Tis' The Season...Take Three

Aloha Everyone! Today is our Christmas Stampin' All Year Long's sketch challenge three. Check out the sketch Maria challenged us with. It's great right!?! Looks fairly simple, right!?! So why did I wait until the very last second (before it was due), to create my card??? Why, why, why??? I have to STOP! doing that. It was such a rush job and no one else to blame but me, myself, & I!!! (lol). Although I must admit, it was a fun card to make and I guess it's safe to say that I'm pleased with it, after all.

For a great lift, check out the rest of "CSAYL" divas and their take on this challenge. Hope you'll be inspired and come along and play. Lots of time left to jump in. Have fun and enjoy!

Okay now, here I share with you my very last minute card. In other words...my rush job (lol). I just love this stamp. It's gotta be the cutest. This image is "Snow Family" from Penny Black, which I picked up from Little C's just two days ago and couldn't wait to use it. I created the background using a CB embossing folder, puffy velvet for the rims of their snow caps, and designer snaps (also purchased from Little C's).

As for my snowflake charm, I created this first by cutting out a few snowflakes. Using the cricut, the cartridge "Accent Essentials", and Jen's tutorial on how to create your own chipboard, I went to town. Once my snowflake chipboard was done, I then colored it with a Stampin' Up marker and piled tons of crystal glitter all over it, giving it that crystal effect. IRL this snowflake turned out so pretty. Card Details:
Stamp: "Snow Family" (Penny Black)
Paper: Stock (SU)
Ink: SU markers
Accessories: Ribbon, Glitter, Cricut cartridge "Accent Essentials", Puffy Velvet, Designer Snaps

Have a great week...Aloha and God bless!

Valentines...Mini Candy Bar Holder

Well the day is near an end and I just wanted to share a really quick post with you, before I hit the pillow. These little treats I decided to make at the heavy encouragement of my ten and seven y/o. They are forever wanting to give things out to their friends so, the crafty side of me said..."how 'bout if I just make something!?!" so of course, they jumped at it.

Here is what we decided to make. These "Valentine" mini candy bar holders were actually cased from Dawn's Stampin' Studio. I just admire her work and thought I'd share a little of it with you.

I slightly altered it a bit. But over all, the base was taken (oops...I mean cased) directly from Dawn's place. It was fairly simple and fun to make, once I got the hang of it. The DP are all left over scraps, which I was very happy to have put them to good use.Card Details:
Stamps: Our Craft Lounge
Paper: Stock and DS paper (SU)
Ink: SU markers, VersaCraft (blk)
Accessories: Ribbon, Embossing powder, Cricut cartridge "Accent Essentials"

As always...thank you so much for stopping by. Hope you enjoyed your visit! Aloha...

Little C's Weekly Challenge~ Sketch Challenge

Happy, happy, happy to share with you all, our very first Little C's Challenge, for this new year. But before I do, please join in and welcome the new designers for Little C's : Maria, MacKenzie, Heidi , Jen C, Jackie, & Margie (Guest Diva)

Our first challenge starts off with a sketch challenge, created by Maria . Each week, we'll be alternating between a sketch and a color combo challenge. We hope to inspire you to come along and play with us. Little C's will then select one lucky person at the end of the week, to receive a very special something, as a prize.

For this challenge, the image I chose to use was Whiff of Joy's "Angel Hugging Heart", which can be purchased from yours truly...Little C's. Their angels are so adorable, it was kinda hard to select. But I did, and this is what I came up with. Here I used TAC's DS paper, CB's Embossing folder "Dots", SU Markers, and ALL Natural Accents from of course Little C's. Here's a closer shot of the "All Natural Accents" leaves and hibiscus. I love working with these. They are very versatile.

For more details on the challenge, please be sure to stop by to visit Little C's blog and while there, check out the great work by the rest of our designers. Also, Jen has a great Valentine Special going on right now. Catch the deal before it ends.

Well as always...I appreciate you stopping by and blessing me with your visit. Thank you so much!

SUINKWWC #24- Inspiration Challenge...

This next challenge I jumped in on was an Inspiration challenge from SUInk & More. Again I am a little late on this one. Praise God, this time, it's only by days (lol). I love these colors, so finding the right shades was not a problem.

I also love polka dots. As soon as I seen this photo with the green dots on the white sheet and the colorful ones on Mr. Bear, it caught me eye. Using SUInk's "Will You Be My Valentine" set, I then created this card. I paper pieced the little girl's dress but, I wonder how it ended up with only ONE polka dot!?! Hmmmm...(lol).

Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk)
Paper: Stock Paper (unknown), DS paper (DCWV)
Ink: SU Markers, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: Ribbon, Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Embossing Powder, Hodgepodge Hardware

As always, I appreciate your visit. Have a very blessed day in the Lord.

SUINKWWC #23- Happy Valentines Treat

Aloha Friday everyone! The day is almost over, here in Hawaii. Before it ends, I just wanted to share a sweet post with you all. This is something I had created for SUInk & More WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY challenge, which we were to create a Valentine Treat Holder. Although I am about one week late for this challenge, I still wanted to play along. So here it is. This idea I totally CASED from Holly McMillen @ Toy's Haven. You must check out her site. Her work is fabulous. Sorry for the bright glare on the note card.

I created this matching 3x3 note card, a perfect fit for my treat holder. The black, gold, and vanilla card stock are from various companies. As for the DS paper, I selected this design for the special recipient I had in mind. The softness of this print, with the glittery effect, was just perfect for this special someone. This DS paper used was from one of the premium pads of DCWV. I then added a piece of fancy edged lace & pink satin ribbon. The itty bitty dew drop, prima flower and the All Natural Accents were all purchased from LittleC's Stamps n' Things. The stamped heart and sentiment are part of my Valentine set "Will You Be My Valentine" by SUInk & More.

For this treat box, instead of using your traditional Valentine treats, I chose to use a more familiar and elegant looking one. Not to mention, in my opinion, one of the yummiest. As for the measurements of the box and acetate top, I guessed and guessed and guessed. It's really just your basic box template with a slight difference in size between the base and top. Using the same DS paper as the box, I created a divider strip between the candies, also done by guessing. With all the guessing that went on in creating this, I believe I've now got it down...I GUESS!?!Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk)
Paper: Stock Paper (various), DS paper (DCWV)
Ink: SU Markers, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: Ribbon, Gold Cord, Prima Flowers, Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, Dew Drop, Dimensionals

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit and see you real soon. Till then be blessed!

"Card 4 Kids" outreach...(pt.3)

Here is the last set of (5) Valentine cards I would like to share, created for the "Cards 4 Kids" outreach. Again, fairly simple cards with the children in mind.

Using the "Will You Be My Valentine" set, I stamped the (5) hearts with Black Versa Craft and embossed it with clear Embossing Powder then colored in with SU Markers. I inked all edges, added the ribbon, a dimensional, circle nesties, circle punch, and a sentiment and...ta daa...all done. See how simple. Again...for the kids =)

I kinda had a challenge to get ALL of the ribbons from each card to face the same direction. It was one of those ribbon days. Do you ever have those!?! Oh well...(lol)

Thanks for taking this journey with me during these last few days, as I shared with you, cards created especially for a bunch of precious children. If "Card 4 Kids" is a challenge you would like to take part in, please pop on over to Pat's for more info. Be a blessing to a child today~ God Bless!

hugs in Jesus~

"Cards 4 Kids" outreach...(pt.2)

Back again to share with you a second set (set of 5) of Valentine cards created just for the "Cards 4 Kids" outreach (challenge), using one of the newest Valentine sets released by SUInk & More. As you can tell, although I have other sets, this set "Will You Be My Valentine" just seems to be fun and easy to work with.

I stamped the first images of the envelope, hearts, and mailbox on the inner part of the card. Embossed it with black versa craft and embossing powder then colored in with SU markers. The same process were followed for the strip of hearts and "Kiss" sentiment. Next I then punched out (3) square windows to make viewing of the inner card visible and finally embossed the face of the card with CB embossing "Dots" folder. Sorry we didn't take a photo of the inside but the inner sentiment reads..."Happy Valentines Day".

Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk)
Paper: Stock Paper (SU)
Ink: SU Markers, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: Embossing Powder, CB Embossing Folder, 1 3/8" Square Punch (SU)

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed your visit and see you real soon. Till then be blessed!

"Cards 4 Kids" challenge...(pt.1)

As much as we can title it a "Challenge", my heart says "OUTREACH". Cause that's exactly what it's all about. Pat from The Rubber Maid has an amazing spirit and a gigantic heart. She has an "Outreach" going on and is making a call out to we stampers. Pay her a visit to find out how you can help.

Well of course I jumped in and this is the first set (set of 10) I came up with. Because it was for the children, I tried to keep it simple. Once again using my new stamp set "Will You Be My Valentine" by SUInk & More, various bright colored stock pieces, "Heart" CB embossing folder, and my SU markers, I went to work.

Because it was a fairly simple simple layout, whipping out a total of ten, was really quick.
Please be sure to come back and check out the next two sets, also completed for this outreach. Till then, thanks for checking in and have a blessed day in the Lord!

SUINKWWC22- Love is in the Air...Sweetheart!

Happy Wednesday all...today is Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge for Storage Units, Ink & More using, one of their newest sets just released... "Will You Be My Valentine". The challenge is to create a "Love" (not necessarily "Valentine") card of any size, shape, or fold. Cannot however, be your standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. This is my take...

I decided to create this 6x6 "Sweetheart...Thinking of You" card with my DH in mind. Whether he actually receives it...well...I dunno (lol)!?! It just may end up with all of my other collection of "Special" cards made, with him in mind. If you know what I mean!?!

Using textured stock, colored stock, and DS paper, I stamped my image and sentiments with Black Versa Craft ink then embossed with Clear Embossing powder. Colored in with SU's markers and inked all edges with SU's ink pads. I then used the "Swirl" CB folder, added a ribbon, some dew drops, prima flowers, and brass eyelets. The sentiment..."Thinking of You" is not part of this set. This is the inside view of the pull out card. Sorry it's kind of hard to tell, the sentiment reads..."Love endures all things".Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk), Sentiment (SU)
Paper: Stock paper (SU), DS Paper (TAC)
Ink: SU Markers, SU Ink pads, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: SU Hodgepodge set, Embossing Powder, CB Embossing Folder, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, Dew Drops

I appreciate you and your visit. Have a very wonderful day in the Lord.

Ooh~la~la...

Here's part two from yesterday's posting. Another card created previously for LittleC's at a free for all (go for broke, lol) workshop for we "Glama Gurlz". Again I used Pat Cat Studio's "Fashion" stamp set, added lots of pretty ribbons, stickles to the heel, and beautiful Victorian style DS paper. Nestibilities were also used, prima flowers, and one single dew drop.

BTW, I must give credit, where credit is due...the idea of this layout was CASED from a recent CTMH catalog. So thank you Jean of Stamping Spot Studio, for dropping it off at Jen's.

Card Details:
Stamps: Pink Cat Studio "Fashion"
Paper: DS paper (unknown)
Ink: SU Marker and SU Ink pad
Accessories: Ribbons, Flowers, Stickles, Dew Drops, Nestibilities, Dimensionals

I appreciate you and your visit. Thank you and have a beautiful day in Jesus!

"Fashion" anyone???

Happy Monday all!!! Really quick, just want to share with you, one of my cards previously featured on and created for LittleC's Gallery. I loved this stamp set and had so much fun working with it. If only I owned it (lol). Let me explain...Jen of LittleC's hosted a workshop for the "Glama Gurlz" of LittleC's (which is another group of ladies, in addition to LittleC's Diva Designers), and at this workshop she laid out tons and tons and tons, and tons of supplies such as stamp sets (from all different kinds of companies), ribbons, brads, buttons, papers, dew drops, and the list goes on and on. You name it, she had it out (even food). She told us to create whatever we wanted, just go for it. And so we did! Do you know anyone as generous as that!?! I was drooling (hee, hee). Anyway this Pink Cat Studio's "Fashion" stamp set that I used to create this card, belonged to non other but Jen.

To create this, I inked the edges of the silk white flower, the lil' flower is of All Natural Accents, and used brads within the button, for the middle of the flowers. Upon completion of coloring, the dress looked so velvety IRL (in real life). I loved the ribbon and DP which was found in her scrap boxes. There is also a lil' glimmer brad that I used for the dress' belt.

Card Details:
Stamps: Pink Cat Studio "Fashion"
Paper: DS and Stock paper (unknown)
Ink: SU Markers and SU Ink pads
Accessories: Ribbon, Flowers, Buttons, Brads, Dimensionals

Hope you enjoyed your visit today and thank you for stopping by!

Love n' Hugs...

Good evening everyone and..goodnight (lol). My, my, my...it's been a busy but fun day today and I'm ready to hit the pillows. But not until I share with you ONE of my latest cards, visit some of your blogs, and grab a midnight snack (yummy).

You know, I don't know what's going on but in our home, there's lotssssssssssssssss of love in the air (lol). My DH has been taking us out to eat lately. Let's see... we went the day before New Years, New Years Eve, New Years day, AND the day after New Years. Today he BBQ'd for us, not to mention. Hmmmmmmm...either he got a big gigantic raise, wants NEW camera equipment, or...just wants to free up more time for me, so that I can stamp, stamp, stamp! Whatever it may be, I'm happy. Speaking of "Love", I've been playing with my new stamp set "Will You Be My Valentine" from SUInk & More and created (and still creating) lots of Valentine cards for the Cards 4 Kids challenge. Can't wait to finish and share them all with you. Most importantly...can't wait till it reaches the children. To find out more info. on how you can partake on this special blessing, pop on over to The Rubber Maid.

This next card is one that I created for a "Special" someone. It was created, also using my "Will You Be My Valentine" set. It's hard to tell by the photo but Dimensionals were placed behind the "Love" hearts, to give it the 3D effect.
Card Details:
Stamps: Will You Be My Valentine (SUInk)
Paper: Stock paper (SU), DS Paper ( DCWV)
Ink: SU Markers, SU Ink pads, Black Versa Craft
Accessories: SU Hodgepodge set, Embossing Powder, Ribbon, Dimensionals

As always...thank you for blessing me with your visit.

Happy Holidays...Tag Card

OMGosh...it is so pouring rain, here in Hawaii. I can't tell you how beautiful it is from our home. We live up in the hills and the clouds are sitting low. It's not our typical tropical rain, it's....POURING rain and the chill is in the air. How perfect for the holidays. But...it's only for a few days then the sun will be out again. So, my family and I are enjoying every moment of it. We love the rain (as you can probably tell, by now). I know, I know...most of you live in areas where it's the winter season, you have beautiful snow (until it's brown, mushy, & time to shovel), nice chilly weather (until your fireplace or heater decides not to work), and little running noses (until YOU have to be the one to stay up allllllllllllllllllll night, tending to the colds and fevers). But what better time to CRAFT right!?! For me, this weather puts me in the mood to clean. I love to clean but, I'm so tempted to craft allllllllllllllllllll day, hmmmmmmm...What shall I do!?! I know...I will CLEAN my CRAFT room! That should take me allllllllllllllllllll day (lol). So off I go...but before I do, let me share this next card with you.

This actually began, on a day I was planning on making gift tags. Instead, I switched gears, right in the middle, and decided to turn my tags into cards. Here's the first.

I embossed the background with CB Embossing Folder, added a strip of DS Paper from Three Bugs in a Rug (CaBoodle Kit), embossed the outline of the reindeer image (TAC) using black versa craft and clear embossing powder, and colored it in with SU Markers. The snowflakes were created by cricut's "Accent Essentials" cartridge and covered with Pearly Fine glitter. I think however...I will remove the silver cord. After all, it's no longer a tag (lol).

Below are just a few of the other tags that were converted into cards. Sorry I don't have a closer shot but, the same process was used for each tag.

Details:
Technique: Die Cutting (Cricut cartridge & Sizzix), Embossing, Stamping, Coloring
Images: Rudolph, Stocking, Gingerbread Man, & Bell (TAC)
Paper: Stock Paper (SU), Three Bugs in a Rug DS Paper (Little C's)
Supplies: CB Embossing Folder, Ribbon, Versa Craft, Embossing Powder, Glitter
Ink: SU Markers

Thank you for visiting today. Have a very blessed day, Aloha!

Rudolph the Red Nose...Treat Box

My, my, my...where has time gone!?! Sorry I've been MIA over the last days. We have some busy weekends coming up, for Girls Scout, and I had to get some projects done for them. It's all good.

Our first project was created for my oldest daughter's troop. She decided to make some holiday treats for her Girls Scout sisters and needed "Mom" to create some kind of packaging for these treats. So this is what we came up with. It's perfect and suits her needs.

I decided to use the popular "Frankie" idea from Jen of Pieces of Me. Of course, we had to modify Frankie slightly (okay...a lot) to make him look like Rudolph. But at the end...we were very pleased with the outcome.

For this project, I totally used my Cricut. Accent Essentials and Plantin SchoolBook is what was used to create everything on Rudolph (other then SU ink pad & Pop Dots).

The treats my daughter decided to make were, Chocolate Marsh Pretzel Rods. Due to the length of the pretzel rods, we needed the box to be slightly tall, to prevent the rods from falling out. So...we found it, the perfect box. Cricut's "Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More" cartridge (can be purchased from Little C's...) is what was used to create the box we needed. Here's a side view glimpse of the box's height.

Once the Rudolphs were complete, we then placed the treats in a cellophane bag, tied a ribbon, and placed it in our new Rudolph treat box.

Details:
Technique: Cricut cartridges "Accent Essentials", "Plantin SchoolBook", and "Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More"
Paper: Stock Paper (unknown)
Supplies: Pop Dots
Ink: SU Markers

I appreciate you stopping by to visit. Please enjoy and God Bless~

Glory To God...

Good morning all, hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday. Just thought I'd do a quick post, just to share this newest card.

For some reason, I love snowman images. I think they are the cutest and probably the easiest to work with. You don't have to toss back and forth on what shade of color you will use on them, just leave them all white (lol).
Card Details:
Image: TAC Stamp
Paper: DS Paper (TAC), Stock Paper (SU)
Accessories: Gold Metallic Fringe, Clear Embossing Powder, Dew Drops & Pop Dots
Ink: SU Markers, SU Ink Pads, Versa Craft (black)
Sentiment: TAC Stamp

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by. Aloha!~

Jesus is the reason...

Okay, okay, okay...I'm sorry, I played hooky yesterday. My intentions were to post my new cards however, my girls and I got caught up with cleaning and prepping our home for our Christmas tree and our holiday decor. The finishing touch is ALWAYS our family's nativity set. Which I thought was such a perfect setting for my cards.

First of all, I am so very proud of ME, hee-hee (I say this humbly). This is my very, very first ever, in my three years of stamping, ever, ever...creating anything in multiples. Never have I ever created ANYTHING and duplicated it. This is really, really my first time. Do you believe me, by now (lol)!?! I'm sure there's many of you that are the same way. Honestly, I've just never had the patience to duplicate the process and always just wanted to rush on to the next project. Until... I came across a stamping sister's blog, and was so inspired. Most, if not all, of her cards are done by sets. Such beautifully created cards, I tell you. I just had to give it a try. So thank you to Cheryl of God and I on The Railroadtracks for being such an inspiration and a sweetie.

Well what can I say...there are many reasons why I love the Christmas holiday, but first and far most is because of what it truly stands for...the birth of our Lord and Savior...JESUS. Which is why, I decided to select this next image. It fits so perfectly.
Pop Dots were used behind the little drummer boy's and each one of the animal's heads. Puffy Velvet was also used for the wool of the lamb (sorry photo is not clear).

TADAAAAAAAAAH...here's my first set ever created (I guess you probably got that by now, huh!?! lol). This set actually consists of (4) cards but I didn't have space to display all four. Just in case you're wondering...the photos were taken in front of our nativity set so, the little hand above the top card belongs to Joseph. It's not mine (hee, hee). When I looked at the completed card I then tossed back and forth, whether I should use more embellishments at the lower right corner but, quickly decided NOPE! Why??? Because...over embellishing will take from the image and the message behind that image.

Card Details:

Image: High Hopes "My Best for Him..." ( Little C's )

Paper: DS Paper (3 Bugs in a Rug-Little C's ), Stock Paper (SU)

Accessories: CB Embossing Folder, Fiber Yarn, Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder, Puffy Velvet & Pop Dots

Sentiment: TAC Stamp

Thanks for stopping by and blessing me with your visit. God Bless~

Friend...

It's A L O H A Friday everyone and the weekend has just begun, at least in our home. Because we homeschool, the Principal (my DH) and I, decided to give our girls the day off from school today. It's been a really busy week for them (educationally), and they have been in such good spirits throughout, that we wanted to reward them. So...they are off meaning, I am off...YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! Okay enough, now let's get on with business (l0l).

Today's featured card is another "Blast from the Past". Again, some of you may remember (a little while back), this card too, was shared through Little C's Gallery. So, I thought I'd bless those that have not yet seen it. For those of you that have, I bless you, all over again.

I just loved working with these colors. I think they work so well with the Sarah Kay images. This SK image is Margaux Is Painting.

Now...

Here we have an Angel Mama, from Whipper Snapper Stamps. I recently posted this same image, in a different layout, different color combo. But...I think I like this one better, hmmmmmmm!?! I dunno, what do you think??? Okay, well as you can tell, I used CB Embossing Folder for the background. I just love those folders. They just add a different look to whatever you create. In my opinion, it brings it to a whole different level. DS Paper, hmmm...sorry, I don't recall where it was, I purchased it from. Again, I played with my Puffy Velvet pen to add a little dimension to the bubbles and also used a Pop Dot behind her head, so it protrudes out. I used my oval Nestibilities and my Oval Punches. The sentiment was computer generated, reading..."Cherish All Your Happy Moments" (sorry it's not too clear). Added some ribbon and...Tah Dah!!!

Here's a little (or shall I say...,huge, lol) up close shot of the bubbles. I forgot to mention, SU Markers were used for the coloring.

Card Details:

Stamps: Whipper Snapper ( Little C's )

As always...thank you for visiting today. Be Blessed!

Spring Time Hanna...Near Christmas Time, Huh!?!

Oh, Oh...OMGosh, silly ol' me. Only now, this very moment, I realized that I did not place a sentiment on this card. Although there are many, that I intentionally leave blank, this was not one of them. Do you believe, I didn't even take notice, while hubby was taking the photo. Hmmmm...I must be going through mentalpause (hee,hee...only kidding).

At first when creating this card, I had no clue as to what I was trying to achieve. All I know, is that I wanted to play with my Spring Time Hanna stamp set (and yes I know, I know...we are nearing Christmas but...), along with my almost new Fluffy Ewenice from High Hopes. (Both images were purchased from Little C's).

Let's see, first the sky and the grassy hills were created by dabbing, with a sponge. I then, paper pieced Hanna's skirt and...

used Puffy Velvet to create the fluff for Ewenice's wool. I also used (as you can see), CB Embossing Folder for the background, (TAC) DS Paper and Ribbons. All Inks and Markers are from SU.

I am actually pleased on how this card turned out (except for the missing sentiment-lol). Hope you enjoy it, as well.

Thank you for stopping by...have a blessed day!!!
