Waltzingmouse Stamps - Pajama Party!!

 

Hello friends!  Today is the start of a brand new feature at Waltzingmouse Stamps - a monthly Pajama Party!  If you've just happened by today, head over to the WMS blog to check it out!  There will be a number of challenges this evening as well as a "Bedtime Story" sketch challenge that you will have one week to complete!  And, because this is the first pj party, we are on the lookout for someone who is on a Waltzingmouse roll to be chosen for a Guest DT spot!  Fun stuff!!

Without further ado, here is this month's sketch - 

For my project, I started off with a panel of white cardstock that I stamped the wonderful cherries on from the new set Big Berries - Cherry.  I just adore this set - it has become one of my go-tos for sure!  I layered the panel onto a pale green card base and then stamped a couple of tickets with a sentiment from the set and a little heart from the new You're a Doll Additions set.

Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you have fun at the party!

Supplies:  Stamps (WMS), Cardstock - Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White (SU!), Ink - Real Red, Chocolate Chip (SU!), Tickets (Bella Creations), foam squares

Neon Splash - PDCC #192

Hello friends!  Today is the start of color splash week at The Play Date Cafe!  I hope you have fun with the neon yellow like I did and I can't wait to see your creations!

I have to admit that the neon trend has mostly been off of my radar so I was a little nervous when I saw this one pop up wondering what I could find.  Lo and behold, I found a wonderful pipe cleaner!  I used a new stamp set from my friend, Wendy (thank you!!), and some fun papers to create the background and added the splash of yellow in the pipe cleaner heart.

Thank you so much for visiting today and I look forward to what you create with this challenge! 

Supplies:  Stamps (Paper Smooches), Cardstock/Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Pipe Cleaner (Amazon.com), DP/Project Life card (Studio Calico)  

The Craft's Meow - New Release Blog Hop!

Hello friends and welcome to the new release DT blog hop with The Craft's Meow!  I hope you've loved what you've seen this week and now you get to see the stamp sets in their entirety!  If you're here from Jennie's blog, you're in the right spot.  If you've just happened by, head over to the TCM blog to get started!

As I mentioned earlier this week, we are in the middle of a baby storm with our group of friends and I'm cranking out baby cards as fast as I can!  I made this one with our friends in mind who are due in early August but just in case their daughter arrives a bit early, I left it on the neutral side to send to another friend who is expecting a boy.  Crazy!

I started off stamping and cutting out the little tag image from the Vintage Baby set and adhered it to a card base I made from some calendar-themed papers.  I stamped the little heart row from Turtle Love onto the bottom of the card and then colored the hearts to match the pretty sunflowers from the paper.  I finished the card with some ribbon and a vintage button in pretty yellows.

Now for the fun part - one of you lucky readers will win all 5 new sets from TCM!  To be eligible, simply leave comments along the hop and Lisa will pick a random winner one designer's blog.
The deadline to comment is 8:00pm PDT, Tuesday July 23rd.  Wow!

Thank you so much for visiting today and off you go to Jessica's blog for more inspiration!

The Craft's Meow - Day Four Previews!

Hello friends and welcome to day four of previews for the wonderful July release with The Craft's Meow!  This is the last day of previews before the big blog hop and today we're previewing "Circle It" designed by Karen Baker!

For my project, I saw the circle around the A+ and it reminded me immediately of school so I tried to incorporate some elements on my card that felt like school!  I started off with a black panel that I inked to make look like a chalk board and then stamped the A+/circle and the "thanks" sentiment.  I layered that panel onto some cork patterned paper and some red dotty paper held by a little clip.

Thanks so much for visiting and don't forget - tomorrow is release day and we'll be having a fun blog hop with a chance to win the entire release!

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), DP (Glitz, Studio Calico), Clip (SU!), Cardstock - Chocolate Chip (SU!), Ink - White Craft (SU!), Embossing Powder (SU!)   

The Craft's Meow - Day Three Previews!

Hello friends and welcome to day three of previews for the wonderful July release with The Craft's Meow!  Today we're previewing "Welcome to the Office" designed by Karen Baker.  Along with a number of fun work-related sentiments, there are other sentiments and images that are so on trend right now and perfect for any type of card you want to make!

I kept it a little CAS for this card and started off with a white card base that I stamped the word "you" and one of the sentiments from the set (this set has a lot of building blocks where you can make your own sentiments and I love that!).  I found some ledger patterned paper and stamped the little lamp in black and the "glow" using some gold metallic ink.  I attached a paper clip and popped the panel up using foam squares.

Thanks so much for visiting today and I'll see you back here tomorrow with something I think is an A+...  :)

The Craft's Meow - Day Two Previews!

Hello friends and welcome to day two of previews for the wonderful July release with The Craft's Meow!  This month, we are previewing 5 new sets and today we're previewing "Vintage Baby" designed by Nina B!  How appropriate is this set for where I am in life right now?!  We are a mere 7 weeks from meeting our little and we can't wait!  :)

 There is definitely a "baby storm" with our group of friends right now and this card was made for little Noah who arrived one day early (and right on time to share my birthday a couple of weeks ago!)  We haven't met him yet but will get to do that this week!  Yay for squishy babies! 

I wanted to keep this card neutral so I layered a couple of neutral patterned papers that I had inked the edges of over a brown card base and added some washi tape to cover the seam.  I stamped the pram image onto the top half and one of the sentiments from the set onto the lower half finishing the card with some little sequin stars. 

Thank you so much for visiting today and don't forget to stop by the TCM blog for a chance to win this set for yourself! 

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), DP - Lucky Charm collection (Dear Lizzy/AC), Washi Tape (Ginko Tapes), Ink/Cardstock - Chocolate Chip (SU!), Tea Dye Duo (PTI), Sequins (Studio Calico)

Make a Wish - PDCC #191

Hello friends and welcome to another fun challenge at The Play Date Cafe!  This week, we are sponsored by Mona Pendleton and are showcasing her fabulous new stamps and dies available at My Favorite Things!  I've had a chance to work with Mona in the past and her creativity is just so inspirational! 

I was lucky enough to get the "Dandelion Wishes" stamp set along with the coordinating dies to play with and they are so much fun!  And, I just received a big package of new supplies, including colored inks and cardstock that are just perfect for this color story!  For my card, I started off with a cantaloupe card base and layered some patterned paper over the top.  I stamped the background with one of the wonderful sentiments from the set and then stamped the dandelion on a smaller panel and embossed the white "fluff."  I finished the card with a stamped dandelion in this week's colors that I cut out with the dies.  A fun contrast for sure!  

Thanks so much for visiting and don't forget to link up by Tuesday for a chance at a wonderful prize sponsored by MFT!
