I'm hosting the Viva la Verve sketch challenge this week.  And since it's the 4th week it's a CAS sketch.  However, I did add a couple of things.  CAS is such a challenge for me at times.  ;)

After the Holidays, thank you cards or notes are in high demand, so I thought I'd use this sketch to make a thank you card.  I love fabulously fonted sentiments from the Verve set Treasured Words, and thought the thank you sentiment would work beautifully.

I made the flower using the tutorial by Lisa Nazario-Gregory found HERE.  It has to be one of my all time favorites.

The rest is pretty self-explanatory.  Be sure to stop by the Viva la Verve Forum.  There's a chance you could win Verve Stamps!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
Happy Stamping!

Viva la Verve ~ Merry Christmas CAS

Janelle has designed a fabulously fun sketch for the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge this week.  I combined sentiments from the two Verve sets Joyous Noel and Merry and Bright, as well as the Ribbon Banner Die and the poinsettia from the Joyous Noel set.  

I embossed the bg using a Holly Sizzix Embossing Folder, and made some Scored lines along the horizontal panel using my Scor-Buddy.

Pretty CAS and straight forward.  Be sure to check out the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge.  You could win some beautiful Verve sets.

Hope you had a fantastic week and are looking forward to a fun weekend!!

Happy Stamping!!

Gorgeous...Inside and Out

I'm hosting the VLV Sketch challenge over at the Verve Forum on Splitcoastampers and I'd love it if you decided to participate.  

I have a fabulous daughter who's beautiful inside and out and I couldn't be more proud of her.  She's away at college, and there are days where she just needs to be reminded how special she is, so I made this card to send with a few little "pick-me-up" care package goodies.  :)

The sentiment is from the Verve set Learning to Sail, and I combined it with the Jotted Heart from Love Notes (Which happens to be on sale too. *wink*).  Both were diecut with A Cut Above Dies:  Mini Classy Label and Jotted Heart.  See the "x's" along the border?  They're from the Verve set Borderline.  I thought they were fun and fit the funky style of this card.  Which is right up my daughter's alley.  No frills here.  :)

Stop by the Verve Forum for all the details on how you can win some Verve by participating in the sketch challenges!!

Have a super fabulous weekend!

Viva la Verve....hello

Andrea has a sweet sketch over in the Viva la Verve Forum!!  I had a lot of fun with it using the Verve sets Brighter Days and With Love.  I stamped the flower from Brighter days onto the decorative paper, cut out 3 of the layers, popped them up with dimensionals, and attached them to a black die cut base using the Scalloped Flowers die (A Cut Above ~ Verve).  The sweet "hello" sentiment is from the With Love set.  I love the charming script.

Be sure to check out the VLV Forum.  You have an opportunity to win some Verve.  Who can pass up an opportunity like that?  

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a fabulous weekend my friends, and

Whimsical Verve

Hello my friends.  I went a bit whimsical today.  I just felt Amber's Viva la Verve sketch had that whimsy feel to it and I somehow saw a tree in it so this is where my creativity took me.  I used 3 Verve stamp sets and 1 Verve die:  Doodled Occasions (the itty bitty flower), Borderline (Frame and sentiment), With Love (Bird), and Mini Bookplate die (A Cut Above Frame).

I love how Julee makes her sets so versatile that you can use images from a variety of sets.  If gives a crafter limitless combinations!!

Thanks for visiting.  I hope you have a super fantastic weekend.  I'm spending the day with a few of my favorite paper crafters.  I feel so blessed!!

Happy Stamping ya'll!!

Viva la Verve

Have you seen Janelle's sketch over at the Verve Forum yet?  It's super fun and inspirational!!  I thought one of the sentiments from the Stronger Love (Verve) set would work beautifully with this set, and I love the bird from the With Love set.  Doesn't he look sweet perched on the arrow from the Brighter Days set?

I thought some burlap leaves would be a perfect fit with this beautiful Prima flower too, and I added some gold stickles to the sun.  They kind of took over, but it just makes it extra sparkly.  :)

That's it for me today.  I have a Waltzingmouse Sketch card to share with you tomorrow, so please stop by!

Be true to yourself...

I have a Viva la Verve Sketch card to share with you today. The sketch was designed by Charmaine, and you can find out all the details on how to participate here.

I fell in love with this layout when I saw it. I've never used Washi Tape before and thought it was the perfect design to step out and use it. Fun stuff I tell ya!! I simply adore the new Verve sets with the banners included in their fonts and decided to use a sentiment, from Brighter days, with this sketch. This set is full of wonderfully encouraging sentiments and one of my absolute favorite Verve flowers.

Yeah, I didn't totally stick to the sketch...I only used 3 strips and moved my sentiment. Hope I didn't break too many rules. :)

That's it for today. Stop by tomorrow for a fun "spooky" card. I had a blast putting it together.

Happy Stamping ya'll!!

Viva la Verve and Ink Isolating Tutorial

Have you had a chance to check out the last Viva la Verve sketch for this month yet? If you use all the sketches, and upload them HERE, you have an opportunity to win a $100 Verve Gift Certificate...just sayin'....:)

Well, inspired by this week's CAS (I know...I got carried away and didn't do very well in the CAS department...it happens sometimes...*grin*), I created this fun coffee card using a couple of techniques.

First of all I Emboss Resisted. I stamped the coffee stain image, from the Verve set Better with You, onto Kraft cs, with Versamark and embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. I then inked the panel with Walnut Stain (Ranger Distress Ink) using a sponge dauber. After getting the deep color I wanted, I used my heat tool to go over the embossed coffee stains once more to get rid of the shine of the embossing powder making it look a little more rustic. The paper lines are an image from the Verve set Making a Statement.

For the background, I just stamped the "java" image all over the main panel. I wanted to use the small beautifully fonted "java" sentiment as a little banner flag so I decided to isolate it from the other fonts using repositioning tape.

Now, I'm sure someone has used this technique before, and there's probably a youtube video out on it, but I thought I'd show you how I did it here anyway.

I just taped over the areas of the image I didn't want to show,

Inked up the image with Teal Zeal (Memento),

and removed the tape to reveal the lone part that I wanted inked. If your ink has dried a bit, just "huff" on it and it should moisten the ink enough to get a good crisp image.

It's really easy.

The colored panels were created using the Modern Cube Large Edge Punch (EK Success). I just added some colored squares behind it using Ranger Distress Inks. I thought it would be fun to add some actual coffee beans too. They even smell good. :)

I want to quickly remind you that Verve is having a fabulous sale and Goody Bag offer right now too. So be sure to check that out. Just click on one of the images to the left or above, and you will be directed over to the Verve Store.

That about sums up today's card. I'm working on an Our Daily Bread Designs card for the Alumni Hop later this week, so be sure to visit again soon.

Happy Stamping!!

Viva la Verve and an accident...yikes!!

I have a Viva la Verve! card to share with you today using the sketch designed by one of the sweetest Verve divas, Charmaine!! :)

I used a variety of Verve Stamps and dies on this card: Stamps ~ Words of Wisdom,Making a Statement and Blue Skies, A Cut Above Dies ~ All Aflutter, Charming Oval,Charming Banner, and Tagged Rectangle

It's all pretty straight forward.

It's Julee's birthday this month, so she's celebrating big with a super sale all month, and a fantastic goody bag!!

And what's a party without presents? Now through the end of July receive a free goody bag of papercrafting delights if your order totals at least $75 after discounts and before shipping! There's nothing to do except shop... we'll automatically add the goodies when your order ships!

On a personal note... (I rarely share personal stuff but this is just plain crazy!!)

Have you ever tried participating in activities that your mind is sure you're young enough to actually pull off, but your body says "who are you trying to kid?" Well, I did just that on Monday. I decided to tube (being pulled behind our boat) with three others. Something I haven't done in 2 years, but have never been thrown either. Well, this time I got thrown and broke my 7th rib on my left side. Are you kidding me? I've wiped out knee boarding before, and on a stand up wave runner, and have never been seriously injured. Okay, I'm 44 years old now, but jeepers, I know people a lot older who go unscathed.

Now, the physical pain is manageable with only 2 advil every 6 hours. No problem. It's the heartache that's hard to take. You see, we're taking a trip to Hawaii soon and had all kind of active excursions planned, a few of which I can no longer do. My biggest disappointment is not being able to zipline. That's the one activity I truly LOVE!! *sigh* I have to say that I'm very thankful though. I could have had a much more serious injury to my neck or legs, or something else that would keep me from even going on vacation. So I'm truly counting my blessings. I get to spend some fun quality with my family in a tropical setting!! That's a HUGE blessing!! I just can't believe I've broken a rib! How crazy is that!?!?!?!?!?!

Well, that's it from me today.

I hope ya'll are enjoying your summer and are staying injury free. LOL

Stay safe, and Happy Stamping!!

One sun kissed day...

Hello my stamping friends!! I have a card to share with you today, that is not my typical style. But I had so much fun making it, and think it "feels" just like I wanted it to. I used this week's Viva la Verve sketch designed by Teresa, and combined it with a couple of Verve images: One Day Plain Jane, Sunny Days, and Joyful Blooms, and the Joyful Blooms die (Verve)

The paper and ticket stickers are all from Simple Stories' 100 Days of Summer line. Way fun!!

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you have a fantastic weekend!! I plan on seeing Brave with one of my dearest friends. Woot!!

Viva la Verve in June!!

I have the honor of hosting this week's Viva la Verve sketch over in the Verve Forum at Splitcoaststampers.com, and let me tell you, I had so much fun making this card. I hope you're not intimidated by all the layers. They are so fun for combining decorative papers, or layering up an all white card with different shapes. And boy, did I use a plethora of different shapes and embellishments. Pure crafting heaven for me. ;)

I wanted to make one of Verve's new Plain Janes, called Grace, my focal point, and then thought it would be fun to add a sweet little tag using two of Verve's dies: Tiny Sweet Scallop and the small oval from the Charming Ovals set. I added the "thinking of you" sentiment from one of the recently released sets called Joyful Blooms. I thought the fonts and sentiments complimented each other beautifully.

I used a few more dies and fun embellishments too, like a Prima flower that was dusted with some Frosted lace stickles, some Spellbinders die frames, and a gorgeous Filigree Corner embellishment that I got from the fabulously vintage store called The Funky Junkie. Her link is on my sidebar under "shopping".

For the rest of the embellishments and tools, check out the supply list that I always include at the bottom of my post. And be sure to check out the VLV Sketch. If you participate, you have an opportunity to win $100 of Verve images!! Now how can you not join in on the fun when there's free stamps to be had!! Seriously!! ;)

Thanks for visiting and for all your support!! Crafters are some of the most kind people I know!!

Wedded Bliss Viva la Verve

I've been playing with some more Verve images and decided to participate in this week's Viva la Verve sketch found HERE.

I need a wedding card in a couple of weeks, and thought the images from the Verve set Small Celebrations would look fabulous with the new Indie Chic paper by My Mind's eye. I love the blue/gold combination.

Short and sweet today. Graduations and parties to go to, and my college kids just got home, so lots to do ya'll!!

Have a fantastic weekend!!
Happy Stamping!

You're Amazing!

Andrea has designed a wonderful CAS sketch for the Viva la Verve challenge in the Verve forum this week. I used her sketch on an oval shaped card since I wanted to use some of my new Spellbinders dies. The sweet little sentiment flag was made using a phrase from the Verve set Small Phrases. It has wonderfully sweet and elegantly fonted sentiments perfect for little spaces. The heart was diecut using the Verve die Wavy hearts.

Live the life you've imagined

Hello everyone. I have a Viva la Verve Sketch challenge card to share with you today. This week our sketch is designed by the sweet and talented Moe. And it just happens to be her birthday on the 17th, so if your so inclined, click on her name above and give her some birthday love!!

For my card today, I used two favorite Verve sets of mine: Words of Wisdom, and Tag Time. I think the styles of both marry beautifully. And Verve has a Tagged Rectangle die designed for the tags, so it makes it extra easy to put together.



You may have noticed I've been stuck in the Shabby Chic style lately. I just can't stop myself from distressing the paper!! :) Well, I've discovered a store that fits beautifully with this style. It's called The Funkie Junkie Boutique, and Linda (the owner), is just the sweetest. The corrugated heart, lace and little roses are all from her store, as well as the Jute Mesh Burlap. So sweet!! I added some Stampendous Champagne Glass glitter to the edges of the heart, and some Gesso to all the dp.

The rest is pretty self explanatory. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous weekend. My husband is celebrating his 51st birthday on St. Patty's Day, and my son comes home from college tonight just in time. So I'm definitely looking forward to this weekend!!

Happy Stamping my friends!!

Birthday Wishes with VLV sketch

(Click on the photo to see the sparkle on the leaves and flower better)

Charmaine has designed the sweetest sketch for this week's VLV Sketch challenge over in the Verve Forum on Splitcoaststampers. I used a sentiment from the Verve set Making a Statement for the strip in the sketch, and a gorgeous flower made by Connie (Conniecrafter). A little while ago she sent me a card with some goodies inside: Beautiful handmade flowers and some gorgeous lace ribbon. See the lace along the vertical panel? Yep, that's from sweet and thoughtful Connie. I just added a Basicgrey button with a rhinestone to the flower and some glitter to the petals. Ya'll know I love to add a bit of sparkle. The dp is all from Simple Stories' Baby Steps Paper Pad.

Verve is having a Spring Sale too. 15% off select stamps and dies, so be sure to check it out. I mean, who can resist some fabulous Verve images?


That about sums it all up. Short and sweet for today. Be sure to check out the VLV sketches. They're super fun, and there's Verve to win if you participate in all of them this month.

Viva la Verve Feb. Week 4 CAS

It's Friday!! Woo-Hoo!! I'm so looking forward to the weekend. I'm also looking forward to seeing what stampers do with this week's VLV sketch that I'm hosting in the Verve forum over at Splitcoast Stampers. This year, we're dedicating the last week of the month to CAS (Clean and Simple) sketches, and we love it when you join in the challenge. So, head on over to the Verve Forum and check out all the details.

Julee released a PJ (Plain Jane) this month, that I feel speaks to many at different times in their lives. It's called Be Okay. Here's a closer look.


Okay, my ribbon is covering it a bit. It says "Everything is going to be okay". Isn't the font fun?

Those who frequent my blog, know I love to distress paper. Whether it be with ink, or just ripping the edges to shreds. Well, funny thing, I never thought of distressing the centers of the papers before. It's always been the edges. Now we all have or have had jeans with holes in the knees. Am I right? Why wouldn't paper wear in random places too? So, I added a small tear to the "inside" of my base panel. Just one...baby steps with the tears...lol


Here's the CAS sketch for you to work with. I flipped the sketch on it's side for my card.



Remember, if you make a card using this sketch, be sure to upload it to Splitcoast Stampers and link it in the Verve Forum found HERE.
