Whisky Business for Color Throwdown 604 and it's blooper night!

Happy Saturday. I have a card I made for one of our besties to share with you tonight. I made it using some vellum, card stock and the fabulous masculine set from Stampin' Up! called Whiskey Business. The colors across at Color Throwdown were just about perfect. I stamped the whisky bottle and glass onto opaque vellum with StazOn. I left it for a few minutes to make sure it was dry and then I colored it from the back with my Copics. Because the vellum is opaque, it took a slightly colder color than I had anticipated, so I... Read more →

Sailing Home for Atlantic Hearts Challenge # 378

Happy Sunday - again :-) I was in a clean and simple frame of mind in my craft cave yesterday. Usually when I play along with the Atlantic Hearts challenges I bring out my DSP, but for this one I decided to go really CAS. I needed a masculine birthday card and pulled out one of my favorite masculine sets - Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! I stamped and colored the lighthouse and then die-cut it. I die-cut a rectangle and used my blending brush with Pool Party ink for the background and stamped some of the seagulls in Smoky... Read more →

Happy Sunday! It's the fabulous Anne Marie's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week - and it's sketch week! When I saw Anne Marie's hand drawn version of the layout on our private PP blog, there was a big smiley face next to it. I laughed out loud, because I swear that smiley face was meant for me.

And,... Read more →

Whale of a Time for Paper Players #497

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week - and it's sketch week. I did make a card using Game On, but I just wasn't happy with it. So, in the end, I decided to showcase some of the fabulous DSP from the new Stampin' Up! catalog called Whale of a Time. I love the bright colors in this paper. I added a sentiment from Whale Done. Here's the sketch: I used a couple of different pieces from the DSP and cut them to match the sketch. Of course, I couldn't help but... Read more →
