Oct 15, 2012 | Birthday, Cards |
Sorry for not posting in a few days. We have been having trouble with our internet connection and it was out most of Monday so I didn’t get this posted sooner. But on the bright side our landscape project is almost done.
Here is a cute card for you today. This card idea came from Sandy Hancock – it was one she had at her group meeting at convention. And I recreated a similar version for my Paper Piercing class last month. But you may be asking why was this part of that class since there is no piercing on it. Well I used the piercing template with the Stampin’ Write marker to add the red dots around the edge of the card.
I also used masking on here for the balloons. I thought it was a really cute card and would be fun in other colors too. The little hearts are from the 2-step owl punch. And I tied little baker’s twine bows to add at the base of the balloons. The stamp set is Up, Up, and Away. Colors are Daffodil delight, Pacific Point and Real Red.
Thanks Sandy for the cute idea.
I’m way behind on sending out birthday cards – yikes I need to get some out in the mail.

Good Morning! It looks like its going to be a beautiful Saturday. I hope you are doing something fun today. I’m going to go see my parents – yeah! It’s been a busy week with stamp club, MDS digi crop, a private card class, the consignment sale and our big landscaping project started. Lots of workers, trucks and equipment have been here the past few days and will continue next week – I can’t wait to see it all done. Ryan is headed to a band competition so I need to make sure he is already here shortly. Another busy day.
Here is a layout you could use to scrapbook a busy day, or a leisurely day – I think I’m going to use it for one of the days in my Hilton Head trip – the day we rode the bikes. The idea behind this layout is that you have photos from throughout the day of things that you did (or do each day). It can be a special day or an ordinary day. On the photos you would have a number representing the time of day – an 8, then 12 for noon, 2 for 2 pm, etc. I haven’t added any pictures so I don’t have my numbers on here but they are cut in Midnight Muse like the little heart by the title.
Here is the detail of the bike –

It’s a new challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. And for this week I made a celebration card!
This week we are working with a color Challenge –
This was a quick card that just kind of popped out of nowhere.
I think I still have the single stamps on my mind. I used another one this week – the Celebrate image from the Seasonal Sayings set in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. From there I started adding layers. Then I thought it needed a spritz of color – so I took out the color spritzer tool and added some spritz. Which then made me think it kind of look like it could be fireworks. So I think this would be really cute as a red, white and blue card but since it isn’t the colors that I was working with this is maybe a birthday celebration card or for some milestone or accomplishment.
I added the stamped/punched stars and then got the bright idea to add the frayed ribbon to make it look like shooting stars! So lets celebrate and go create!
Stampin’ Up! Supplies:
- Stamps: Seasonal Sayings, Merry Minis
- Ink: Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Markers
- Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Summer Starfruit, Very Vanilla
- Accessories: Color Spritzer, Summer Starfruit Ribbon, Gumball Green Ribbon, Chocolate Chip Polka Dot ribbon, Merry Minis Punch Pack, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Visit Create with Connie & Mary and submit your creation for this weeks challenge – each week 3 top creations are selected. Each challenge is open for a week. Have fun with these colors. I think they work well for masculine cards.

Hi!
Sorry about the lack of creativity for the last several days. There just wasn’t enough time in the day to get it all done. But here is a cute project that I made for a scrapbook retreat I went to on Saturday. This was one of the Make & Takes that they could create at my table. The other was the 6×6 scrapbook page I showed last week.
This was inspired from an email advertisement that came from one of those craft stores. And this was a quick and easy project to make.
Whisper White card stock – 8-1/2″ long and 3-1/2″ wide. Score at 4″, 6″, 10″ (that should be right – you can adjust to make the base smaller if you want). The top flap is punched with the scallop border punch and stamped with the bats from Googly Ghouls. Add a strip of the Houndstooth & Herringbone Designer Series paper on the side. First I stamped the Boooo on the bottom of the front panel then punched with the wide oval punch. Add googly eyes on top. Fill a cello bag with candy (I did use the small cello bags that Stampin’ Up! used to sell – I’m not sure why we stopped carrying the smaller sized bag) then staple the bag between the front and back and the flap over the top. I even had Orange staples!
Gotta go….
