Lovely as a Tree Father's Day

2nd card of the night, meant for the Stampin' Royalty Masculine theme of the week, but missed Mr. Linky. Oh well, you can still see it! And just like the last post, it can easily be a Thinking of You or Birthday card. This one was super quick and easy!

Colors here are Garden Green, Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft) and Chocolate Chip. This background was also textured with the wooden craft frame in the sandwich to leave the center untextured. The texture around the oval is very light but noticeable in person. I used the other side of the wood-grain plate on this one, it's kind of a plaid. The main tree was stamped first, inking the stamp with markers. I then masked that one and stamped the two behind after stamping them off once to lighten the ink. Saying again from Teeny Tiny Wishes on oval punches. Edges on the background layer were sponged with Chocolate Chip, and the texture lightly with Garden Green.

Storm's a rolling in, time to move away from the windows!! I'm ready for a change in the weather pattern!!!

Autumn Days Father's Day

Stamping & posting in a rush tonight, trying to beat another storm that is coming. My stamp room is upstairs in our two story house that sits alone on a hill-not a place to be when the weather isn't looking good!!! I got two cards made though, here is the first for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge of the week-Father's Day.

Card base is the new Cajun Craze. Coordinating colors by the Color Coach, Perfect Plum & Always Artichoke. The background layer is Confetti Cream textured with the wood grain like texture plate and craft frame so that the center is not textured. The pheasant was inked with Cajun Craze, then thumped with the Perfect Plum & Always Artichoke markers. It kind of blends all the color together, but it also breaks up the solid look of the Cajun Craze. The textured was sponged lightly with Always Artichoke. The leaves were stamped with all three colors around the non textured oval. Ribbon along the bottom is Very Vanilla grosgrain with Build a Brad on the edge of each. In the center, Happy Fathers Day from Teeny Tiny Wishes on ovals.

I missed Fathers Day, but this would be a great Thinking of You or Birthday card as well!

APP3 Fast & Fabulous!

I did manage to sneak in a little stamping time tonight. I should be sleeping, but oh well!! Here is the sketch from Always Playing with Paper for their challenge this week.

And here is what I did with it. Definitely a Fall feeling card, not summer, but that's just how it came out! Pumpkin Pie is the only wide ribbon I own at the moment!

Card base is Chocolate chip, background is Pumpkin Pie textured with the Petals a Plenty embossing folder. The images stamped are from the hostess set Fast & Fabulous in Pumpkin Pie & Chocolate Chip. The Daisies#2 die was used to cut flowers from both Pumpkin Pie & Chocolate Chip and a 5/8" Chocolate Chip brad atttaches them all together. The saying is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is punched with the Word Window & Modern Label.

That's all for tonight!!

Welcome

This is a decorative plate that hangs out on the bar in my kitchen. I decided over the weekend it was finally time to get rid of the hearts on it (from February-YIKES!!). This is the new summer look!!

I wanted something bright and cheery for summer. I found the roll of yellow dotted ribbon in my closet and started there. My kitchen has greens in it, and my decor has sunflowers so this coordinates well. Its the Flower Fancy set stamped with Craft ink in Yoyo Yellow, outlined in Summer Sun and Always Artichoke leaves. If I had new color craft spots it would have been Daffodil Delight! The welcome is done with the retired Well-Worn Alphabet. The plate was a gift from a friend many years back (thank you Lisa!!) and I love changing it with the seasons. I know this particular plate was from a party plan company and I'm not sure if they are still in business, but I have seen similar items in the major craft stores. Once in a while it gets put away, but never for long.

I had every intention of stamping today, but so far it hasn't happened. I've been cleaning and running errands and am heading out soon for baseball. Not looking forward to that, but need to go support the 2nd Crete Pony team then be there for Kyle's game. It's warm out and horribly humid. Yuck, but Good Luck to BOTH Pony teams!!

Flower Fancy SSC156

My creation tonight while waiting up for #1 son's arrival home. He's been helping with the South Nebraska Shrine Bowl team all week, and the game was tonight. This is his 3rd or 4th year of helping and it's a great experience for him! He's in need of some rest though after a busy week!!

For the Stamping 411 sketch of the week:

Here is my creation, using a new to me stamp set, Flower Fancy. I've always liked it but didn't own it until recently! I waited to redeem my SAB earned sets until the retirement list came out and this one made the cut!!!

Card base is the new Daffodil Delight. Background is a piece of Whisper White layered under Old Olive top and bottom pieces that went through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots folder. The Whisper White in the center was stamped with the small flower and leaf. To get the lighter image I stamped off the Daffodil Delight once before stamping onto the cardstock. The edge of the Whisper White/Old Olive is lined with the new Daffodil Delight 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. The main image is the large flower, again stamped off once for the solid image. Saying from the hostess set Occasional Quotes punched with the large & scallop ovals.

Thanks for stopping by!!
