up Scalloped Edge Punch, and then used Me & My Big Ideas washi tape, Keep It Simple Clementine pearls, and stickers from the Namaste Home sticker sheet to embellish the roof and all the sections. I used a couple disc magnets for the closure, and added a bow fashioned from some Ellen Hutson teal ribbon.

And here it is folded flat for mailing!

Beary Merry Christmas

Hey everybody! Wishing you a truly Magical Monday! I always love January 1st because it represents everything new – new year, new beginnings, new challenges! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for MLCCB #54 – Anything Christmas Goes! We’d love to see your first Christmas project of the year! I used a couple older Stampin’ Up sets for this adorable clean and simple card along with some fun buttons!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base and layering panel from CutCardStock Twine cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I added strips of Eyelet Outlet red dotted and skinny gold washi tape across the bottom of the layering panel and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. The final touch was adding a sweet Christmas bear button from the Buttons Galore & More Santa’s Grab Bag along with three tiny buttons from their Christmas Tiny Buttons pack.

I cut the inside panel from CutCardStock Twine cardstock, embellished it with strips of Eyelet Outlet red dotted and skinny gold washi tape, and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Peaceful Pines stamp set in Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

Hey everybody! I know, I know, it’s super busy this morning on my blog! Happy New Year! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m super excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #69 – Anything Goes + optional Mixed Media! If you decide to play the twist, we’d love to see your mixed media project using more than one medium.

To create the focal panel, I did some acrylic block stamping using Ranger speckled egg distress ink spritzed with water on a 2″ acrylic block. I stamped a floral image from the My Favorite Things Pretty Poinsettias stamp set in Catherine Pooler Skylight ink and colored the berries with a red Bic Mark-It ultra fine point marker. I added random dots of Nuvo Ivory Seashell Crystal Drops and added Stampin’ Up Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. Both panels on the front were layered on CutCardStock Lessebo Cherry Red cardstock. The sentiment was die cut from the Cherry Red cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Add-On Dies.

I embellished the inside panel with a leftover strip of the Cherry Red cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy stamp set.

Hey everybody! I hope you’re having great weather and you have something fun planned this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #67 – Anything Goes + optional Make Your Own Background! We’d love to see either you Anything Goes project or one playing the twist of making your own background! As always, the twist is not required to play! I created an inked background for this super cute shaker card featuring a message in a bottle!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from 80# Solar White. I inked the layering panel with Catherine Pooler Tranquil, Stone Blue and Cove Blue inks, trimmed it, and cut a frame using a My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX die. Using the Stampin’ Up Whale Done stamp set, I stamped an underwater scene in Catherine Pooler Green Tea, Eucalyptus and Pink Champagne inks on the rectangle cut from the frame. I stamped the sentiment from the Neat & Tangled Out of the Box stamps in the bottom right corner of the frame in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the bottle and message from the Spellbinders Message in a Bottle stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, inked the bottle, and cut both of the images with the coordinating Spellbinders Message in a Bottle dies. I assembled the shaker, using Kat Scrappiness 3mm and 4mm Sparkling Clear Droplets for the shaker mix.

I embellished a piece of 80# Solar White cardstock with a leftover piece of inked cardstock and cut a panel for the inside using the My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX die. I stamped another sentiment from the Neat & Tangled Out of the Box stamps and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock.

Happy Birthday you fabulous creature!

Hi friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re enjoying some decent (not too awfully hot) weather where you are this weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #66 – Anything Goes + optional Aperture! Just a reminder that the technique twist is optional and not required to play, so let’s see either an ‘anything goes’ project or one with an aperture – your choice! I’ve been playing with some Art Impressions stamps and dies, and have a super fun birthday card to share with a square front flap aperture!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis White along with a front layering panel from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad and an inside left layering panel from CutCardStock Pop Tone Sno Cone cardstock. Using the outline die in the Art Impressions Shadowbox Window dies, I cut a square aperture into the front flap through the card base and both layering panels. I stamped a sentiment from the twist set in Catherine Pooler Midnight ink above the aperture and added several YNS teal glitter Gumdrops.

Using the window frame die in the same die set, I cut a front window frame from CutCardStock Basis Magenta and an inside window frame from CutCardStock Pop Tone Blue Raspberry cardstock. I stamped the llama front and back from the Art Impressions Llama Twist Set stamps in the Midnight ink, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it with the coordinating die (fussy cutting the top and bottom along the image lines since I wasn’t using it as a twister). I adhered the back of the llama as well as the front of it’s head (cut off just below the neck) to the card front so the head is visible through the window when the card is opened.

I cut the right inside panel from a coordinating print in The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad and added Basis White and Basis Magenta strips as well as a sentiment strip from an additional print in The Paper Studio paper pad. Using the Stampin’ Up Balloon Bouquet punch, I punched one balloon from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Azalea cardstock and two balloons from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock. I adhered Singer white quilting thread behind the balloons and attached them with foam squares.

5/15/23 Top 3 at Halloween Crafts All Year ‘Round!

Hey everybody! Well, are you enjoying any Spring weather where you are? It’s absolutely gorgeous here in southwestern Colorado! A new challenge has launched this morning over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #65 – Anything Goes + optional Embossing! If you decide to play the technique twist, you can use either heat or dry embossing. I’ve had a couple Stamp Anniething Halloween stamp sets in my stash for a while and wanted to share a super cute card with a heat embossed image that I made with Diana! Is she not the cutest ever?!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from the Printable Cuttable Creatables Halloween Treats Digital Paper Pack which I adhered together. I adhered strips of CutCardStock Astrobrights Solar Yellow and 80# Solar White cardstock at the seam with a strip of Eyelet Outlet Halloween washi tape. I added three Eyelet Outlet 8mm black Cut Jewels just under the band.

I stamped Diana from the Best Witches stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Solar White cardstock, stamped the image a second time in Versamark (over top the black ink) and heat embossed it with Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder. I colored her with alcohol markers and cut her with the coordinating die. I adhered an Impression Obsession Cats die cut from Pop Tone Black Licorice cardstock on her hat and popped her up on EK Tools 3-D Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Halloween patterned paper used on the front and a narrow strip of CutCardStock Curious Metallic Night cardstock. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in Tuxedo Black ink.
