Circles!

 

Circles, circles and more circles!  This card has quite a few and it ties in with the Late Night Stampers challenge starting today.  Don't forget to check out all the design team samples and play along - the challenge runs for 2 weeks so you will have a little time :)

 

For my sample, I tied together a couple different stamp sets and lots of circle punches.  The Kinda Eclectic image is stamped in Mossy Meadow and the sentiment from Blue Ribbon in Marina Mist.

 

The 1/2" circles that I punched from the piece of Mossy Meadow on the front were attached to the inside of the card.

 

Supplies:

Kinda Eclectic, Blue Ribbon

Very Vanilla, Marina Mist, Mossy Meadow card stock

Mossy Meadow, Marina Mist ink

1/2", 1 1/4", 1 3/8", 1 3/4" and 2" circle punches

 

 

Blue Ribbon Birthday

I was going for a masculine and fairly simple birthday card with this one - I say fairly since I cut out the blue ribbon...  Midnight Muse will be missed when it retires, I paired it with Crumb Cake for this one and I really like the two colors together.

 



 

Supplies:

Blue Ribbon

Tape It

Off the Grid

Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake ink

Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake and Whisper White card stock

Great Sport Birthday

Today is my dad's birthday and while I won't give him this card, he would probably like it anyway since he loves sports! 

 

There is a combination of Great Sport and Blue Ribbon stamp sets on this card with some added sequin trim and retro fresh washi tape.

 



 

I took apart some of the sequin trim and added a few of the sequins randomly with liquid Tombow. 

 

Supplies:

Great Sport

Blue Ribbon

Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie ink

Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, White White card stock

sequin trim

1 3/8" circle punch

Blue Ribbon

 

I was at one of my semi annual scrapbooking weekends last week and decided to only work on scrapbook pages, no cards this time.  This is one of the pages I made for the boys.

 

It was quick and simple, the way I like my pages!  I used the In Color dsp stack (2012-2014) over some Whisper White card stock and added a Blue Ribbon stamped from the Blue Ribbon Stamp set.

 

Supplies:

Blue Ribbon

Midnight Muse ink

Marina Mist, Whisper White card stock

In Color dsp stack 2012-2014

Play Ball with Thinlits

 

The new Thinlits are so much fun to play with and have so many possibilities!  For these cards I went with a boyish birthday there and used the Gorgeous Grunge, Bring on the Cake, Great Sport and Blue Ribbon stamp sets.

 

On each one, I added a scallop circle to both sides of the portion that flips and either a baseball or a Happy Birthday.

 

On one card, I added some brights Candy Dots as well.

 

Supplies:

Great Sport

Blue Ribbon

Wedding Shower Gift

 

One of our nieces is getting married this week and for her bridal shower, I gave her a

6 x 6 recipe scrapbook.  I thought I would share some of the pages (I forgot to take pictures and pulled her gift out of the bag at the shower before she arrived to take a couple, LOL!).

 

I used Off the Grid and Really Good Greetings for the background on this one and My Digital Studio for the recipe layer.

 

This one used a retired stamp set, texture plates and ribbon with the recipe printed from Word.

 

And the last three are all hybrid pages using My Digital Studio to print the recipe layer of the page.  The one above uses the Six Sided Sampler stamp set and below I used some I Am Me designer series paper.

 

Finally, I used some Modern Medley designer series paper and the Blue Ribbon stamp set.

Non Winning Artisan Project #3

 

Stampin' Up! encouraged us to use My Digital Studio on some of our Artisan Award entries again and I am comfortable doing that with my scrapbook pages, but not so much with the cards.  I forced myself to do a hybrid though and this is one that I just didn't love when it was time to send it off.

 

I added some texture with the Chevron folder, a button and some designer brads.

 

And on the inside made a pocket for a gift card and added some more digital splatter.

 

Supplies:

My Digital Studio

Blue Ribbon

Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White card stock

Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry ink and digital ink

Neutrals designer buttons

In color designer brads

Chevron folder

Scallop dots Melon Mambo ribbon

 

Great Sport

 

A little while ago I made some fun boy birthday cards with the Great Sport and Blue Ribbon stamp sets. 

 

 

I used some Polka Dot Parade dsp for this one and added some brads to the sides. 

 

I added a few baseballs to the inside of the card and also the envelope.

 

After that, I made some similar ones with the basketball stamp and the Wacky Wishes birthday greeting.  The designer paper on the cards below is from Parker's Patterns.

 

Hope you enjoyed these quick and fun cards!

Congrats Grad

 

I have been working on some Graduation cards lately and thought I would share this one as part of our Late Night Stampers challenge of Celebration Projects.

 

 

I used the Blue Ribbon stamp set stamped the ribbon with Not Quite Navy and cut it out.  Then, I punched a circle from Silver Glimmer paper and a smaller one from Very Vanilla with the sentiment inside and layered them.

 

The designer series paper is from Be of Good Cheer and I added some Basic Gray textured card stock in the background.

 

Supplies:

Blue Ribbon

Not Quite Navy, Cherry Cobbler classic ink

Very vanilla, Basic gray, Cherry cobbler card stock

Silver glimmer paper

Honeycomb folder

1 1/4" circle punch

1" circle punch

dimensionals

Seriously!

 

Well, I sat down with my April Paper Pumpkin kit and played a little today.  I still have two cards left to make, I am just not sure of the direction I want to go with them yet :)

 

 

For the first one, I used the Blue Ribbon stamp set and made it a graduation card.  Other than the two circles and graduation sentiment, I didn't use anything extra other than what came in the box.

 

On the second one, I went with a thank you, using the sentiment from Wacky Wishes.  I again only used what was in the box except for the stamped sentiment and some sponging.

 

I love the pattern on the card base and also the bottom layer!
