Stamp It Cards Olympic Challenge (Season's Greetings and Thank You)

Here are my final two entries for the Stamp It Olympics!!!

Season's Greetings Entry...
I used Papertrey Ink's Peaceful Poinsettias stamp set to make the flower images, Vintage Labels for the polka dot image outlining the white die cut label and I used Signature Greetings for the sentiment. The paper colors are all from Papertrey Ink: Hibiscus Burst(Pink), Aqua Mist(Blue), Spring Moss(Green) and Fresh Snow(White)


Thank You Entry...
For this card I used all stamp sets from Close to my Heart. The leaf image is from Simple Beauty, the thank you sentiment is from Thank You, I also stamped on the Dark yellow card stock a background image from Intrinsic Backgrounds it is a little difficult to see in the picture. All paper is from Papertrey Ink: Summer Sunrise(Dark Yellow), Lemon Tart(Light Yellow), Spring Moss(Green), and Melon Berry (salmon Color). The ribbon is Spring Moss twill from Papertrey Ink.

March DT Challenge along with Stamp It Cards Olympic Challenge (Hello and Love)

Papertrey Ink's March DT Challenge and Love entry for Stamp It Cards Challenge...The first card pictured below is for two challenges Papertrey Ink's March DT Challenge and also my "Love" Stamp Olympics entry... I choose Heather's color combo. I have been building my inventory of PTI products unfortunately that consists of mostly paper and inks and not many stamp sets yet :) So until I build up my PTI stamp set supply I used the stamp sets that I have. I used CTMH's Simple Beauty for the flowers, Grown with Love for the sentiment and Intrinsic Backgrounds for the background image on the Label Die Cuts. The card stock, ribbon, and button are all PTI in the colors listed below



Hello entry for Stamp it Cards Challenge...
This is my entry for the "Hello" Stamp it Cards Challenge. I started by scoring a grid on the Lemon Tart yellow base and then using CTMH's Serendipity stamp set I created my own patterned paper using PTI's Dark Chocolate Ink and CTMH's Honey Ink. For the title of the card I used Close to my Heart's Color Ready Bold Alphabet stickers and inked them in Honey Ink and then used CTMH's Spot on Backgrounds to stamp the Dark Chocolate polka dots on the "hello". The friend sentiment is also from CTMH's Friendship word puzzle I added some paper flowers along with some ribbon and a cute little button to complete this simple little card.

Stamp It Cards Challenge

This is my first time doing a challenge for the Moxie Fab Blog, here is my entry I am hoping to submit for all 5 categories but first things first!! Here is a super colorful Happy Birthday card with a ton of stamping!! I usually don't get this busy with my cards but there is a first time for everything and I had a lot of fun doing it!! The cake image is from the Piece of Cake stamp set from Close to My Heart, this is a fun stamp set to use when you want to do the paper piecing technique. I stamped the cake image with dark chocolate ink onto the aqua mist spellbinders die cut label. Then by stamping the same cake image onto different colors of card stock I was able to cut the image apart and piece those images onto the base to add dimension and color!!! By highlighting a few images with glitter it really makes it pop!! I also used Spot on Backgrounds from Close to my Heart to stamp the small polka dots on the Vintage Cream card stock underneath the die cut label. I used the One of a Kind stamp set from Close to my Heart to stamp the three green circular images around the die cut label. The sentiment is from the It's your Day stamp set from Close to my Heart I hope you enjoy my card and I look forward to creating 4 more cards!!! Thanks for looking!

Cookie Sheet Advent Calendar

I know that Lisa Stenz and another lady I can't remember who (but yours was awesome too) made these last year, when I saw them I had to make one!!! Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas ladies!! I think that I had it done finally a few days before Christmas last year so I never posted it but I sure do have it hanging up this year!!! I am not going to lie but this did take a long time to finish, but it was so worth it in the end I love it and my little kiddo's do too!! I used so many things to complete this project so if you have a question on anything just ask! I used up a bunch of Close to my Heart's old B&T for this project. I used Watermelon, Breeze and Kiwi ( I miss you guys :), Gold Rush and just a touch of Black and Cranberry to make it pop!! Andes Candies fit perfect in the little match boxes and it makes them smell so nice too, another great thing about waiting another year to use this was that the match smell is GONE I don't think the kids would have liked match flavored candy!!!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #20

I have been making so many cards for the upcoming holidays, so I decided to change things up a little for this challenge and create a photo frame. We had our family pictures taken back in October and I thought they would match perfectly with the colors of this challenge!! I love these colors together it was very easy for me to come up with a fun layout!! I have had my Grown with Love stamp set from Close to my Heart for a while now and haven't done anything with it until now! I love the tree with the circle accents those who know me know that I use circles A LOT when I create things so I was excited that I could finally use this set! I am planning on placing this in an 8x10 frame, ohh darn that means I have to take a trip to Hobby Lobby to find the perfect to complete the project!! I am sorry about the poor pictures. Thanks for looking!!!
