Monochromatic Whimsy Challenge 30

Hey there my friends...it's time for another Whimsy challenge this week! We are challenging you to create a monochromatic card! Pick one color and some neutrals and go to town! I went with an easel card...don't know how to make one of those? Come on over to the SNR Card Universe Whimsy Stamps group and check out our tutorial...chat with us and keep your eyes peeled for a change to win free stamps from time to time!

Here is my card!

I really like this little girl! Her name is Pajama Time Emma and she is just darling...really reminds me of my sweet daughter Isabella...Anwyho I choose to go with Ruby red as my main color and chocolate chip as an accent. I also used my nesties labels 9 to create my border.

The sentiment is from an MFT set called Isabella Paper doll greetings and I think it's super cute! Might send it to my niece, although my daughter has already claimed it as her own! So we will see!

Join us will you! We would love to see your monochromatic cards as well!

Supplies:

Stamps:Pajama time Emma by Whimsy Stamps

Paper:

Ink:

Accessories: baubles, basic grey buttons, linnen thread, glue dots, nesties labels 9, scallop border punch, water color pencils, blender pen

Recycled Little Paper Shop a Sketch challenge {11-30-09}

Little Paper Shop Monday is upon us and Little Paper Shop has a sweet little card set for you! This weeks LPSC40 challenge is to make a card using a previous sketch challenge to create a holiday themed card. I choose to go with one of Cindy's sketches because I think it's super cute! So I made a little gift set! It's a Thankful card set...and since Thanksgiving was just this last week I thought it was appropriate! I know you want to play along! This weeks FAB prize is the {I Heart} set...you sooo need this in your collection!
Here is my little card portfolio...super easy to make! This little card set is going out as a Thanksgiving day gift to my sons teacher...I was slacking a little before Thanksgiving! Been a little busy! I love the tree from the {Chirp} set and the sentiment is from the {Topiary} set.


This little card portfolio is super easy to make! All you do is take a pice of 8.5 x 11 piece of cardstock and fold it in half at the 5.5 inch mark. Rotate your paper around and score again at the 2.5 inch mark. Now fold the portfolio at the 5.5 inch side and cut from the score mark to the end to make the nice even V shape in the middle. Clear as mud right? open back up and fold flaps up, use your crop-a-dial to punch holes and set the eyelets...voila, card portfolio complete!

And here is a pic of the 4 cards. They are simple, but still cute! You can hardly see the versamark trees but they are there!

Supplies:

Stamps:{Chirp} and {Topiary} by Little Paper Shop

Ink:versamark, stazon black, ruby red

Paper:ruby red, basic grey indian summer, very vanilla

Accessories: Crop-a-dial, eyelets, ribbon, scor-tape, prima flowers, buttons

If you need more inspiration with this sketch please check out LPSC25 blog post when the sketch was origionally placed. Lots of gorgeousness there!

Thank you sooo much for stopping by! Have a blessed day!

Each of the favors had a tea cup and saucer, tea bag of assorted decaf tea, candy necklace, a little ring and earing stickers. The boys had chocolate coins and boyish stickers in theirs. I think the favors turned out cute and I already had a boy tell me he used his tea cup! YEAHHH!!!

Hey there my lovely friends! First and foremost I would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! I thank the forefathers of America for their vision for a freedom of religion!

I have been wanting to try a candy bar ribbon slide for quite some time (even confiscated a candy bar from the kids trick or treating basket and stashed it!) and now I had the chance to do it...I think it turned out super cute and I'm going to give it to one of the guys at the gate of the base...might make a few more, they were super fast and are super cute and make a nice little gift for the guys and gals here that help make this place safe for us all!

And here is my project! Super fabby fab!

Really it took me less than 15 minutes to make this lovely little boy! Hmmm maybe I'll make a little tutorial for these little guys! With different measurements for different candy bars! LOL I think I'm getting ambitious! I already have another tutorial I'm working on, so please be on the lookout for that! P.S. The tag reads Holiday Blessings.

Here is the ribbon slide open.

Not Stamped, but still yummy!

Today, for the very first time in my entire life, I made mashed potatoes...you know the kind NOT out of the box...and boy were they yummy!!! I actually made garlic mashed potatoes and I think what made them super yummy is the fact that I roasted my own garlic...and this is what the delectable yumminess looked like when it was done roasting!

Ohhh Thank you Pioneer Woman Cooks for your delectable recipes! You are the bestest ever! I hope you enjoy looking at my yummy garlic...and trust me it was as good as it looks!

Have a wonderful day!

Many Blessings!

Whimsied Monday WSC29...

NOT A CARD!!! Todays Whimsy Stamps Blog challenge is to create something other than a card...I opted for an ornament...which I've been in the mood to make! So there you have it! LOL I hope you like it!


This little guy was super hard to take a pic of! I finally decided to just lay it flat on my counter and take a picture...Not the best, but not the worst. I totally need an OTT light!

Here is a little side view of it. I used the same DP that I used for the "wallpaper" and lined the side of the tin...looks sooo awesome, if I do say so myself! I stamped {Pajama Time Emma} on very vanilla using stazon black and then on Eskimo Kisses paper pad by Basic Grey/ cut it out and colored the sweet girl using water color pencils and a blender pen. I used a small piece of lace under the tree to look like a tree skirt. The tree itself was free cut and then embossed using the Swirls cuttlebug embossing folder. I love that folder, it was my first! I then added some pearls and crystals for the ornament and an eyelet for the topper.

The tree is up on dimentionals and {Pajama Time Emma} is up on 8 dimentionals stacked on top of each other for hight. The sentiment is {Katie Christmas} by Little Paper Shop.

Supplies:

Stamps: {Pajama Time Emma} by Whimsy stamps, sentiment {Katie Caroler} by Little Paper Shop

Ink: Stazon black

Paper: very vanilla, Desiger paper is Eskimo Kisses by Basic Grey

Accessories: crystals and pearls, star eyelets, glue dots, dimentionals, big shot, embossing folder, ribbon, crop-a-dial

I hope you play along with the WSC29 Challenge over at the Whimsy Stamps Blog...create something 3-D, you know you want to!

This project is also for the following challenges:

*Cute Daisy May- Texture

*Poly Craft- No Card Allowed

Let's Have a Tea Party...

My little Emelia is having a Tea Party for her 4th Birthday! My friend Nikki has the Sizzix retired teapot die...so I e-mailed Nikki (from Smells Like Homemade) and asked her is I could borrow it from her...She is the best so she said YES!!! We were very excited! Here are her invitations!


Emelia ran all the pretty paper through my bigshot herselt! I then cut all the pieces at the perforated sections and then she helped me glue the pieces back on...only 3 and already paper piecing! The paper we used is the Garden Party stack from Die cuts with a view Stephanie Hester from "My Card Shack" was generous enough to send me an incredibly amazing package this week and this paper pack was one of the things in it...along with many other amazing things. Girl you are amazing! THANK YOU so much!!!

Emelia fell in love with The Garden Party collection the minute I opened the box and said she wanted to use it for her invitations...she then went to my cardstock collection and picked rose red...which matched perfectly! This girl has an eye! I also got another package that had basic grey buttons and she asked if we could use those...I love vreating with her! He's too cute!

Here is the inside...Nikki had made an invitation with the tea pot last year and she had figured out all the proper placement...she was kind enough to e-mail me the template so all I had to do is insert my information! Thank you Nikki!!! You saved me a whole lot of trouble!

If you have this die and would like the word document for the wording please just e-mail me at mabieme1999@yahoo.com with "tea pot template" as the subject.

Supplies:
Stamps: None, the you're invited is computer generated
Ink: none
Paper: Garden party DP by Die Cuts with a view, rose red, green galore, very vanilla
Accessories: Basic grey buttons, linnen thread, glue dots, rode red ribbon, word window punch, heart punch, big shot, teapot die
