Make a Wish

The card I have to share with you today has very little stamping on it and uses mainly pieces from the Hello Lovely Project Life Accessory Pack. 

The green die cut piece, which was already that way in the kit, has a layer of Serene Scenery designer series paper behind it and it is also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I stamped a dotted line below all my elements using the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set and Pool Party ink. 

I love the Project Life kits and don't always use them for their intended purpose (which is ok!) and love it when I can put together a card quickly with some great texture and dimension like this one using a kit or two.

Supplies:

Perfectly Wrapped

Pool Party ink

Whisper White card stock

Friendship

It looks like I was just in a Serene Scenery designer series paper mode on this week's projects!  I have again used it as a background on my cards featured the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  I promise to move on to something else soon!!!

There are two versions of the same card, the only difference is the background paper.  I chose to use Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze for my leaves and Soft Suede for my tree. 

There is nothing fancy about the card but I have had lots of people say they like it a lot, the stamp set is a favorite of many of my friends and customers...

Love You

This card uses scraps again and if you follow my blog you will notice that I used another piece of this same pattern of designer series paper recently on another card.  Sometimes I use all the scraps from a piece of designer paper at one sitting and that happened this time...

My background is Tip Top Taupe card stock that was embossed with the Festive folder and then I added my scrap of designer series paper to the top of it. 

A few strips of lace trim tied up with some linen thread, my sentiment and die cut complete the card.

Friendly Wishes

In My Thoughts

I have two different takes on the same sentiment for you today.  Each card uses the same two stamp sets - Rose Wonder and Kinda Eclectic. 

For the first one, I added a piece of Serene Scenery designer series paper to the middle of my card base and added Early Espresso on either side of it that is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Then I added a strip of Delightful Dijon card stock, burlap ribbon and my sentiment layer.

The second card showcases some By the Shore designer series paper and some randomly stamped leaves in the background.

I chose some Tip Top Taupe mini striped ribbon.

Supplies:

Rose Wonder, Kinda Eclectic

Early Espresso, wild Wasabi ink

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Night of Navy, Delightful Dijon card stock

Life Together

I was playing with a couple different backgrounds on this wedding card that are fairly similar but one is stamped and the other is designer series paper.  I chose the hardwood stamp for one, using Crumb Cake ink on the same color card stock before I stamped the flourish image with Early Espresso.

On the other card, I used Serene Scenery designer series paper as the background for the flourish.  Both cards use a sentiment from Better Together.

Supplies:

Early Espresso, Crumb Cake ink

I mixed up some different designer series paper packs on this card, I chose the Presents and Pinecones collection for the piece on top of the textured Early Espresso and the Serene Scenery collection for my focal piece.

For the texture on the Early Espresso layer, I chose the Lovely Lace folder.

My Freshman

While I am sharing all of the kids school picture scrapbook pages this week, there isn't' a huge difference in them, but I thought I would share them all anyway.  Today is my oldest son's page.  I chose a Delightful Dijon background and used some Serene Scenery designer series paper and the same Project Life collection - Moments like These...

The number is again cut out with the Large Numbers framelits...

Simple Thanks

This time of year, more often than not my projects that I share with you can be made fairly quickly since I am usually either just finishing harvest or cleaning up the harvesting equipment about now.  Unfortunately this year we are barely making a dent in the harvest at this point so there may be some days I miss posting too. 

I chose the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set for this card as well as the Hardwood large stamp for the background.  There is a layer of Old Olive card stock with some Serene Scenery designer series paper over the top of the hardwood image and I added a little burlap ribbon for texture.

Supplies:

Perfectly Wrapped, Hardwood

Old Olive ink

Old Olive, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Crumb Cake card stock

Always Thinking of You

The stamp set used on the card I am sharing with you today is one of the hostess sets in the Idea book and Catalog that you can earn free!  I paired it with the Playful backgrounds stamp set and some Serene Scenery designer series paper for a card with lots of layers.

I stamped an image from Playful backgrounds with Basic Gray ink on Smoky Slate card stock and added a strip of Serene Scenery dsp to the top of it and also behind it on the card base.  Then I attached my sentiment layers - the "always" was cut out with a scissors and added some basic rhinestones to complete it.

Supplies:

Time of Year, Playful Backgrounds

Basic Gray, Delightful Dijon ink

Smoky Slate, Watermelon Wonder card stock

Get Well

Recently one of our nephews was hurt playing football and I wanted to send him a card to let him know we are thinking about him as he heals.  My daughter had the same idea and made one of her own for him and we sent them together.

I chose to use the Get Well Soup stamp set and stamped the image on some Serene Scenery designer series paper as well as on a piece of Pool Party card stock.  I cut out the cup stamped on the designer series paper and added it to the card stock.

Another piece of designer series paper went behind the Pool Party card stock and I also stamped some images on the card base with the Playful Background stamp set.

My "soup" was colored in with the Wink of Stella glitter brush although in the photographs that is difficult to see.

Supplies:

Get Well Soup, Playful Backgrounds

Basic Gray, Basic Black ink

Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray card stock

You Light Up My Life

I wanted to make a card using the little lightning bugs in the Jar of Love stamp set and thought that his designer series paper pattern from Serene Scenery would work pretty well.  It turns out that I also used two other patterns from that designer series paper collection on the care, one piece behind the main one and another to stamp my jar on.

I added a little piece of burlap ribbon around part of the layers as well.

Supplies:

Jar of Love

Basic Black ink

Crumb Cake card stock

Helping Me Grow

Today I have not one, but two cards to share with you!  They both use the same stamp set - Helping Me Grow but have different looks.  One of them was used as a birthday card for my mom recently because she likes daisies.

I stamped the flower image on a piece of Whisper White that was embossed with the Brick Wall folder and then added a little color with markers.  I tore the edge of the card stock and added some Blooms and Bliss designer series paper behind it before matting that piece on some Dapper Denim card stock.

For the second card, I did the stamping and coloring the same, but I stamped it on a piece of Serene Scenery designer series paper and added some little accents to the corner of the card base along with some lace trim.

Supplies:

Helping Me Grow

Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive ink

Dapper Denim, Whisper White, Soft Sky card stock

Give Thanks

I have another altered craft store find to share with you today.  I found a 5 pack of these wooden pieces, they are about 8 1/2" x 11" in the clearance section and knew I could find some fun things to do with them. In fact two of my nieces and my daughter made their own versions of this project too!

I started off using the Timeless Textures stamp set and randomly stamping the images in different colors - Soft Suede, Pool Party, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand...then I added some denim paint that I had left over from some other projects just kind of brushing it in random spots. 

I added some lace trim and burlap ribbon to the bottom and the started with my layers.  There is some Smoky Slate card stock embossed with the Cable Knit folder, Serene Scenery designer series paper and some chicken wire that I cut into about a 6" x 4" piece.

My sentiment is from the Suite Seasons stamp set, a very versatile holiday greeting set in the Holiday catalog. 

I also used a couple retired Stampin' Up! items, I always love the little flowers and have many of them left over to play with now and then!

Timeless Textures, Suite Seasons

Soft Suede, Pool Party, Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Dapper Denim, Delightful Dijon ink

To You

Today's card uses colors I don't pick out of my stash all that often lately.  I know that once I work on Christmas projects the Cherry Cobbler will be a common color for me to grab, but right now it is kind of in the back of the box.  Delightful Dijon is another one I don't grab for often, but I like the two colors together and thought I would create a card with them.

The Perfectly Wrapped stamp set was used on the card base as well as the circle and sentiment.  I also added a die cut from the Sunshine Wishes collection and some burlap ribbon (I just love that stuff even though it leaves burlap lint everywhere!).

Supplies:

Perfectly Wrapped

Delightful Dijon, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler ink

Whisper White, Basic Black, Delightful Dijon, Cherry Cobbler card stock

New Permit

I have another sneak peek item for you today in the layout below.  I used a piece of the Halloween Night specialty designer series paper as my page base - there are several designs that do not have to be used for Halloween as you can see...

I added some images from Playful Backgrounds behind my layers with Old Olive ink and then added some patterns from the Serene Scenery designer series paper pack before adding my picture. 

The little arrows were stamped using a retired Project Life stamp set and I added some epoxy stars leftover from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

My title comes from the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set and I used some circle punches for part of it as well.

The white threads are thick baker's twine that was taken apart.

Supplies:

Playful Backgrounds, Perfectly Wrapped

Old Olive, Delightful Dijon ink
