Baseball Fever!

 

Hi there!  Today Mary Taylor and I have another Card Buffet so this will be a quick post.  Here is one of the cards from our Buffet line-up, which has been popular.  (St. Louisians love their baseball.)  My inspiration came from this card posted on Paper Ecstasy's blog.  She doesn't list her name anywhere on the blog - only her friend's name, who is a Demonstrator.  (If you find out her name, please let me know.)  The Night of Navy card base was cut from the Circle Thinlits Die.  A template was used to draw a line for the "stitching".  Are you thinking the Chevron punch was used for the "stitching"?  Nope!  They were cut from one of the dies included with the Circle Thinlits and are smaller than those from the Chevron punch. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.  If you have any questions about anything, though, please feel free to contact me.

Must get going!  Thank you for visiting today!

Gorgeous Grunge

Hi there!  Gosh, I can't believe it's already the middle of the week!  I'm on my way out the door so this will be a quick post.  I CASEd this card from Adriana Benetiz click here to see her card using the Gorgeous Grunge set in a unique way.  I wanted more of a starry night feel so chose to use a different color pallet - Marina Mist and Midnight Muse.  The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials and the star image is from Pennant Parade.  I used Dazzling Details on all of the stars except the one by the sentiment, which has a rhinestone.  Then I decided to step it up a bit......

Here a Midnight Muse card base was used for the stepped up version.  I wanted the "streaks" to be more centered and decided to use Dazzling Diamonds on the stars.  Unfortunately, they don't show up very well in the photo.  A rhinestone was still used on the star by the sentiment.

Ok, must get going to visit a friend in the hospital.  Thanks for stopping in today!

Happy New Year - Soon!

Hi there!  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Did you gobble til you wobbled?  I know I did!  So now it's the mad rush for the Christmas season.  Speaking of Christmas, that brings us to the last Camp card. If you don't get those Christmas cards made this year, how about a Happy New Year card?  This card showcases the Pennant Parade set, which was used to make the party hat. You can use the same image to make trees - Christmas or just plain trees.  It is such a versitle set.

The hat was stamped in black ink.  Use a glue pen in the white spaces, then sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds.  The square punch is used to nip out the end of the flag - make sure it's even on both sides and that the point will be in the middle.  I envisioned the circles image from the Circle Circus set to be "tiny bubbles".  Makes me wanna sing (for those of you who remember Don Ho's song).  lol  Anyway, stamp Versamark where you want the gold "bubbles", sprinkle with embossing powder, and heat set.  Repeat this process for the silver circles.
