More One Sheet Wonder samples ...

Hi Stampers:

Here are  more samples from that  one sheet wonder  I  shared with you  yesterday ..

Have a Fabulous  Wednesday  I will see you  all again tomorrow with a New video .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

One Sheet Wonder...

Hi Stampers:

A while ago I made  some cards from 1 piece of whisper white card stock and Here are a couple of those cards I made .

 I love the One Sheet Wonder.

 All you need to do is  pick a stamp set,  in my case I used Simple friendship  stamp set # 113397

 Then stamp the whole piece of whisper white  so there is very little  white  showing . Then  start cutting  your  cardstock and layering onto  your base card stock.

There  are  alot of  templates out there  for the one sheet wonder,

  But I mainly  cut all my cardstock  to 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"  then I started  cutting  the OSW from those  pieces.

 Nothing  goes to waste since all the pieces  are used  to make  beautiful cards like these 2  I will share more  of my  designs  later .

For my cards  today I used Regal Rose and  Close to Cocoa, Creamy  Caramel & Whisper White Card stock  . a really  quick way  to get lots of  cards  from 1 piece of  8 1/2 " X 11  whisper white cardstock ~  Get even more cards  with the  12" X 12"  Whisper White #106529 

Then why not make  this  really  cute card holder box HERE   to hold all your  OSW cards . Makes a really  cute  gift  for anyone .

Have a Fabulous Tuesday  and I will see you all tomorrow

Until then .. Happy Stampin!

Taken with Teal Christmas ...

Hi Stampers:

Todays  Christmas card  has  very little stamping  But I just love this card .

The brand new Holiday Lounge designer paper #115676 is sooo Gorgeous  I  thought I would use  that  for my  main image on my  card  today.

I used the brand new Woodgrain Background  stamp#117100  with Taken with Teal ink#103257  and  also the Heard from the heart stamp set #111644 was used  for my greeting . 

I  added some paper piercing holes  to my Designer paper  and also some dazzling  diamonds # 102023 and lets not  forget the white gel pen also #105021 .

The  ribbon on my card today  is the whisper white Organza ribbon # 116319.

Just a very simple Christmas card  for you  today .

This weekend was  very productive  I got 6 videos made  for  the next  2 weeks  I  still need to make 3 more , started making my swaps  for convention OH MY GOODNESS  wait  till you  see what I am swapping this year . Can you say LOVE IT!!  Dont worry I have  videos  coming on them  stay tuned  :)

This weekend we also  got in touch with Jessie's  photographer we want  for her Senior pics which will be  taken  towards the end of Aug . So between  now &  then  She wants  to  color her hair back to a darker brown . 

Jessie  & I also  hit the mall this weekend  for  some shopping. That  was really  fun to hang out  with  Jess .By the way  If you want  candid thoughts  when  shopping  for new  clothes take  your  daughter :)  The  good news is that I trust my daughters  opinon  and Thankful that she  doesn't want me  to look  funny :)

Have a Fabulous Monday & Thanks  for stopping in.

Shaker card ...

Hi Stampers :

Todays card  is  something I haven't  done in along time  It's a Shaker  card .

I have  a  video  coming  soon ~ Just not  sure  when  exactly ~ But  soon .

I just love making  Shaker  cards  But  the  best part is giving them away  and seeing them play with it.

I used  the New In color Dusty Durango card stock #115321  again for my  card today But  this time I paired it up with Only Orange card stock #102824 .

One really awesome thing  about  the new IN colors is that they go so  Great with  so many of our fabulous 48 base colors~ Love it ! 

**You can click on card to enlarge  your viewing and see those tiny  micro beads.**

I used the Gallery Stamp set # 113776 for  the frame part of my shaker card and inside  of my shaker card I used the  Micro beads #104266 and behind  this tiny  beads I stamped the  tiny  butterflies  from the Sprinkles stamp set # 115076

The  greeting  is from the stamp set called On your Birthday # 111664.

Thanks  for stopping in during your busy day . I have a new video  for you  all tomorrow :)

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Yee Haw & Merry Christmas

Hi Stampers:

My Christmas card this week  is very unique & Not my typical color Combo  for Christmas, But when I  seen this  stamp set called Yippee Kiyay Holiday #114369  

This image  reminds  me of the Southwest  so I thought  the new IN colors  would  bring the Southwest Chritsmas  theme  together~  What do you think ?

The background  I made for  my  card is very  easy.

 Dusty Durango cut at 4" X 5" . Then I  scored  every 1" and  turned  and scored  every 1" again to create the Grid  then I added  1/4" circle punch outs  where  all the  cross lines meet..  I then took my  sponge # 101610  with Dusty Durango  In color  classic ink #115654 and sponged lightly over top of the background

Colors I used are:

Dusty Durango card stock #115321

Bermuda bay card stock #115317

Crushed Curry card stock #115319

Soft Suede card stock #115318 

Then I colored in my image  with  all the  In color markers #116329 of the same  colors .

Have a  Terrific Tuesday Stampers and Thanks  so much for peeking in.

Until later.. Happy Stampin !

Hello Earthling...

Hi Stampers:

 Here is another sample using the Greeting Earthling stamp set #113810

Remember this one HERE ?

I totally forgot to share this one when I posted that previous  one.

This one I used Bermuda Bay textured card stock#115719 & Pixie pink #105121 card stock  and added a strip of Bermuda Bay Polka Dot ribbon #115610.

 The Coolest part was that I was able  to use the  Bermuda Bay In color marker#116329  to color in the belly & dots on my alien.

Out of the  Blue My printer  just stopped working  the other day~  so I went out  and  got me a new printer   But  the amazing part of this story is that I hooked it  up  all by myself  and It is  working GREAT! 

Would have been  so much better if Hubby were here  to hook it  up instead of me  But I  couldn't wait  to Aug. Hubby is  very proud of me too ..  and  you  all really  really  would be too if  you knew how I am  with computer  stuff :)    

Have a Marvelous Monday  !

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

MY Bad...

Hi Stampers :

Oh my goodness this card cracks me  up so much  If Only  I had time  to share a  story with you  about my Father- In- law  & Jody .  Anywho ...

When I stamped  this card  I really  started  out  with  NO direction  at all, Just knew I wanted  to use the  Bold Bright colors  with the  Greetings Earthling stamp set#113810 and some how  work the cute bubble  from the  Crazy Cool stamp set # 115211 into my  finished card & that saying MY bad is what had me cracking up the  entire time I  created  my  card and doesn't that  critter  look like he  really is saying that  with his  Big  wide eyes  and  crooked  mouth~  What a HOOT!  .

 When I was  putting  my  card  together I thought it would fun to see  what it would look like If I  dragged my White gel pen# 105021 along the  edges  on the  center layers .. So if you  are  wondering How I did that ~ thats How  stampers ..

Such a  super  easy  thing to do to  make the edges pop  alittle more . Plus the black card  stock always helps HUH?

I also used the black Marker#100082 to doodle  some lines around those cute critters ( Just love those doodles ~ But  you all know that HUH? wink! wink ! )

The Happy belated birthday  greeting is  from the On your  Birthday stamp set # 111664 I then layered that on to the  Modern label Punch #1146630

Have a Fabulous Tuesday ~ I will see you  all again tomorrow .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!
