[Little Tangles] Challenge #36 - Color Challenge: Peach & Mint

Hi there! I have a special post up here today. I'm invited to guest design over at Little Tangles today and they have a fun color challenge today.


Aren't those colors gorgeous? Peach & Mint - just in time for spring. Here is what I whipped up for you guys.

Dreams Do Come True

The notecard base is a from Target's Dollar Spot. I stamped Vellum with Versamark and embossed it with White Zing! powder. I also water colored the vellum with Ranger Feathered Peacock. After it tried, I turned around the speech bubble and embossed the other side with this beautiful white script.

Dreams Do Come True

The washi tape is a fun little white polka dot peach roll also from the Target Dollar Spot. I just ran it across the speech bubble and trimmed it out using an craft knife. Then I decided to add some darker, water-colored dots to embellish the speech bubble.

Anyways, this was super fun. I miss Little Tangles and it was super fun to whip up some Neat & Tangled goodies. Thank you to Heather and the team for asking me to join them - it's always fun, especially with these talented girls!

[Uniko Studio] Wow

It's miserably cold out today. I'm ready for this weather to go. We also signed up with our local CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) and I want the ground to thaw so that they can start planting delicious fruits and vegetables. One of my crafty friends was instagramming a palette of strawberries (yes, Laurie, I mean you!) and I was just a tinge jealous. 

So instead I had to busy myself at my desk and make something bright and cheery. 

I'm putting the new Uniko Studio set "Explosion!" to good use. Don't you love how the title of this stamp set as an exclamation mark on it? I love it.



Well here is the CAS version of happy bright colors...

Wow
Stamps: (Explosion!) Uniko Studio
Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Aqua Mist, White) Papertrey Ink
Ink: (Creative Color Pigment Ink - Lollipop) Mama Elephant; (Memento - Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Embellishments: (Mister Huey Neon Mini Mists - My Little Pony; Mister Huey Color Mists - Calico White) Studio Calico


I wanted to show the explosion off as the center of the card. So I used Versamark to stamp off the Explosion silhouette on the Aqua card stock again and tried to cut out the best I could with the Xacto. It's not as clean as I would like it, but you know what that means. I will be bugging Bev to make a die for this and she won't hear the end of it. 

Explosions! makes me think of Batman from the 1960s and how the screen would flash up with "POW" and "BAM." And somehow I wanted it to be whimsical and loud, so I decided to have some neon shades (I swore I would never buy neon inks and refuse to get on that bandwagon, but the one time I could use them... Darn!) So Mister Huey Neon mists and the most pigmented pink ink had to suffice - there you have it.

Wow

Anyways, there is plenty of time to enter our Uniko Studio challenge. Maybe this fun card will get you going?

[Little Tangles] Challenge #22 - Make Your own Pattern Paper


Hi everyone! So after falling very un-ladylike off the bed (I was standing on it to fix something on the ceiling fan) and getting a concussion (ugh...), I am slowly recovering. They say most of the accidents occur at home...yep, I can check that one off. 

Let me just do my public service announcement and tell everyone "Use a step ladder. Don't try to stand on a bed!" Learn from my mistakes, save yourself a concussion and several headaches...

A concussed head is super annoying... still trying to rid my headaches, experiencing these "what was I going to do?" lapses a lot (granted, before I was also forgetting things...), and my visual memory isn't as powerful. Florian and I call my impeccable visual memory my "super power" at home. 

So this special power comes is quite handy and we have been relying on it. He usually goes "Have you seen <insert missing object>?" Ever since we have moved, it's been a nightmare living out of partial boxes and renovating. And things tend to have feet in the house more often. But my super power comes in super handy. Except now, it's broken. Good bye, visual memory.

Good thing visual memory has nothing to do with crafting... my sense of style isn't completely broken. I hope. You be the judge with the quick card I made making my own Pattern Paper. I'm throwing this into the mail for Grayson, and if you don't know what I mean, check out this link.



Please consider making your cards for this little guy, when you partake in our challenge. Also dearest Amy is putting together a inlinkz and is giving away sequins from her personal stash. Go Amy for putting your stash out there.

Shine Bright
Stamps: (Sparkle and Shine) Neat & Tangled
Paper: (Perfect Basics Card Stock - Fresh Linen, Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink
Ink: (Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peacock Feathers) Ranger; (Memento - London Fog, Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Embellishments: (Find Your Wings + Fly: Up + Away Decorative Tape) My Mind's Eye


I chose to bring out this fun light bulbs and decided to stamp them alternating. Don't you just love how one bulb just fits so nicely with an inverted on? A little bit of washi to break up the card and a simple sentiment! Yep - that's it!

Shine Bright

That's all I have for you. Go see the other girls' creations. They will stun you too.

    [Little Tangles] Challenge #20 - Back to the Blackboard


    Hi everyone! I had a fabulous few days off and had some time to decompress. I had so much fun laughing with old friends that I don't get to see too often, took Florian to all the important places and people I grew up with, and ate way too much good food.

    In the meantime, I threw together a quick card for you for our Back to the Blackboard challenge. It's back to school basics and why not put together a technique that is appropriate for this time around?

    Dreams Do Come True
    Stamps: (Dreams) Neat & Tangled
    Paper: (Perfect Basics Card Stock - Smokey Shadow) Papertrey Ink; (Chalk Studio) My Mind's Eye
    Ink: (Perfect Match Pigment Ink - Fresh Snow) Papertrey Ink
    Embellishments: (Chalk Studio - Twine, Sticker Labels, Chipboard Elements) My Mind's Eye; (Sequins - Crystal Clear) Neat & Tangled


    I actually got a set of Chalk Studio My Mind's Eye pattern paper and let it do it's job. I just stamped the "Dream Do Come True" sentiment on a sticker label and then smudged it a bit around.

    Dreams Do Come True

    That's all I have for you. Go see the other girls' creations. They will stun you too.

    [Little Tangles] Challenge #17 - Into the Woods

    Note: If you're looking for the Uniko Studio Challenge - please keep scrolling ;)


    Hi everyone! We're back for a new challenge and this week we have a few changes. We are bringing Guest Designers to Little Tangles, so please welcome our first one Tenia. I'm so happy to have her long because she and I were teamies before. And she's just superb!

    Aside from that you probably wanna know the theme. This week we're tipping our hats off to all things Wood & Nature. So whip out your wood grain embossing plates, stamps, kraft colored items, burlap, cork, hemp, wood buttons or any other natural materials. Not too hard, right?

    Here is my creation for this week:

    Thinking of You
    Stamps: (Across the Card) Neat & Tangled
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Kraft) Papertrey Ink; (DYI Shop) Crate Paper
    Ink: (Jenni Bowlin - No. 11 Brown Sugar) Ranger
    Embellishments: (Sequins - Raspberry Red Satin) Neat & Tangled; (
    Cumberland Gap Add-on Kit: (Blue Grid Washi) Freckled Fawn; Savannah Shore Add-on Kit: (Diecut Embellishments - Hope Chest) Josephine Kimberling; Wood Veneer - Tiny Hearts) Studio Calico; (Natural Burlap Stickers - Birds & Butterflies) Little Yellow Bicycle

    I found some great wood grain pattern paper out of the DYI Shop collection, chose brown ink, and a burlap embellishment as my wood & natural elements. A little bit of bling and color can't hurt to tie it all together. Here is a close up of this adorable bird. 

    Thinking of You

    Just a fun shopping tip: I found a bunch of burlap, mistable fabric, and cork die cuts in Michaels on sale. I'm actually starting to like Michael's a little more for paper crafting. Recently they have been stocking Heidi Swapp, MME, Becky Higgins Project Life, Little Yellow Bicycle and a few other great finds.

    And if that's not enough wood elements, I'm still surviving on wood glue ;) My crafty things are still haven't made its way to be unpacked. We are experiencing greater delays than what we had planned. But I am making due with what orders I have made, and the one pair of scissors, the wood glue, and a foam strip I found in F's tape bin ;) They kinda work like foam adhesives but aren't as tall.

    Anyways, hope this card inspires you to play along. Check out the rest of the Design Team if you haven't. Absolutely fab creations this week.

    A few helpful things to remember:

    [Uniko Studio] April 2013 Release - Introducing Flower Power

    Hello Uniko friends! It's time for spring and I'm quite ready to be wearing all my spring & summery clothes. If you have kept up with fashion trends, then you know that bright colors, floral prints, geometric prints are quite in. Well, that was kind of my inspiration for today. So be forewarned and put on some sun glasses ;)

    Are you coming from Nicki's blog? Then you're right on track. If not, you can start at Bev's blog to not make sure you don't miss out on all the inspiration. 

    Did you see what Bev showed on Sneak Peek Day 2? A cute little graphic flower. Perfect for spring arriving, don't you think? Bev is always right on cue!

    This gorgeous set is called Flower Power, and with a set of leaves & stem, flower heads and some every day sentiments, this makes it a nice versatile flower builder set.



    I created a background with the flowers, cut out the silhouette of a flower head, and planted it all onto a card. Planted... get it? See what I did there? Har dee har har...

    Thinking of You
    Stamps: (Flower Power) Uniko Studio
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Raspberry Fizz, White, Dark Chocolate) Papertrey Ink; (POW! Glitter Paper - Rocky Road) American Crafts
    Ink: (Jenni Bowlin - No.1 Chewing Gum; No. 3 Lemon Drops; No. 4 Chicken Feed; No. 11 Brown Sugar) Ranger; (Perfect Match Pigment Ink - Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink
    Embellishments: (Sequins - Pretty Pretty Pink, Summer Sun) Neat & Tanged; (Fabric Tape - Stripe Beige) Dailylike


    Before I scare you off with my horrible puns, let's just revisit this. I created my own pattern paper by stamping the flowers in pink, then orange and then filled up whatever white space I could with yellow. This was so much fun - it was like being a kid and being turned loose on a rampid stamping session. Didn't really care where I stamped so long it made some pretty colors ;)

    Next I stamped the back of my American Crafts Glitter paper with the silhouette image of the flower and then cut it out. It wasn't too hard but rather time consuming. And since the back of the glitter paper was lined with this shiny coating of plastic, the ink (which wouldn't dry in time) would just smear all over my fingers and then onto everything else. You know what would have been perfect here? A Flower Power die - just saying. (Bev - if you're reading this, it's a hint ;)

    I also had this fabulous fabric tape in my stash. Since it wasn't broad enough for my taste, I just lined it up next to each other to create double the width. Easy peasy! And since the sequins were lying around my table, they made it onto this card as some centers and grounding for the sentiment.

    Thinking of You

    Can't say I didn't warn you on how bright it is ;) What would you make with this stamp set? How about a cute flower garden? Also, just a friendly reminder that Bev is drawing mystery prizes along the way during the Introductory posts from April 6th - 10th, so leave us your comments. And don't forget to come back for our Release Day on April 11, where you can win the entire release! 

    In the meantime, check out what Stacey has in store for you. And if you need the entire blog hop list, check below. Otherwise, see you back tomorrow for another introductory post!

    Here the whole list for easy navigation ...
    Have a fabulous week!

    [Paperplay Challenge] Week No. 37 - Fancy Folds

    Note: If you are looking for DYSU Challenge - please keep scrolling :)

    Hi there! It's Week 37. Yikes. Are you planning christmas or winter cards yet? I'm not ready, because I haven't even warmed up to Halloween card! Why does the year just go so fast?!

    If you need something to get you started, we have a fantastic and challenging challenge: Fancy Folds. This one scared the wits out of me, because I like my whole A5 cards. Why? It uses every bit of my card stock, and there is no waste. And that's how I like to roll...So here is what I came up with...

    Blank Popup Card
    Stamps: N/A
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Orange Zest) Papertrey Ink; (Gathering) Authentique
    Ink: N/A
    Embellishments: (3/8" Topnotch Twill - Dark Chocolate; Saddle Stitch - Hawaiian Shore) Papertrey Ink; (Gathering Collection: Two-sided Elements - Tabloid, Icons, Excerpts) Authentique


    If you are wondering where the fancy fold is... you're right. It's not. But here is a nice up-close shot of the card. I love these beautiful postage embellishments...aren't they beautiful? And since I had a scrap ribbon laying around, I decided to use it up now... (or never). Ever save scraps and you forget to use them?

    Blank Popup Card

    Ok, so I was kidding about not making a fancy fold card. I mean - I don't want to get fired from the team ;) So where is the fancy fold? In the inside of course...Peek-a-boo. It's a pop-up...!

    Blank Popup Card

    Hope you like it! Hop on over to see how the rest of the PPC girls did on this challenge. They will absolutely knock your socks off...! And if you're a regular reader on this blog, don't forget to answer my quick little survey on the top right! Hope you will be playing along with us this week...!

    [Papertrey Princess] Stamps Only...

    Hello Papertrey Princesses! It's my time to host a challenge (and my goal to catch up on all the other ones...). This week I had to make a sympathy card and I realized this is one of the least favorite kind of card to make. For one, it has to convey heartfelt sympathies; for another, it usually has to strike the right balance of elegance and seriousness, and not be too colorful or over-embellished. I ended up using my CAS and stamps-only route...which got me thinking, when have I only used stamps onlyI think it's natural for me to try to always find ways to embellish (and *ahem* use my stash...) But I thought this might be an interesting challenge to only use your stamps...

    Take a Moment to Remember
    Stamps: (Harvest Berry) Papertrey Ink
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - True Black, Fresh Linen) Papertrey Ink

    Ink: (Memento - Tuxedo Black, London Fog) Tsukineko
    Embellishments: N/A


    I thought the Harvest Berry set was just right for this event... I tried to stick with neutral colors. Here are the up-close shot of the sentiment, which I selectively inked up.

    Take a Moment to Remember

    I hope you like the challenge...Let's see how creative you can stretch those stamps! I'm looking forward to see your inspirations & thanks for letting me host!

    [DYSU] Challenge #75 - Paper Piecing

    Good morning, everyone! I'm hanging out in Austin this week. On a business trip enjoying the great sun & weather. When I left Jersey it was 62 degrees, rainy and cold ::shiver::

    I can't wait to get back, because I am hoping my CSA Farm has plenty of Strawberries for me to pick. We're having a family dinner planned for the weekend, so I am hoping to make a really nice dessert with fresh strawberries. Any recommendations? Leave them in the comments and I will be eternally grateful!

    So we're actually back to inspire you on our weekly DYSU challenge Paper Piecing. So grab out your pattern paper and card stock out of your stash. The other reason why this is a special DYSU Challenge is because we're saying goodbye to two very special members: Keilly & Marcy. This will be their last week they will be playing along as a DYSU DT member, so please give them some extra love and let them know how much you appreciate their inspirations.



    I decided to whip out my old but trusty Afternoon Tea stamp set from Waltzingmouse Stamps. Yep - one of my favorite stamp companies. This card definitely pushes my boundaries, since this is more scrappy and has a bunch of busy embellishments going on. I kept putting things on and wanted to resist the urge of pulling all the items back off...but after much self-control I was able to leave it at that.

    Cherish
    Stamps: (Afternoon Tea) Waltzingmouse Stamps; (10 Border and Sentiments ?) Just Rite
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Sweet Blush) Papertrey Ink; (Miss Caroline - Dolled Up) My Mind's Eye
    Ink: (Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Sugar Spun, Vintage Photo; Jenni Bowlin - No. 11 Brown Sugar) Ranger
    Embellishments: (Ribbon with Rose, Dragonfly) The Craft's Meow Mystery Box; (Soft-core Color Pencils) Prismacolor; (Nestabilities - Picot Edge Circles, Standard Circles Small) Spellbinders; (1.25 Circle Punch) Marvy Uchida


    I was flipping through my 6x6 Miss Caroline Dolled Up pad and this fun scrappy like pattern paper jumped right out at me. After much debate, I decided a teacup would be an appropriate focal point, and I tried to repeat the doily concept that's on the paper print.

    Cherish

    The teacup is perfect with that little vintage rose pattern paper and I love the patterns. I colored in the rims with a little bit of pink color pencil and stamped it in Jenni Bowlin Brown Sugar. The tag "Cherish" is a Just Rite stamp set that I received in a RAK. Stamped in more Jenni Bowling Brown Sugar and sponged with Antique Linen. The doily has a little hint of Sugar Spun to match the teacup and the little bit of ribbo I snipped. Here is another photo with a little more dragon fly...love the bright fresh green color, don't you?

    Cherish

    I am actually not sure where this little guy or the ribbon is from. It was in my The Craft's Meow Grab Box and there were many great embellishments surprises.

    So that's all I have for you today. Go check out the amazing creations by the talented DT and make sure to give Keilly and Marcy extra love. This is their final a week and will debut the new DT's creations in one week...I look forward to seeing your paper pieced creations this week!

    [Waltzingmouse Blog Party] Felt Like Saying Hi...

    Hello everyone! It's time for another party with my favorite stamping company! In case you're new along, I hope you enjoy all the great inspiration you see from all the Waltzingmouse Fans. This blog party usually goes on the 17th of each month, but due to Claire's mum passing, it's been postponed to now. I would like to dedicate this blog hop and card-making session to the one and only Claire Brennan. Her mum is who we get to thank for Claire's artistic talent & passion, and from Claire's post, it seems like Claire's mum was quite an artist herself! So, it's only appropriate to dedicate a crafting event such as this blog party to these two amazing women, past & present.

    This month we're getting down & crafty with Felt. I'm glad I got to sneak this card in... 


    Blank Greeting Card
    Stamps: (Text It, Musical Backgrounds, Basket Additions) Waltzingmouse Stamps
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Vintage Cream, Sweet Blush) Papertrey Ink; (Stella & Rose Gertie) My Mind's Eye
    Ink: (Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Vintage Photo, Antique Linen; Jenni Bowlin - No. 11 Brown Sugar) Ranger
    Embellishments: (Rainbow Felt - Gold, Orange, Shocking Pink) Kunin; (L'occitane Ribbon) Recycled Stash


    Lots of my card have been lacking sentiments on my front recently. Must be getting lazy ;) But I also thought a punny statement inside that says..."Felt Like Saying Hi" was just perfect. I like to keep hand-written sentiments on the inside - still feeling shy about my penmanship.

    I decided to make some rolled felt flowers. Since this year's fashion is all about the bold almost neon colors, I chose my three favorite brights out of my sample pile of felt. This felt is made my the Kunin Group and is made out of recyclable materials. I also had more of that L'Occitane ribbon lying on my desk and decided to snip off a few to make little leaves. If you read a few posts back, you may have read my up-cycling attempt with this ribbon.


    Blank Greeting Card

    The rest of the card is pretty simple. Stamped the musical background in Vintage Photo, created my square by using the Text It frame and added pattern paper. Then mounted the basket on foam dimensional and popped the flowers on there. After much deliberation I didn't like the Vintage Photo musical background - it was too dark. So pulled off the top most panel with the flowers and redid the background using Antique Linen on the Sweet Blush paper. Much better :)

    So, I'm off to head to bed, but can't wait to see your l
    ovely creations...In the meantime for the state-side girls, Happy Memorial Day weekend! We get an extra day off! To those who have a normal two-day weekend, I wish you a wonderful one too! Thanks so much for stopping by. Let me know what you're up to this weekend... and thank you in advance of your inspirations!

    [Paperplay Challenges] Week No. 21 - Summer Lovin'

    Note: If you are looking for DYSU challenge - please keep scrolling :)

    Hello there! Little me again :) It's almost Memorial Day weekend and I can't wait to catch up all the things I need to do. We have visitors coming soon, so we have to straighten up the house, clean, and especially tackle the craft room which doubles as a guest room. I doubt my guests want to dive onto a bed full of pattern paper, chipboard, stamps and what nots; neither will they be able to find a small uncluttered corner and curl up and sleep (like my cats do while I craft). But onto business, shall we?

    At PaperPlay Challenge we are inspiring you to whip out inspirations that make you see Summer Lovin'. Aside from the Grease song stuck in my head, summer means full of life. The farming season are in full gear, the kids are out playing, and it's the right weather to go biking. I'm not one of those hard-core bikers who like to chance it in the winter. I prefer my carefree summer days to that... so here is a card dedicated to this fun summer activity.


    IMG_5181
    Stamps: (City of Lights Kit) Hero Arts + Studio Calico
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - White) Papertrey Ink; (Nantucket Collection) Pink Paislee
    Ink: (Jenni Bowlin - No. 9 Spice Tin) Ranger
    Embellishments:  (Stella & Rose Mabel "Little Lady" Trim) My Mind's Eye; (Tiny Twinkles - Multicolored) Taylored Expressions; (Vintage Button Autumn Mix) Papertrey Ink; (Corner Chomper) We R Memory Keepers; (Zig Zag Chain Punch) EKSuccess


    This card is actually also inspired by the current Embellish Challenge, and when I saw bicycles, it just clicked that this is the perfect summer inspiration I wanted to highlight.


    It was also quite an experience trying to put this card together while hearing these lyrics "I Want to Ride my Bicycle" by Queen in my head. At least I managed to get Grease out of my head. Here an unclose picture of the bikes. Aren't they lovely? I think the basket is just too cute! It's a whole bike family with Dad, Mum, and Child going on an adventure.

    Enjoy the Ride

    Everything came together pretty quickly. The orange makes a nice bold contrast to pop everything more and matches the background paper so well. The blue bikes have a little bit of pink bling to make them sparkly, and the zig zag kraft card stock gave a fun little bumpy road (and broke up the bold orange a little bit). And since the button overhangs a little, I thought it made sense to make the kraft overhang a little ;)

    IMG_5185

    What is your summer thing? What do you and your family look most forward to?

    Anyways, hop on over to the other PPC girls and see what they have created for this week's challenge. They have always lovely creations and bring great ideas to the table!

    [DYSU] Challenge #63 - Favorite Color

    Hello everyone! I've been two days in training and am so glad that I am home now. It's been quite a long week and I am looking forward to this weekend, where I will be helping my friend throw her "Bubbles & Brunch" party.

    In the meantime, this week at DYSU we have a great spring challenge. With all the colors coming out of hibernation and this year's fashion trends, it's color galore. So it's perfectly appropriate to celebrate your Favorite Color. Bring on your colors...We want to see them!



    Here is a card using some amazing products from The Craft's Meow...

    Friend of Mine
    Stamps: (Claire Brennan Images - Friend of Mine) The Craft's Meow
    Paper: (Paper Basics Card Stock - Aqua Mist, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink; (Grab Box - pattern paper) The Craft's Meow; (Stack Pack - Red) Recollections
    Ink: (Jenni Bowlin No. 11 - Brown Sugar) Ranger;
    Embellishments: (Grab Box - brown buttons) The Craft's Meow; (Nestabilities - Big Scalloped Circles Large) Spellbinders; (Border Punch 
    - Arch Lattice) Martha Stewart; (Sewing Thread - White) Gütermann

    I am really in love with this little butterfly. For this card I used the sketch challenge that is currently running on The Craft's Meow


    I am always one to interpret the sketches and "fudge" until I can fit it into what I want to create. In this case I wanted the sentiment to be the focal point and, and I moved the buttons down a bit. Here an unclosed picture of the little butterfly saying "hello" to my friend :)


    Friend of Mine

    So that's all I have for you today; go check out the amazing creations by the talented DT. And I look forward to seeing your color creations!
