New Home

Hi there and happy Friday!  Hope you had a great week!  Mine sure ended up being a lot busier than planned, which is the reason I didn't get to blog for the last couple of days!  So without further ado, I'll get to the card for today. 
One of my customers requested a card for a new home.  So this is what I came up with.  The house is made from a square of the new 2013-15 In Color Baked Brown Sugar Designer Series Paper Stack and coordinating cardstock roof .  Love the new In Colors!  The sentiment is from the Sweet Essentials set.

All Stampin' Up! supplies used unless otherwise noted.

Must run now - taking a little day trip to pick up our son about 1-1/2 hrs away.  Saturday is our Card Buffet at DeLeo's in Florissant.  So it's still busy!  Hope you have a great weekend!  I appreciate you stopping by for a visit!

 

Time to Take Note

Hi there!  It was a very busy day today so this will be short so I can complete some tasks before turning in early tonight. 
The above notepad was another make n take project at the Stampin' Up! Regional held here in St Louis last month.  The color combination is basically the same as yesterday's card, with the exception of Calypso Coral and More Mustard.  The gray cover was scored in both directions at every half inch.  It adds a bit of dimensional interest - along with the clear vintage faceted designer buttons.

OK, that's it for now.  Thanks for dropping in today!

Regional Clockworks

Hi there and happy hump day!  Had to run a few errands this morning.  What a beautiful day!  That is supposed to change tonight or tomorrow with temps dropping down into the 50's.  Oh well, it will be summer soon enough!   Now for the card.  It was one of the make n take projects Stampin' Up! provided at the St Louis Regional.  My first impression was ehh, so-so.  It has a young, funky flair and is not "my style" of card but it has really grown on me. So much so, that I ordered the stamp set!  I like the color combination and the unique way the Bakers Twin is wrapped around the card front, too.  A stencil was used to make the Gumball Green border and circles, which we made by using a scrap piece of cardstock and punching out circles in a random pattern.  Gumball Green ink was then sponged on with a dauber.  We finished the card with a little stamping and embellishing.
