I {heart} You

T.G.I.F. Crafters,

I hope your day is getting off to a fantabulous start!!  As I am writing this at 1 AM, I am unsure of how the day will begin.  I know that rain is on the way and am thankful for that fact.  It is still very dry around here and we can always use rain here in Texas.

I have a bright card to share with you today.  The stark contrasts between Whisper White and Basic Gray are striking along with the pops of Melon Mambo and Pacific Point.  I hope you enjoy the look as much as I do.

Happy Big Day!

Hello Crafters,

Can you believe that it is Thursday?  I sure am amazed at how the time flies at the crafting table.  I have been playing with ink and paper for quite a few hours today.  It has been good to just play around and not have a deadline in mind.

I made two cards with the Chalk Talk stamp set and Framelits.  I really enjoy working with the All Abloom DSP stack.  It is so versatile and pretty.  Just the thing for today's cards.

I love the color pink, so Blushing Bride made the perfect base for this arrangement.  The Strawberry Slush Thick Baker's Twine really makes it pop!

Stamp set:  Chalk Talk (Wood #130631 or Clear #130634)
Paper:  Blushing Bride (#131198), Mossy Meadow (#133676), Pistachio Pudding (#131294), Strawberry Slush (#131295), Whisper White (#100730) and All Abloom (#133703)
Ink:  Pistachio Pudding (#131177) and Strawberry Slush (#131178), 2013-2015 In Color Stampin' Write Markers (Strawberry Slush) (#131260)
Misc:  Chalk Talk Framelits (#129983), Strawberry Slush Thick Baker's Twine (#135637), Banner punch (#133519) and Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)

I had stamped the centerpiece of this card and knew that I had to work with Island Indigo and Pistachio Pudding.  This was just too much fun playing around with all the colors and shapes.

Stamp set:  Chalk Talk (Wood #130631 or Clear #130634)
Paper:  Daffodil Delight (#119683), Island Indigo (#122923), Pistachio Pudding (#131294), Whisper White (#100730) and All Abloom (#133703)

Christmas Cracker

It's me again.  This is the last post for today.  Clearing off my stamping desk for the third time today.  Whew, lots of stamping, cutting and gluing ... so much fun!

I played around with the Envelope Punch Board and the Simply Scored Scoring Tool today.  I enjoy working with these tools.  If you don't have one shop with me HERE and get yours today.

I used a DSP stack (4.5" x 6.5") as the base.  It was the perfect size for a 'Cracker.'  We put these at each place setting at Christmas.  They can also be laid on the branches of the Christmas tree or hung with a small adjustment in ribbon placement.  I found lots of videos on You Tube for different Christmas Crackers, but I followed the video by The Crafty Owl UK.  Here are the details on my cracker:

Stamp set:  Christmas Tagables (#134623)
Paper:  Baked Brown Sugar (#131296), Old Olive (#100702), Real Red (#102482) and Moonlight DSP (#133701)
Ink:  Real Red (#126949)
Misc:  Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon (#119251), Hearts a Flutter Framelits (#130159), Envelope Punch Board (#133774), Simply Scored Scoring Tool (#122334), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) and Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)
