Dinosaur Punch Art Welcome Baby Card

Howdy All!
As promised from yesterday, I have a darling card for you today. I was inspired by this card that I saw on Pinterest. I have found so many awesome Blogs from looking around on Pinterest. If you do not yet belong to this group, I suggest you go have a look-see and check it out! So, here is my card:

I used all Stampin' Up! products except for the texture embossing folder which is a CuttleBug folder by ProvoCraft. I wish Stampin' Up! would come out with more of these! I love to use them to add depth and texture to my paper crafts!

Here is a quick visual of the punches and Big Shot die that I used to create my fun card(Click on Photo for a close-up view)! Cute! Cute! Cute! And easy too! Give it a try. It would make a cute card for anyone who loves dinosaurs!

Well, that's what I have for you today! Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by! Come back again real soon!
Hugs!

Two More Cards For Hope You Can Cling To

Howdy! Okay, I have been stamping, stamping, stamping! In this post I am showing the cards I made yesterday as part of World Card Making Day over at SCS. These were created for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges. This first card was for the HYCCT02B challenge - Lingerie Inspired. I thought it would be fun to created a pretty bra from punches since I don't own any lingerie stamps. I really like how this came out! It's so pretty and girly! And that sentiment from Taylored Expressions was perfect!Here is my supply list:



STAMPS: Taylored Expressions



PAPER: Whisper White, Regal Rose, Patterns Pack II (SU!)



INK: SU!



THE REST: Punches (Marvy, SU!, EK); ribbon, lace rhinestone gems all from my Non-SU! stash











For my next card (I actually made 2) I used the HYCCT02C - Bring in the Brown as well as the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge #171. I think I may use this card as a prototye for one of my Christmas cards this year! Definitely a fun sketch to work with and I thought this dark brown satin ribbon and baubles were the perfect touch for the Bring in the Brown challenge! Here is my supply list:

STAMPS: Wishing You Cheer (SU!)

PAPER: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip (SU!); Figgy Pudding designer paper (Basic Grey)

INK and MARKERS: SU!

THE REST: Stickles (Ranger); Ribbon (Michaels); baubles (unknown)

All of these cards will be donated! Please check out the links in this post as well as the links in my left side bar to see how you can participate!

Welp...back to stamping I go. I just finished another challenge card over at SCS and I gotta take some pics, so hopefully I will be back later to add another post!
Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by! See you again real soon!

SC300 Turkey Day

Good evening All,
I thought I would create something fun for Thanksgiving and what could be more fun than a few whimsical turkeys?! These were created completely from punches so they were easy-peasy. I made most of them with 10mm wiggle eyes, but I ran out so 2 have eyes made with punches. An added bonus was that I made them from scraps from my Earth Elements scrap pile. I then used this week's sketch challenge, SC300, for my background! I just love how they turned out and I have already mailed them with several other cards to Operation Write Home in time for the troops to use to send home to their loved ones for Thanksgiving.
Here is my supply list (all products are Stampin' Up! except for the wiggle eyes)

NO STAMPS USED:

PAPER: Chocolate chip, Whisper White, More Mustard, Really Rust, Pumpkin Pie, Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red, Autumn Vine DSP

NO INK or MARKERS:

THE REST: brads, circle punches(1-3/4", 1", 1/2", 1/4"), Heart to Heart punch, snowflake punch, Boho Blossoms punch, 5-petal Flower punch, Square Lattice embossing folder, Big Shot

Well, that is it for tonight. It feels good to be able to post ot my blog after spending a couple days out of commission with some sort of stomach bug, yucky!

Thanks a bunch for stoppin' by! See you again real soon!

The things that I changed:

1. I didn't have a vase stamp, so I used the ornament punch from SU! and just trimmed of the tip to make it look like a vase

2. I used different stamps

3. I used different colors

4. I used rhinestones instead of 1/2 pearls for my 1st card and stickles on my 2nd card

5. I added 2 layers

Home Decor Altered Key Holder

Good Evening All,
I wanted to show you these pics of this altered key holder that I made. I have been seriously working on it for about 2 weeks. It was one of those projects that while I had a picture in my head of what I wanted to do it was more difficult getting the right combination of elements!! lol!
I found this key holder plaque on a clearance shelf in TJ Max or Marshalls for $5. It was kinda beat up and it was mauve and off white in color with a picture of a rowboat in the top. It also had white hooks that were attached crooked so I replace them. I repainted the frame with several coats of brown and black acrylic paint and added 2 coats of matte finish Krylon spray. I used lots of different company products, too many to try and list them all. The 1st and 3rd sentiment stamps are from SU! and the middle is from CTMH. I used BasicGrey's Origins collection designer paper. Cardstock was from my scrap pile. Most of the punches and diecuts are from SU!, Marvy, and Spellbinders. I will be hanging this in my kitchen on the wall next to the door that leads to my laundry room and garage. I am super please with how it turned out and that it is finally finished!!
Thanks so much for stoppin' by!

FS171 You're too kind Casing Ctorina

Good Monday mornin' All,

I had some time for stampin' last night before watching the Survivor finale so I checked out SCS's Sunday challenge - the Featured Stamper's Challenge. Ctorina (aka-Cathleen) has a beautiful gallery of cards and I found it difficult to choose just one to CASE. I wanted to get done quickly so I chose this card. Here is my version of Cathleen's card.

When playing along you must change at least 2 things with your card to make it your own. I kept the basic layout but changed the color scheme and my sentiment is puched using oval punches. I also wrapped my ribbon all the way around my card, just cuz I love gingham ribbon and I wanted to show it off! Congrats to Cathleen for being chosen as this week's Featured Stamper!

Here is my supply list:

STAMPS: Whimsical Words (SU!)

PAPER: Real Red(SU!); 5x7 kraft card base cut down to 5x5(Paper Reflections)

INK: Basic black(SU!)

THE REST: ribbon(Michaels);punches; gems; crimper, pop dots

I layered the punched flowers and mounted them on pop dots to give this card lots of dimension! This card only took me about 20 minutes and half of that was spent on getting my ribbon just right! lol!

Thanks a bunch for swinging by and checking out what I've been up to! See you again soon!
