UDI Inspiration Challenge #84

I go in spurts when doing challenges it seems. I love challenges because they can jumpstart your creativity. However, by the time I get a challenge accomplished - a new challenge has been posted (usually 2 or 3 really).

You may remember me posting a few months back for the UDI Inspiration Challenge. Well, with my laptop issues and such, I haven't participated in awhile. Happy to say that I am back and posting!

Below is the picture for our inspiration. Isn't it great - bold colors and the big flowers. Yep - it was great when my idea jumped right in my head for this one!

Here is my card. I went with both the colors and flowers. I used the SU Sizzlits Flower Blossom for the main flowers. The centers of each petal are actually 'cut' when running them through the Big Shot. So, I popped them out of each flower and then repositioned them into a different color flower to achieve the look from our inspiration picture. I used a flower from Eastern Blooms as a filler. I used a silver brad for the center of each Flower Blossom. The greeting is from the SAB set Whimsical Words. (Want to get this set for FREE? Be sure to contact me.)

Because the base of my card was black, I decorated the inside too. Just a little simple design, but definitely adds the right touch I think.


So, there you have it. Be sure to check out what the rest of the UDI Inspiration team did! You can get the links to their blogs by going to the UDI Blog. While you're there, check out the other challenges we have. Be sure to leave us a note to let us know you were there - we love to read your comments!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms, Whimsical Words (SAB)
CS: Basic Black, Barely Banana, Real Red
Ink: Real Red
Other: Sizzlit Flower Blossom, Big Shot, Paper Piercer, Silver Brads

Small Wonder

I needed a card for a co-worker who a had a baby girl recently. I don't have any baby stamps, so I went with flowers and a butterfly. I made this awhile ago, but I'm just now getting a chance to post it. I CASEd the layout from another stamper - Krista D - over on the Late Night Stampers group.

Things to note:
-- I sponged all edges (including the butterfly) with Chocolate Chip ink
-- the butterfly is popped up with dimensionals
-- the stamped flower piece is popped up with dimensionals

Both the Whimsical Words set and the Scallop Trim Border Punch are FREE right now through SAB. Want more details - ask me!!

Supplies:
Sets: Vintage Vogue, Whimsical Words (SAB)
CS: WW, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, Melon Mambo
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo, Mellow Moss
Other: Scallop Trim Border Punch (SAB), Butterfly Punch, Felt Flowers, Stamping Sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!

WOW!! It's been awhile Butterfly!!

I didn't realize it's been so long, since I've last posted. I hate not having my laptop available to me!! I really need to either get it fixed or invest in a new one.

Anyway - I took part in a SNSS challenge over on SNR today. It was to use butterflies (hence the title on this post) on your project. I got the Beautiful Wings Embosslit the other day and thought this would be perfect to use it for. I've loved seeing all the different projects using this embosslit, so thought it was about time to break it in!

Things to note:
-- the Beautiful Wings Embosslit gives you 5 butterflies with variations in their embossing (all 5 shown here on this card)
-- the 2 largest butterflies have dimensionals to give them some depth
-- the DSP is the FREE SAB Welcome Neighbor pack (spend $50 and this great pack of DSP can be yours FREE)
Yes - this is a very simple card, but it took me hours to accomplish! I had to pick up my girls and get an oil change, so I finally finished it now. Whew!

Supplies:
Set: Hugs for Janessa (SNSS)
CS: WW, Melon Mambo, Welcome Neighbor DSP
Ink: Melon Mambo
Other: Beautiful Wings Embosslit (SU!), Melon Mambo Polka Dotted Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

Hopefully it won't be as long before I post again!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Stampin' Up! and Haitian Disaster Relief

The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount (block D recommended) 118571 $18.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount 117010 $26.95

In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have stepped forward and showed their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. This time is no different.

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators share what they love. That’s how you make a difference. Please do everything you can to lend a hand to the people of Haiti.

November Stamp Club Projects

These were the cards that my stamp club made in November. I focused all the cards on the Cold & Cuddly set from the Holiday Mini. I also predesigned my cards in MDS, so that I had something to go by.

The first one is a monochromatic card using Bermuda Bay card stock, DSP, and ink.

The second card I chose to round the corners on the right hand side.

The third card is my favorite - probably the DSP....that is gorgeous paper!
Thanks for stopping by my blog when you had a chance this past year! Looking forward to a new and wonderful 2010! Hope you continue to stop by in 2010 as well!!

Happy New Year!!

UDI Inspiration Challenge #70

This is my long ago post that I haven't been able to post. Shortly after my last post, my laptop essentially died. Well, it is back - I use that term lightly though. As I type - my screen is flickering and I'm worried it will shut down again. I seriously need to get it checked out, but it needs to be on when I take it in because once it's off....it may not come back on.

Anyway - back to this post. The picture below was given to us to use as our inspiration. To see the Inpsiration Challenges (among others, such as Sketch Challenges) - go check out the UDI Blog for more ideas from other talented SU! demos.

Things to Note:
-- I went with the brown (sepia look) and the daisies for my inspiration
-- To 'color' the embossed flowers, I used Shimmer Paint

I made this for a friend/co-worker whose FIL passed away. I was really pleased with how it turned out. The flowers definitely 'shimmer'. This was the first time I've used the Shimmer Paints and will definitely use them more!!

Hopefully I'll have more to post and that my laptop will continue to work and I'll be able to get things posted.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Stampin' Hugs,
Karen

Floral Birthday

No this isn't my Inspiration Challenge card. I went to take the picture today, so I could post my cards here, but my batteries are dead. Wouldn't you know it - I also didn't have any extra batteries in the house, so I need to get some.

In the meantime, I don't think I shared this card yet here on my blog. I made this for my sister's birthday last month. I used one of the sketches that are provided on Saturdays over on the UDI Blog. It is a really fun sketch and I loved how this card turned out!

I used the Melon Mambo textured card stock for the base of the card. I love the subtle touch this adds to it as well. I popped the punched circles up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I alternated the color card stock behind the flowers, so the same color flower isn't paired up with the same color card stock.

Stamps: Eastern Blooms; On Your Birthday
CS: Melon Mambo Textured, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Other: Melon Mambo Marker, Rich Razzleberry Marker, Crushed Curry Marker, 1 1/4 Circle Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Melon Mambo Polka Dotted Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope to post my UDI Inspiration cards before the weekend is over.

UDI Inspiration Challenge 69

It's been awhile, since I've been able to participate in the UDI Inspiration challenges. A wide varitey of issues, but I finally was able to take part this week! Of course, I come back to a week that was hard for me. I had different ideas running through my head, but none actually worked out. Below is the inspiration picture.

Here is the card that I made for the challenge. It didn't turn out exactly like I had wanted, but I left it as is. I went with a couple different things from the picture - the swirl, the tree trunk lines, and the speckled look (to me at least).

The swirl didn't actually come out on my card. I have a baby shower to go to this coming weekend, so thought I would make a card for it. I also used this past weeks UDI sketch challenge on this card.

Be sure to check out the other challenge team members to see what they came up with. You can find their blog links at the UDI Blog. Also you can check out the cards on SCS using keyword DivaIC69.

Supplies:
Stamps: Curvy Verses, Itty Bitty Backgrounds
CS: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, WW
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery
Other: Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Designer Label Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Stamping Sponges


Thanks for stopping by!!

Past Halloween Share

I've had these stamped for some time, but haven't been able to post them. They were loaded to my laptop, which has been giving me more fits lately. So, everytime I would finally get it to work - it would shut off before I could get these posted to my blog.

So, for what it's worth - here are 2 Halloween cards. These are the first Halloween cards I've ever made. I don't usually send out cards for this holiday, but got a cute set from The Stamps of Life and wanted to use them.

This first card actually never got mailed. So, I've already got one card ready for next year! I'm ahead of the game for once!! LOL!!

This second one I mailed to my goddaughter/niece. She's been playing catch-up with her school work, since she had surgery and was out for a couple weeks. She doesn't do the Trick or Treat anymore, but thought I'd send her the general Halloween card.

Supplies used for both cards:
Stamps: Thanks2Fall (The Stamps of Life)
CS: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, WW, Night & Day DSP
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, StazOn Black
Other: Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8' & 1 1/4' Circle Punches, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!! If you haven't done so yet - please send Jaimie a card and/or say a prayer for her and her family (from my previous post). Let's shower this young girl with cards from all over the world!

Stampin' Hugs,
Karen

Stamp Something....for Jaimie
Blog Hop Today

Today's blog hop is for an 11yr old girl named Jaimie. Below is information on why this blog hop is happening and the importance of it. Please join us in Stamping Something...for Jaimie this week. I joined the hop because my heart aches for this young girl, her family, friends, and this small community.

Join us on Monday, November 2nd for a Spread the Love Blog Hop and card drive!

New Hampshire is a small state filled with even smaller towns. It's the kind of place where you know everyone, leave your keys in the ignition when you run in the post office and don't worry about walking home from a neighbor's house at night. I live in the same town I grew up in by choice, not by necessity and love that my 6th grade music teacher is my daughter's principal, that my cheer leading coach is her guidance counselor and that soon she'll get the chance to beat my classmate's long standing high jump record on field day.

Mont Vernon is an even smaller town than mine about 40 minutes away. It is home to a long time friend and her family as well as their neighbor, 11 year old Jaimie Cates. On the night of October 4th Jaimie and her mom and my friend and her family went to bed with no way of knowing what events were about to transpire to change their lives.

Four local teenagers armed with knives, broke into their home and brutally murdered Kim Cates and seriously injured 11 year old Jaimie. They chose the home for no other reason than its location and for no other purpose than to bring harm to the occupants. It was a senseless, random crime that shook the small town and much of the state.

After receiving a grief filled email from my friend asking for help for the family, I knew I needed to help however I could. I asked my fellow stamper, New Hampshire gal, and long time friend Denise Lynn for ideas. Together, and with the artistic talents of Ann Vento, we came up with the idea of an international blog hop and this blog to raise awareness of the crime.
Here is the card I made for Jaimie. I wanted it to be simple, so that the message stands out. I will be praying for Jaimie and the recovery she will have to endure.

We are hoping to shower Jaimie with wishes of love and hope from around the world to help her recover some of what was lost.The hop starts at 10am ET on Monday, November 2nd and will include over 60 talented stampers, donations from fabulous stamp companies and lots of love. We are asking everyone to make and send a card to Jaimie as quickly as possible. If you are unable to make a card or wish to do more, please visit our sidebar at Stamp Something...for Jaimie and click on the donations link.

This is the inside of the card. I stamped off the tree once before stamping onto the card stock. I wanted it to be subtle image.

Please join us this week!! Listed below are the blog hop participants. If you came to my blog via Kim Howard then you are on the right track. If you came to my blog another way, then be sure to start at Katharina Frei's blog, so you don't miss anything. Also be sure to visit the Stamp Something...for Jaimie blog and visit the sponsors who generously donated goodies for this blog hop.

September Stamp Club Project #3

Here is the final card that my club made. I saw online where someone had used the Medallion stamp for Christmas and wanted to recreate something like it. After starting the design, realized I had done it a bit backwards. I like how mine turned out though as well.

Things to Note:
-- Scallop Circle Punch used for the center of the 'wreath'
-- Stamping sponges used to get the red/green on the center of the 'wreath'
-- Brayer used to ink the main part of the Medallion stamp

Supplies:
Stamps: Medallion, Many Merry Messages
CS: Always Artichoke, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Always Artichoke, Real Red
Other: Scallop Circle Punch, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamping Sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals

That's it for the club projects - hope you enjoyed them!!

Stampin' Hugs,
Karen

Things to Note:
-- Again I inked my brayer with the Dusty Durango ink and then used that to ink my stamp

Supplies:
Stamps: Medallion, Pocket Silhouettes
CS: Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, Confetti Cream
Ink: Dusty Durango, Soft Suede
Other: 1/16" Circle Punch, Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware, Scallop Edge Punch, Brayer, Designer Label Punch

September Stamp Club Project #1

This card may look familar to some of you. That's because I posted one almost exactly like this before on my blog. I decided to focus on the Medallion stamp for my club projects this month. So, I CASEd myself. :) The only change was that I added a sentiment onto this one.

Things to Note:
-- Ink your brayer with your color of choice and then use that to ink the Medallion stamp. This helps to achieve an even all over inked stamp.

Supplies:
Stamps: Medallion, On Your Birthday
CS: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Other: 1/16" Circle Punch, Clear Circle Rhinestone Brads, Razzleberry Polka Dotted Grosgrain Ribbon, Brayer

Stop back tomorrow for another club project. Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of You

I just got this recently from The Stamps of Life. It is called Back2Basics and is a simple, yet fun set. There is so much you can do with it. You can see more samples on The Stamps of Life blog. I made this card for my niece. Apparently, the first card I made for her never arrived, so I'm hoping this one makes it to her.

It's hard to see, but I stamped the outline of flowers stamp in green on the background. Also, not able to be seen is the texture of the green card stock. Not sure of the colors of cardstock, as they came with my set. :)

Supples:
Stamps: Back2Basics
CS: Green, Red, Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive, Cameo Coral
Other: 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals (under the sentiment), Velvet Olive Ric Rac, Scallop Edge Punch

Thanks for stopping by - be sure to come back!!

UDI Inspiration Challenge #63

Yes - it is now Sunday and I'm posting my challenge card that should be posted on Thursdays. With my laptop issues, it has driven me crazy - not to mention put me behind on many things. I truly can not live without my laptop - sad, but true.

So, onto the challenge....I see now that I posted my pictures backward, but I'm going to keep it this way for the post. Easier than having to rearrange everything.

Things to Note:
-- Brayer used to get the 3 colors on the card stock
-- Used scrap paper that I tore to get the 'waves'

Supplies:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy
CS: Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Whisper White
Ink: Black Stazon, Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede
Other: Soft Suede Polka Dotted Grosgrain Ribbon

Below was our Inspiration Photo. Isn't it beautiful? I love the bright Fall colors displayed here. I guess you can guess how I went with my card - the colors and how they were layered.

Be sure to check out the other member's of the challenge team to see what they came up with. You can find their blogs on the UDI Blog - on the sidebar under Inspiration Challenge Members.

UDI Inspiration Challenge #62

Ok - this was supposed to posted on Thursday, but I've been having more computer/internet problems. I think I've got most of the issues fixed - still something going on with my laptop, but that is minor. Sorry this is late!

The inspiration came from the picture below. I decided to go with the earthy color scheme and the 'polka dots' on the giraffe. Be sure to check out what the other girls came up with over at the UDI Blog.

Things to Note:
-- the trees were stamped in So Saffron, then 'rolled' in Soft Suede
-- the 'grass' is actually one of the tree top stamps in the set
-- the base card is Whisper White and sponged with Soft Suede

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the Designer Paper is from the Tall Tales DSP. It is So Saffron polka dotted and is punched on the one side with the Scallop Punch. I made this for my niece who recently had surgery. She's still recovering, but hopefully will soon be up and about!

Supplies:
Stamps: Trendy Trees
CS: Whisper White, Soft Suede, Tall Tales DSP
Ink: So Saffron, Soft Suede, Old Olive
Other: Scallop Edge Punch, Soft Suede Polka Dotted Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Stamping Sponge

Sorry for the short post tonight!

Stampin' Hugs,

August Stamp Club Project #3

Here is the final project that the club members made last month. I wanted to do a quick Christmas card, so that if they wanted to they could start on their cards and at least have 1 idea to go from. I waited too long last year and ended up not getting cards out for Christmas - instead I ordered photo cards and they became New Year's cards. So, I'm determined to get mine done early this year!

I liked this color for a non-traditional Christmas card and thinks it works well with the DSP. The DSP has almost a shimmer to it and is very pretty. I used the sketch challenge from Stampin' Addicts - SASC23.

Supplies:
Stamps: Sparkly & Bright (pg. 41)
CS: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa DSP (Holiday Mini)
Ink: Soft Suede
Other: Stampin' Dimensionals


That's it for tonight. Hope you had a wonderful and blessed weekend!!

Stampin' Hugs,
Karen

August Stamp Club Project #2

On to #2 of the cards that my club girls made. I again started with a sketch. This time I snagged a sketch over on Stampin' Addicts forum - SASC24. I like how easy the sketches are and can usually find one that will work with the set I want to use.

Things to Note:
-- Stamped image edges were sponged with Rose Red
-- SU! Top Note Die (Sizzix) was used on the Tall Tales DSP

Supplies:
Stamps: Branch Out (SU! Dormant List) , Trendy Trees (sentiment)
CS: Rose Red, Whisper White, Tall Tales DSP
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Rose Red, So Saffron, Old Olive
Other: SU! Top Note Bigz Die, Stamping Sponge

That's it for tonight! Another late night post, thus the shortness. One more project to post - need to retake the picture though...didn't turn out right. See you back here - til then....

Stampin' Hugs,
Karen

August Stamp Club Project #1

This is one of the cards that my stamp club made last month. I used a sketch from SCS that can be found here - SCS242. I always seem to be drawn to sketches - they are quick jump start to making cards and I like that!

Supplies:
Stamps: Animal Stories
CS: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Tall Tales DSP
Ink: So Saffron
Other: Stampin' Dimensionals

Sorry for the short post - a bit tired and my brain doesn't want to work for me. I have the other club projects to post, so come back to check them out.

Stampin' Hugs,
Karen
