C&S Shimmering Snowflake Soiree / My Challenge #41/ Card Cafe Week #10

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Tuesday! Did you miss me yesterday? I missed you, but it was a crazy day and since I did an extra post on Saturday, I figured it would all even out. It's a ugly, rainy, gloomy sort of day here in the DMV, so I thought I'd share a pretty card with you today. I hope it's warm and dry wherever you might be.

I did this card a few weeks back and am just now getting to post it. It works out though because there's a challenge over at the Pink Paper Bakery's Card Cafe Challenge that it works for. Have you been over there yet? They have lots of great creative ideas. This is my first time playing along with them so I'm very excited about that. :) Their challenge was to use Masking or Reverse Masking on a card.





Here's today's card-

C&S Card featuring
Snowflake Soiree

Yes, you are seeing correctly. No, you don't need glasses. Well, ok, maybe you do need them I'm not an Optometrist, but you don't need them because you're not seeing correctly. :) This is a C&S, 1 Layer Card. *HappyDance* Hey April, Lookie, Lookie!

I cut out a snowflake using my new Bigz Snowflurry Die for another card and decided I should be able to come up with something to use the negative cut-out for. This is what I did with it and It's so pretty. The picture is simply not doing it justice. :'(

I used the negative image to do the Reverse Masking Technique. I started with a base of Early Espresso and laid the cut-out image on my c/s and then spritzed it with some home-made smooch spray. I used Frost White Shimmer Paint, alcohol, a spray bottle and my paint catcher and spritzed away. After I did the center snowflake, I just kept moving the mask around making sure to cover the rest of the card except the section I was spritzing. Here's what it looked like-

I masked the heck out of that card! :)

It took a little time, but it sure was worth it to get all those pretty shimmery snowflakes. They just seem to float on the E.E. c/s-

There is an extra layer on the inside however, but only so a message could be written. I used a piece of Very Vanilla c/s. My sentiment is from the Snowflake Soiree set and is stamped in E.E. Love the font! It's so pretty.

There's a snowflake on the inside of the card too. You know how I like the inside's to be as pretty as the outside, or at least close. :) This snowflake is from the same die. The same masking technique was used and it's so amazing to me how just changing the color of the c/s changes the whole look.

That's all I have for you today. Just a quick little post on my lunch break. Who needs to eat? I'd rather spend time with you. Did you bring chocolate with you by any chance? No? I still love you anyways. :) I hope you liked today's card and I hope the ladies over at Pink Paper bakery like it too. As always, I love hearing from you, so if you liked today's card or have questions about it, I hope you'll leave me a message below. I read all of your comments and they really do make my day! If you'd like to +1 or Pin today's card, I've put those buttons on my blog for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too! :)

Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my little corner of the world. You are very appreciated! I hope to see you back here real soon. Till next time-

Remember- Life is often more about the storms than the peace they seek to overwhelm. It's not about Waiting for the storms to pass, but Learning to Dance in the rain.

C&S Merry / Unscripted Sketches #175

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for an equally fabulous week. I got into my office to find out we had no power and it had apparently been down all weekend. Luckily I have an office with a window so I have some light coming in. Going to the bathroom is an adventure, it was like being blind and on top of that the bathroom reeks of sewage. UGH!!! Oh and our refrigerators are of course hot, meaning all 500 doses of Flu vaccine are now useless. Oh and I had to send out a chest pain via 911 that I couldn't even do an EKG on. All of this within the first 45 minutes of being open. I also thought maybe I could try walking (not even walking fast or running, just walking) and my arches are on fire, and the first available appointment with my Orthopedist is next Thursday. AUGH! It's a Monday, what else can you say.

Well at least I have something to make me smile...today's card. I found all sorts of cute sketches last night and I actually got 3 cards made last night while I washed clothes and watched the game. :)

Here's today's card-

Holiday Card featuring
Snowflake Soiree and Be of Good Cheer DSP

Isn't it bright and cheery? Once I got the measurements done, it came together really quick. I started with a base of Gumball Green. To that I added a layer of Very Vanilla matted with a piece of Cherry Cobbler and a piece of Be of Good Cheer DSP matted with Cherry Cobbler. Here are the measurements for those of you that stress about that like I do. Standard base- 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/2. C. C. mat 3 1/2 x 4, V. V. 3 3/8 x 3 7/8, C.C. 2 x 3 5/8, DSP 1 7/8 x 3 1/2. Of course I used my SAMJ to get the sentiment stamped just right. Although the font is beautiful with this set, it's written at an odd angle so the SAMJ was a definite must for me!

*Tip*- Stamp your gretting before you measure and cut your mat. This will ensure you have enough space for everything. Ask me how I know!

*Tip*- Here's a way to save c/s and by extension money. (You know how I love to save money) Try this next time you mat another layer-

Why just let all that c/s under your layers go to waste. Take a punch and punch a shape/shapes you'll use often for layers. Then save those for use later. No one but you will know that paper's not under your layer. :)

Here's the sketch I used for today's card-

I don't think I've ever played along with Unscripted Sketches but I'm glad to be playing along with them this week.

Here's the inside of my card-

Inside of Holiday Card featuring
Greetings of the Season and Be of Good Cheer DSP

I kept it C&S too. Just a strip of DSP across the bottom and my sentiment. My sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso and is from Greetings of the Season. I guess I should get more Holiday sentiments but I just have so much other stuff on my wish-list. :)

That's all I have for you today. I hope you liked it and I hope the DT likes it too. I love hearing from you, so if you liked today's card or have comments or questions about it I hope you'll leave me a little blog love below. I read all of your comments and they really do make my day! If you'd like to +1 or Pin today's card, I've put those buttons on my blog for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too! :)

Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my little corner of the world. You are very appreciated! I hope you'll stop back by soon, or better yet, put me in your reader feed or sign up by e-mail and you'll never miss any of the fun. Till next time-

Remember- Life is often more about the storms than the peace they seek to overwhelm. It's not about Waiting for the storms to pass, but Learning to Dance in the rain.

A Confetti Card, A 3-D Project and A Challenge / NAC #8

Pin It
Hey y'all! Happy Friday! Woo-Hoo!!! I've got lots to do this weekend so I can hardly wait. I hope you have lots of fun planned too.

Do you Pin? I do. (You can check out my boards by searching for me ShanAngel or by clicking on the Follow Me button on my sidebar) I love wasting  spending valuable research time getting inspired or finding things that I love and would like to share with others. And just in case you're wondering before you click on over, Yes the boards are a little OCD just like me. : D HAHAHAHA! Any-who, I've been meaning to actually do something with the things that I pin and have been trying to do that a little more. In fact just last week I made cupcakes that I found that were Ah-Mazing (and low cal/points too!) and I'm finally taking inspiration from a card I saw and putting it to use. I'm pretty happy with how my card turned out. The original card was so unique I didn't even look it up when I made my card. I looked it up just prior to starting this post and it turns out I even used one of the same sentiments, just in a different way. Great Minds and all that. Swing on by my boards when you get a chance (but finish here first, kay) and see what you can find. If you Pin too, leave me a comment with your Pin name. I'd love to swing by and check out the Fabulous things I know you've got pinned too.

Here's today's card-

Confetti Card featuring
Friendly Phrases

How fun is this? Well, I think it's fun. :) I was really stumped trying to think up something to make with this week's challenge Over at Nacho Average Challenge. It's a color challenge and y'all know how much I absolutely adore those! NOT!!! I was actually afraid I wasn't going to be able to enter for the first time. :( Since I was limited to 3 colors this doesn't have quite the same impact as the card I took my inspiration from, but I think it's still easy to gather that it's confetti. It is easy to see that, right? Oh, please say yes!!!

In case you can't tell the colors-

I was hoping for a one layer C&S card with this, but no-go. I started with a base of Whisper White and using a pencil eraser made the "confetti" by inking up the eraser and "stamping" it onto my c/s. The colors, unfortunately, were visible on the other side of the c/s. So I cut my W.W. card into two pieces and layered them onto a Tempting Turquoise base and problem solved. My sentiment is from the set Friendly Phrases and I simply inked up the word WOW with my SU Marker instead of inking up the whole sentiment. I love that this set lends itself to this kind of separation, because it really increases the set's versatility.

Here's the inside-

Inside of Confetti Card featuring
Friendly Phrases.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's just so bright and happy.

Because I wasn't sure how "kosher" it would be to case someonelse's work for a challenge even though I changed it up I decided to add something else for the challenge. It's been a hot-minute since I had a 3-D item on here so I decided to add one as a bonus to this challenge. I've been thinking about adding this type project to my upcoming Christmas Class, so I just changed it up a little.

3-D Treat Holder featuring
Two-Tags Die, Boho Blossoms Punch and
Bitty Banners Framelets and Matching Stamp Set 

I love this idea. I know it's out there everywhere, but it's cute and quick and makes an impression on it's recipients and your class participants. I simply cut out two of the larger tags in T.T., creased them on the score line, added a little Tombow to the bottom to secure them and then decorated. See, Easy! I closed the treat holder with a small piece of Pumpkin Pie Ribbon tied in a simple bow. Multiple flowers were punched out from each of the colors plus W.W. and then sponged the edges and set about assembling them. The layers were all adhered with Tombow and the flowers were then secured with Mini Glue Dots. Once I had them all secured, they seemed to still be needing "just a little something extra" so I got out my White Gel Pen and added a little extra detail and I think that's just what they needed. I stamped the sentiment and then cut it with my Bitty Banners Framelet. Using my Bone Folder I curved it to give it some movement and then secured it as well with Mini Glue Dots. This will hold 3-4 Mini Reeces' Cups, Nuggets, Kisses (or similar sized item) or a snack sized candy.

So what do you think of my projects? I hope you liked them and I  hope the ladies over at NAC like them too. Like I said I went back this morning and looked for the original Pin and found it. Turns out the Pinner lives in my town. I'm sending her a message to let her know I CASE'd her and who knows maybe one day we'll get to meet. Always fun to meet other SU peeps. Don't you think? :) Here's the Original Pin and the link to her blog post-

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope it inspires you to try something new, a challenge or maybe just actually doing something with one of the things you Pinned. I love hearing from you so if you have comments or questions about today's card &/or project, please feel free to leave me a comment. I read all of my messages and they really do make my day! If you'd like to +1 or Pin either, I've put the buttons on my blog for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too! :)

Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my little corner of the world. You are very appreciated! I hope you have a great rest of the day and that you have a Fabulous weekend filled with lots of time for Family, Friends and of course Creativity! Till next time-

End of the Week Technique # 43- Framing with Scoring / A Celebration & A Give-Away

Pin It
*Update- Give-Away will be open until Midnight August 23, 2012.*

Hey y'all.Happy Thursday! Just one more day until the weekend. Woo-Hoo! Today is a special day. My little blog turns one today. :) Hard to believe it all started with this post. Oh, and this was my first posted card. You Rocked my World back then and you still do!  :)

It's been an Amazing year. My goal was to post 2-3 times/week and there have been times, even during school, where I posted up to 6 times/week. Today's post is my 235th. That's just so hard for me to imagine. I've virtually-met lots of new "blog-pals" from all over the world. Most in the stamping community, but some in other areas as well. I love seeing all of the cool places people find me from. We once had an exchange student from Russia with us for a year, he still says I'm  his American Mom (Hi Anton!) so I think it's kind of cool that my second biggest audience source (behind the U.S) is Russia. Spasibo Russia! They are followed closely by Canada (actually they often flip-flop) where I  have family that I haven't seen in many years, so I don't think they're the ones contributing to my numbers. :) Then my many friends in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and then Brazil rounds out my top 10. A big Thanks to all of you! Just seeing that you have visited makes me smile more often than you can imagine and when you take the time to leave a comment, it really does make my day.

If you have a blog, do you ever wonder if people actually read what you've written or do they just look at the pictures and then go on about their day? I wonder that all the time. I know I write more than a lot of people, but I always hope that it gives just a little glimpse of who I am in a way that my cards/projects might not. Sometimes I get a comment that the person just laughs whenever they read my blog. That makes me so happy. As a celebration of my 1 year blogging I am doing a little give away. Hopefully if you've read this far, you'll read on to see what it is. But for now, how about today's card?

Here it is-

Birthday Card featuring
Circle Circus and Perfectly-Penned Stamp Sets

Hey look April, a one-layer card. Hahahaha! Those are so hard for me to do and I really love how this one turned out.

Here's what you need for today's End of the Week Technique- Scoring Tool (I used my Simply Scored Tool), post-it type notes for the mask, and an stamped image (I used a sentiment)

Here's how you do it-

1- Start by stamping your image or  sentiment onto a post-it note for size. 

2- Then cut your post-it note with a paper-cutter so it will be straight. I cut two pieces of  post-it notes at one time with my they'd be the same size, leaving equal borders around my stamped sentiment. (I think it was 3/4' wide)

3- Next stamp your image/sentiment where you would like it to be "framed" on your card. I stamped mine in the center of my Whisper White card base.

4- Covered your stamped image with the post it notes to form an mask. 

5- Using your scoring tool, lightly score around the mask to give a faint impression of the outline. 

6- Flip your c/s over. You will be able to see where you lightly scored on the front. The simply  re-scored over these lines, from the back, and your score lines will be raised up on the front. *Tip* use the larger end of the stylus for your scoring otherwise you could score to hard and tear your c/s. 

7- Embellish as desired.

8- Smile when you see your finished card and smile even more when you think of the joy it will bring to it's recipient.

Before I scored my card I masked my sentiment and randomly (still so hard to do that) stamped images from my Circle Circus set  all over the front in lots of fun colors. I used Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry. I love how bright and cheery this is. It just makes me smile. I hope it's making you smile too! I wanted my sentiment and scoring to stand out a little more so I added a little Two-Way Glue Pen and let Tink have a little fun too.

Here's a close-up -

I think the masking turned out pretty good, Just the one Tangerine Tango area to the right side that's not "perfect". But considering it was only my second time to do masking....I'll not get too OCD about it. I hadn't even taken my "masking" techniques class when I tried this card. Yea Shan!

Here's the inside-

Inside of Happy Birthday Card featuring
Circle Circus and Perfectly Penned

I did a little more stamping than I usually do here, but I just couldn't help myself. Besides there's still the whole top half of the inside to right a message. Tink went wild here, but isn't it sparkly and pretty?

Now for the fun part. If you're still with me here, it's time for a little Celebration for us both. I wish I had "Real" Blog Candy to give you, like product but, sadly, I don't. Here's what I would like to do though.I'm going to give away 5 of your favorite cards just for stopping by and Celebrating with me today.

Here's all you need to do- Leave me a comment telling me which of my cards/projects is your favorite. Pretty easy. If you're one of the first 3 to leave me a comment telling me your favorite card/project, you get that card/project. How simple is that? Additionally, if you're not one of the first 3, I hope you'll still leave me a comment. If I get more than three (which hasn't happened yet except for challenge entries) I will send an extra card/project (your favorite) to one of those who were kind enough to leave me a comment.

I'm really trying hard to build up my business and to increase my page views and followers as well. If you leave me a comment saying that you are following me (even if you're not a new follower) and let me know how, RSS feed, e-mail, G+, Facebook, or Pinterest I will give an additional card to those that let me know they are following me. So that's a total of 5 of your favorite cards/projects just for stopping by and saying hi to me as I celebrate this special occasion. Don't forget to tell me which card/project is your favorite,even if you're just telling me that you're following me. I want to make sure you get the card/project you like best.

*Update* The follow me buttons for Google+ and Pinterest on on my sidebar. I don't have one yet for FaceBook. You can follow me on FB at Shans Design Studio or Shannon Angel. I know that sometimes my Follow Me buttons don't show up due to certain firewalls so My Google + pages are Shans Design Studio and Shannon Angel and Pinterest is Shannon Angel.

Since I know not everyone gets to check their e-mails and reader feeds on a daily basis, this give-away will be open until Midnight August 23, 2012.

I will send the cards/projects anywhere in the world that you manage to find me from and not just the Continental U.S. :) Cards will come in a protective clear envelope and will have an envelope with it so you can send it whenever you want.

That's all I have for you today. I hope you liked today's card and I hope it inspires you to have fun and try something new today whether it's today's technique or something else. I love hearing from you so I really do hope if you liked today's card or have a question that you'll take a moment and leave me a comment. I read all of them and they really do make my day. Friends and Followers are always welcome too! :)

Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy day to stop by my little corner of the world and to celebrate my special day with me. You are very appreciated! Till next time-

Remember- Life is often more about the storms than the peace they seek to overwhelm. It's not about Waiting for the storms to pass, but Learning to Dance in the rain.

A Clean & Simple Easy Events Mistletoe Card

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Tuesday! I hope you're having a great week so far. Not feeling too good today so just a quick post.

Most of you know that Clean & Simple, (C&S) or Even Quick & Easy cards are not ones that seem to come to me very easily...but I am trying. In keeping with my goal of a C&S card each week, here is this week's offering-

C&S Christmas Card featuring
Easy Events Stamp Set

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Whenever I see this stamp it always seems like it should be hanging instead of reaching across the stamp like it does. So, I fixed it! Lol! I colored the stamp with my  Stampin Write Markers in Soft Suede, Garden Green and Real Red, omitting the greeting and stamped it on a piece of Whisper White c/s. I then used my Blender Pens and Garden Green Classic Ink Pad to color in the leaves. I added a little Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details and set it aside to dry. 

*Tip*- When using Dazzling Details, if at all possible do this portion of your project at the beginning because it will require drying time.

I used a base of Riding Hood Red simply because that was the only color red ribbon I had at the time. Even though it's not as vibrant as the Garden Green it still coordinates wonderfully. That's one of the things I love about SU products. They all coordinate so beautifully together. I topped this with a piece of Whisper White c/s that I ran through my Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, which I adhered with Tombow. 

Once my Dazzling Details was dry I attached a small Riding Hood Red Ribbon to the top of my branch with a Mini-Glue Dot. This panel was mounted with Tombow to my Garden Green layer and this panel was then adhered with Dimensionals. Here's a closer look-

 Didn't it turn out pretty? How simple to make this and hope for a sweet kiss from your special someone? Guess everyone knows where my mind is. HAHAHAHA

Here's the inside-

Inside of Christmas Card featuring
Easy Events

I stamped the image a second time without re-inking it, to give a lighter image to the inside of my card. Doing that makes for a nice effect and it means I don't have to re-color the whole image. Yeah, I'm lazy like that. Why do it twice when once will suffice. Hey lookie there...I'm a poet and didn't know it! HAHAHA, ok, so I'm probably the only one laughing right now, but then I'm silly like that. The sentiment is from the same stamp as the mistletoe image. I stamped it in Garden Green. Oh, and as you can probably tell, I let Tink have just a little fun to brighten up the inside of my card.

Just because I need something else to smile about and wanted you to be able to smile some more too, (Yeah, I'ma Great Friend like that) here's a picture of my little studio assistant/fur-baby, Bitty Kitty, helping out in the Stampin Studio-

Bitty Kitty Studio Assistant Extraordinaire

Isn't it sweet how she's holding down my light box so nothing happens to it? Yeah, she's a great helper when she's not head-butting me, and chattering at me to remind me that it's dinner time... an hour in advance just so I don't forget!

That's all I have for you today. I hope you liked my C&S Christmas Card and that it inspires you to make some C&S of your own. If you liked today's card or have any questions, I'd love it if you dropped me a line. I read all of my comments and they really do make my day. If you'd like to +1 or Pin today's card I've put the buttons here on my blog for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. You are very appreciated! I hope you'll come back soon to see what I've got in store for you. Till next time-

A C&S Pennant Parade Christmas

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Friday! I hope you've had an Amazing week and are looking forward to an even better weekend. :)

I'm going to apologize right off the bat for the cruddy pictures to follow. My battery was dying so the normal amount of yuck associated with taking pictures of white cards with my crappy B.B. is even worse that normal. I will try and take some better pics when I get home and change them out. :(

In trying to keep with my goal of a Clean and Simple Card each week, I have a new card for you today. This one was really more of a Quick and Easy instead of C&S, but that's because I was in one of those over-achieving/perfectionist modes when I made it. Can you believe it!?! Me in an overachieving/perfectionist mode...what's the world coming to? At any rate this can be a very simple card and I will be including the simpler version of it in an upcoming Christmas Card class.

Here's today's card-

C&S Card featuring
Pennant Parade Stamp Set

Have I mentioned how much I dislike my B.B.? I can't wait for the new I-Phone to come out!!! Any-whoo, I used the Pennant Parade Stamp Set and Pennant Builder Punch for this card. Oh, and of course my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. Duh!!! :) I colored in the "pots" with Cajun Craze and the tree trunk with Soft Suede, and then used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line them up. The thing that took me so long was stamping the "trees" onto the card as well. I'm not sure why I felt the need to stamp them on under the punched trees, but I did and it cost me a card base and plenty of time. *SMH* For the class I will omit this step for sure! I then stamped my trees using L-R, Garden Green, Wild Wasabi, and Gumball Green. These were then punched out with my Pennant Builder Punch and adhered with dimensionals. I sponged the edges of the Wild Wasabi tree in W.W, otherwise it wouldn't have really had a firm outline. I bet you're wondering what about all that glitter and shine? Well, I never said I was the Brightest Bulb in the Pack. :) I decided on that after adhering the tress to the c/s. *Headdesk* I think it still turned out cute though.  The sentiment at the bottom is from the same set and is stamped in Gumball Green.

Here's the inside-

Once again the sentiment is from the same set. This time the tree is simply stamped on the c/s with the help of my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I just low how versatile this stamp set is. Love getting multiple creative options from one set and more bang-for-my-buck.

Here's a close up of my sweet little tree-

No Charlie Brown Christmas Tree here. I used Real Red, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo and Elegant Eggplant for the lights. A little love from Tink and my tree is all shimmery and fun.

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you liked today's card and are inspired to make your own C&S card. If you liked today's card, or have any questions, and have a minute to drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you. I read all of my comments and try to respond as well. If you'd like to +1 or Pin this, I've put the buttons on my blog for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too! :)

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to stop by my little corner of the world. You are appreciated. I hope you have a fabulous weekend filled with plenty of time for Family, Friends and of course, creativity. Can't wait to see you back here real soon. Till next time-

A Clean & Simple Christmas Card - N.A.C. #3

Pin It
Hey y'all. Just a quick post today, wanted to get this card done and posted before the deadline. Sorry about not posting the MDS project for you yesterday. It was nonstop from 9am until almost 9pm. Will post it in the next few days.

Here's today's card-

Christmas card featuring
Keepsake Ornaments and Ornament Framelets and Greetings of the Season 

I went very Clean & Simple, C&S, with this card. As many of you know, C&S is definitely not my style but I do try and challenge myself to at least one a week. I started with a base of Always Artichoke and layered Bravo Burgundy and Naturals White on top of it. Believe it or not this was the first time I had used Always Artichoke or Bravo Burgundy, cardstocks, markers, or pads. I really like the combination though. I really need to get me a Color Coach, but somehow it keeps getting missed or passed over for something else. I just placed an order Friday night and forgot again. Wanna know how I came up with this combo? I went looking through an old SU Catalog and saw another card that used this combo. This is why I never through out my old catalogs. What great resources they are for not only layouts but color choices too!

Here's the challenge sketch-

I veered from the sketch just a little. Instead of the ribbon across the bottom I used it to "hang" my ornament. Isn't that ornament pretty? It's from the new Holiday Mini that comes out in just 10 days. It also has a set of framelets that goes with it. No more cutting out those ornaments by hand. So much easier this way. Can you believe that's Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine? I really do love how our products coordinate with each other. if you look at the top where it's layered over the B.B. piece you can't tell that it's not the same color. :)

Here's a close-up of the ornament-

I used Dazzling Details all over the white portions. I think this is the only part of the card I'm not really excited about. The B.B. bled a little where the Dazzling Details touched it. Next time I try this I think I will just do my old standby of Two-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds.  I still think it's pretty though.

*Tip* make sure you have plenty of time for your Dazzling Details to dry, because it will take some time.

You know I don't like to leave you without showing the inside of the card too, and you know I like for the inside to be as pretty as the outside or at least close, so here you go-

This features another ornament from the same set and a sentiment from another new set, soon to be available, called Greetings of the Season. I'm so excited the Dazzling Diamonds showed up so sparkly in the picture.

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope it inspires you to play along with a challenge and/or to make a new C&S creation. I know you'll do a great job!

An Unlikely Inspiration & a C&S Card

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Friday!!! :) How's your day going? Mine started off Amazing before I even left home, then I got to work and found out I had made the Stamping Showcase over at Stamping 411. Wow! Great way to end the week. Now if I can just get those 13 swaps made tonight, then life will be really fab! Lol :)

Question for you... Where do you find your inspiration? Some people like my stamping buddy Michelle Suit has said she'll see something when she's out and be inspired to go home and try and re-create it. My upline team-leader Robin Merriman sometimes takes cards from magazines and re-creates them with all SU product (Hey Robin, btw's...we all miss seeing these every week), some others say "it just came to me" (boy, I wish I was one of those people!). I try to stay open minded and see what presents its-self, but I'm afraid it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. I do however think it's funny, that I now see colors and think of them in comparison to SU colors. That's happened with today's card. I initially thought I'd find something to do with the color combination and then my new favorite stamp set came out and "BAM!", (why yes, I did just do an Emeril) I knew just what I needed to do.

Here's today's card-

C&S Betsy's Blossom Card

I know, I know....Another Betsy's Blossom card. But this set is just so stinking easy and pretty and fun. Plus when you see the inspiration, you'll know why I had to use it! Here's a first, two actually- This is the first time I've done a card with Melon Mambo. I don't mean a card-base, I mean the first time I've cut the paper at all. It's also the first time the stamp pad had ever been used. If you look closely you'll see I did a little tone-on-tone stamping with Melon Mambo ink on the c/s. Why, have I resisted this color? So pretty! I also used Rich RazzleBerry, Regal Rose and Rose Red for my large blossoms and Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette for the smaller flowers.WOW! Is this a Pink card or what!?! I inked up part of the sentiment from Friendly Phrase is Melon Mambo with my Stampin Write Marker and stamped it on a scrap of Whisper White c/s. I punched it out with my oval punch, sponged the edges and then mounted it on a piece of Melon Mambo c/s, punched with my Scalloped Oval Punch. This was elevated with Dimensionals.

Are you ready for the inspiration piece? Wait for it....Wait for it.... You're not going to believe it...

That's right! It's my over-the-door ironing board cover. Can you believe it. Tell me those don't look like Betsy's Big Blossom and I'll tell you  that you need an eye exam! And just look at the colors...How could I not make today's card? LOL! It took me so long to make it because, I hate ironing so I don't see the inspiration very often. HAHAHA! I'm kind of a wash and wear kind of girl.

Here's a closeup of the flower-

Ok, so it's probably more of a "Quick and Easy" kind of card than a C&S, but tomatoes, tomatoes. Not really a way to make that saying look like you want it to sound without spelling one of the wrong. *SMH* So I used my Large Scallop Circle Punch to punch a piece of Melon Mambo out and then cut each one of the scallops so it would  flare a little more. I then inked up my stamp with Pretty in Pink and "tap-danced" my Melon Mambo marker all over it and stamped on a scrap of Whisper White c/s. Isn't that a pretty effect? I did this twice. I then punched one out with my Large Scallop Circle Punch, and one with my smaller Scallop Circle Punch. I curled the edges of all 3 layer with my bone-folder for depth. All three flowers were adhered to each other with Tombow. I decided it needed just a little something extra so I added a Rich RazzleBerry button to the center with a Mini-Glue Dot. It's not the same color as the flower, but I thought it looked pretty anyways. I got 2 whole containers of these Bright Buttons for FREE, during Sale-A-Bration.

Here's the inside-

I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the front and then added my two flowers. Do you ever split your sentiments like that? I do it a lot. I think it's an easy way to get a little more bang for your buck. I inked up just the center portion of the medium flower with my Stampin Write Marker and stamped it in the center of the big blossom for a different look.

So what do you think? I love it! (Even though it's so pink) I think it's bright and cheery and I think it will bring a smile to someone's face one of these days. It doesn't get much better than that. I hope you like it and I hope it inspires you to take something ordinary as your inspiration and turn it in to something that makes you, and hopefully others, smile.

Betsy's Blossoms -Clean and Simple

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Thursday! I hope you're having an Amazing day and week. Just one more day to go till the week-end. *happy dance*

Today's card is one I designed for my recent New-Year's Open House. I got to introduce 3 old friends and 1 new one to the joys of stamping. Let me tell you, these girls stamped like they were old pros and they all had so much fun doing it! None of them thought they would be able to recreate this card and were all delighted by the beautiful cards they made.

My friend April often laughs at me and says I can't make a one-layer card. I tried to for my Open House, knowing there would be new stampers, and still couldn't manage it. I know later today April will be laughing. :D
Even though it's not one-layer, this is still a super simple card to make and would be especially good for beginners or a 2-4-5 type class.

Here's today's card-

Clean & Simple Card with Betsy's Blossoms,  Petite Pairs and New In-Colors

I am in L.O.V.E, LOVE with this set. It's so fab, lately I've had to make myself not pick it up and choose another set to play with. Know what else I love? The New In-Colors and the New Pads! LOVE Them! This card came together so quick, I was done before I knew it. :) I used Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit to stamp my images. For the tag I inked up & stamped my sentiment from Petite Pairs, added a few flowers and punched it out with my Decorative Label Punch. A little sponging around the edges and some dimensionals and the front was done. See, Easy-Peasy!

Here's the inside-

I stamped my flower in Raspberry Ripple, fussy cut it and then layered it over my stamped leaf image with my favorite adhesive, Tombow. As an after-thought I decided to let Tink have a little fun and added some Dazzling Diamonds to the center.

I didn't get pictures of everyone's cards, but here's one from my Open House-

This was my Friend Julia's card. I think she did a great job for her first time to ever stamp. Don't you think so too? I love how she made it her own by changing up the colors. Way to go Jules!

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you liked today's card and that it inspires you to create something Clean and Simple today. If you like today's card and want to +1 or Pin it, I've put the buttons on my sidebar for your convenience. I always love hearing from you, so feel free to leave me a comment. They always make my day! Friends and Followers are always welcome too. :)

I hope you'll stop back by tomorrow for this week's End of the Week Technique.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great rest of your day!

A Sneak Peek for Tomorrow / SFF #052512 / My Challenge #23

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Thursday. Question-Why do 4 day weeks seem to fly by when 5 day weeks drag? Doesn't make sense.

Well, today is the last day of our current catalog and the new one goes live tomorrow at noon. Are you excited? Having seen the catalog, I can tell you I'm sooo stoked! I've already got a huge wishlist. There are a few things I'm sorry to see go, but the new catalog is so Amazing & I can hardly wait for you to see it. If you don't have a demonstrator and need one, I'd love to send you a catalog. :)

I got this new stamp set a few weeks ago and have just been so entranced by the ease of Betsy's Blossoms I didn't get to play with it much. I inked it up this weekend and I have to say I love it too! I thought I'd pair it up with a challenge and get my Clean and Simple card of the week thrown in at the same time. My stampin buddy April, laughed at me the other day and said "Shan, you just can't make a one layer card can you?" It would appear not. I wanted to do a one layer with this one but I think it would have been to stark, so I think I may have to simply resign myself to two layers. :)

As I said yesterday, I'm not always the brightest bulb in the pack and for the love of me I can't remember the name of this new set...something like Forever with You, kinda-sorta-maybe? Augh! I'll have to get back to you on that since I can't look it up in the catalog on line like I normally would. *SMH*

I used this sketch over at Sketch Frenzy Fridays for my inspiration-

Thanks Robbie Rubala for a great sketch. (Which I obviously didn't look too closely at before finishing up since there are 4 lines in the corner instead of 3. Sorry!) I thought this would be a great time to get out my Simply Scored tool and I thought this stamped image would be perfect with this sketch.

I started with a base of Midnight Muse, my favorite of the new colors and quite possibly destined to be one of my new all time favorites. Such a rich, velvety color. I wasn't sure we needed another dark blue, but it's Fabulous! Over that is layered a single piece of Whisper White. I used my Simply Scored with the Diagonal Plate to make the score lines. It doesn't show up well on the picture, but in real life it's just a nice subtle accent. I inked up my stamp by coloring the image with my New In-Colors Markers in Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Pink. This panel is popped up with dimensionals and I was done.

Here's a closer look at my stamped image-

I love this image, the sentiment, the font everything. I can't wait to play around with it even more!

So, normally I would have an inside to show you too, but not today. Initially I wasn't sure what I wanted to put on the inside and then I just ran out of time, but believe me when I say I'll make it as pretty as the outside. :)

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you liked the card and I hope it inspires you to make something for that special person who makes everywhere seem like home. If you liked today's card, feel free to leave me a comment. I love hearing from you! If you liked it and would like to +1 or Pin it, I've put the buttons on my sidebar for your convenience.

End of the Week Technique #33 - Clear Block Background Stamping #2/ Let's Try Again

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to a spectacular 3 day weekend. :)

For those of you that are new here, or for some reason missed last weeks EWT, I'm giving this technique a second try. How could others get such pretty results and projects and mine stink!?! (Ok so that's just my opinion and I'm told it didn't really stink, but by now most of us know I'm a little hyper-critical of my own short-comings and last week made me want to tuck my little Scaredy Cat tail between my legs and I just couldn't have that!)

Here's today's card-

Clear Block Background Technique with Easy Events/ Clean and Simple

Can I just say I am sooooo much happier with this card!

There are two new elements to this weeks card, but I believe I would have been happy even if I had not added them.

Here's last weeks card-

 For this weeks card, instead of making it a one-layer card I added a base of Bashful Blue, still C&S though. I also added a few extra hearts floating above the tree. Looking now, as I just added the second picture, I also see I changed the orientation on the blocks, however that was un-intentional.

If you look back at last weeks post, you can check it out HERE, my biggest complaint with this technique was my inability to get even coverage on the blocks, especially the accent colors, and being unable to mask the center one to make it appear to be layered above the other two blocks of color. Every time I tried the mask, even as thin as it was seemed to make it even harder for me to get decent coverage. :(

After I posted last week and thought about what could have been causing my problems, I thought I remembered reading somewhere to use a soft mat to stamp on instead of a hard surface. That the mat would have some give and allow for more even coverage. So I decided to try again. I got my computer mouse-pad and used it under my c/s and the difference was Unbelievable! The coverage was nice and even and I got beautiful edges around my masked center piece.

SCORE!!!!!! Ok , so now this won't have to be considered my Least Favorite Technique any longer.

Here's the inside of my card-

I inked up the little heart from a new stamp-set I got as a bonus for recruiting during SAB. (And for the love of me, I can't remember the name of it right now!) Any-whoo - its a sweet little solid heart image, the one that's all red above. For the other two hearts, I simply used my Stampin Write Marker's brush tip and outlined just the edge of the stamp by holding my marker almost parallel to the stamp and lightly stroking it over just the edge of the stamp. I think it's the first time I've tried this and I have to say it gives the look of two stamps from one. Love that! I then let Tink have her way for just a moment. I'm a firm believer that the inside of a card should be pretty too. Why should the outside have all the fun?!? :D

Here's how to do this technique-

1- Start with a clean block and tap it on your ink pad until you get it covered completely.
2- Lay your cardstock over a soft surface- this could be your Mat-Pack pad or computer mouse pad or something similar just so long as it has some give. This is definitely the key to consistent coverage with this technique! It made all the difference!!! :)
3- Stamp on your cardstock with your block, applying firm pressure and lift straight up.
4- If you want to add multiple layers of colors, stamp your first section again on a post-it style note and use that to "mask" your stamped area so no new ink gets on it.
5- Ink up your chosen image, either by inking it in all one color with a pad or by coloring it in with your Stampin Write markers (like I did) and stamp your image.
6- Smile and be happy when you think of the smile your card is going to bring to someones face


That's all I have for you today. Hopefully you thought it was worthy of a re-do. Now I feel like this is a technique I will try again. Thanks to those of you that encouraged me to not give up after last weeks attempt!


If you liked today's card, please feel free to leave a comment. I love hearing from you! Also, if you liked it and would like to +1 or Pin it, I've put those buttons on my sidebar for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too. :)

Well...I Finally Found my Least Favorite Technique! / End of the Week Technique #31- Clear Block Background Stamp

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Thursday! Just one more day to go till the weekend. I'm actually really excited about tomorrow, because I have an interview for a job I've been trying to get for over 2 years. Five candidates are being interviewed so, for those of you that believe in a little divine intervention, (via prayer), or just good energy, I'd appreciate it if you were able to send a little my way. :)

***Disclaimer*** If you're not new to my blog you know I always try to be honest with you. I've often said how easy it is to be frustrated by the seeming perfection of other stampers blogs. You know what I mean, how the cards always look just right and no-one ever seems to have any difficulties. Well, I can assure you if perfection is what you're looking for you've stopped at the wrong site. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy with most of my creations. My gold standard is "would receiving this card put a smile on my face?" If the answer is yes, than I feel good about posting it. While I would definitely be happy to receive today's cards from someone else (because they had taken the time to create something just for me) my OCD is simply not allowing me to be overly happy with my results. I realize this is in all likelihood, a fault in my own reasoning and hope you will try your hand at this technique anyways. I am posting both cards today even though they are not my favorites because today's blog is about the technique and not my ability to be happy with the results produced by an inherently, non-consistent technique. At the end of the day though, my blog is about trying new things and stepping out of my comfort zone, both of which I did with today's technique.

On to today's End of the Week Technique. This is #32 for me, or about 8 months worth of techniques. I finally found one that I really didn't enjoy making. :( When I came to this realization last night it made me very sad. I wasn't sad because I had a least favorite (they can't all be favorites, right?) I was sad because I have loved so many cards done with this technique. However, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, it's not new information that I'm a little OCD (have you seen the title of this blog?) and this technique does not lend itself to precision or predictable outcomes. I even did two samples and still ended up with the same sense of dissatisfaction. Hopefully though, when you try this technique you will enjoy yourself.

Here's today's card-

Clear Block Background Stamping

In addition to using this as my EWT, I am using this as my Clean & Simple card of the week. I was hoping to be able to get a one-layer WOW card with this technique, but it didn't quite happen that way, for me at least.

I really had high hopes for this when I stamped my center, Bashful Blue section. The coverage was so even and even looked a little textured. I was doing my little *happy dance* and then I stamped the Certainly Celery, and So Saffron blocks and I stumbled and felt like "Elaine" from Seinfeld doing her dance. *tear* 

I had initially masked off my B.B. section and it seemed like even that little bit of elevation was throwing off the ability to get even coverage. I laid the block back down without the mask to try and get a little better coverage which is why you can see just a small line of C.C. below the leaves of the tree and S.S. in the middle of the leaves. I stamped my image from Easy Events by coloring my image with my Stampin Write Markers in Real Red, Garden Green and Chocolate Chip.

I decided to try again without the masking. Here's the second attempt-

Clear Block Background Stamping

While I'm much happier with the fact that these are all more consistent in their appearance, I really liked the idea of the center section being just B.B. so that it, in my mind at least, looked like it was lifted above the others giving it a layered effect. Perhaps I just need to do a single block or a single color. I'm hoping some of you will chime in and let me know if I'm being totally off my rocker on this. The more I'm looking at the second one, it's starting to grow on me a little.

Here's what you'll need to for this technique-
Clear Blocks,Colored Classic Ink Pads (I think light colors would probably work best for this) and the stamp of your choice.

Here's how to do this technique-

1- Start with a clean block and tap it on your ink pad until you get it covered completely.
2- Stamp on your cardstock with your block, applying firm pressure and lift straight up.
3- Ink up your chosen image, either by inking it in all one color with a pad or by coloring it in with your Stampin Write markers (like I did) and stamp your image.
4- Do one of two things, a- admire your creation and think of the smiles it's going to bring or b- curse loudly at your inability to be content with what you consider to be non-symmetrical, un-even, not perfect results. Three guess as to which one I did and the first two don't count. :)

In my defense I don't even do things like "Tie-Dye" because of the unpredictability of the results and the irregularities inherent in the process. :(

I do however think I will try this at least once more but maybe on a smaller card where I only feel the need for one color.

I don't have an inside to show you today. :( I feel like such an "Epic Failure" with today's post. *SMH*  In my despondency over what I felt to be my failure to create a beautiful card, I kinda lost my Mojo and couldn't think of anything for the inside. I stamped a sentiment from the now retired P.S. I love you (I had really hoped this would carry over, it had such nice "loving" sentiments) and just couldn't think of anything else to put inside. I think I'll go back later and maybe put a few punched hearts inside.

Can I just say this technique drove me to chocolate last night! AUGH!!!

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you, at least, liked today's card. I really hope my dissatisfaction with my inability to produce a card I was thrilled with doesn't keep you from trying your hand at this technique. As always, I would love to see what you're able to come up with. Like I said, I've loved others cards with this technique, just not my own.

Till next time-

Remember- Life is often more about the storms than the peace they seek to overwhelm. It's not about Waiting for the storm to pass, but Learning to Dance in the rain.

May Thank-You Cards

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Humpday! Just two more days until the weekend. Woo-Hoo! It's a dreary day here in the DMV. Overcast with rain expected. Booooooo! I guess I shouldn't complain though...I'd much rather let God water my yard than American Water, but it's been raining so much that now I have to mow again. :)

Want to know whats not dreary? Today's Thank-You cards. Well at least I think they're cheery and I hope you will too. Oh, and of course I hope they brighten up the day of those who are going to be receiving them too!

Last weekend I had a Scentsy home party. Wow! Great product. I liked it so much I became a distributor. I'm hoping I might even be able to get a little extra money to help with my SU Convention fund. At least I know my room is going to be smelling good. My friends are going to be getting their products this weekend and I thought I would put a little Thank-You note in their bags to tell them I appreciated them and to remind them of my SU business. I was able to tell them about SU at my party and think I will be seeing some of them at my next stampcamp. If you make a purchase from me this month either in person or on one of website, you'll get one of these Thank-You cards too, that you'll be able to send next time you need to say Thanks!

Here's this month's Thank-You card-

Mixed Bunch Thank-You with Domestic Goddess DSP

Wow, not sure why those came out so dark. :(

Here's a close-up-

The most time consuming part of these cards was tying the little bows without wasting a lot of extra bakers twine. :)

These were quick and easy and believe it or not pretty clean and simple (so totally not my norm!) I started with a base of Whisper White c/s cut 3 x 6 and folded to make a 3 x 3 card, perfect for a quick little thank-you note. Next I added a 1 x 3 strip of Domestic Goddess DSP. I thought this would be perfect, because it's bright and cheery and had sweet little flowers dancing across it. I sponged the edges with Pool Party and adhered it with a little Tombow. I stamped my flowers in Pool Party and Calypso Coral and the center piece in the same color. I punched these & a base flower out with my Blossom Punch and my 1/2in circle punch.I sponged the edges of all 3 pieces with their matching Classic Ink and put them together. The two flowers are adhered with Tombow and the center of each is adhered with a scrap piece of dimensional. Make sure you don't throw your Stampin Dimensional edges away, they're great for small areas like this. I curled the top flower's petals up with my bone folder and then adhered the whole flower with 2 more dimensionals. I wrapped a coordinating piece of bakers twine twice around the front of each card and tied it off with a little bow, truly the most time consuming part of the card.

*Tip*- when you're working with the bakers twine and you don't want it to loosen up as you're attempting to tie the bow, try this first. Tie it in a knot and then make your bow from the tails. This involves a lot less fingertip acrobatics and a lot less waste. I used 15 1/2 inches to wrap these twice and then tie the bows and trimmed less than 1/4 in off the tails if any. You know I'm all about conserving supplies and of course money. Sure you could cut a longer length and trim it down, but why waste the extra?

I just realized as I was preparing this that I didn't take a pic of the inside. *SMH* It has a simple script Thank-You stamped in the color of the flower. When I give these to my friends, I will write my thank-you to them on a sticky-note that I put inside, so they can use the card again.

If you like the DSP I used, it's retiring in just 3 weeks so make sure you get it before it's all gone. You can get it in my ONLINE STORE. Our accessories are going quick too. Don't wait too long or your favorites might be gone.

I can't wait to share the new catalog with you all. My pre-order is on it's way,so hopefully I 'll have some new samples for you sometime next week.

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you liked this quick and easy little Thank-You card and it inspires you to make a few to have on hand. If you liked today's card, I'd love to hear from you! Also, if you liked it, and would like to +1 or Pin it, I've put the buttons on my sidebar for your convenience. Friends and Followers are always welcome too.
