Simple Traveler - Stampin' Up!

Today I have a CAS card for you that was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #227.   I knew when I saw the squares exactly what technique I wanted to do.  I just had to figure out what stamps I wanted to use.  


Since I'm short on masculine cards right now I used the set Traveler and just two colors...Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  Easy, right? :)




I stamped the ship first, then the train and added the tiny "happy birthday" just above the smoke coming out of the train. I used the honeycomb embossing folder on the strip of Soft Suede that's on the side of the card.  


A close up showing that I popped the train piece so it didn't look funny overlapping the other square piece.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

For the Two of You

I have another card for you today using Try Stampin' or not on Tuesday's sketch challenge.  I needed a clean and simple bridal shower card and figured these colorful butterflies would do the trick...at least I hope they will! 



Here is the sketch and a couple more pics of my CAS card.  Make sure you stop by Try Stampin's blog HERE to check out the other great cards made using this sketch and to play along too.  We'd love to see what you create. :)

Clean and Simple Birthday with 2015-2017 In Colors

Today I have a very clean and simple card for you using this week's sketch from Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday using the new 2015-2017 In colors from Stampin' Up!  I never know if I'm going to like the next set of In Colors when I first see them and that was definitely the case with this group...I was pretty skeptical, but thought I'd better get them out and try them before I judged them too harshly.  Well I ended up really liking them so I can't complain! lol


Here's this week's sketch from Try Stampin' and I love it!  I just really like the sketches we have over there.  They are usually pretty simple, but help me create a lot of cards that I end up loving. :)  Head over to their blog HERE to see all the other great cards by the team's designers and play along with us too.  We'd love to see what you create!




Just a couple more pics to check out...

Your Kindness...

It's been a while since I've posted so I figured I'd better get another card up!  I don't know what's up with me this week, but I've been very lax in my stamping!  I think I just need a break every once in a while and will be ready soon enough. :)  This is one of the cards I had the ladies make at last month's stamp a stack.  It was fun to see how each one turned out a little differently because of the way they put the swirls on.


 I think this card was the hardest of the bunch, but only because they needed to remember what colors to use on which stamp and when to stamp off so the color wasn't too dark on the flowers.  They all really liked the card though. :)




Yup another picture.  I like seeing more than one pic of a card so I throw in a few myself.



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Walk in the Wild ~ Masculine Birthday

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. :(  I've been sitting here this morning before heading into work going through pics of cards that I have that I haven't posted yet.  I have to say there are a few out there.  A lot of them were inspired by other cards that I've seen out there and a few are some pretty close cases.  I'll have to start posting them in the next few weeks in between the new cards I make. :)  

Anyway today I have a clean and simple masculine card to show you that's inspired by this week's sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  Love the sketches they've had lately.  Something about them just helps me be creative.  Even though this one is simple I still love it. :)



Just a little peek inside. ;)

Elegant Ornamental Pine

Wow, is it Friday already?  Where did this week go?!  I've been gone almost every evening, so I know that makes time go by faster.  Luckily I made sure I had enough time to create a pretty clean and simple card for this week's Friday Mashup from Lynda.  This is her mashup for the week... 

Create a project using "Silver or Gold". 
Create a "Christmas Project". 
or Mash it Up! and create a "Christmas-themed Project with Silver or Gold".

I decided to go with gold on my Christmas card.  It was definitely a quick card to make and I love, love, love that since it usually takes me a while to come up with something I like.  Not this time around! :)


Make sure you stop by the Friday Mashup HERE to see other the other great cards and projects the ladies created this week and to play along too. :)



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Freshly Made Flower Shop

Today I'm playing with Freshly Made Sketches for the first time.  I've been following them for a couple of weeks and thought it was time I played along.  I finally bought the Flower Shop stamp set after having the punch for quite a while.  It kind of reminds me of the flower I use so much from the Fabulous Florets set except I don't have to cut these flowers out!   This card went together pretty fast! :)

Hello My Friend

Today's card is a clean and simple one-layer card for this week's Paper Players challenge, and let me tell you a one-layer card is definitely a challenge for me!  I had no idea what to do so I pulled out a set that I haven't played with for a while...My Friend.  It turned out better than I thought it would, and I was happy when I only had to color everything in one time! :)

Clean and Simple Floral Fusion

Today's card is going to be a quick post since I decided at the LAST minute to enter a couple of sketch challenges and one is closing soon! lol  I chose the Paper Craft Crew for my sketch and the Paper Players for my colors.  I wanted to keep it pretty clean and simple when I saw what the colors were and knew I could do it with this sketch.  However I know my daughter is going to tell me it's too white when I show it to her the next time she visits. ;)
