Stamp with Tammy

Saturday Sketch Challenge #271

Happy Friday afternoon!!  Are you all ready for the 3-day weekend?!!  woohoo!  I'm so excited because we have NO plans!  yep--just going to hang out with the family!  Can't wait!

But, before that starts, I need to share with your our sketch challenge for today!!

Cute, huh?!!!  You can find all the measurements for the sketch on the Stamping 411 Blog!

Here's my card:

Does this designer paper look familiar?!! LOL!  Yep, it's the Howlstooth & Scaringbone again!  And, yes, it's even the same sentiment!!  Guess it was on my desk from the last card! :-)  Now you can see how versatile it is! LOL!!!  I did use different framelits for this one:  the black is done with the Apothecary Accents, and the Tangerine Tango is cut with the Lots of Tags Sizzlet!  I also used the Adorning Accents Edgelit on the bottom of the designer paper and the Basic Black cardstock!  For the funnest part of this card, check out the ribbon!!!  It's the striped satin ribbon found in the Holiday Mini--it's just so cool!!  I was able to get a really good shot of it in the sunlight, so you can really see the stripes!

This will be our last post over at Stamping 411 for a little while.  It's a busy time for everyone, and the operators are no exception!  So, we've decided that a "vacation" is in order!  Please head on over to the BLOG and read all about it!

Saturday Sketch Challenge #269

Good afternoon!!!  I've been busy all day getting ready for our team meeting tonight!  Can't wait to see everyone! 

Here is our sketch for you today, from the Stamping 411 Blog!!

Cute, huh?!!  Well, here's what I came up with:

Isn't it pretty?!!  I love Silver and white together!  For this card, I embossed the tree from Snow Swirled, and the sentiment from Delightful Dozen with Silver Embossing Powder.  I layered those onto pieces of Silver cardstock.  The bottom portion is silver cardstock dry embossed using the Big Shot and the Delicate Designs Embossing Folder.  Then, white organza ribbon was added!  Very simple and easy, but elegant, I think!

Now, head on over to the Stamping 411 Blog and check out the other designers' inspiration!  Then, play along with us!!!  We'd love to see what you do with the sketch!!

Saturday Sketch Challenge #268

Good afternoon!!  It's time for one of my favorite challenges!  The sketch challenge over at Stamping 411!!  Here's our sketch for today:

and, my card:

Don't you just love the Daydream Medallions Stamp set?!!  I sure do!  It was the first set on my wish list when the new catalog came out!  When I made this card, I still had the ink pads out from making THIS card, so I just used the same colors:  Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade and Rich Razzleberry!  I love this combination--so rich looking!  I stamped each of the different sized medallions, then cut out using my Big Shot and the Floral Frames Framelits.  I added a Rich Razzleberry flower punched with the Itty Bitty Shapes punch, and added a rhinestone.  Then sentiment is from the Heavenly Blessings Stamp Set, and I used the International Bazaar Designer Paper.

Hope you like it!  Please check out all the Designers' work on the Stamping 411 Blog!  Then, play along!  I'd love to see what you come up with!

Saturday Sketch Challenge #267

Good evening!!  Hope you're all looking forward to a fun, relaxing weekend!!  Only a couple more left before school starts here!  The boys aren't happy!! :-)

Our sketch today was hard for me for some reason!  Here it is:

Not sure why I had such a hard time coming up with an idea, but I did!!  I'm sure you can do better--can't wait to see!!  Here's my card:

I tried a million different images to go along with the Labels Framelits, but just wasn't happy!  So, I did away with the framelits and just used the rectangle!  The stamp set is "Best Dad Ever", and it's really great for the masculine cards we all need!  I actually started the card with the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack!  It can be found in the Holiday Catalog!  As you can see, it doesn't have to be used for the holidays!  Here are all the supplies I used:

Best Dad Ever & Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Sets

Island Indigo, Early Espresso & Whisper White cardstock;  Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack

Island Indigo & Early Espress Classic Ink

Paper Snips, Word Window Punch

Please head on over to the Stamping 411 Blog and see what the other talented team members came up with!!  Have a GREAT weekend!!

Saturday Sketch Challenge #264

Howdy!!  How is everyone this wonderful afternoon?!!  I'm doing great!  Ready for the weekend!!! 

The operators at Stamping 411 have a FUN sketch for you today!!  I really enjoyed this one!

And, my card:

I actually liked my card this week!  It's so bright and cheery!!  I used the World Treasures Stamp Set, and embossed the peacock in Tangerine Tango.  I watercolored the "white" spaces with Baja Breeze and Pacific Point.  It's so easy to color after you've embossed--the ink doesn't "stick" to the embossing, so you never mess up!! LOL!!  I cut out the peacock, and mounted him on a piece of Baja Breeze that I embossed with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder (& Big Shot).  The background is designer paper found in the International Bazaar pack--love this paper!!  I stamped the sentiment, then cut it out using the Apothecary Accents Framelits (& Big Shot).  I finished off the card with some Pacific Point Stitched Grosgrain!  Hope you like it!!

Now, go check out the other operators' cards on the Stamping 411 site!  Lots of eye candy over there!!

Supplies Used:

World Treasures Stamp Set

Pacific Point, Baja Breeze & Whisper White cardstock;  International Bazaar Designer Paper

Versamark Ink;  Pacific Point and Baja Breeze Classic Ink

Big Shot, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder;  Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder & Heat Tool;  Pacific Point Stitched Grosgrain

 

Saturday Sketch Challenge #263

Time for another Saturday Sketch Challenge!!  Yes, we know we post on Fridays, but that's to give you a little extra time to play along!! :-)  Anyway, here's our sketch for you today:

Super simple sketch--so fun to work with!!!  Here's what I came up with:

I started with the Comfort Cafe Designer Paper--with all the fun patterns, I know it would look great as a layered flower!  I used the new Floral Frames Framelits to cut out my three flowers, then topped it off with a Summer Starfruit Dahlia!  The card base is Midnight Muse, and then comes the Cajun Craze layer!  It was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and Big Shot!  For the sentiment, I stamped the words from Itty Bitty Banners, and then cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits!  Super Simple Card!

Now, head on over to the Stamping 411 Blog and check out the other works of art from the Operators!  And, have a GREAT weekend!!!
