What;s on your desk?

Hello stampers.  I thought I would share what was on my desk yesterday.  It was a warm, beautiful day here in the western foothills of Maine, and I spent my afternoon playing with oink and papers.I did the tone on tone technique, laying ink color on to card stock of same color and then highlighting with a darker ink..

After coloring the stamped images and then piecing them together, here is what I had...

Now to create the cards..

I love being productive, creative, and I love to color...,

 On the card I used the Stampin' Up rectangle stitched dies.. #148551

base card is 5 and 1/2 by 11 scored at 5 and 1/2  and 2 and 3/4

 for mats, I used the rectangle dies...in the colors silted below

#150881 purple posy

I also used the 6x6 DSP In Color 2019/2021 in the purple posy

#149617

On the Purple Posy mat, I used the Embossing Buddy #103083,

to un static the Purple posy CS and then stamped the flower image with the

Gorgeous Grape ink pad #147099 and then I offset and then stamped with the versamark ink pad #102283, sprinkled on some white embossing powder #109132, and then heat set.

The next step was to ink the whole image with the Highland Heather ink #147103 and sponge#141337

next...start assemply...add double bow I mad with the new ribbon...3/8" Triple Color  #149708

For the Sentiment...I used the stamp set Sorry for Everything #151210

Tea Together and Grandma's House

Hello crafters.  What is on your crafty desk today??  I am popping in today to share what was on mine.

In the brand new Stampin' UP Annual catalog is this adorable stamp set dedicated to Grandma's.  I think that is just adorable!!  So I decided to make  a card for a new grandma.   I used Gorgeous Grape card stock # 146987, Highland Heather # 146986 and Whisper White # 100730 to create this card as well as the  Brights 6x6 DSP Gorgeous grape pattern paper. # 149613.

I started by making a 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2 base card and matted with the Designer Series paper cut at 4 by 5 and 1/4.

I then cut the smaller mats for the card as well.

I then took the Tea Together stamp set and heat embossed the tea pot and flower on to vellum paper with white embossing powder.. 

Tea Together stamp # 148779

white embossing powder#109132

before I glued the tea pot and flower on, I inked the back of them with 

Highland heather ink pad # 147103

 Granny Apple Green#147095

after gluing on, I had to pick out a sentiment..they are all super cute, don't you think??

Grandmas's House Stamp set #149392

I picked out the Rectangle Shapes Stitched dies # 148551 for the matting for the sentiment.. love the stitching,

then VOILA!!  Grandma's card ...love it!

Look Who's Hatched!

Hello crafters...how are you all doing??  I am popping on today to share a fun card with you using the Dino Days Bundle from Stampin' Up item # 151139.  

Below is the base of the card,  It is 5 and 1/2 by 11 and I scored it at 2 and 2/4 and at 5 and 1/2.

I then folded it as seen below, like as if I was going to do an easel card. but without the usual large mat.

So then I used 3 different color card stock..

Mint Macaron#138337

Old Olive #100702

Mossy Meadow# 133676

here are the  dimensions of the matting.

Below are the  different dies in the bundle...

 .

Below shows the adorable stamps included in the bundle.. by the way, you do not have to buy it as a bundle, but by doing so, you save 10%.

These are the inks I used..

Early Espresso #147114

Crushed Curry #147087

Mossy meadow # 147111

Mint macaron # 147106

Granny Apple Green # 147095

 look at these cute little die cuts !!!!

the last thing I did before I finished the assembly was to die cut some layered circles with the layering Circles die set # 141705

And Voila!!!

Saturday morning Pocket cards

Good Morning crafters!!!  I hope you are all doing fine on this Father's Day weekend.  I Have been busy putting together a couple of quick cards, called Pocket Cards

Above is a photo showing why they are called pocket cards...there is  a pocket in the design to hold a mat for stamping as well as writing your personal note. 

To create your own, you will need a piece of Designer series paper, I used a piece from the Garden Lane DSP collection # 149488 and cut it at 4 by 10 and 1/2, then scored it at 5 and 1/4 and 9 and 1/4.

You will then need a mat at 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2 for your base... and then another colored card stock mat at 3 and 3/4 by 5 and a whisper white mat cut at 3 and 1/2 by 4 and 3/4.

Take your DSP and fold on score lines....

 I then used a 6 inch piece of the NEW Scalloped ribbon in the Pretty Peacock #149751

 Taped the end to the back of the pattern paper to hold in place, and then I added tear and tape #138995

Peel of the tear and tape backing and place the DSP onto the 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2 inch mat..

then I used the Story label #150076 and some dimensionals to place on card and stamped an oval punched (SU retired punch)piece of whisper white cs and stamped " thinking of you" sentiment from the Retired By the Bay stamp set.

I used the NEW color ink pad... Pretty Peacock # 150083

Below it the punch used..retired...

And Voila!!! finished card.

Hoe you enjoyed today's post projects and I have inspired you to give it a try!!
