Frogadelic Card

Yes - I know that isn't a word, but I just had to use it! :) This card was also made for the Card Party. This one will actually be on time though (my last one with the duck is late). I again used the same patterned paper and color scheme like the last card. I probably would never have put Taken with Teal and Old Olive together, but they look good - helps having the patterned paper with similar colors too.

This card uses another sketch. This is MJ's Monday Lunchtime Sketch 30, which can be found on her blog Techno Stamper. There are so many sketches out there that I love to see all the different ones and use them to get me started on my projects. The froggies were colored in with Copics - Golden Yellow Y17 and Yellow Green YG03. I added white dots inside of the flowers on the patterned paper and around the edge of the card base.

I used the Pond Pals set from SweetNSassy Stamps again. There is a reason to my madness. There is a contest on the SNS yahoo group for posting the most projects using SNS stamps in the month of August. Hope you don't get sick of seeing Pond Pals, since that is the only set I own. :) I do have a couple stamped images of another SNS set from Wendy. I also participated in an image swap through the group. So, when I get them - if it's within time of the contest, then I'll use them too.

Supplies:
Sets: Pond Pals (SweetNSassy Stamps)
CS: Taken with Teal, Old Olive, WW, Patterned Paper
Ink: Palette Noir
Other: Copic Markers, Stampin' Dimensionals, Ribbon (from my stash), White Signo Gel Pen

Thanks for stopping by tonight - this is my last post (promise)!!

Lucky Duck

This was made for a Card Party for a group I belong to. A card party works like this - a group of people sign up. Then each week one person is showered with cards from the others. This continues on until all of those signed up have had their turn at being showered and pampered with cards.

I used the Pond Pals set from SweetNSassy Stamps. This is the only set I own right now, but there are quite a few others on my ever growing wish list. I colored my duck in with my Copic Caio markers. The colors used are Golden Yellow Y17, Frost Blue B00, Cadmium Orange YR07. I also used the Frost Blue Copic to 'ground' my duck - kind of like a puddle.

I used a sketch (SC187) from SCS for this card. You can find this sketch here and then check out all the other sketches. These are great to help jumpstart you if you are needing a starting point. I really liked how this card turned out. The patterned paper is from the Target $1 spot and is so fun! I added a bit of glitz to the dragonfly's wings and trail with a Sakura Glitter Pen. I also sponged the main image with Taken with Teal ink.

Supplies:
Sets: Pond Pals (SweetNSassy Stamps)
CS: Yoyo Yellow, Taken with Teal, Old Olive, WW, Patterned Paper
Ink: Palette Noir, Taken with Teal
Other: Copic Markers, Stampin Dimensionals, Sakura Glitter Pen, Dew Drops, Stamping Sponge

Hoppy Day - Pond Pals

I'm overdue on an exchange for a group I belong to. This is part of my gift to my exchange partner. I'm filling it with her favorite candy. I stamped some of the images directly on the patterned paper. The other images were stamped on white cardstock and cut out. They were then pop dotted onto the container. BTW - this a Crystal Light container that I altered.
I colored the images in with my Copic Ciao markers. I included the markers in the picture above, but since you can't tell real well - I'll post them as well. Copic marker colors - Sepia E37, Yellow Green YG03, Baby Skin Pink E21, Emerald Green G05, Golden Yellow Y17.

This is the top of the container. I pop dotted the frog on top of a scalloped green circle - kind of like a lily pad. :) This is also for the Belli Challenge (CBC28), which was to alter a container. You can find the Belli Challenges here - Creating with Chrissy.

Supplies:
Sets: Pond Pals (SweetNSassy Stamps)
CS: Patterned Paper, WW, Garden Green
Ink: Palette Noir
Other: Scallop Circle Punch (SU), Stampin Dimensionals, Copic Markers, Crystal Light container

Thanks for stopping by - hope you enjoyed this little project!!

Sympathy Swap

Sorry it's been so long since I've last posted. Tonight though, I've got a couple things to post. :) This summer has been super busy for me!! I'll be glad to get a break and have time to do more stamping!!

I made this card for a swap on a group I belong to (Utah Divas International - UDI). It was a Sympathy card swap. I don't make Sympathy cards usually because I don't think to make them, until I need them. So, this was a good swap to participate in. Unfortunately, I already had to mail this card off to my best friend, Rachel. Her father passed away and so I mailed this to her.

I really liked how this turned out and will be using this sketch more. All layers were sponged except for the card base and the Night of Navy card stock.

All Supplies SU!:
Sets: Fresh Cuts, Sincere Salutations
CS: VV (I believe), Ballet Blue, Night of Navy
Ink: Ballet Blue, Night of Navy
Other: Stamping Sponge, Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!!
