Vintage Postcard

Hi Stampers!

Today is my Design Team day for The Cutting Cafe! Regina has been coming out with some really amazing files and this week we could choose from four of the new releases! Our choices were - The Suitcase Box Template, The Suitcase Treat Box, The Suitcase Mini Book, and the Postcard Printable Set. I decided to use the postcard set for my project!

Postcards always remind me of a vintage style so that is what I tried to do with my card. Here is what I came up with:

I totally love how it came out! There are two different postcards that you get in this set. This one reminded me more of a masculine style, why I don't know - LOL- but that is the first thing that popped into my mind! For my orange layer - I used the Tim Holtz Distress Cardstock and embossed it with his Clock embossing folder and then sanded the top. The bottle was created using the Ship stamp from Gourmet Rubber Stamps. I just stamped it and then did simple sponging to age it. I added a single layer of UTEE on top so it looked glossy, and pitted with age. The Sentiment is one of my favorites too. It is called The River Bends also from Gourmet Rubber Stamps. I sponged all my edges with the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain and then distressed the edges to make them look old. The doo-dad thing in the corner was created using the Sea Charms Die-Namics from My Favorite Things and the compass with the stamps from Stampin Up! Open Sea set. My papers are from the Simple Stories Pack - Awesome. This card went together pretty quick once I figured out what I was doing - LOL!

Here is a closer look at my bottle...

I hope you liked my project today! Be sure to swing by The Cutting Cafe Blog later today and see what all of my fellow teamies created! They are such a talented group of ladies!

Have a great day all!
Laura

Sweetie Pie

Hi Stampers!

Well since I had my Cutting Cafe project done and shown yesterday...I thought I would just make something for fun today using one of my favorite stamps that I have had for a loooonnng time but have never inked up! Shame on me! Well I am using her now :)

This is the Cheeky Cherry Pie from the Cheeky Cherry Collection from The Greeting Farm. I colored her using mostly copics on her hair and skin. The apron and pie are spectrum noirs and her shoes are colored with the cherry cobbler Stampin Up! Marker. I paper pieced her dress and the pie plate to match the background papers which are from the Love Note paper pack from Fancy Pants Designs. Did you notice I tried sewing again? I tried a different stitch this time and decided to try cornering - LOL, I was a little off, but oh well...have to keep trying :)

The background circle that she is mounted on is stamped with the recipe stamp from the Spice Up Your Day stamp set from Gourmet Rubber Stamps. I stamped this using Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink. This is my absolute FAVORITE color combination too ... kraft, a cherry cobbler style red, chocolate chip, very vanilla! So pretty!

Here is a closer look...

I created this as my entry into the Yumi & Fumi challenge this week which was to case a card that they had on their blog! Hopefully I did it justice :)

If you love The Greeting Farm Stamps as much as I do... one of our Design Team members, Marcy Dangcil made their March Guest Design Team! She has been rocking out some STUNNING projects for their March Release! I am super proud of her and know that she will do amazing! I have seen her first two days of projects and WOW! They are gorgeous! When you get a chance... visit her blog and check them out!

Well I better get going - have to work at my other job from 3pm - 3am  - I would rather stay home and do crafty stuff though LOL!

Have a great day all!

My Favorite Things - Die-Namics Butterflies Die

Spellbinders - Scalloped Circles Die

Memento - Tuxedo Black Ink

This is the sweetest card EVER! When Wild Rose Studio first came out with the Bella Collection...this image was my super favorite! Marcy did a GORGEOUS job coloring Bella and her flowers! It matches the paper perfectly and it hard to tell that it is colored, it looks like it should be a printed piece! Her coloring skills absolutely blow me away! When I grow up I want to color like Marcy does - LOL! I love the sweet butterflies and the gorgeous flowers that she added as accents too!

Lydia Walker

Gourmet Rubber Stamps - Sealed With a Kiss

Wow! I love this! This is a simply beautiful clean and simple design that still packs a big WOW! Those long fishtails are stamped with sayings from this same set as well! I love the gold embossing on the edges of the main panel and the ribbon adds that classy, elegant touch!

Olivia Marmara

My Favorite Things - A La Modes Collection - Bundle of Baby

This is such a cute Welcome Baby card! I love these colors and Olivia paper pieced her Mom perfectly! I love the way that Olivia stamped the sentiment! That layout is perfect and the twine around the panel creates the perfect touch!

Holly Flores

La-La Land Crafts - Popsicle Marci

OMGosh this is so CUTE! This is one of the projects that Holly got to do when she took her class with Irina Blount. How lucky was Holly? THE LUCKIEST - LOL! This is such a pretty card with the soft summery colors and all of the accents. Holly's coloring on her image blows me away on this! Love all the dots on the hat and pants! That balloon die is gorgeous and is from La-La Land too! We will be adding their dies as a preorder soon!

Kelli Hull

Saturated Canary - Isabella

This is just gorgeous! I love the deep, rich colors that Kelli used to color her Isabella! That fun, funky feather is the coolest accent too! I love the design, a simple layout that really showcases the image! This totally makes me want to try and Cha-Cha but I would probably throw my back out - LOL!

The Cutting Cafe - Fall Projects

Hi Stampers!

Today I want to share my inspiration post for The Cutting Cafe. This week Regina gave us a choice of three different beautiful Fall sets to use on our project. We could choose the Acorn Shaped Card, Welcome Fall Printable Stamp Set, or the Autumn Days Printable Stamp Set.

I loved both of the printable stamp sets and couldn't decide which I wanted to use - so I made TWO projects - LOL - that way I didn't have to pick just one!

The first project I made is a Matchbook Treat Holder that I made to fit the Apple Cider Travel Sticks.

Here is the outside. I used the Autumn Days Printable Stamp set on this project. That gorgeous Fall Words background and the Apple Cider Circle Saying are just 2 of the 16 images that come in this set. The Apple Cider Mug is a stamp that I had from Gourmet Rubber Stamps that I thought would be perfect to use with the Apple Cider Word Circle. I colored my mug using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink Markers.

Here is a peek at the inside of the matchbook:

For my second project I totally loved the Apples and the Baskets in the Welcome Fall Printable Stamp Set and knew I wanted to create my own "basket" background to pop a pretty bushel of apples on.

To create my basket background I dug into my hoard of the long retired and my all time FAVORITE Stampin Up! cardstock... Creamy Caramel. I cut my cardstock into 1/2" strips and then ran them through my cuttlebug using a wood grain texture plate. I then sponged the tops with close to cocoa ink to make the wood grain pop, then sponged all the edges with early espresso to define them even more. I then created a weave with my strips and added brads to look like a basket edge. If you like to create your own backgrounds too...that is this week's challenge at our challenge blog so be sure and play :)

My basket and apples are colored with spectrum noir markers. I added white gel pen to my basket to make the stripes look like leather stitched trim, and added mini brads to the basket as well. I also added white gel pen highlights to my apples to make them appear shiny and used to my white pen to create the faux stitching on my gingham table cloth.

Here is a close up of the apples and basket:

This project is actually a little folder that opens up to hold two packets of apple cider mix. You could also put hot cocoa packets in there too, fits either one.

Here I stamped an image from the Flourishes Stamp Set - Apple of My Eye and then added the Simple Pleasures sentiment from The Cutting Cafe's - Autumn Days Set.

Well I hope you enjoyed my projects today! Here is one last look of both together :)

Be sure to stop by The Cutting Cafe's Blog on Wednesday to see all the projects the Design Team made with these beautiful sets! PLUS if you leave a comment on the post ... Regina draws one lucky person who will win their choice of 3 files from the store! Very cool!

Have a great night all & thanks for stopping by!

The River Bends

Good Morning Stampers!

It's Tuesday which means we have a brand new Loves Rubberstamps Blog Challenge! This week the challenge is a Color Challenge of - Black, Turquoise & Yellow AND to be inspired by this photograph from the House of Turquoise:

I think that are some pretty textures and patterns in this photo! Those chevrons are so dramatic! Here is my card.

I used two different stamps from Gourmet Rubber Stamps. The first one is a Lizzie Anne Design called Ship, the other is also a Lizzie Anne Design called The River Bends. I sponged my scene using the Tim Holtz Distress Inks that are the Spring 2012 Limited Edition colors of Peacock Feathers and Squeezed Lemonade. I also used some Daffodil Delight and More Mustard from Stampin Up! to define the sunset and sun. My yellow polka dot paper is from the Simple Stories 6x6 paper pack called Summer Fresh.  I sponged the edges of this with More Mustard also. My chevron embossing folder is also from Stampin Up! and I sponged more of the Peacock Feathers Ink on top to help define the chevrons. I think that this saying with this image would make a beautiful sympathy card, which are always the hardest to make, I think anyway. I have used my favorite technique of sponging scenes :)

For my layout I used this week's Sketch from Mojo Monday #254

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Mojo Monday - MOJO254 Week Sketch
Craft Punked - Beside the Seaside
Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Summer

Gettin' Fun & Funky on Friday!

Good Morning All!

Today I have a really fun and funky card created by design team member Meredith Winston!

Isn't this AWESOME? I adore all of the fun textures and shapes and the scrap-pieced feel of this gorgeous card! That lovely sentiment is from the Vintage Verses stamp set from Gourmet Rubber Stamps. This is a definate must have set because the sentiments can be used for so many occasions. You MUST visit Meredith's Blog - Paper Canteen Creations and see how she created that gorgeous black and blue textured background - VERY COOL technique and a sweet story behind it as well ;)

Hope your Friday is full of fun!
Happy Stampin!
Laura

A Gorgeous Opportunity

Good Morning!

It was a beautiful day this morning when I left for work! It is going to be a hot one today I have a feeling though. It was already 70 degrees but very humid and sticky feeling. I love the warm weather just not the humidity.

With the gorgeous weather we have been having it makes me want to get outside and toodle around on a bicycle. We have a gorgeous lake that has a 5 mile long walking or bicycle path around it...problem is I haven't rode a bike since I was about 12... LOL...so before I toodle around the lake I need to practice first or I would probably end up going swimming!

Today's card reminds me of a gorgeous summer day with the soft colors that design team member Meredith Winston used on her card. I love the papers that Meredith chose to accent her card with. The yellow polka dots, paired with a faded blue jean color and that beautiful pastel plaid in blues and yellows are so pretty together. The focal piece on Meredith's card is a verse from the Vintage Verses stamp set by Gourmet Rubber Stamps. I love this saying too... it is a great piece of advice that you need to sometimes be reminded of. Sometimes you have to create your own opportunities instead of waiting around for them to come to you. Pretty powerful! This stamp set is one of my super favs and can be used for so many occasions! It is a must have in my book :)

I also love Meredith's layers of texture and bling! It really makes the whole card pop and it is truely a stunning piece of art! Visit Meredith's Blog - Paper Canteen Creations to see all the details on this beauty!

I hope you enjoy your day and may it be full of many positive opportunities for you :)

Happy Stamping!

Laura

What? Me? Old? Naaaah!

Good Morning Stampers!

Hope you are having a wonderful day so far! Here the sun is shining...birds are chirping...and I have a gorgeous card to share with you today created by our design team member - Meredith Winston! Couldn't ask for anything better!

Isn't this gorgeous? I LOVE it! And see...If you have to grow old...you can just not grow up! Hee Hee! I love the stamp set that Meredith chose to use on her card today. It is called Vintage Verses from Gourmet Rubber Stamps and it is one of my favorite sets. I know... I know... I have LOTS of favorites :)  I love the floral accents that Meredith chose too, those pretty felt flowers are gorgeous...and she created them HERSELF with her die-namics rolled rose die...AWESOME!! We will be adding the die-namics dies and also some stamps from My favorite Things in the near future :)

I really admire Meredith's ability to create a card having a verse as the focal image. I seem to have a hard time with that because I always want to add a picture image with it :) Some verses, like this one, are perfect by themselves!

Take some time to visit Meredith's Blog - Paper Canteen Creations and read about how she created this beauty! One thing I love about Meredith is she has this wonderful ability to make every card unique and is also very versatile in the style she uses. It is always exciting to see her creations because you never know what she will wow you with next! 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!
Laura
