PaperCrafts Magazine Challenge 3-Stamp on Felt

Morning everyone! Here is Challenge #3 from THIS mag, which I adore! I only had white felt in the house, and my plan for all of these challenges, is to use products I already have in the house :o) I went soft and elegant with this pretty little card. My black StayzOn looks light grey on the felt (think I need to re-ink my pad!), but I like the look!

Masculine Thank You's

Hiya friends! Big C needed some Thank You cards, and these suited him to a T! He loved them, and I loved using my retiring sets Extreme Elements, and Thank You Kindly. To be honest, these are 2 sets I actually don't think I will part with when they retire, so you'll probably still be seeing them around the bloggo! ;o)

Getting Started Saying Thanks!

Hey friends! We had a really interesting challenge last month for my Artful Inkers team card swap. We were to take only one stamp set (which was later broadened to 2 to include a sentiment if needed), the colors from the Getting Started Collection in both card stock and classic ink, and create a card with only those items. No punches, no big shot, no bling, no nuthin'! Our goal was to come up with cards that anyone could create with just the Getting started Smooth Card Stock pack ($8.50, 2 sheets each of 8 1/2x11 Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Basic Black as seen on pg 174 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue, #120954), and the Getting Started Classic Stampin' Spots ($26.95 for 1 ink spot, sized approx 1x1" in the following 11 colors Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Basic Black as seen on pg 174 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue, #119979) and their choice of stamp set. This was my swap, and I did stick to a sentiment only set (Thank You Kindly, $16.95, pg 168 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue, #111700) which is one of my most used sets! Hope you enjoy and come back tomorrow and the next day, and I'll post 5 of my team members ideas per day, so you can see all the wonderful ideas YOU can make with these basic ingredients!

Happy Canada Day (and these were our teacher's presents this year :o)

Well, the school year is finally over, and we can all look forward to 2 months of relaxation, fun and rejuvenation. I made these presents for all our teachers, and I must say I love how they turned out! These chocolate bar sliders are so easy to make, and they create a huge wow factor! I've added a little pocket on the front of these to also hold a gift card. If the card looks familiar to you, I CASEd myself (CASEing someone else!) LOL! I love that you can take such a super sweet, super simple card, and alter it to suit your card giving needs! I also LOVE the Flirtacious DSP and Delicate Doilies Stamp set...I don't think I've told you that in about a week... :o)

This slider was made for a for a friend of Big C and L'il C's. I decided to make his a little more rough and tumble, and I love how it turned out too! That embossed resist technique rocks!

Hope you are all having a fabby start to your summer, and HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!

Spotlighting

Hey there! I've lost track what card # this is from the Waterloo Technique Stamp Camp this past Saturday! LOL! I think this was tied for the fave card of the day...keep tuned to see the Iris fold card, I think those 2 are still duking it out to win "Favorite Card" title! ;o)

There was an extra card kit left over from the Techniques Stamp Camp, so when I got home, I sat down to play! I changed up the stamp sets, but otherwise kept everything the same. Love it! (Stamps used here are En Francais and I {Heart} Hearts)

Happy (Canadian!) Thanksgiving!

Hey-a friends! Hope you are all having a fabby start to your (Canadian!)long Thanksgiving weekend! Here are my Thanksgiving cards. My kidlets gave their teachers a 4 pack of these, blank of course :o) and we will fill out cards to our family, telling them what makes us thankful for them. I hope this doesn't sound hokey, but I am so full of thanks to my family, friends, and experiences, that I absolutely LOVE this time of year. The time to reflect, appreciate, and say thanks to everyone who touches us. So, thanks my bloggy friends, I love being able to come here and post my creations and share what is happening here in our little piece of the world! Happy Thanksgiving, friends, hope you all have a great Holiday!
Hugs,
Robbyn
