Stampin! with Jaydee

Hey Chick for AAA #173

Happy Thursday! Today is the first day of our long weekend. I don't go back to work until Wednesday! So, I got some time to play along with a couple of challenges. The first features one of my favorite old Stampin' Up! sets called Hey, Chick. It's Sale-a-Bration set from 2017 and is one of those sets that I will always keep. I just love it! When I saw the sketch across at AAA - and the optional theme, I tried to mimic a film roll, although, it really is a polaroid strip! So, I didn't quite accomplish the optional... Read more →

Beauty Within Very Versailles for CaseThisSketch

Happy Saturday! I have another card made using the Beauty Within set from Altenew. My last cards made with this set all featured the coloring stencils. This time, I went old-school and colored the flower with Copic markers. I was inspired by the sketch across at casethissketch this week. I stamped and colored the flower and leaf. I fussy cut them because I didn't want white edges from the die-cuts. That's because I colored behind the focal elements and the white border really would have popped too much. I added the script stamp from the Very Versailles set on top... Read more →

Forever Fern for Case This Sketch #384 and Color Dare #406

Happy Wednesday. It's the end of the middle of the week and the weekend is on its way! I'm sharing another card I made during my time in my crafting cave this week. I used the sketch across at CaseThisSketch as inspiration Such a pretty sketch and I love the fact that it was the sketch from back in the day - sketch #45! I decided to ink up my Forever Fern using three inspiration colors from the Color Dare challenge. I went with Smoothie, Sapphire and Glacier - well as close as I could get :-) Here's my card...

Sailing Home for AAA #171

Happy Tuesday! I played along with AAA when I was in my crafting cave this week. They have a cool CAS challenge that is asking us to do something beachy - and do it on the edge :-) I initially had an entirely different card planned, but it just wasn't working for me. I then thought about the beach and what I love about it. And, I have to say, it isn't sitting cooking my skin! Those days are LONG gone. Note to my younger self: everything they tell you will happen when you spend too much time in the... Read more →

Prized Peony for Paper Players #503

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week and it was another chance for me to showcase my favorite Stampin' Up! set - Prized Peony: So, I have to be honest, Melon Mambo is one of my least favorite colors. I just find it a little too bright for my taste. I love what other people do with it, but I do like that Joanne paired it with Night of Navy to offset it. However, I did take the chicken way out this week and used it sparingly! I... Read more →
