Here it is Open

Now you can see it opened up a little bit ~ the inside of the card is blank....

Backwards Fold Card

Ok, this is the last card with the new SU DSP I have been playing with for the last week. I just love it. For this card, I used the elephant from Whatever Floats your Boat. This is actually a Flap Card (that's what I call it anyways) the right side opens and on the inside there is a matted area where you can write your greeting. The flower holds the card shut. I colored in the elephant with WWC and my blender pen. The blue and white flowers are from Making Memories, the Green Felt Flower is from SU (Flower Fusion). I'll post another pic showing the inside next. :)

Sunday Blooms

Evening! 

I did a quick card tonight to share with you. As you can see I am still hooked on this new DSP from SU. 

Stamps: Eastern Blooms, Bella Blossoms

CS: Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, WW, Maine Blueberry DSP,

Ink: Old Olive & Not Quite Navy

Access: Stylized Silver HPH, Olive Twill Ribbon (retired), Not Quite Navy SU Brads

Catch ya'll tomorrow. I gotta pick up batteries for my camera so I can share more with you tomorrow night! 

Call me crazy, but this new DSP from Stampin Up reminds me of a girls sleepover, It's called Maine Blueberry....So I pulled out Melanie's Little Tees set tonight (by Gina K Designs). and came up with this...The colors are Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, and Bashful Blue. I really love this color combo. I stamped the T on some of the DSP, cut it out, and then stamped the sentiment in Not Quite Navy. I then stamped the bottom half of the T on some coordinating DSP from the same package, and then hand drew in the lines to create the shorts. I used the crop-a-dile to make the hole for the ribbon. I wanted to get the hole in further, but that's as far as it would go (maybe I need the new crop-a-dile???) 

Thanks for looking! Have a good night!

So I am passionate about a few things in life, and I have combined two of them together (Stamping and the Wisconsin Badgers) into one card. I made this card using Little Tees (Gina K Designs). The image on the T I pulled off a website, saved it as a .jpg image, sized it up in PrintShop2, and then printed it off on WW cardstock. I then stamped the tee over the image. (had to try this a few times to get it lined up just right). I stamped the "I love" part and then cut the T out and popped it up with dimensionals. The red bling on the border is from Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).  The Bucky Badger DP I picked up at a LSS here in town. 

Can you tell I am ready for football season? The Badgers open August 30th! Go BUCKY!

Another Sketch,,,

Here is another sketch I did for the Verve 1st Anniversary. Again, I used SU True Friend. This was a pretty simple sketch. I am really loving the new SU Scallop Punch. The base paper is Pink Pirouette which is a new SU color for 2008/2009. 

Tomorrow I will have a new Little Tee card, and it's related to another favorite hobby of mine...

A Flower for a Friend

Mom and I were looking at the new SU catalog today and I came across this set (True Friend) and realized I had not inked it up for awhile. So I came up with this tonight using one of the Verve Visual 1st Anniversary Sketches (AVS01).  I used some of my new Bella Rose DSP from SU as well. This was a fun sketch to play with! 

Stamps: True Friend

CS: Pink Pirouette, Choc Chip, WW, Bella Rose DSP

Ink: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive

Access: Silver HPH, Olive Twill Ribbon, Button Bouquet

Hello! 

Wanted to post my card for this week's sketch challenge on SCS. I flipped the sketch to make the card horizontal. The Image is from Gina K (Whatever Floats Your Boat). It's an adorable set! I colored in the image using just SU Inkpads and a SU Blender Pen. The DSP is Jersey Shore (Retired SU as of tomorrow). I ordered another full pack of this DSP so I would not run out anytime soon (I love it!) .

I had a really nice evening! Went to the Brewers game with an old friend. The Brewers won 5-0!  Made really good time getting home as well, as the game was under 2.5 hours! :-)

Here it is!!!

Alrighty then! Now we are talkin'! LOL! So here is the little mini coaster album I created tonight - inside there are 4 pieces of Kiwi Kiss card-stock. The stamp set is of course "Little Tees" (Gina K Designs) And I used the new Bella Rose DSP from Stampin Up! The T-shirt was stamped on the DSP and then I cut it out. I popped it up with dimensionals....So whaddya think? 

Issues...

I'm having problems uploading any pictures tonight to blogger, which mean's it must be just too DARN CUTE! I'll try it again tomorrow. I made the cutest Coaster Album using the Little Tees set.....Got so happy about it and now I can't share it tonight.....

If you can't wait to see it here, It's loaded into my SCS Gallery

I'll try to put it on here tomorrow night!

sc179 Happy Thoughts

For this week's limited supply challenge, we were supposed to make a card that would make someone happy. I hope this fits the bill, because I am loving how it turned out. This is the first time took my Prismacolor Marker Coloring seriously. They have a really good beginner video on their website. The stamp set is called "Flowers For Daisy" designed by Asela Hopkins for Gina K Designs. For a limited time, a portion of the sales for this set will be donated to the American Cancer Society in honor of Asela's friend Daisy who is fighting a courageous battle with cancer. It's a really beautiful set. I can't wait to play with it some more.
