Flurry of Wishes, Tin of Tags, Be Jolly By Golly Quick and Easy Card!

This card was made for this weeks Picture Inspiration Challenge at Stampin' Royalty! 
Here is the Picture Inspiration! So pretty!


This one is super quick and easy! (i might even make a video tutorial for this one!)
I have used the swiping technique before, and i wanted to make a color wash background with Pool Party, then after that dried, i stamped the main snowflake and sentiment with Real Red. 
I added a few little snowflakes in Pool Party, some red sequins, and a rhinestone for the main snowflake. i gave it another quick simple wash with my Wink of Stella Glimmer Pen, and layered the whole thing....
These would be great for easy mass producing! 

Supplies:
Stamps - Flurry of Wishes, Be Jolly By Golly, Tin of Tags
Cardstock - Real Red, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink - Pool Party, Real Red
Accessories - Brights Sequins, Rhinestones, Wink of Stella Glimmer Pen

Embellished Ornaments Gifts Card




It's funny how some of the best things happen unexpectedly!
I had just returned from a last minute week long trip, and needed to come up with the Stampin' Royalty challenge right away, as i was too busy while i was gone to get it done, but when i saw this picture inspiration, it luckily didn't take me long to come up with a design! maybe it was the time crunch pressure? haha...
I was inspired by the gifts in the main part of the picture... so pretty! 
I liked making this card because i was able to use SCRAPS!! woohoo!! that always makes me happy!
It's pretty straight forward, i used the Holly Berry Builder Punch for the bows, and just layered everything. I think i'm gonna make a lot more to send out for Christmas! 



Supplies:
Stamps - Embellished Ornaments
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Tip Top Paupe
Ink - Early Espresso
Accessories - Holly Berry Builder Punch, Gold Glimmer Paper, Sparkle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Cookie Cutter Christmas, Tin of Tags, Glitter Card


Here is my card for the All That Glitters Challenge at Stampin' Royalty this week!

This card took me entirely too long to figure out haha.... But i do like the end result.

We actually had a little challenge for our local stamping group, where we were all given the same 3 items (in this case, the stamped Eskimo image, the rope twine, and a strip of Designer Series Paper) and we were to take it home and create something with it, then share a picture on our group page.

I tried several different versions, and after a few hours, arrived at this card.
I typically would have shied away from these colors and would never have thought to use Delightful Dijon in a Christmas card, but behold! Stranger things have happened, i suppose!

I also incorporated Glitter for the Stampin' Royalty Challenge. There is glitter on his coat, and also highlighting the snowflake background stamping. Hard to see it in this photo, but looks really nice in person :o)


Supplies:
Ink - Delightful Dijon
Cardstock - Delightful Dijon, Basic Gray
Stamps - Cookie Cutter Christmas, Tin of Tags, Be Jolly By Golly
Accessories - Kraft Rope Trim, Warmth and Cheer DSP Stack, Rose Garden Thinlits, Gold Glitter

Little Moments, Made With Love Baby Card

Little babies are always a reason to celebrate!
We recently got an adorable bunny as a pet, and this little bunny stamp reminded me of him, so i decided to use it to make a card! 
This card is mostly layering, i embossed the large Mint Macaron panel, and th hearts paper is from the Little Moments Project Life Accessory Pack, which is a great way to use the supplies from the Project Life Kits! Very versatile!
The wooden star also comes from that kit. 
I basically stamped the bunny, then gave him a light 'shadow' around his body to help bring him off the page a bit, and colored his ear and nose pink. 



Supplies:
Cardstock-Smoky Slate, Mint Macaron, Whisper White
Ink-Smoky Slate, Mint Macaron
Stamps-Made With Love 
Accessories-Little Moments Project Life Accessory Pack, Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder

Sheltering Tree, Wetlands One Layer Card



It's a one layer card, pretty easy to make...
I first began by sponging the background colors in a 'sunset' and grass pattern, then i added the tree, and used the small 'leaf' or 'flower' stamp from the Sheltering Tree set in different colors to make the fall leaves, then added Wink of Stella Gold Shimmer to the stamped leaves to give it some sparkle! 
Lastly, i added the rake and the "Thinking of You" to finish it off! 

Easy peasy!



Supplies:
Ink- Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Delightful Dijon, 
Tip Top Taupe, soft Suede
Stamps - Sheltering Tree, Wetlands

Foxy Friends, Labeler Alphabet Hello Card


The theme at Stampin' Royalty this week is a Color Challenge!

Here are the colors!

For this one, i was finally able to use my Foxy Friends stamp set for the first time! This set is one of the most adorable I've ever seen! you can make so many different critters with it! For this one, i made a little woodland fox who came to say hello!
I used the Woodgrain embossing folder to emboss the Tip Top Taupe piece for the background panel, then stamped the trees in Pear Pizzazz, 'stamping off' the first time for the largest  tree, then full ink strength for the second tree, then stamped again on a scrap piece, then cut out that tree...

On another scrap piece of Very Vanilla, i stamped the fox, the stump, the mushrooms and the sentiment letters, then either cut them out or punched them out, then created this scene. i added some strips of Early Espresso to finish off the look of the card


Supplies:
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Tip Top Taupe, Early Espresso
Ink - Pear Pizzazz, Tip Top Taupe, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler
Stamps - Labeler Alphabet, Foxy Friends
Accessories - Woodgrain Textured Embossing Folder, Fox Builder Punch

Rose Wonder, Seaside Sympathy Card





This card was made for the Anything Goes Challenge at Stampin' Royalty this week!
I made several Sympathy cards for an order that i needed to fill.
For this one, i used Sahara Sand cardstock and Crumb Cake ink, highlighted the shells using a White Chalk Marker, and lowlighted using the Crumb Cake and a Blender Pen. 
I then used a sponge to create a mottled 'sand' effect on the panel, dabbing it between the shells. I also spattered white and crumb cake on the panel for even more visual texture.

After stamping and coloring, i ran the panel through my Big Shot using the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  

The sentiment and frame stamp is from the Rose Wonder set.


Supplies:

Ink - Crumb Cake, Basic Black
Cardstock - Sahara Sand Very Vanilla
Stamps - Rose Wonder, Seaside
Accessories - Eyelets, Twine, White Chalk Marker, Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Rose Wonder, Swirly Bird, a Little Foxy Card


This weeks Stampin' Royalty Challenge is a 
Picture Inspiration Challenge!
Here is the picture i was inspired by!


Love the colors, patterns,everything! (and hey, there's cake!)
This one was actually pretty easy...
I just layered cardstock and patterned paper from the A Little Foxy DSP Stack, then stamped a single image from the Swirly Bird set on a Whisper White panel, then stamped the same image on a strip of white paper. I will probably make a tutorial very soon on how i lined it up. 
Then i stamped a sentiment on top of it and used Dimensionals to pop it up.
I created borders using the Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape and circles punched out of Smoky Slate cardstock and glued in a line. to finish it off i tied some Calypso Coral Bakers Twine (retired) around it! There are lots of substitutes you can use for the bakers twine, since that particular one is retired.


Supplies:
Stamps -  Rose Wonder, Swirly Bird
Ink - Smoky Slate, Calypso Coral, Basic Gray
Cardstock - Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Whisper White, Smoky Slate
Accessories - A Little Foxy DSP Stack, small circle punch, Calypso Coral Bakers Twine (retired), Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape, Project Life by Stampin' Up Corner Rounder

Stamping Marathon!










Every so often i will go into my craft room and try to use as many scraps, retired, or lonely misc. products that I've had lying around the room forever as i can,  so they do not feel unloved ;o)
About a week ago, i spent a good part of the day doing just that, and i was able to get several cards made in the process. i made duplicates of all of these cards, so that took a good amount of time as well, some i made 2, some i made 8, depending on how much of each product i had. 

I thought i would share them here and hopefully give you some inspiration!

Giggle Greetings Z-Fold Card




I took a simple approach to my card this week....we'll pretend that it WASN'T because i ran out of time..... ;o)

oh, ok, so truth be told, that WAS the reason haha... however, once again, this shows that not only can you make a simple but cute card, even when short on time, but also when you don't have a lot of supplies! 

I basically cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock in half vertically, to create a 4 1/4 x 11 piece, then scored it at 5 1/2, then again at  2 3/4 on one side. that creates your Z-fold.  I then just cut some squares, stamped and colored, then i added washi tape from the Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape set, and a panel of white on the inside, cut so that it is hidden .  I added black bakers twine under the image panel, just enough so that it wraps around the card and can be tied when closed. 


Supplies: 
Stamps - Giggle Greetings
Cardstock - Basic Black, Whisper White, Real Red, Wild Wasabi
Accessories - Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape, Black Bakers Twine, Blender Pen.
