Jar of Jellybeans

Hi, everyone!  This week's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is to choose a card from Jen's gallery (Miss Boo) and recreate it in a CAS fashion.  I chose this beautiful card from her gallery....I loved the colors, the polka dots, the corner punch, and perfect paper piercing.  My card did not end up as CAS as originally planned, but here it is!

I have used several stamp sets and dies from Our Daily Bread designs in the making of this card.  The largest jar from the "Canning Jars" set was stamped and cut out with the ODBD Custom Canning Jars Die Set, the "jellybeans" are from the "Canning Jar Fillers 2" set (these are actually regular beans, but I colored them red and coated them with Glossy Accents).  The jar cover, banner, and corner embellishment (cut out with the Ornate Borders and Flower Die Set) were all stamped with the Gingham Background. The sentiment is from the "Little Girls" set.

Thanks for visiting with me today!  Come on back first thing in the morning for the ODBD January New Releases!!!!  Yay!!!

Have a safe and blessed New Year!!

Lavender Fence - ODBD Sneak Peek!

Hi, everyone! Today's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast Stampers is Cary aka Miss Minx....congrats, Cary!!!  I cruised through every page of her beautiful gallery and decided to recreate this super cute card.....I haven't made a fence like this in years, so I thought it would be fun to use an upcoming January set by Our Daily Bread designs called "Lavender" (available January 1st).  The fence was created by stamping the "Wood Background" stamp (also from Our Daily Bread designs) onto gray cardstock, then used a small tag punch to create the planks, sponged the edges, adhered them to the image panel, added a strip across along with some mini brads and a tag. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Clean and Simple Birthday Cake x 2

Happy Monday, everyone!  I have two cards to share with you today....one is the "Less is More" version and the other is "More is More" version, which is the same card but "ramped up" a bit!  The "More" version is based upon the Mojo Sketch for this week......I couldn't resist since it was a very simple design!  Today's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoast is "Cakes, Pies, and Desserts", so I used the "Cake Single" and birthday sentiment from "All Occasion Sentiments", both by Our Daily Bread designs.  I will also be submitting this to the "Less is More" challenge.....choose any previous challenge.....I chose the challenge from March 5th, to use pastel colors.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Please let me know which version you like best!  Have a fabulous week!!

Blessings,

Words Cannot Express.....

Hi, everyone!  Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!  Since it's wet and "goopy" outside, I've been watching football and doing some stamping.  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Roberta aka stampin' nana.....congrats, Roberta!!!  I chose this beautiful card to recreate.....I loved the design with the four squares.....a cool design, but still clean and simple....yay!  I cut four matching squares, stamped each with the corner stamp from Ornate Borders and Flowers, using my friend the Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp positioner, sponged the edges then adhered them onto the aqua cardstock.  The sentiment is from the No Words set. (Both stamp sets are from Our Daily Bread designs.)

Thanks for visiting with me today!

CAS Inspiration from Birgit

Happy Saturday, everyone!!! Today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to choose your inspiration from Birgit's blog, Rapport fran ett Skrivbord, which translated to English means "Report from a Desk".  Birgit (aka Biggan) is one of my all time fave stampers/artists over at Splitcoast.....her style is so artsy and creative!!!  I chose this beautiful card to re-create, using masking with scratch paper and sponging.  The silhouette and sentiment are from "Find Beauty" from North Coast Creations (sister company to Our Daily Bread designs).

Thanks so much for visiting with me today!

Have a very blessed weekend!!

Punch Art Froggie Birthday

Hi, everyone!  Today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find an item from Michael Kors.....I used this gorgeous green purse with brown leather tassles as inspiration for my card today.  My sister-in-law requested a frog themed birthday card this year.....when I saw the green  bag, I knew that today was the day to make her card!  Instead of using the same ole frog stamps I usually use, I decided to create my own frog out of punches and die cuts.  I used scratch paper and different dies and punches for trial and error until I found the right combination, then cut the pieces out of cardstock. I used the Gingham Background and Ornate Border Sentiments, both from Our Daily Bread designs.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a blessed weekend!!
