For my mother who LOVEs green and nature, so this will be her Mother's day card. The old Joanne Fabric embossing powder was the worst ever and I have thrown it in the trash. I hate how it worked out, but I know my mom will still love it. I must get some better quality white powder!</div>

I went to Target today and finally found that deco tape everyone has found and are using! So of course I got all three package colors. (some are seen on the left :))<br />
<br />
So I am finally getting around to the pocket card on the <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/05/make-it-monday-68-pocket-cards.html">make it monday challenge</a> at Papertrey Ink and just made this gender neutral card for any celebration. No sketch, no inspiration, just me trying to be creative. And...just to let you know...blank areas on the inside card is to make sure that we have room to put our names....and might actually attach a gift card in the middle over the tape...just have to decide how it looks! <br />
<br />
SUPPLIES:<br />
The outside has a scallop patterned paper 12x12-- origin unknow-- that I cut out by hand.<br />
<br />
Target "washi" tape. (I use the quotation marks because I know it is just printed/colored masking tape!)<br />
<br />
The rest is Papertrey Ink:<br />

I am still trying to make a male card every time I do any female card. It is not as good as my first. At least in the way of matching the inspiration photo, but I am sure it will be loved as a fathers day car.<br />
Supplies:<br />
Clear embossing chevron stamp on the black cs, white circle embossed with embossing folder...kinda like stripes, don't know name...celebrate stamp set and die with masculine motif sentiment for the happy fathers day.<br />
<br /><br />
These are the challenges that I will be entering this card into beyond the pti blog hop!<br />

I think next I will try and do a black background one...se what I come up with in an hour or so more...but I like this photo and love the colors and simplicity it insprires in me, so I am running on this one trying to make as many as I can tonight! I made this half as my kids were getting ready to go out to eat, finished it while they "watered" the plants...aka, half of themselves...and got half the posting done while doing teeth and jammies! Now they are asleep and I want to try and get more done! I am motivated! :)</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11136216090810469104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704642500985415338.post-77443140646435653162012-05-19T21:47:00.000-05:002012-05-19T21:47:01.729-05:00My first rosetta/rolled flower<div>

So, I decided I needed to stamp tonight and inked up some stamps that had never been touched, some lightly used and one used a lot!<br />
<br />
I had made these diecut flowers for the Papertrey Ink Make it monday color challenge and never made a card with them. So I did tonight.<br />
<br />
But, then I did a big oops when I stamped the inside! Hehe...<br />
Stamps used: PTI: Frilly Flowers (matching) dies), sentiment from Heart to Heart #2<br />

I had never used the medallion stamps and just love them, but never got them out....so Off to case I did. Used blueberry sky pti ink and cs. sentiment is from masculine motifs. Mendi medallion stamp set is also from pti. I love that I got a manly card done today! <br />

Raspberry fizz, summer sunrise, enchanted evening (I don't have royal velvet, figured the enchanted evening is pretty close!) No poppy, too simple of card for too many colors!</div>

Wow....creating original designs are just so much more difficult to do then just CASEing someone!<br />
<br />
I have really been challenged...I think/hope in a good way in stretching my creativity in doing cards from scratch as challenged by the <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/04/make-it-monday-64-using-color-inspiration.html">Make it Monday chall</a>enge of using color inspiration!<br />
<br />
The picture of the color inspiration uses the following colors (I leave out vintage cream)<br />
Kraft<br />
Terracotta<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxajYgqGNbYJ1NYcP1fKWlCLgyZyO2-oF_vs3AnZsrrZpl7JDrEhnmOAdeX4cyhfbw6do0KsQT_02wG8t_05xPyrh4ce7_5E-L5bjs2Smcgkn5zrcjAVJ0KKO74n2Dt2M2glt5cjVlkGDf/s1600/masculine+color+combo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxajYgqGNbYJ1NYcP1fKWlCLgyZyO2-oF_vs3AnZsrrZpl7JDrEhnmOAdeX4cyhfbw6do0KsQT_02wG8t_05xPyrh4ce7_5E-L5bjs2Smcgkn5zrcjAVJ0KKO74n2Dt2M2glt5cjVlkGDf/s320/masculine+color+combo.png" width="320" /></a>Aqua<br />
Linen<br />
I chose this color combo because I thought it was the closest to being Masculine compared to the others!<br />
<br />
I always try to make a masculine card when I am working on cards because I need them just as much in my life as the others!<br />
<br />
I am not sure I like the leaves in right side and right bottom (which are covered). but it is done and I hope it passes my husband's okay for guy enough so I can use it for my married nephew's birthday coming up! :)<br />
<br />
Products Used: all pti unless designated<br />
Cardstock: Kraft, linen, terracotta, aqua <br />
inks: ranger distress inks vintage photo, antique linen, pti aqua<br />
stamps: masculine motif set, postmarks backgrounds set<br />
others: framed out 3 die, linen thread, spellbinder circle die, stars border die, sewing machine<br />
<br />
I am also entering it into several other Challenges as follows....<br />

Second combo done....2 in one day! Impressing myself! I never get this creative, this often.<br />
Here is the color inspiration picture from the <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/04/make-it-monday-64-using-color-inspiration.html">Papertrey Ink Make it Monday Challenge</a>.<br />
<br />
I left out melon berry color because I believe all sympathy cards should be some what simple, and boy was I having a hard time with even this many colors!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnJilrC041oextANxu57hZIv3JKDf8GOnw7yI3o69rJxSBVszaPevfIGloR5uT54meKwc2yuZHJO-oJPEouGhQzZFgCkG06sLneVlzURUzSHacWpSjcVCOgQp0RdCxfpg38AXrm3g_6nu/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnJilrC041oextANxu57hZIv3JKDf8GOnw7yI3o69rJxSBVszaPevfIGloR5uT54meKwc2yuZHJO-oJPEouGhQzZFgCkG06sLneVlzURUzSHacWpSjcVCOgQp0RdCxfpg38AXrm3g_6nu/" /></a><br />
<br />
Stamps: Out on a limb , tweet talk<br />
Cardstock: blush, canyon, leaf lemon, <br />
Inks: canyon, leaf, black, versamark <br />
Others:
Spellbinder die, SU button die, linen thread, glossy accents<br />
<br />
(The versamark ink was using the tweet talk bird tail outline on the yellow for a little something, not sure how will it showed up!)<br />
<br />
There are 3 button diecuts glued together and topped with glossy accents to try to make it look real.<br />
<br />
<br />
Is there too much going on for a sympathy?<br />
Thinking back looking at it I think I should left out the canyon base layer, made the blush later under bigger, then made a big button out of the canyon and put it under the yellow one. Hmmmm..... a thought for next time.<br />

Actually designed my card from start to finish just like Nicole challenged us to do in the <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/04/make-it-monday-64-using-color-inspiration.html">Make It Monday</a> Challenge. She walked us through her design process starting with a color combo inspiration. I loved learning how she uses 3 of each color to make sure things are balanced out. That was good to know. I think it helped me out alot on this card.<br />
<br />
I have never used so little white cardstock in my LIFE! But I love this card. <br />
<br />
First time I used all stamps and dies. Just got the tag sale 6 die, tweet talk stamp set and dies and ric rack die yesterday, houndstooth is just seeing its first ink from last months order. heart is from the heart to heart 2, which mostly got inked, just not the heart!<br />
All cardstock and stamps/dies are from PTI. Yellow/white bakers twine is from unknown place! :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is my color inspiration choice. Left out the melon berry color, although it is the cardstock under the houndstooth stamping....stamped with berry sorbet. Only two aquas, but it takes center stage, so I let that one slide. Blueberry On the birdie, heart and "a little birdie told me" (3). Berry Sorbet ink for houndstooth, "you're getting married" and birdie die. Harvest Gold on rickrack, tag topper and the white/yellow.<br />
<br />
Overall I love how it turned out. Will be giving to my niece for her wedding shower coming up in ...oohh... 16 days from now! Yikes! What gift will this be going on??? hmmm...have to work on that!<br />
<br />
I plan is to make a card from each of the color challenge colors or at least from 6 more and enter them into the make it monday challenge! :) I love this challenge!!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11136216090810469104noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704642500985415338.post-28325677218314981632012-04-29T20:44:00.000-05:002012-04-29T20:44:17.741-05:00Cutie birthday card<div>

<br />When I first saw the "springtime" theme at the <a href="http://kraftinkimmiestamps.blogspot.com/2012/04/challenge-126-springtime.html">Kraftin Kimmie Challenge blog</a> I first thought of Lilly Lemon....but then as I sorted through my stamps, I was drawn to Charlotte. I was torn...Honestly, it was hard because I was thinking of my daughter Lilly while making this card...but, she is so much more like Charlotte....curly hair, loves her dollies, and has *THAT* gleam in her eye. She is almost 3, but my wonderful husband and I do think that she will be our biggest challenge, (even though she is the biggest lovey!)<br />
<br />
So, I am trying to use up my scraps, so I started with the small square in the right corner...it is a floral pattern that matches the stripes from a Echo Park Springtime paperpack. Since I am using floral papers...She is my flower power gal as challenged by <a href="http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/04/flower-power.html">Joanna Sheen</a>. I browsed the challenge blogs to find a sketch that would work and found it at <a href="http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/2012/04/week-205-28th-april-sponsored-by-craft.html">Sketch Saturday</a>. I subsituted the ruffled dark purple for a paper in the sketch, but I like it. I found it a bit challenging to use this sketch, because I made this card into an easel card. (This is only my second time doing an easel! Don't know why! I love them!)<br />
<br />
So...I think she is adorable, fashioned after my own little cutie....so I entering her into the <a href="http://7kidschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/challenge-46-make-it-cute.html">7kidschallenge blog</a> for "make it cute". I also used the recipie from <a href="http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/04/week-180-recipe-challenge.html">One Stop Craft Challenge</a> of 1 image, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments. I almost couldn't make it work with the 3 embellishments because I had the ribbon and the bling, but couldn't decide what else to add (I am CAS at heart!) So....I then realized that I had not colored the ruffle at the bottom of the yellow overskirt, so I decided to add purple stickles. What Little girl DOESN'T want a little sequin or sparkle on her gown??? Lilly Loves to wear dresses...and actually, if she doesn't behave, I threaten her with "I will make you wear PANTS!"<br />
<br />
The sentiment at the bottom of the yellow stripes is from gina K sentiments (can't remember which...says happy birthday) and is on a spellbinder that is only half showing.<br />
<br />
On the inside, there is a tiny tags stamp "wish big" from papertrey ink and there are fake dew drops above it to hold the card up. Hope you like! I do!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11136216090810469104noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704642500985415338.post-74802857954310697762012-04-29T18:18:00.003-05:002012-04-29T18:18:51.609-05:00CAS masculine glitter birthday card<div>

I topped them with glossy accents to give them a little something. I always love the paint splatters I have seen, so I tried it with my glimmer mist, which was a light brown, so it doesn't make such a statement....but doesn't look horrible. Just doesn't show up much in the picture.<br />
<br />
The border stars were run through the xyron and then glittered. This was the make monday video at papertrey ink. Tell you what!!! I will NOT do it again on such an intricate die. The sticky stuff stretched over the centers and I had to use an exacto knife to get in all the corners to get the extra adhesive off! Should have gone with my second idea with the balloon, but, I only had brown glitter and didn't love the brown balloon look!<br />

So, I began with this photo from pti for inspiration.<br />
<br />

I decided to take away colors, floral and damask print to begin gathering supplies. Got out a cuttlebug embossing damask folder and then I ran through one and decided I wanted a more double look and ran it through between the plates plain to make it less embossed.<br />
<br />
I used the only floral diesI had in raspberry fizz and their blush from pti and held them together with a brad....which I think I will color or something to change it's color.<br />
<br />
Now I had my main concept down I needed a sketch because I kept going back to the same sketch I have been doing forever.<br />

I am not sure if I am going to make this into a birthday card or into a bridal shower for my neice. I wiped out my stash of birthday cards....a gift of cards to my mother for her birthday, but I have both coming up soon. I figure I would just add a tiny tag under the bow for the sentiment when I decide what I need!</div>
