Fun Fold Swap!

Hello Stampers! Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well!  For the Catalog Premier event that Stampin' Up! hosted in Mesa, I hosted an organized swap with my fellow Arizona demos.  As I sat down to create my card, I came across the new challenge at the Friday Mashup and I knew I hit gold!

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project with "Polka Dots".
2. Create a project with a "Fun Fold".
3. or Mash it Up! and create a "Fun Fold project with some Polka Dots"!

Ready to see what I created following the Friday Mashup challenge? You probably won't be surprised because I created another interlocking framelits card. I also decorated the inside of my card. I'm getting lots of ideas of different ways to use this fun fold! Hmm...with so many new stamp sets in the upcoming catalog, don't be surprised if I keep using this style of card again. 

I created 12 of these beauties! I love the way they came out! Can you guess what colors I used? Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Strawberry Slush, lol. 

Come back tomorrow when I share my creation for our May Blog Hop with Di's Country INKers. My second blog hop! 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time!

Nacho...Create with Connie & Mary

Happy Tuesday Stampers!  We have a fun new sketch for you today at Nacho Average Challenges, we hope it will inspire you to create with us this week.

I also used the current color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary, they always have great color combos and sketches. 

This is the end result of combining both challenges:

I was really excited when I saw our sketch for this week and even more so when I realized the Top Note Bigz Die isn't retiring! I've been neglecting this die and I don't know why. I embossed the Regarding Dahlia with white embossing powder onto the watercolor paper. I colored the flowers with our blender pens. Sad to see Hello, Lovely retire, but I think I will keep it in my stash. 

Come back tomorrow when I share the swap I made for the Stampin' Up! catalog premier party I went to yesterday! It was so much fun and exciting! Thanks for stopping by today, until next time! 

Nacho Crush!

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Hope your week is going well!  We have a fun new color challenge for you at Nacho Average Challenges, and it's one of my favorites! We hope you will join us this week and share your creations with us!

I created another interlocking framelits card. Remember this card from two Nacho challenges ago...well I was inspired to create another one. This time using the On Film framelits. I've been having fun using this technique and I have a couple of swaps I'm working on that I think I will create something similar to this. Have you tired this technique yet?

I'm having fun decorating the inside of my cards lately, adds an extra touch. I also have enough space to write a personal note.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a great week! 

New Sunday Stamps Sketch

Hello Stampers! So sorry for my late post for our current Sunday Stamps sketch.  Hope you had a wonderful Easter yesterday.  We hosted Easter at our house and we were super busy!  It was quite a feast! So my Sunday Stamps post is up on a Monday! :)

Anyhow, Hayley has a fun new sketch for us to try out. We hope it inspires you to create along with us!

Here is what I created:

I used the Retro Fresh Designer Journaling Tags in a different way, I just cut them out! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Until next time!

Nacho Flower!

Happy Tuesday Stampers! I along with my fellow Nachos have a new sketch for you to play along with starting today. We hope it will inspire you to create something beautiful with us! We love seeing what you create!

Here is my simple take on the sketch:

I also used the current color challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Nacho...Medallions

Hello Stampers! Happy Tuesday! We have a beautiful new color challenge for you starting today at Nacho Average Challenges that we hope it will inspire you to create along with us.

 I'm so excited to show you my creation for our challenge this week. These colors inspired me to ink up a stamp set that I had not yet inked, Daydream Medallions. I used white and black embossing powders to make the flower images stand out.

Here is another view of the front, you can see the interlocking part of the card. I love it and I think I have a new addiction to making this type of card. It's just so cool! Amazing what can you do with paper!

This is the inside of my card. Do you ever amaze yourself and think, "WOW, I created this", well, that's what I've been thinking every time I see this card now. 

A huge thanks to fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Julie Davison for her tutorial on how to create this interlocking framelits card. Thank you Julie! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time. 

Monday Night Stamping with Sketch Frenzy Friday

Hello Stampers! Hope your Monday night is going well.  I'm back today with a new creation inspired by the sketch over at Sketch Frenzy Friday. Even though it's a Monday, I'm already wishing it was Friday. So while I wait, the next best thing is to play along with the designers at Sketch Frenzy Friday. Check them out if you have a chance.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I can't get enough of this DSP! I love it, but I'm trying to use it as much as I can. As I've been mentioning lately, trying to use up my supplies before the new catalog arrives! Oh the anticipation! I'm also happy that the Banner Punch will be carried over into the new catalog. So at least I know I can keep using it even though Sale-a-Bration is now over. Anyhow, hope your have a nice evening!

Thanks for visiting my blog today, until next time!
