Inspiration and Three Amigas Challenges In One

Well, I'm on time for the Inspiration Challenge on SCS, but had to wait until the end of the week to make my Three Amigas Weekly Challenge ...sigh... so here is my submission for both! I was inspired by this card. I chose to just use the colors and the theme of outlines. The Three Amigas Weekly Challenge was to use a non-favorite color. I do have a few. I never use teal, it's a difficult color for me to come up with combinations for. Here's proof that it works to look at photos, magazine pages, and the great outdoors for color combo inspiration! If you'd like to play along on the TAWC, just make a card, post it online and post a comment here with the link. Mark it TAWC2. Or post it on splitcoaststampers and use TAWC2 in the key words.
This is the card that I made with it, using my new Fifth Avenue Floral. I LOVE this stamp set! Look at what a beautiful card it is, and it's super easy to make! No fuss, the kind that you can pump out in 5 minutes. We'll be making this card at Kelly's workshop, coming up this next Saturday.
Supplies: Tangerine Tango, Taken With Teal, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White cardstock. Tangerine Tango, Taken With Teal, abd Chocolate Chip classic ink, Scallop Circles #2 Bigz Die, Big Shot, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 3/8" Chocolate Grosgrain.

Another new stamp set that I LOVE!!

O what a happy set this is! It's called Branch Out. You stamp the tree, then decide what else it needs. I added leaves in 3 different colors, a tire swing, bird house, and a red bird. I sponged the grass and the sky, then called it a card! The texture plate used on the Artichoke and Kraft is Grass from Fiskars. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the SU! texture plates next month. I used Happy Everything for the sentiment, pierced a line underneath the words, sponged a bit of Artichoke over the texture and used up some retired Vintage Brads. You can bet that I'll be using this set more often!

I have a new stamp set!!! :-)

Well, I have a couple of new stamp sets from the new catalog... and can I tell you how much I love them???!!! This stamp set is 5th Avenue Floral, part of Stampin' Up!'s new Manhattan collection. You'll be seeing a few new cards featuring this stamp set. Oh my, I love it! I stamped the flowers in StazOn Black on Naturals White cardstock, then watercolored using the aquapainter and the ink from the lids of my ink pads. The rest of the ingredients are lots of layers of cardstock (doesn't that make it look very finished off?), the color spritzer, glitter (of course!!!), and my Watercolor Vine jumbo wheel. Add a little paper piercing in the corner and you're done! Took me about 20 min. from an idea of colors to completed card - not bad! The colors are the color challenge of the day at SCS. I'll be offering a watercoloring class soon, so for my local customers, stay tuned. :-)

Scrapbook Page Inspired by a Calendar

Today's Inspiration Challenge was to go to Lang Calendars, choose a calendar, and make a project using that in- spiration. I needed some scrapbook pages for the 45th Anniversary of my parents, so I chose to convert this Calendar image to a scrapbook page. Using some retired Designer Paper, my retired Wild Rose stamp set and some cardstock the colors of the celebration, I created this page. I made a second page the mirror image of this one. I wish that I had that retired Peony set. That would have been stunning. Now, to add the pics.

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station!

New Texture Plate

Stampin' Up! has texture plates in the new catalog! While this isn't one of them (because I have to wait until Feb. 1st to place my next order ...bummer!) it's an example of what you can do with them. Just put your cardstock through the Big Shot with the texture plate and out comes a beautifully patterned card. This is a sympathy card for some friends of ours that just lost their mom to cancer. On the smaller silk flower, I colored a bit with my amethyst marker and then spread the color a bit with my aquapainter. Gives it a nice soft look. The flowers and half pearl (both from the Pretties Kit) are held in place with mini glue dots. I send the wide oval punched celery through the Big Shot with the texture plate, stamped "with sympathy" from the Beautiful Borders stamp set on white and punched it out with the large oval.
Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

Two Posts in One Day!

This card is for a weekly challenge that I participate in with Sharon and Joanne. This week is to CASE (copy and steal everything) a card out of the new catalog. I chose a card on pg. 46. Of course I didn't have the new stamps, so had to make do with what I had. The flowers are from the new stamp set Sweet Stems and the flower pot is the round tab punch with Totally Tabs stamped on it. The colors are Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss, and Very Vanilla. Warm Wishes is from the Hugs and Wishes stamp set. Fun to CASE a card once in awhile instead of coming up with your own ideas all of the time.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting the Stamping Station!

Sneak Peek of SAB - Possible Idea for the Tea Party

Good Morning! I dropped the boys off at school and now it's time to post another card idea. This is for a shoebox swap that I'm going to on Sunday. The photo isn't very good, so please ignore the quality of the pic.
I folded my Pink Pirouette cardstock in half, then placed on the Top Note Die with the fold of the cardstock just below the top perforations. I repeated that with the Designer Paper from Sale-A-Bration. (Yes, this is a sneak peek!) I cut along the perforated line on the Designer Paper and smoothed out any roughness with my sanding block. The white greeting is a SAB stamp set - isn't it cute???!!! It's called Yummy. I love this one. I stamped it in Whisper White Craft after rubbing my Embossing Buddy across it. I sprinkled White Embossing Powder over it and heated until melted. Next, I used my cute embosslit for the Closes to Cocoa and Pink Pirouette flowers. I used a couple of Mini Glue Dots on the backs to adhere them to the DP, tied a bow and attached that with a Mini Glue Dot. Voila! A very simple and sweet card. This would also double great for a bag topper for Valentine's Day. Ok, off to cut the cardstock for this swap. Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

Another Award!

I was sent this award by my wonderful friend, Joanne, aka sleepyinseattle! She's so sweet! I love her stamped creations and how she's able to pump out so much...amazing! Joanne, can I be you when I grow up? She sent me this awhile ago, but that was before I was following a lot of blogs. So, I'm sorry Joanne for the delay, but thank you for the honor!

Here are the rules:

1. Link to the person or persons who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Ok, so here are the 6 random things about me:

1. I love to read. My most recent favorite is "The Yada Yada Prayer Group" by Neta Jackson.

2. My husband calls me the Christmas Queen. I have about 26 boxes of Christmas decorations, most of which are for my Dept. 56 Dickens Village.

3. I've had the honor of preparing some programs for funerals in our church recently. It fills me with a great sense of gravity and service, because I want it to be something special and to make the load that the family is carrying lighter.

4. I have a hard time using the color More Mustard in my stamping creations. I'm trying to get over it, LOL.

5. I used to have 40+ house plants, but now my time is taken between stamping and the computer.

6. I'm a recovering OCD person. I used to have to have all of my CD's in genre, then by artist, then in chronological order. My 3 sons cured me of that one after they pulled them all down hundreds of times! Now, there's no order in my life!

Here are the blogs that I'm tagging:

Diane's Designs

Stampin Maniac

Me Time

Bytes From Barb

Carrie Stamps

Scrap Everything

OK! There you go. Now I have to let everyone know.....

Blessings,

Julie

Awards! Cool!

How cool is this? Julie Temple sent me these awards - it totally made my day! I especially like the Fabulous award because it reminds me of a great new stamp set that is seriously high on my wish list!

So here are the rules:

First, list 5 addictions of mine. (only five???!!! Oiy!)

1. My computer!
2. Rubber Stamps (uh...yeah...like you couldn't tell LOL!)
3. Playing Games. I love board, card, computer, Wii,.... My newest love is Wii Fit. My current online fav is Coffee Rush at Big Fish Games.
4. Singing and Music. It lightens my spirit. I love to listen to Contemporary Christian music because the words repeat in my head and helps me praise God all day long. It's a great attitude adjustor. I find myself singing or humming softly, even in stores. (I do get a lot of heads turning my way, like people aren't used to seeing others be visibly joyful or something.)
5. Camping. I'm not a dirt or backpack camper. We have a pop-up tent trailer. I like to go places that have beautiful grass. That way the floor of the trailer stays decently clean and I can walk around barefoot. Maybe walking around barefoot should be one of my top 5's, because I even garden barefoot! (Gross when I step on a slug.) Camping is even better when we go with family, which happens at least twice a year.

Now I need to pass on the awards to 5 deserving blogs, link them, and let them know:

1. Joanne - she's a wonderful stamping friend. I do love our stamping playdates and her amazing talent helps me to reach a little farther in my creations.
2. Sharon - my wonderful & fun upline. It amazes me that she has any time to stamp and be an upline - she's crazy busy with her family. I don't know how she manages.
3. Diane - I love her stamping ideas. I love her blog. I've never met her, but the emails we've exchanged make me think she's very sweet.
4. Barb - My wonderful online friend who's been through so much and still finds some time to stamp and blog. I admire her perseverance.
5. Janet - I've met her once and exchanged emails with her. I love her stamping. We're sidelines, but live in different states.

Wow! It wasn't easy just listing 5. I could go on and on. Now I'm going to go let these wonderful people know about their awards.

Blessing,
Julie

Frosty and New Sweet Stems Stamp Set

This morning we woke up to some serious frost outside! Yes, there are many parts of the world that have frost every morning at this time of year, but here in the Pacific Northwest, we don't get much. So I wanted to take this card outside for better lighting (since it's very foggy and dark) and my feet almost slipped right out from under me. LOL I forget how slippery the deck is when it's frozen. Can you see all of our fog in the background. That's a beautiful valley with the Cascade mountains in the background. LOL, that is, if it ever burns off!

Do you ever find yourself not using a certain color? My "not" color is mustard, so I decided to challenge myself to use it. This card and the next will both have mustard elements. I stamped the new Sweet Stems stamp set in Basic Black on the background Whisper White and then colored them in with my Stampin' Write Ruby Red and More Mustard markers. The sentiment is from Hugs and Wishes in Ruby Red. I punched it out with the Key Tag punch and the oval behind it with the Wide Oval punch. I scraped the edges of both punches on the ink pads for a bit of dimension. The Designer Paper behind the images is from the Level 1 Hostess Pack of the last catalog. (There are new colors in this catalog and I LOVE them!) The center panel is the opposite side of the DP. After putting it all together, I thought it needed just a bit of something, so I picked up my Black Stampin' Write Journaler to create a faux stitching look. Do you like it?

Well, thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station again. I'd love to hear from you.

Blessings,
Julie

Watercoloring With Markers

It has been such a crazy week! So today, I promised myself that I would take time to stamp. And I did it! I made this card for a challenge that a couple of friends and I do weekly. This week's challenge was to use markers in an unusual way. I stamped my poppy in StazOn Black on a square of watercolor paper. After using my marker on some highlighted areas of the card, I spread the color around with an Aquapainter. I used the marker to outline the edges and spread that in, though it's hard to see in this photo. After stamping the Elegantly Eggplant background with Baroque Motifs in Perfect Plum. Why use a different shade of purple? To make it a more subtle color, without going as light as VersaMark. The scallop edge punch and paper piercer were used on the bottom edge with a piece of black glued on behind it, on the inside of the card. I used a piece of Bashful Blue taffeta across the black cardstock and square Ice Rhinestone Brads for embellishment.

Supplies: Eggplant, Black, Artichoke, and watercolor cardstocks. Black Stazon. Artichoke, Perfect Plum, Brocade Blue Markers. Baroque Motifs and Bloomin' Wonderful stamp sets. Bashful Blue Taffeta, Ice Rhinestone Brads, Aquapainter, Scallop Edge Punch, Paper Piercer & Foam Mat.

Another Valentine...Sorry It's Been a Few Days

Hi there! Sorry it's been a few days, but life seems to be passing me by and I'm not getting anything done! Anyway, wanted to try this layout - thought it looked like it could be fun. And again, I couldn't resist using my new Love You Much bundle. The Designer Paper is from Frosty Days (Holiday Mini Catalog), it's the opposite side of the quilted snowflakes. I have a bunch of it left, so thought I'd challenge myself to use orange DP for a Valentine card. Love You Much was stamped in Riding Hood Red, then colored in with Blender Pens and Pacific Point ink. Do you like the fading in look? The background is the large heart stamped in Only Orange, stamped off twice, and then stamped on the Naturals White. The scalloped circles were stamped first, then punched with the Scallop Circle Punch. After that, I took my 1/8" circle punch (which is being discontinued!) and punched out all the scallops. I mounted Riding Hood Red Scallops behind them. I tried out the ribbon flower by pulling a thread on the taffeta, but it doesn't look so good in the pic. I promise that it looks better IRL. So that's it. Now you know all about this project. Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

Blessings,
Julie

Easy To Alter Card Layout

Here's a card that we made at a workshop earlier in the catalog year. I really loved the versatility of this card. It could serve for almost anything: birthday, wedding, get well, anniversary, etc. We stamped with Baroque Motifs, put an Ice Rhinestone Brad through the center of the medallion, and used the Kiwi Satin Ribbon behind the medallion. I loved the layout so much, that I wanted repeat it! So I took one of my retiring stamp sets, changed the colors to go with another sheet from the same Designer Series Paper (Urban Garden - isn't it gorgeous paper??!!) and this is what we made.

So this is what it looks like with the Kind Thoughts and Warm Words stamp sets. I love Not Quite Navy, a beatiful and rich color, and paired with the Bashful Blue and Vanilla, it has an elegant, fun look. The Scallop Circle Punch coordinates so well with the center swirl and I LOVE the Ice Rhinestone Brads. We used our paper snips to cut out the butterfly. I hightly recommend these scissors, since they make cutting paper a breeze - way better than the cheap scissors I bought at the local craft store. I'd love to see what you can do with this layout. Post a link here or send me an email with it attached. And thanks for sharing!

More From the Love You Much Bundle

Here's a card that we made at Saturday's workshop. I've added some details that were left out for time's sake. The original didn't have all of the cute little dots, the library clip, and the ribbon. The scallop is made from 1/2" circles lined up and glued to the back of the designer series paper. Isn't that paper cute???!!! And talk about an easy card to create, since the color scheme is already figured out by the designer paper. I love this stamp set and the coordinating punch. What a great bundle! And the price of the bundle saves you $10.

Supplies: Love You Much stamps, Heart to Heart Punch, Candy Lane Designer Paper, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red Cardstocks, Riding Hood Red Classic Ink Pad, Close to Cocoa, Pretty in Pink, and Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Markers, 1/2" Circle Punch, Library Clip, Riding Hood Red Taffeta

Baja Silhouette and the Retiring Accessories List

Here is a card that we made at the last workshop. The Upsy Daisy flowers are stamped in VersaMark after rubbing the Baja Breeze cardstock with the Embossing Buddy. (Now that's a really necessary part of a beautifully embossed project!) After stamping the image, we sprinkled white embossing powder on it, heated it up and then sponged the edges of the cardstock to provide some additional dimension. We stamped "Celebrate" in Baja Breeze here, but decided to emboss the word in white at the workshop. We also sponged the edges of the Ski Slope Designer Paper.

And did you notice that next to the card, there is a mess of soil on the carpet? Yes, one of my crazy kitties, Luminara knocked it over. This is the perpetrator. She's a really fun cat, very loving, but also loves to play.

Hopefully I'll have a chance to post again soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all! Sorry for the long time between posts. I hope you all had some wonderful times with family and friends during the holidays. I'm working on some new projects and a new class or two, so stay posted. For those of you who are long distance, I'll be making up project packages that you can purchase to make at your home.

Cheers,
Julie
