Vintage Scallop Card

Good morning,
  Happy Valentines for yesterday.  Sorry I didn't post but I didn't have anything spectacular for the day and that gave me a mind blank.  Lost the mojo, for the day.  Today is a different story though.  I cased a really cute card from Becky Roberts.  There is a pouch for the note card to go into and mine is wide enough to put a flat chocolate in as well (bonus!!)

This is the vintage card, but I also made one with just the pocket silhouette.  Just trying different things!!!

The card just comes straight out.  Sorry, I forgot to take a picture.
  I will give some basic instructions but if you need more, please let me know.
Card - black  -  scallop square (from the mini catalogue)
Front pocket  -  river rock  -  4 3/4" x 2 3/4"  scored  1/4", 1/2", 42/8" and 41/2"
                                                                         scored  1/4" and 1/2"
Matting  -  rich razzleberry  -  3 5/8" square
Whisper white  -  3 1/2" square
  Score and cut the corners (at the score marks) of your river rock.  Place tape on the bottom and sides, stamp image onto the card and punch 13/4" circle in middle.  Adhere onto your black square.
  Stamp image onto white card and then add tape and adhere to matting. 
How easy is this little card!
Stamp set:  Pocket silhouette and vintage vogue
Card:  Black, rich razzleberry, whisper white and river rock
Ink:  Rose red, old olive and chocolate chip
Tools:  Big shot, square scallop and 1 3/4" circle punch
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day...

Heart to Heart to Heart

Hi everyone,
  Another challenge, Cooking it up with Kate.  The challenge, this time, Use some red, Add a little ribbon and don't forget the corners.  Well I managed to do all that.
  I used a bit of tearing in this card, tore the side and adhered it back on.  I also tore some corners for the top and bottom left side.  I then versa marked the background.  Glittered my hearts and I think the rest is pretty visible.  So here is my card:

Stamp set:  Always
Card:  Riding hood red, pink pirouette and whisper white
Ink:  Riding hood red, rose red, regal rose, old olive, chocolate chip and versa mark
Acc:  Glue dote, riding hood red ribbon, glitter and 2-way glue
Wishing everyone a happy day.....

One Layer Card

Good afternoon,   I am playing the Styles Ink challenge again this week, and it is so hard, to just use one layer.  It always looks like it needs more.  But this challenge was to use two stamps (once) and no sentiment!  Well here is my best shot:

Stamp set:  Always, vintage vogue
Card:  Sahara sand
Ink:  baja breeze, pacific point, old olive, chocolate chip, regal rose and rose red

Time Passing

Hello,
  How quickly is time passing?  Before we know it, it will be the end of the year again!  I am doing the Inkspiration Challenge today, and trying to make another male card (wherever and whenever I can).  So here is my card:

I used the sanded background stamp (tried it in versa mark first but it didn't show up very well, so I used the marina mist which has shown up better.  I embossed the wheels with clear embossing powder and the rest is easy to see.
Stamp set:  Sense of Time, sanded background
Card:  Marina mist, cherry cobbler, basic black, whisper white and dsp - newsprint.
Ink:  Marina mist and basic black
Acc:  Clear embossing powder and dimensionals
Tools:  Heat tool.
I hope you like the card.  Have a lovely evening....

Sunshine Stampers Meet

Good morning,
  On Monday, a group of us demonstrators met (as we do once a month) and do make 'n takes, gossip, gossip and more gossip.  Love catching up with our group.  I was on the run and didn't have time to stay long but the girls very kindly gave me some make 'n takes to take away (he he).  Well, I finished a couple Wednesday night and thought I would share them with you today.

I hope I have done justice to Peta's card (unfortunately she doesn't have a blog).  I so love the beautiful wings, they are on my wish list that is waiting to be sent.

This is such a cute little Easter box by Sonja. 

And one I spent about four hours on, the Never Ending Card (think that is what it is called, by Suzie.  It was in the Stampin! Up Impressions we receive every month.
Suzi gave us the basic card, which is incredibly easy.  I actually got to it a lot later than the first two make 'n takes, as I knew it would be quite involved (and it was).  I love it, but I think it is a work of art.  Continuous folding over and making sure one layer matches the next.  I hope you like what I have done.
Stamp set:  Garden whimsy (one of my first sets I ever bought)
Card:  Old olive, melon mambo, chocolate chip, whisper white and basic grey
Ink:  Regal rose, rose red, old olive
Tools:  Big shot, dot to dot embossing folder, crop-a-dial, paper piercer and mat.
Have a great day.....

Male Pizza Box

Good morning,
  Sorry about yesterday.  I thought I had lots of time and realised I didn't which had me rushing my post.  But I made another pizza box.... for the man, this time, with instructions.

1 piece of card (marina mist) 6" x 11"  scored  1" both sides (on 6")
                                                           scored 1", 5", 6" and 10" (on 11")

Cut, score and fold.  Then tape the flaps to the inside of the box, one side will automatically become the lid.  It doesn't really matter which one as they are both the same size.

This is the inside of the box all taped up.

Of course, I have made this one a lot plainer.  I actually like it like this.  I think I can go a bit overboard sometimes, but I do like the plain and simple.
Stamp set:  Sense of time
Card:  Marina mist, basic grey and very vanilla, dsp - newsprint
Ink:  Marina Mist
Acc:  dimensionals
Tools:  1" circle punch
Thanks, and have a great day.....
