Smooches

Happy Sunday! I hope these bright colors don't blind you this morning, at the least they should wake you up!

This is a little project I made for some young girls and these are little lipgloss holders. I used Pink cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and scored at 2.5 and 3 inches. I then embossed the front with the cuttlebug folders ( hearts, swiss dots and paisley).

The image is Tilda with ladybug from Magnolia that I just used a portion of the image. I have gotten to do this more often as I think it allows me to feel like I am using a different stamp and it also lets you highlight certain areas of the stamp- I might challenge you to choose a stamp today and try this- it is fun! I colored her with my copic markers and then used a couple scalloped edge square punches.

Kelly has them on order and they'll be in stock very soon, as well as the matching Basic Grey Lemonade brads. Along with the Lemonade collection, she has the new June Bug paper and woolies coming as well!! I haven't seen the June Bug paper up close but my sister has and she says it's soo CUTE! This stamp is one of my faves called Precious Moments, by Sarah Kay, which is in stock right now.

Summer! Summer! Summertime!!

I love summer!!! Don't you? Of course, I could do without the gnats and mosquitoes...they can be ultra aggravating!!! Still, I love the sunshine and the outdoors:o) All I want to do is "play" in the yard. Too bad I can't do cartwheels and backflips...a little TOO bottom heavy for that...hahaha!!! I'd probably break something important;o)

Today's card was supposed to go out last Friday, but computer issues put a halt to that. So, here it is today. I was super, duper thrilled to receive this sweet Lily Day at the Beach stamp and had to ink her up right away!!! Isn't she a sweetheart?!? I adore her:o) She reminds me of my niece, Cheyenne, when she was younger. If you like her as much as I do, you can still snatch her up at KL Stampin n' Scrappin for the low price of $5.99...while other popular online stores are selling her for $7.99-$9.99. I don't know about you, but I would much rather get two of the soon-to-be retired stamps for almost the same price as one. I colored Lily with my Prisma markers and added a touch of gloss and sparkle to her and her sand pails. I braided some hemp twine, and the adorable, little shovel charm was gifted to me from Kelly. I love how it adds to the precious stamp:o) THANK YOU, KELLY!!!! A super, simple card to hopefully brighten the day of a dear friend:o)

Don't forget to to keep your eyes peeled for the deets on the upcoming blog hop or to play along in the July challenge at PCP. Oh...the new Basic Grey paper pads~ Lemonade and June Bug~ are on their way too!!! Have a GREAT weekend, and enjoy your summertime!!!!

Hugs!

Color Challenge Birthday Set

Posted by Jessica G.

July's KLSNS challenge on Papercraft Planet is to use the colors light blue, red, and chocolate on a card or project. One of the inspiration cards is the 'A Little Birdie Told Me' Edwin card I made a few weeks back (you can see it HERE), so you know I love this color combo! In fact, I decided to expand on the theme and make a few more items so that I would have a full birthday gift set to send to a very special friend with an upcoming birthday. Here's the complete set:

Stamps: Magnolia 'Tilda with Tag' and Strawberry Sweet sentiment. Carstock: Textured Real Red, Bashful Blue Pattern Prints, Chocolate Chip, Paper Bouquet Felted Flowers DP, Papertrey White. Ink: Memento Black, Copics. Accessories: Oval and Circle Nestabilities, SU scallop border punch, raffia, chocolate brads, Basic Grey rub-ons.

The Gatefold card is actually a folder with an added pocket on the inside to hold images from the latest Magnolia stamp releases:

Be sure to let Kelly know if you are interested in any of the latest Magnolia collection so she can place them on her pre-order list!

The little box is actually a Ghiradelli box (tutorial HERE). Even as much as I love chocolate, I didn't think mailing it in 90 degree weather was a great idea, so I substituted some hard caramel candies instead:

Hope you enjoy this color combo and much as I do! Be sure to upload your creations to the Papercraft Planet July challenge thread for your chance to win a stamp of your choice from the KLSNS store and other goodies, too!

Jumpin Joeys

Do you know anyone that is expecting?! This adorable stamp with the mama kangaroo and little joeys made me think of an expecting mama and of course . . . Congratulations would definitely make a really good sentiment to go with this image, so with these two stamps in mind, a cute little baby rattle charm and the colors from SplitCoastStampers CC225, this card was born. :)

Now, I am really in need of some birthday cards that should have been sent out last week, but this was the one that came to life this evening when I was in the mood to create. lol


The stamp is called Jump Into My Pouch from Rachelle Anne Miller's collection that Stampavie is retiring, so get it while you can at KL Stampin N Scrappin. The colors for the color challenge CC225 were Night of Navy, So Saffron and Kraft. I didn't have kraft, so I went with a piece from the Porcelain paper pack by BasicGrey. It has shades of soft yellow in it that I thought would work well. It was then pressed in the d'vine swirls embossing folder and layered on Night of Navy. The image was colored with prismacolor pencils, blended with Gamsol and sparkled up a bit with Stickles on the swirsl and flowers. Then it was cut out with my Nesties oval small set and layered on a scalloped oval set (still available at KLSNS). The sentiment is from a retiring SU set called Hugs and Wishes (as I just never seem to get enough sentiment stamps to go with all of my Magnolias, C.C. Designs, Sarah Kays, Lelos, and RAM stamps).

Although the colors got weird in this closeup. I was trying to get you a better picture of the baby rattle. Hard to see with a bright light on shiny silver. But I think these cute little charms are just darling, and Kristie is selling them over at http://www.hannastamps.com/ right now at 50% off! They make great embellishments to go with our stamps at KL Stampin N Scrappin!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for an upcoming challenge and blog hop coming SOON!

Birthday Wishes Dragon

Sorry I'm so late posting today. Unfortnately, my grandma passed away early on Friday morning. Plus, it was mine and Brent's one year anniversary yesterday. So my holiday weekend has been hectic.

I'm lucky to have today off, so I'm trying to get caught up on everything. I used my brand new Basic Grey June Bug paper for this card and paired it with Stampavie's Dragon Flower stamp. Lastly, he's colored in with Copic Markers.


I hope you all had a great and safe 4th of July! Enjoy your Monday!
