Stampin' Up! with Ann Cardile & Debbie Segler

Monday morning F U N! My gal pal Deb Segler picked me up on Monday morning and we dashed over to Ann Cardile's house for a play date. At Ann's we created the little sussie cone box which has Happy Easter stamped on it. We made the birthday cake card as well as the yellow cross card. Then when we got back here Deb had brought some supplies for me to play with which is the triple pocket card and the pink and black Always card.
Monday was a very busy day for me. It started at 8:30 a.m. and I didn't get home from another class Monday night until about 10:30 p.m. No danged wonder I slept till 10 this morning! :O)

Have any questions on how any of these card were made, just ask it in your comments.

Brayer Challenge!!!! - JFF

Hello!
Today I am going to offer you a challenge. Do you own a brayer? Don't know what to use it for? Well, I will show  you in this little "talk you though it" tutorial.
Below is my card.
Here's the deets:
Stampin' Up!
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamps: Fresh Cuts, Whimiscal Words
Inks: Basic Black, Dusty Durango, Bermuda Bay
Stampin' Up Accessories: Build a Bird 2 Step Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Two - Way Glue, Dimensional Adhesives, finger daubers
Tutorial:
Cut one piece of Whisper White cardstock 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" square.
Cut one piece of Basic Black cardstock 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" square.
Cut one piece of Whister White 5" x 11" and fold in half. Finished card will be 5" x 5".

1.In the Center of the 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" piece of Whisper White you will stamp the Fresh Cuts stamp in Basic Black and heat emboss with cleat embossing powder.
2. With a fresh finger dauber you will rub on the Bermuda Bay ink pad and then rub off on your embossed cardstock. Add as little or as much as you like. I went a little heavier around the edges and lighter in the center. Then heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
3. Open your Dusty Durango ink pad and ink up your brayer.
Brayer Dusty Durange from the upper right hand corner to the lower left hand corner on the diagonal. I slightly turned my cardstock so the corners were pointing north and south. TIP* once you start across the paper don't stop until your brayer runs out of ink.
4. Turn your cardstock to the right 2 times so the the opposite ends are pointing north and south. Ink up your brayer and apply to the cardstock. Continue until all ink is gone from your brayer. Look at your piece. Are you happy with the coverage? If not, repeat steps #3 & #4.
5. Take your Build a Bird punch and punch one bird and one wing.
Daube on some Bermuda Bay and Dusty Durango. Daube Dusty Durango to the wing. Adhere the wing with a dimensional adhesive. Set aside.
6. With the Build a Bird punch, punch 20 of the branches in Whisper White. With 2 way adhesive attach the branches to the cardstock to frame the image. Add your little bird with another dimensional adhesive.
7. Stamp the "Thoughts" sentiment with Basic Black on Whisper White cardstock. Daube Bermuda Bay. Then punch the sentiment out with the Decorative Label Punch, punching as close to the right side of the words as possible. This way you will have the excess to score and fold under. Daube Dusty Durango around the edges. Set is aside.
8. Attach your brayered image to the Basic Black square.
9. Attach the little bird to the brayered image.
10. Attach the sentiment with dimensional adhesives.
11. Attach the entire piece to your card base.
You're Done!!!

Now here's the challenge: Pull your brayer out of the drawer or packaging and dust it off and get to brayering. If you create a project using your brayer link it up to me and come back and add a DIRECT link in your comment.
I'll go visit and check out your project (because I am anxious to see what you create).
On Friday I will pick from the entries and I will give away a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW Stampin' Up! set.
Thanks so much for your interest and your comments. They help me trendously to keep on creating. I sure hope you liked my "talk you through it" tutorial. I am still not too good with the video thing yet. Besides, I mostly create by the seat of my pants so setting up the camera in advance doesn't always work out for me.

If you have any questions about the products used in this card creation please feel free to post them in your comments
.
Have a wonderful and I hope you get to brayering!

Pretty in Pink - I think!! CPS108 & PCPCuttlebug-ers #106

Pretty in Pink - You think???
This card was created using some discontinued dsp from Stampin' Up! Why oh why did they discontinue this??? It's gorgeous paper! The challenge at CardPatternsSketch #108 was to use a really beautiful sketch. I love the simply of this sketch and I think it works really well with a semi monochromatic color palette. The stamps are from set #120453 and it's called Just Believe.

The PCPCuttlebug-ers Challenge #106 this week is to use pink and to use your bug to create a card or other art project.

RRRUFF day? - weeM48

I learned how to make this little pup in a Stampin' Up! Punch Art Class today. This was sooo totally fun! I didn't have one of the larger heart punches so my little pup's snout is a little bit small but I still like the way it turned out. My card was created for the weeMemories Challenge #48 - Cute & Cuddly.
Here are 3 more little critters created using Stampin' Up! Punches.



If you are in my area and are interested in creating cute little images like these for decorating your cards or even your scrapbook pages, please feel free to e-mail with a Punch Art Class request.

Thanks & Happy Birthday - JFF w/ Deb

This card is just too tweet! It's all Stampin' Up! except for the rhinestones and the tulle. Both the flower and the bird were created using Sizzlits Dies Birds & Blooms set #113485. I cut them on white cardstock. After I cut them I added some inks with daubers to give them some color and dimension.
The Not Quite Navy cs was punched using the Eyelet Border Punch #119853. Then I poked a little piece of tulle through one hole on either end. I used Daffodil Delight cs for my card base. Then I matted So Saffron that had been embossed with the Elegant Lines embossing folder #119277. I punched the 1 3/4" x 7/8" Large Oval #119855 for the sentiment from Very Vanilla cs then I stamped the sentiment in Not Quite Navy.   Sentiment is from Perfect Punches Stamp Set #117022 (W), 120516 (C).


This is another JUST FOR FUN card. The little envelope is created using the Scallop Envelope Die #113462. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Bring on the Cake stamp set #121899 (W), 121958 (C).
Thanks for looking. Deb and I had another F-U-N day playing.

Easter Blossoms - JFF

Don't know why this has a blue hue. But anyway, this is the Easter Blossoms set (122057 Clear, 121905 Wood). The little girl is stamped in Versa Mark clear ink onto a glossy cardstock. Then she is heat embossed with WHITE embossing powder. Then I sponged Cameo Coral and Regal Rose all over her going lightly across the bottom and heavier across the mid to upper portion of the background. Then I stamped the flowering branch in this same set in Versa Mark and heat embossed with White embossing powder. I followed the same sponging effect over the branches. I stamped Happy Easter sentiment in Versa Mark on Crumb Cake cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I totally LOVE this card!!! Thanks to Deb Segler for showing me how to make it! Loves Ya Girl!

Remember to order this set before March 30 and if you order $50 or more you get a FREE SET!

Spring! - CPS107

CardPatterns Sketch#107. I just call my card spring because that's what I think of when I see it. This is an extra wide ecru colored lace I threaded a green and gold satin ribbon through and tied a bow at the top. The stamps are from Stampin' Up! Sweet Summer set. I stamped the flowers in Rose Romance and Old Olive. Then I colored in the flowers using my SU markers in Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Pixie Pink. I used the Pixie Pink first and the flowers seemed too bright pink. So I added some of the Daffodil Delight to them and it brought the color closer to the flowers in the dp. The base cardstock is Old Olive.

love - ICS106

All dsp is from Stampin' Up! Play Date collection as are the little stickers. The bird over the ribbon is one of Stampin' Up!'s punches, when you purchase this punch you can use it to punch the bird, it's wing and a branch. For my card I punched two birds and layered one on top of the other with dimentional adhesives. Then I punched the wing out of some of the dsp and layered it with another dimensional. I added a little copper pearl for the bird's eye. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black ink. This card was created using the sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches for challenge #106.

Easter Basket - Zack's Class

Zackary attends St. Joseph's Catholic School in Bryan, TX. I as his Nana and the crafty one in the family, always make treats for Zack and his classmates for the holiday parties. Halloween and Christmas were really big productions. Valentine's Day found me in hospital. His mom made Beignets for Mardi Gras. We skipped St. Patty's Day as he is out for Spring break and visiting me now. That brings us to Easter. I ordered these clear acrylic carrots in February. So after Zack got here I sent my hubs into the local superK(roger) to purchase Jelly Belly Beans in bulk. Maybe that was a mistake - note to self, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans cost $6.49 per lb. in bulk. Hubs being hubs, he bought what he was told to buy. $44 and some change later we had 3 bags of Jelly Belly Beans - 2 tangerine and 1 green apple. Well, as is with kids, those 3 bags of jelly beans and those acrylic carrots drove Zackary a little cookee. So Tuesday morning we got up early, drove Poppa to work and buzzed over to Mrs. Sue's house for a play date, with the favor supplies in tow. Sue had some tangerine and some green curling ribbon so we were ready to rock this project out. Zack was in charge of the filling of the carrots (2 scoops of tangerine and one scoop of green apple), fold the tabs in and close. Sue cut the ribbons, I tied the ribbons on and Sue made the ribbons curl! Don't they look cute in this little basket!

Springtime - PPC-CC52

sending Springtime smiles - This card was made using the Easter Blossoms set #122057. This set is available in the Occassions Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up! It's a lovely set and I have been drooling over it ever since the catty came out. I finally got my set today!!! So of course inking it up didn't take long.
I created this card using the color combo at Picture Perfect Creations - Color Combo #53 - Tangerine Tango, Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke. These colors really do play well together and I am loving how my card turned out. I used dsp from Play Date #117168. The white portion of the card was embossed with the Finial Press eb folder #115963. My sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White then I used the Designer Label Large Punch #119862 to punch it out. I also punched the same label punch in Always Artichoke and then I cut it in four places and used it as a matte for my sentiment.
