"Wickedly Cool"

Hi Guys, I really got my mojo on tonight with this weeks

"Mojo Monday's #153"

It all just flowed, don't you love it when that happens.

I'm soooooo loving this new Halloween Set

"Wicked Cool" It stamps so clean and with such fine lines!

I started with Whisper White cardstock for my base card,

and added a mat of Rich Razzleberry,

next came DSP "Wicked Fun" lots of wicked fun going on with this card!!!!

I punched the scalloped squares with SU extra large scallop punch,

next I punched the images out with the SU 1-1/4 square punch.

Spooky was stamped with Basic Black Dye Ink on Whisper White,

then punched with Oval Large SU Punch,

and matted with the SU Scalloped Oval punched Rich Razzleberry.

Check out how these punches all work together, and really make your work look so professional.....and boy do they save time!!

Ribbon is Rich Razzleberry and may not be available now,

but there is a solid 1/4 inch grosgrain.

I added a black star button and some glitzy rhinestones

and there you have it.

Hope you all enjoy it.

I've posted my favorite card last( my design) , therefor making it first on my blog for today. Don't you love how you have to think in reverse. As if thinking forward isn't hard enough......!!!

I started this card with a Bashful Blue card, layered Early Espresso ( I'm liking it more than Chocolate Chip, who would have thought it??), I added an embossed Whisper White layer, then the DSP, guess......no.... not Greenhouse Gala.... again....!!!

I added a punched border in Bashful Blue.

The main sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso then trimmed and mounted on Whisper White, then Bashful Blue. I stamped the image again on Bashful Blue and cut out the flower. Added some glitter, popped it all up a little, added the polka dot ribbon and wha-la!!

I think I'll take a few days off from Friends Never Fade and DSP Greenhouse Gala.

What do you think????

2010-07-11T15:11:00.003-05:00

I just love this card, lots of work, but it turned out great. I CASED it from Amy Sheffer, it was listed on SCS as urbangardenthanks.

Real Red. Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzaz, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White. DSP is Greenhouse Gala, and I added some red bling in the middle. I used my 1 1/4 inch square punch to do the 4 center colors. Lots of fun and I like how it turned out.

2010-07-11T14:49:00.003-05:00

I CASED this card from Sandy MacIver, she's my hero. I really like her style. Real Red and Pear Pizzazz CS, Scalloped Border punch in Whisper White, sentiment incased in an antique brass Hodgepodge Hardware. Main image was colored with SU markers and stamped on Whisper White, it was cut out with the rectangle spellbinders.

The DSP is again, my favorite Greenhouse Gala.

2010-07-11T14:36:00.002-05:00

I enjoyed making this card, isn't it interesting how some cards just come together easily, and then others you agonize over. This is my design, same set "Friends Never Fade". Base cardstock is Pear Pizzazz, next mat is Baja Breeze, I stamped the bottom design with versamark, and also stamped the main design with versamark, then embossed with clear embossing powder. The paper is DSP Greenhouse Gala. The sentiment and the main stamped image are popped up. The ribbon was in my stash, and the felt flower and brad is from SU.

I liked how this card turned out.

2010-07-11T14:13:00.004-05:00

Bashful Blue card base, Early Espresso embossed with the new embossing folder "Vintage Wallpaper", Bashful Blue and Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso, I then stamped the flower in the same set with Bashful blue, sprayed it with Vanila Shimmer Smooch( kiss, kiss, kiss...love this stuff. It makes your snowflakes just beautiful) and cut it out. Popped it up with dimensionals.

Added ribbon and rick rack. And a little flower to the middle of the flower.

Not my favorite but it will do.

2010-07-11T13:55:00.003-05:00

After posting this I realized I have used several stamps to make this card. The colors were chosen for the Curtain Call, Act 33. I just love this combo, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Night of Navy. The DSP is SU's Certainly Celery. The memories sentiment is from "Define your Life" it was stamped in Night of Navy, I then colored the stamp from "Of the Earth" with my SU markers, huffed on it and stamped over the sentiment. The Sharing in your Sorrow sentiment is from the set "Thought and Prayers" and the branch on the inside is also from this set. The butterfly and inside sentiment is from "Ann-ticipations"

It is my favorite Sympathy verse.

The inside was cut with the "Top Note Die" from SU,

I use it quite often when the card is dark.

2010-07-11T13:44:00.003-05:00

This card is a MOJO Monday Sketch, # 142. The colors are Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, and Pumpkin Pie. The DSP is my new all time favorite "Greenhouse Gala"

2010-07-11T13:21:00.002-05:00

I've been on a "Friends Never Fade" binge, I am really loving the new releases from Stampin' Up. I was anxious about the new color change. It's been the biggest one since I've been a demonstrator. But now that I have all the new colors and have purged my files and stamp pads, I am really loving the change. Looking back into previous catalogs, I realize it was definately needed. !! I think it's the best release yet. I'm hoping to get a Stamping Up blog going so ya'll can link to SU from here.

OK for the card above I used the new Crumb Cake (Kraft) and Night of Navy. The DSP is from BD Designs which is no longer in business :((

I wanted to add some posting with these cards, seems I never have time to do all parts of my posting at one time. I see and read this thru out all my friends blogs. But I'm not whining, I want to make a comment about all of us "paper bloggers". We are fantastic, creative women. We have busy schedules whether we're stay at home moms, care takers of our own moms & dads, work outside the home, care for our grandchildren, care for our husbands, or all of these things plus more. We are amazing ladies... and yes some gentlemen, to find some time to do this creative thing we all love. So hang in there, keep creating and know that you are loved and encouraged!!!

Below and maybe above....he-he, so hard to be able to type where I want to...

All these latest cards are made from the Stampin" Up set " A Flower for All Seasons" I had stamped the design several months ago, colored them with SU markers, cut them out with spellbinders scalloped squares and set them aside in my craft room. One day I decided to do something with them. I made all these cards without sentiments. I did this on purpose so I can add the sentiment I need at the time the card is needed. So often I have the card made, but the sentiment is wrong. Thought this might work out.

VALENTINE'S CARDS

I cased this card from Wendy Weixler, also know as Wendy Bell on SCS.

Her blog is listed below as "Wickedly Wonderful Creations" please check out her work

Base CS is retired SU pink pirouette, embossed with a cuttlebug heart embossing folder

Next layer is SU brushed silver (very nice paper)

Then SU whisper white, embossed with SU texture plate

Ribbon is SU taffeta basic gray, ribbon slide from making Memories

Stamp is from retired set, "Heart Flutters", and I embossed it with silver embossing powder

layered with SU pink pirouette, and bravo burgundy

The L for Love stamp is from the set "Ever After" and it is available.

This card is very similar to the one above, just minor differences. The background is cut from retired Stampin' Up, DSP Parisian Summer, using the SU Top Note Die

The lacy border is punched on both sides with a Martha Stuart punch

I really like how this card turned out.

Retired SU Pink Pirouette card stock for the base, then retired SU Baja Breeze

The stamps are SU "Baroque Motifs" the curly background under the hearts.This is such a versatile stamp, so far I've used it for Halloween background, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now Valentine cards.

And the sentiment is in the Sale-A-Bration set, I just love these curly sentiments

Stampin' Up has introduced clear stamps this year, and I am loving using them. No problem what-so-ever. Same fine quality as the wood mounted sets. Cost is less, and they come in their own storage cassette. I don't know about you but I'm running out of storage room, soooooo

I will buy all clear sets that are offered from now on.

Aren't these vintage children so very cute!!!

They are from Daisyd's and are peeking

out of a SU die cut "Scallop Envelope".

I cut it from of double sided card stock.

DSP's are also Daisyd's

With love is from a cuttlebug embossing folder

This is my favorite so far, I just love this new little bird punch from Stampin' Up!!

It is available in the new Mini Occasions catalog.

The punch punches out the bird, her wing, and the branch she's sitting on.

I believe you are going to see lots of these little birds. :))

Card stock base is SU's bravo burgundy,

and I used the SU embossing folder "Petals a Plenty".

It was offered in the Holiday Mini that expired on Jan 4, 2010

I hope they will bring it back in next years catalog.

DSP is retired "Parisian Summer"

And the sentiment is from a current SU set "A Happy Heart"

I used SU's "Scallop Circle Punch" and then SU's 1 3/8" circle punch,

and the 1" circle punch for the sentiment.

I hope you enjoy these Valentine's Cards and they inspire you to make some as well.

I plan to get a few more made tomorrow. So come back soon.

Thanks so much for looking!!!! Blessings, Denise

"It's Snow Time"

I've cleaned and re-organized my studio for the new year, packed away all the Christmas stamps, and embelishments. I have gotten out my Valentine's Stamps and am now working on them. This was one of my lst Christmas Cards that I sent to my good friend and downline Angie. I thought I had posted it, but oh well, I'm still in the Christmas Spirit. Haven't taken my tree down yet and may wait another week. It's tall...9 ft... and slender...wish I was!!!!, and sits in the corner of the living room, out of the way. So with the temps in the teens, and snow still on the ground I think I'll enjoy it just a little while longer.

Happy New Year to All!!!!

Delightful Decorations

(116517 21.95 set of 7)

This is my new favorite set from Stampin' Up's

Holiday Mini Catalog

SU also has a new punch in this catalog,

called Ornament 116794(15.95)which punches these

ornaments out. It is so much

fun and goes soooooo fast to stamp, punch, and place

on your card. There are 4 ornaments, one is

a to-from so it would make a great tag for your

Christmas packages. It also has 3 other little stamps for

decorations. I used some borders from a retired

Christmas Simply Scrappin set.

I used the Soft Suede cardstock again, and

Christmas Cocoa DSP. The ornament is stamped

with Real Red, and "Punched out!!! Ribbon is from the Holiday Mini catalog too.

Called Mistletoe 116792

I waited and waited before I ordered the Baroque Motifs Stampin' Up set, now I wonder why. I have used it over and over. It makes a great background for so many things. Doesn't it look like these pumpkins are growing right out of the pumpkin patch???? I can just hear The Fairy Godmother saying "Bippty....boppity....boo....!!!!" and turning these pumpkins into Cinderella's Coach.

Stamps Baroque Motifs 113490 and the sentiment is from the Hostess set Holiday Best, this has also been the best little set of sentiments. The sentiment is stamped on a border from SU retired Label Classics, then cut out and popped up.

Lovely As A Tree

Don't you just love this set. Stampin' Up "Lovely as aTree" It is so versatile. These trees can be any season you want them to be! I embossed the trees with several colors of Adirondack EP: Clay, Butterscotch, Ginger, & Moss.

I used a Martha Stuart border punch for the leaves on the bottom. Papers are retired Stampin' Up DSP "Autumn Vine" The little leaves on the sentiment came from the punched out ones. Sentiment is from the "Great Friend" set.

Background gold is from the new "In Colors' Crushed Curry.

2009-12-04T12:26:00.002-06:00

Great Friend

I really enjoyed making this card. I received a thank you card with this pattern and decided I could make it. I used the Great Friend 113792 set from Stampin' Up, and black, ivory, and a light green. I had some different black & ivory DSP so I covered the insides with that. You can see my pattern in the following posts. I cut out the sentiment and popped it up with some Stampin' dimensionals. Hope you enjoy it too.

See the next posts for the lay-out and inside.

Well as you can tell I've been working on Halloween cards. I've always loved Halloween. When Ron and I were first married we had an annual Halloween Party. It was loads of fun. We decorated to the hilt and even had a haunted house one year. We have a long mountain road and Ron would decorate all up and down the road. Some times tombstones and hanging men, other times with Berma Shave signs. One year we had a 40-50's theme party. Some wore their father's WWII uniforms, others wore poodle skirts. We even had an Elvis and Annette Funicello. (Ron made a great Annette). We've had ET and Rubic's Cubes, Shieks and MASH characters, the entire Fruit-of -the-loom group, and one year we had 2 pregnant nuns...........so many creative costumes. So Halloween always brings back memories of my early marriage and youth. Hope ya'll enjoy these cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

Hi again,

These are Stampin' Ups new In Color papers. They coordinate with the polka dot ribbon. Inks and markers are also available in these colors. That's what I love about SU, all paper, inks ribbon, etc match. It really produces a professional card. And takes out a lot of quesswork. Giving you more time to make your cards. You're not pondering for hours which ribbon to use with which paper, or what colors go with which DSP Paper. Stampin" Up does that for you.

This is the second card I made for the "Card Pouch". I also made 4 of these. 8 Cards is the perfect amount to fill the pouch.

This card is used in my card pouch, I made 4 of them with different sentiments on each card. Pretty quick and easy. I plan to make several sets as gifts...

8-27-09 Day one on my new blog. It's Thursday and as I work 4 days a week it's my "Friday" AHHHH!!!!!!! now that feels good, I can sleep late tomorrow. Since I'm over 50, I don't think I am suddenly going to turn into a morning person. I'm excited about sharing my love of rubber stamping with the cyber folks out there. I've been blog hopping for several months and there is so much creativity. It's wonderful to be able to see everyone's ideas, fabulous cards, & photos, I especially enjoy new puppies and flowers, and the snow in the upper mid-west is fun to see from afar!! :)

Well it's off to cook supper and maybe tomorrow I will learn how to upload some of my cards.

ta-ta for now. Necie
