Well...check you out.

I was playing around in my craft room this afternoon and decided to give this weeks cue word over at Casology a try.

The cue word is Story.

I chose a stamp set by Unity for my card, called "Well...check you out."

I figured the library card fit perfectly with the "story" cue.

I placed my stamped image over some brown card stock and binder paper patterned paper. Then added a arrow brad for fun.

Supplies used: card stock - vanilla, brown; patterned paper is a scrap from my stash; stamps - Well...check you out by Unity; ink - Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Tim Holtz for Ranger; metal arrow - 7 Gypsies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Share The Dirt

I'd like to share a card with you that I made for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge blog.

This week they had a sketch for their challenge.

For my card I chose to use the Green Thumb stamp set by Paper Smooches.

To make my sun I used the negative image of a sun die cut from the Silhouette Studio store. After masking part of the card with it I used a sponge blending tool to apply first Barely Banana on the whole sun, than YoYo Yellow and then a little bit of Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.

Supplies used: card stock - white, 2 shades of brown; patterned papers - Bitty Dot Basics by Papertrey Inc. and a scrap from my stash; stamps - Green Thumb by Paper Smooches; inks - Jet Black Archival; Barely Banana and YoYo Yellow by Stampin' Up, Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink by Tim Holtz for Ranger; Copic Marker; Clear Glitter Glue.

Grab Life By The Beans

They had an interesting sketch over at Case This Sketch this week.

It was a challenge for me, which is good. I need to stretch my creative mojo!

After looking at the sketch for quite some time I decided to do some masking on my card and then went for a fun stamp set by Paper Smooches called Cyber Cafe because I love the little coffee beans stamp. Oh, ok, I love the whole stamp set.

I stamped one of the little coffee cups and then fussy cut it out and popped it up on the card for just a little dimension.

Supplies: card stock - white; patterned paper was a scrap from my stash; stamps - Cyber Cafe by Paper Smooches; ink - Jet Black Archival and Vintage Photo Distress Ink; Pop Dots.

Supplies used: Card stock - white, patterned papers Citrus Bliss 6 X 6 paper pad by Pink Paislee; chipboard stickers in Citrus Bliss collection by Pink Paislee; sequins - my stash; Pop Dots.

Wedding Card

I wanted to play this week in the challenge over at Casology.


The cue word this week is Wedding.

I have to admit I pretty much cased a card I saw on Pinterest from the Splitcoast Stampers Board. Just loved the simplicity and elegance of it.

I used a couple of stamps and die from Paper Smooches.  For the glasses I used Free Spirits stamp set and Free Spirits Icons Wise Dies. For the sentiment I used Sentiment Sampler.

I also used Fancy Labels #4 Framelits by Sizzix.

Supplies used: card stock - recycled white, white glitter; stamps - Paper Smooches Free Spirits and Sentiment Sampler; dies - Paper Smooches Free Spirits Icons and Sizzix Fancy Labels #4; Gold Glitter; Pop Dots.

Thanks for taking a look!!
