Mojo Monday 293 Sketch Challenge

I decided when I saw the Mojo Monday 293 Card Sketch Challenge that Julee Tilman created I knew I had to do it especially when I received my fabulous Whimsical Stamp Set from Inspired by Stamping today.

Here is the fabulous sketch and you still have plenty of time to play along just make sure to go to Mojo Mondays Blog to get the details on how to link your project up. It is really is easy and so fun to do. 

I love to fussy cut so I used my precision scissors and cut around the oval bird that was on a sheet of the My Minds Eye Handsome paper, placing in on the front of my card base prior to placing my Thank You Sticker from SRM Stickers. I love to mix stamping with stickers, love the effect it gives.

Here is the fabulous Whimsical Banners that I received from Inspired by Stamping, all I can say is that they are awesome. The best part is you get 10 different banners and two different string stamps on the set, how fabulous is that. I used Memento Danube Blue Ink to stamp my images and look how perfectly it matched my papers. Don't you love how they look like they are blowing in the breeze, all you have to do is glue just the top down and use a petal roller to tip the points up. Well, I hope you enjoyed my take on Julee sketch, check out Mojo Mondays blog and make sure to check out other stamp sets over at Inspired by Stamping. Hugs Pammjeo

Spring Cards with Couture Creations

Have you seen all of the fabulous nesting dies from Couture Creations!!!! Oh my if you haven't they are a must for all of your scrapbooking needs to create your projects with.  So today I am going to show you how to make these two fabulous cards using them and that includes making the beautiful flower.

My "Miss You" Card is made with both the Nesting Circle and Nesting Scallop Circle Die Cuts.

I ran several at one time by cutting my paper to fit and running them in my die cut machine.

I cut a couple extra ones out to make my flowers with.

Taking my Precision Scissors and tow of the circle die cut, I cut them to form a spiral.

Taking the Precision Tweezers, I started on the outside of the cut spiral circle and wrapped around the tweezers carefully not to pinch the sides as I was going around. Once wrapped, remove from tweezers and glue the middle of the flower to the bottom of the spiral. 

After you have your pattern paper placed on to your card front add your layered sentiment circles to the front of the card with Couture Creations Foam Tape and place your flowers to the top of the card. Add your bow, flags, fussy cut leaf and some pretty Couture Creations Bling to the front of the card.

My "Love You" Card is using the Nesting Vintage Rectangle Die and the Nesting Scallop Rectangle Die to create my card with.

Again I layered several of the nesting dies and paper on my die cut platform together and cut them out

Once I had layered my Nesting Vintage Rectangle  I took my ruler along with the Handheld Essentials Kit and cut my Rectangle layers apart.

I place the two pieces about and 1 1/4" apart and placed them to the front of my card base that I had placed my pattern papers on.  

I layered my Scallop Rectangles to the front of my card, added my sentiment sticker along with another of the beautiful flowers I made from the Nesting Circle Die. I hope  you play with some of your Nesting Dies and if you need some check them out at Couture Creations, they have a fabulous selections of dies, embossing folders, tools, etc. Hugs Pammejo

Thank You Card - Color Inspiration

I love the Color Inspiration on Scrapbook News and Review, they always make me want to create. Today I made this beautiful card using GCD Studios papers, Graphic 45 Metal Flowers and SRM Thank You Sentiment. 

Here is the photo that I was inspired by, hope you try your had at making something beautiful using it.

Of course I have to share a closer look at the fabulous metal flowers that I molded a bit and did some paint streaks on them using my white paint dabber. Once the paint dried I layered them together added a brad and placed it next to my SRM Thanks a Bunch Sticker. I hope you try doing color challenges. Hugs Pammejo

Supplies: GCD Studio paper, Graphic 45 metal flowers, SRM Thank You Sentiments, white paint dabber.

Monchromatic Pointsettia Card

Do you ever surf the internet, blogs, facebook, etc I know I do. A few weeks ago I seen a card done in monochromatic  hues of white. I thought it was so pretty and thought I would have to make a card using the hues of white. I border punched the front bottom of my card base out using EK Success Abstract border punch. I cut two pieces of paper to fit the front of my card, punching one with the same border punch I had previously used. I then embossed both pieces using  snowflake embossing folders from Sizzix and Lifestyle Crafts. Once done I placed them on the front of my card.

  

I made a beautiful poinsettia using McGills flower punch, tool set and mat. Once all of my flower pieces were rolled and formed I painted them with Glimmer Glaze. The Glimmer Glaze will help make them firm and hold their shapes. I allowed each piece to dry completely before I placed them together to form my flower.

I placed the poinsettia on the card front once my eyelet lace was on my card. I love SRM Sticker and the Season's Greetings! gives my monochromatic card just the right amount of color along with the red twine bow. The stick pins just gave my card the final touch that it need. I hope you try your hand on monochromatic colors. Hugs Pammejo

You Are My Sunshine Card and Sketch with SNR

Today is a sketch that is being shown on Scrapbook News and Review Blog. I hope you enjoy my take on it and try making a card yourself with the sketch, just remember to always give the sketch designer credit. Today sketch designer is Lucy Chesna Designs.

I used American Craft Fresh Squeezed Collection to make You Are My Sunshine Happy Birthday Card. You Are My Sunshine piece is actually a recipe card that I that I attached my gift card to the front of. I made a pocket to the front of my card my just gluing the two sides and bottom of the paper piece that I had decorated to the front of the card.

I added an accordion flower that I placed an epoxy flower over a lemon circle using an Epiphany Punch. The "happy" is part of a paper strip and the "birthday" comes off of a SRM Sticker. I also added some ribbon to the front of my card, to my recipe card and stapled them on with my tiny attacher. Try looking at your paper stash to see what unique items you can use to make your gift cards become apart of. Hugs Pammejo

Thank You Card - Graphic 45

Hard to believe that school has been in session for almost 3 weeks. I decided I needed to make a few thank you cards for some of my favorite teachers. I hope you enjoy this one I made using Graphic 45 ABC Primer Collection. I placed the die cut on pop dots once I corner rounded and inked the edges of it with Chestnut Roan ink from Color Box. Make sure to tie your ribbon around the die cut before placing it on the pop dots. My "Thank You" sentiment is from SRM Stickers, they are super fast way to add a sentiment to you project. I hope you take time this year to send your favorite teachers a card or a gift to acknowledge all of their hard work that they do through out the school year. It is never to early to start. Hugs Pammejo

For my second card I added this great ribbon from American Crafts. My cards are made with My Minds Eye paper and I fussy cut my fairies out and added them to the front of my card with pop dots. I am sure there will be a lot of inspiration along the way, some tutorials and of course a giveaway or two. Make sure to stop by frequently I have just gone on staff for Scrapbook News and Review. If you have never seen the online magazine it is fabulous and it also has on line classes from some of our favorite designers. Hugs Pammejo

Smile/BeeHappy Cards using Teresa Collins

REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION

Well do you like fast and simple but clean and elegant? That is exactly what I created today to share with you. I use Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze to make both of my cards. On the first card I fussy cut the grey scallop paper and added to the top of a piece of grey paper. I then corner chomped the top of the card with the EK Success Deco corner chomper and placed it to the card front once I had stamped my "Smile Celebrate This Life" from Technique Tuesday Ali Edwards stamp set and tied a yellow sheer ribbon around the paper. The large flower is actually from Jolees', They come in a 4 pack and are also fabulous for spraying Glimmer Mist, Mr Hueys, Perfect Pearls, Smooh Spritzers or other sprays on.

My second card is made by adding papers to my card base, making a flag that would fit over the middle seam line. I punched out an oval by using the EK Success Oval Scallop Punch and a sticker from the SRM Happy Sentiment Sheet. The oval was placed on pop dots and I added a small yellow sheer bow to the front of the card. I don't know about you but some times I just enjoy making clean and simple cards. Hugs Pammejo

Technique Tuesday - Using Flower Soft with Teresa Collins

I want to share my "Happy Day" card with you. Today we are going to see how easy it is to use "Flower Soft". Flower Soft gives such a beautiful dimension to any of your projects whether it is stamped or just applied to the paper that you are using. I am using Teresa Collins Everyday Moments Paper Pad and the stamp is from Tim Holtz "Flights of Fancy". If you have never used the SRM Stickers I would highly recommend you trying them, they are super easy to use and give such great appeal to any project.

I used Sage and Ocean Flower Soft along with Scotch Quick Dry Glue to achieve the look that I wanted.

I did a bit of each color over my  stamped images. The trick to doing Flower Soft, Flocking or Shaved Glitter is "PATIENCE". (Do a bit of the glue by dabbing it on to the image and then adding tiny bits of Flower Soft, do a bit more and repeat until you get the look you are wanting. Allow it to dry a bit before shaking off the excess Flower Soft, it will stick better if left alone.) I hope you give Flower Soft a try and maybe experiment with flocking or shaved glitter. Hugs Pammejo

13 Days of Halloween Day Five - Oct 19-31

Welcome to the Day Seven of the 13 Days of Halloween Blog Hop, for my Halloween project of the day is this lovely card made with Authentique Glowing 6 x 6 Paper Pack. I am so glad if you stopped by today and I would encourage you to join us in the hop by going to Lisa's Scrapping with Lisa Blog to start the hop. I placed my papers to my card base after I inked each piece and placing a piece of black cardstock behind the piece that I punched out using my EK Plaid Punch.
Here is a side view that I added a piece of the border to the inside of the card. I cut triangles out of a piece of the paper and placed it at the top of my card and added some black bling in between the flags. I also added a SRM Halloween Sticker and placed it on pop dots. I hope to see you tomorrow but now it is time to head over to the talented Janet's Create Believe Imagine at Dream Scrapbooks Blog to continue the hop.
