Freshly Made Sneakers

Happy Sunday stampers! Have you all had a great weekend?  As always, ours has been busy!  Our Saturday was full of sports...which is how our Saturday's will be until the middle of summer, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

I am supposed to be cleaning house and working on taxes today, but I got a little distracted when I started cleaning my craft room and decided my time would be better spent playing along with this week's Freshly Made Sketches sketch!

 

A friend requested a fun card for her niece who will be turning 9 this week.  This sketch was a fun way to use some of the awesome Bubbles & Fizz DSP along with my favorite Epic Celebrations stamp set, both from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  I just LOVE those sneakers!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Bubbles & Fizz DSP, Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper

Ink ~ Memento, Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay

Stamp Sets ~ Epic Celebrations, Number of Years, Picture Perfect Birthday

Other Supplies ~ Large Numbers Framelits, Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes

 

It's always fun to use products from different suites and make them work together.  I love that about Stampin' Up! products!

 

Okay, I've put it off long enough!  If I expect my father in law to help us with our taxes, I better get on it and get things gathered up for him before he leaves town tomorrow.  But then again...maybe if I wait, I could use it as an excuse to take a trip down to the Oregon Coast...hmmmm ;)

 

Have a great day!

 

Happy Stamping!

I hope you have all had an amazing weekend!  It was another busy one for us, but still a fun one! 

I had my monthly stamp class on Friday and Sunday and decided to be brave and use the awesome new Brusho Crystal Colour.  I was a bit hesitant to use it at first given the fact that I made a HUGE mess the first time I used it, but decided to just go for it!

My stampers LOVED it!!  It was so much fun seeing how different everyone's was and how much fun they all had using it.  I'm so happy I decided to use it :-)  Paired up with the Epic Celebrations stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog, it makes for an... EPIC card!  Thank you to the amazing Allison Okamitsu of Nice People STAMP for the inspiration for these cards!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Basic Black, Lemon Lime Twist, Night of Navy, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Memento, VersaMark, Stampin' Blends, Lemon Lime Twist

Stamp Set ~ Epic Celebrations

Other Supplies ~ White and Silver Embossing Powder, Mini Treat Bags Thinlits, 2" Circle Punch, Starbust Punch, Brusho Crystal Color

 

I LOVE how both of these turned out.  The colors you get from the Brusho are so COOL!

Next stop on the hop is Cathy...I can't wait to see what she has for us this week! Or if you want to hop backwards, you can hop on back to the amazing Amy...I just love her style!

Epicly Awesome Baseball Season

Hello happy stampers and happy Wednesday!!

 

I got my pre-order box a couple of days ago and I could not wait to get the Epic Celebrations stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog inked up.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to do a scrapbook page with this photo of my boys.

 

We spent our spring and summer at the baseball fields and we are counting down the days until baseball season starts again! 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pacific Point, Real Red. Whisper White

Ink ~ Pacific Point, Watercolor Pencils

Stamp Set ~ Epic Celebrations*

Other Supplies ~ Simple Stripes Textured Embossing Folder**, Myths & Magic Specialty Washi Tape**

(*Sale-a-Bration item, **Occasions 2018 Catalog item)

 

The Myths & Magic Washi tape was the perfect added touch!  And those shoes from the Epic Celebrations stamp set...my FAVORITE!!  I added a few splatters of ink to grunge it up a little bit because...you know, boys and baseball mean grunge!

 

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to come back soon for more sneak peeks of what's to come in January!

 

Happy Stamping!
