Here's the super cute card I came up with for <strike>this sketch challenge on </strike><a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: line-through;">'Tis the Season.</a>for what would have been our next challenge.<br />
<br />
I used the bow from the new Bear Hugs stamp set, in Cherry Cobbler, of course.<br />
<br />
I seriously love how this card came together! <br />

I really love this color challenge. The challenge colors are dark pine (I used Handsome Hunter), medium green (I used Garden Green), white, and gray/silver (I used Smoky Slate and a little bling of silver glitter paper).<br />
<br />
I also added an even lighter green brad to the sentiment panel. <br />
<br />
Just call me CAS... I'm good with it! It's my fav...<br />
<br />
So, what are you waiting for? Get over to <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a>, check out the talented design crew, and then get busy and make your own. When you finish, make sure you post it so we can all admire your work. I can't wait to see what you come up with!<br />

I am proud and excited to finally produce a class and get it on the books!<br />
<br />
The class was born out of my need for thank you cards after Christmas. If you need thank you cards, this class is for you.<br />
<br />
However, if you need birthday cards, well, this class is for you, too. Each of these cards would be perfect as a birthday card. <br />

This class has 6 thank you cards. It will be offered at 4:00 pm on Friday, February 12th or 10:00 am Saturday, February 13th. The class fee is $20.00<br />

Here's what I came up with for this sketch. I love it!<br />
<br />
It's a great way to use up some fun scraps (I just can't throw them away!)<br />
<br />
I added a layer of Gumball Green under the sentiment, stamped in Cherry Cobbler, added an espresso ribbon and three espresso colored pearls, and this card was done. This one would be an easy one to reproduce a few times, if you know what I mean!<br />
<br />

Here's my take on the colors given to us on the <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season </a>Color Challenge this week, the first challenge of 2016.<br />
<br />
I looked at the colors and went with a Very Vanilla base and a panel of Tip Top Taupe and Pink Pirouette. (The taupe is a little bit darker than the color showing in the challenge.... shhhhhh.... don't tell!) It's hard to tell from the picture, but the taupe layer is embossed with the gently falling embossing folder.<br />
<br />
Next there are three trees in vanilla and Regal Rose. Unusual colors for trees, I know, but I really wanted to use this new set of trees and the dies that I bought myself for Christmas! <br />
<br />
So now that you know what I came up with, you should head over to <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a> and see what the rest of the team came up with, and then play alongLisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16201730109690859504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668044548150849686.post-6679840886596734602015-12-04T05:55:00.000-08:002015-12-04T05:55:26.118-08:00'Tis the Season 56, A Photo Challenge! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's what I created for the newest challenge on 'Tis the Season, where it's Christmas all year long.<br />
<br />
I have been wanting to get some ink on my new set, Winter Wishes, and when I saw this newest challenge, I knew that I'd have to use this set.<br />
<br />
I also have been wanting to use the Hardwood background stamp to make the scalloped top fence... perfect for this challenge! <br />
<br />
I did some incredibly fussy cutting on those skates and branch of pine.<br />
<br />
I love how it turned out... even if I did accidentally emboss the falling snowflakes on the wrong side of the paper! <br />
<br />
Check out the picture below, check out what the other ladies on the 'Tis the Season design team created, and play along! <br />

I just loved trying to decide what to make using these colors! I immediately thought of a million cool snowflake cards, but I wanted to challenge myself a bit this time, exercise the big muscle inside my skull. <br />
<br />
I used this OLD set. I fell in love with the straight lines of gifts. WARNING: this set is color heavy, but the little girl in me wanted to color today. <br />

I went clean and simple with this challenge number 50 on 'Tis the Season Christmas card challenge. <br />
<br />
I will say that I always have the hardest time with the the photo challenges. I embossed the pine branches with emerald embossing powder. Then I embossed the ornament with Cherry Cobbler and a gold embossing powder. I cut that out so that no white paper showed on the edge. I sponged the edges in Cherry Cobbler. I popped that up (although it is impossible to tell from this picture). I used large and small rhinestones to imitate the colored lights that are shining from the tree. <br />
<br />
You should give it a shot... Head over to 'Tis the Season and play along! Here's the photo to inspire your work. Make sure you post your creation to 'Tis the Season so we get to see what you came up with. <br />

This is my take on the new challenge on <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a>. <br />
<br />
I was looking at my stamps for something big to fill up that square. I used this big poinsettia. I went with that theme for the embossing folder, too. I added a Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon. <br />
<br />
On the flower itself, I inked it in black and then stamped it off once. Then I used my blender pen to color that flower in. I also used some gold metallic ink to create the berries and to add a bit of gold on the flowers. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HPyzjZFPHAs/VdJg8AWlPWI/AAAAAAAAENs/lgcUin02smo/s1600/IMG_5723%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HPyzjZFPHAs/VdJg8AWlPWI/AAAAAAAAENs/lgcUin02smo/s320/IMG_5723%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I added my sentiment on before I colored in the flower, embossing it in gold to match the paper and the berries. <br />
<br />
Inside, a lovely message to the receiver of this card<br />
<br />

Photos don't do these sets justice!<br />
<br />
This class will be a bit different; I'll have papers ready for sets of 4. There will be lots of different choices to make. You just need to give me an idea of how many gift sets you want to make. <br />
<br />
You can make one set for $10. Each additional set is only $5.00 each!!!! <br />
<br />
Just think... birthday gifts, hostess gifts, teacher gifts, neighbor gifts, hostess gifts, stocking stuffers (gasp! I know... I said it!)<br />
<br />
You will have lots of options. <br />

This time, we have a color challenge for you guys! These are some pretty non-traditional Christmas colors, and I took the directions literally and did change a few things up. I used Old Olive instead of the Always Artichoke. I also used So Saffron instead of Daffodil Delight, and Melon Mambo instead of the Strawberry Slush (but those two are so close to each other anyway...)<br />
<br />
I am really happy with how it came out. I used a blender pen to color in the tree; I think it's a little softer that way, don't you?<br />
<br />
Why don't you try and play along? Don't forget to go to <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a> and add your card to play along!<br />

Here's my take on the <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a> challenge posted this week. <br />
<br />
I chose my base based on that big blue blog in the corner of the picture. The tree goes from Sky Blue to Pirouette Pink with a bit of Blushing Bride on the top. I colored the ornaments with my Pretty in Pink, Tempting Turquoise, and Regal Rose. I topped the tree with a tiny glitter star. There's also a stripe of Pink Pirouette, embossed with snowflakes, across the middle. <br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3oXk8fTrKZ4/VYchibwn9AI/AAAAAAAAEJY/7rePJgiPNjQ/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3oXk8fTrKZ4/VYchibwn9AI/AAAAAAAAEJY/7rePJgiPNjQ/s400/012.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
I am pleased to present to you my take on the 45th, extremely challenging color challenge brought to you by <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a>... where it's Christmas all year long!<br />
<br />
This time, we are give the color challenge of Navy, Sand, and Concord. Since my go to concord would be Stampin' Up's Concord Crush, I went to that color folder (I am a little OCD...) and found mere scraps left of my stash. Okay... that's cool... it's meant to be used, not hoarded...<br />
<br />
These colors stumped me for a bit, I have to admit. They are not what I like to call, "traditional" Christmas colors. <br />
<br />
So I searched for something that didn't scream for those "traditional" colors... stars, baby!<br />
<br />
I have been wanting to play more with my star dies and my Many Merry Stars Stamp Set (double alliteration... nice, Stampin' Up). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gbt2s22rfkI/VYchkxPoz7I/AAAAAAAAEJg/UnjkCo_58ik/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gbt2s22rfkI/VYchkxPoz7I/AAAAAAAAEJg/UnjkCo_58ik/s400/013.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
Here is a product of their union. I tried to take a side shot to show you both the paper piercing in the big Night of Navy star and the top Sahara Sand star, <b>and</b> the fact that each layer is popped up giving such a cool 3D effect that <strike>you</strike> I really can't capture in a photo.<br />
<br />
I added the sentiment from the set with the same name, added one piece of bling right in the center, and called it a day. <br />
<br />
Why don't you head over to <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a> and play along with us... show us what you've got! <br />

I love this sweet card! <br />
<br />
I have created so many cards (in my head) using this sketch. I think it would work so well for so many cards. Here I created this sweet little snow guy card and I think it is SOOOOOOOOOOO cute.<br />
<br />
This sketch is fast and easy! Coloring this guy in is what took me the longest. <br />
<br />
Why don't you head over to the<a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/"> 'Tis the Season</a>, check out what the rest of the team came up with, and then play along with us! Here's the sketch for you...<br />

Since the Mother's Day open house was so successful, I thought I'd try it with Father's Day!<br />
<br />
I'll have a bunch of stuff available for you to make a Father's Day card. Make as many as you need and personalize them for your dad, husband, brother, grandfather, or friends, <br />
<br />
Here's a small sampling of Father's Day stamps (I just fell in love with the Da Vinci Dad). I have tons more: tool stamps, punch art wrenches, boats, motorcycles, fish, and more! If your guy loves it, I probably have it.<br />
<br />
This type of class is perfect for Mommy and Me.<br />
<br />

Boy was I stumped at this mix of colors originally! I love the Crumb Cake and grey. I also love the Cherry Cobbler and Real Red, but I just never use the two reds together...<br />
<br />
I must say I am quite pleased with how this turned out. I inked up the whole wreath stamp in Crumb Cake, and then I individual leaves grey and cobbler. I stamped it on Very Vanilla. I created a vanilla ribbon of paper. I stamped "joy" in cherry, "season of" in grey, and spritzed some red and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink. I also added red glitter to the wreath and complimented that with a red layer of glitter paper. I also threw a layer of gray under the image and popped the whole layer on top of a Crumb Cake base. <br />
<br />
Now that you know the colors, why don't you head over to <a href="http://tistheseasonstamping.blogspot.com/">'Tis the Season</a>, see what the rest of the designers created, and then post your creation. I can't see what you come up with!<br />
