Sassy Charlotte

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Jennifer

Apparently stamping with Lori put me in a stamping mood. I started working on this card last night and finished it up during the girls’ naptime today. The image is Sassy Charlotte for the Sassy Studio Designs Sassy in the City Relay which also required it to be a friendship card. I was inspired by the two DT members who had paper pieced her dress. The Pink Elephant Challenge #154, which is a sketch, had perfect timing debuting today while I was browsing for composition ideas. I’m also submitting this card for Phindy’s Place Challenge #111 to use gingham or plaid.

May Sketch for You to Try

Posted on May 31, 2012 by Jennifer

This month I had great intentions of playing with the May Sketch for You to Try early on in the month; however, I didn’t finish up the card until today. I decided to make a baby card. I wanted it to be gender neutral. I’m also entering this in the Simon Says Challenge this week, which is “anything goes.”

World Card Making Day

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Jennifer

Happy World Card Making Day! Did you make a card today? I did and hopefully I’ll make another one later tonight as I need to come up with one for the Lonestar Shoebox Swap I’m doing with my friend Lori next Saturday.

This card is for my dear friend Kristy. Her birthday isn’t until next Saturday, but we celebrated at dinner tonight. I used the sketch for Just Us Girls Challenge #104. And actually because I liked the sketch so much and the blossom I made ended up being so big, this card is actually 5.5×8.5 instead of the traditional A2 or 4.25×5.5 card. I used dimensionals under the center of each petal to make it three dimensional.

Kristy's Birthday Card

Stamps: Stampin’ Up Build a Blossom, On Your Birthday
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Patterned Paper: Stampin’ Up Sweet Pea
Ink: Stampin’ Up Real Red; Stazon Jet Black
Embellishments: Stampin’ Up 5/8-in black grosgrain ribbon; The Twinery Maraschino twine; Papertrey Ink Holiday Mix Vintage button
Tools: Stampin’ Up blossoms petals punch, scallop border punch, eyelet border punch

Have a fabulous day!

Teacher Cards

Posted on August 27, 2011 by Jennifer

Jessica starts Mother’s Day Out at Abiding Love Lutheran Church on Tuesday, so I wanted to make each of the two teachers a card for the first day of class. I started these cards at Lori’s on Sunday, but finished them up Thursday after going to the MDO’s Open House and meeting Jessica’s teachers. I had wanted to add glossy accents to the apples, but alas I haven’t unearthed it from my boxes of craft supplies that I’ve already unpacked from moving.

I used Jen del Muro’s August Sketch for You to Try, which was so fun.

Thank You Berry Much

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Jennifer

Yesterday afternoon, I went over to my friend Lori‘s to stamp. We try to get together once a month or so. I worked on three cards while there and will share one of them today. I need to add some finishing touches to the other two before I can share them. I actually added the finishing touch, the strawberry embellishment, to this card today. I made the strawberry embellishment out of some red felt and black and green embroidery floss. I wish I had some green felt to use for the leaves instead of the floss, but alas I did not. I think I might have made it a tad big, but oh well.

The sketch is The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #122, which also added a spin of fabulous fibers. I think my felt strawberry counts as fabulous fibers. I’m also entering this card in the Hambo Hoedown Challenge #29 to use scoring. I scored the blue circle panel with a graph paper like look; although the cross scores are faint in the picture. In addition, there is the Simon Says Stamp Challenge to make a food & drink creation, which I think strawberries count as edible, except to maybe those poor people who are allergic to strawberries. One last challenge: Stamp Something‘s challenge this week is something to say thank you.

Thank You 'Berry' Much! Card
