Broke Stampers Unite

How is you week going?? It's the middle of it for most but not for me. I have been on quite a stretch at work and today has become my long awaited and much needed Friday of sorts. I get one day of this week ugh! I'm paying for having the weekend off  earlier this month LOL So because of that and other unforseen adventures that have popped up this week I'm doing a simple and quick set of cards for this weeks featured set. 

I'll stop babbling and get to another Broke Stampers Unite post.

This week we were to make a post using the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set. This set paired with the Into The Woods DSP is such a nice fall set, complete with great fall greetings. I selected some of the suggested colors that match the DSP. Colors like Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, and Soft Suede. I matched up some great ribbons in Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight. 

Such a great way to make some quick and cute fall cards. 

I only did some basic single colored stamping. Nothing too fancy just a way to pop out a bunch of cards in a little time. I did do some fussing cutting on some of the animals. 

Hope you enjoy this weeks set! Be sure to head over to Terri's blog Here to see what fun things she came up with this week. Thank you so much for stopping by.....have a great rest of your week!

Thanks and Giving

Here's a continuation card from yesterday's post. I did add some pearl jewels to this one. Loving the purple hues.

Card base is Elegant Eggplant, I stamped the images in Basic Black and colored them with the markers you see there. Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Perfect Plum. I used some DSP from the English Garden pack. Sentiment was stamped in Elegant Eggplant.

Lighthearted Leaves is really so versatile, I know I keep saying that but it really is. Hope you enjoy today's card. Be sure to come back tomorrow for another Broke Stampers Unite post. We are featuring a certain stamp set. :)
Have a great rest of your day!!!

Grateful Leaf

Well Hello......
I missed today post. Mostly lol. It's been crazy busy for me these last few days and trying to get in here to stamp with the energy to actually stamp has been a challenge in itself. So, here's a card I whipped up this evening, and I'm really happy with the result.
Lighthearted Leaves stamp set
Wisteria Wonder base, with Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum layers. Stamped the image in Basic Black colored it in using Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, and Crushed Curry Stampin write markers.
I used some silver Sequin ribbon and silver cording trim across the bottom and the sentiment was stamped in Perfect Plum.

I have been a Stampin Up! user/stamper for many many years and over this past year I have been updating my supplies including replacing all my ink pads and markers. I'm really loving these colors today! So much better than my older versions that I've been limping along with.

Hope you enjoy this evenings card.....sorry it's so late in the day, but at least I manage a daily post right???
Thank You for stopping by.

Just Sayin Hello

Good Sunday!!!

Hope your weekend is going well. So I combined the festive flower builder punch with some pretty petals DSP and this was the result.
I'm pretty happy with it. I don't think it's a card that would get stuffed in an envelope because it would get squished, but, I like it.

Card base is Calypso Coral with a layer of Whisper White.
Made the flower with the Festive Flower Punch. I layered 8 large petals and 8 small petals with a dimensional in the middle to give it some lift, then layered 4 of the double petals for the center. Added a pearl jewel to finish off the look. Sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral and then the hello is from the Hello You thinlits.

Hope you enjoy today's card....have a great Sunday and Thank You for stopping by.

Thankful Saturday

How are you doing today??? It's my weekend to work so well that's where I'm at. Still fighting a cold though ugh. Hoping I'm on the mend now. I pulled out a set from the Annual catalog that I haven't touched since last December. Wonderous Wreath. Love the matching framelits for this set too.  But then again I love it when I don't have to fussy cut. 

Started with a base of Mossy Meadow. Added a square of Whisper White and then stamped my wreath in Tangelo Twist  with Cajun Crazy. And cut it out  using Dimensionals I popped it up. Added the bow image stamped in Crushed Curry. The sentiment came from the Thankful Forest Friends. I isolated the word thankful using a chocolate chip Stampin write marker then fussy cut it out. Used a strip of Delightful  Dijon dotted lace ribbon.  

It's just a simple card today. Like I said this cold is still hanging around. I have some fun ideas rolling around but having trouble getting excited about stamping when this ick is hanging around. So enough whining. Thank You for stopping by. Go and stamp something fun today!!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday

It's Friday again......Woo Hoo! Unfortunately I have to work all weekend but I have created a fun card for this weeks sketch. Our design this week comes from Stacey Tomkowiak. I had fun with this and decided to use a Christmas set, Joyful Season, but tried a more everyday style card. I love seeing how I can use a set for things other than it's intended purpose. Doesn't look so much like a Christmas card huh? 

I used a base of Basic Black card stock and I embossed it with the Woodlands embossing folder. Sadly you can't really see that in the pic. I then used some DSP from the Go Wild stack with the banner triple punch. I think this stack goes nicely with this set. I used a circle of  the gold foil sheets.for my layered element. I stamped my sentiment from Crazy About You and puched it out with the Word Window Punch. I stamped and Heat embossed my bird with gold embossing powder, then colored it in with the a marker I just realized was a contraband color....What was I thinking?? Ugh anyway, Hope you enjoy this weeks sketch and please play along with us. There's a link at the bottom of the SFF blog post where you can add your own card made with this sketch. Do it...it'll be fun! :) Here's the Link

Have a great weekend...Thanks for stopping by.

Throw Back Thursday

I'm going to pull out a Throw Back Thurday card....! Yes I just did that. LOL This is a card I first posted waaaaay back in July. LOL Why??? Because I had a ton of stamping that I needed to do..... which I was able to complete by the way..... But none of them were cards I could share. :) So 8 cards later I'm fighting a cold and my meds have worn off and it's late and well I had to come up with something. I didn't want to break my streak of a daily post! Okay so that's my story and well here we go.

Card Base is done in Pacific Point. The big butterfly was cut out of DSP with the butterfly framelits. LOVE THIS SET! I used the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Daffodil Delight, sentiment was stamped in Pacific Point using the Crazy About You stamp set. I added some of our delicious rhinestone jewels. 

Wishing you all a great day! Join me tomorrow for some Sketch Frenzy Friday action! Thank You!
