Take 3:Summer


I'm outside my color box for today's card. Awhile back Nicole Heady posted Spring color schemes from each designer in this post. I decided to give Heather Nichol's scheme a try. A also used this great sketch from 2sketches4U. 

 
I love the results! It feels, light, airy, and oh so fun! Take 3:Summer is the perfect set for quick cards. Add the die cut flowers, and impression plates and you are done. 


Are your plans in place for the holiday weekend? We will be spending the day at the lake! ~ Rhonda

supplies used:
stamps: Papertrey Ink (Take Three:Summer, Beautiful Blooms II)
paper: Papertrey Ink (Spring Rain, Vintage Cream, Spring Moss from Pretty Pastels)

Marvelous Monday everyone!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for another great week.  I spent all day Saturday cleaning and organizing the room that all the teenagers "live" in. It has also served as our school room over the years and since we are basically finished with homeschooling it was time for a major clean OUT! Lots of books to sell. Can't imagine what I'll spend the $$$ on!


I have a simple card based on the CAS sketch and the colors are based on Heather's Papertrey Peeps challenge. We would love to have you play along too!

Happy Stamping! ~Rhonda

Supplies used:
stamps: Papertrey Ink (Giga Guidelines, Big & Bold Wishes, Dot Spot)
paper: Papertrey Ink (stamper's select white, plum pudding bitty dot, simply chartreuse)
ink: Papertrey Ink (Hawaiian shores) SU (Going Grey)
Other: Papertrey Ink (sunshine impression plate)

A duo today using Papertrey Ink's Round and Round. So many possibilities with this set. The stripe paper is part of the Color Couture products from Papertrey Ink.


Do you love impression plates??? They really increase the WOW factor. The mat stack die saves so much time by letting you create large focal points easily.


I'm trying very hard to make multiple cards when I get everything out. What set are you inking up today? ~ Rhonda

Blogging and Stamping Pt 2


I had a wonderful time sharing information on blogging and stamping Wednesday. There were 35 women in attendance with only a couple who had some stamping experience.  I had samples but everyone quickly gave the projects their own signature style.



I had six tables ready to go. Everyone was working hard and learning something new.
 
Looking at some of the cards I had made.


The Beautiful Blooms II dies worked great for an easy card.  We used two large and 1 medium to create the flower. Giga Guidelines was the perfect image to stamp on the die cuts. Add a button and Polka Dot Basics II to a background of Spring Rain to complete the project. 


The next card used Dot Spot as the background on SU Lovely Liliac. The bubble border punch pulled the design together.



I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who left comments encouraging our class! We had a great time.~Rhonda

Hope you have Fabulous Day


How about a little inspiration from a Pier I ad? Looking through the ad I spied this cute table runner. Loved the colors and the polka dots. 

 


I think it translated into a great card. The adjectives from Take Ten allow you to personalize your circles.


I love the EK bubble border punch. I added a Razzberry Fizz paper strip to the inside, leaving just a touch of white showing on the bottom for added interest.



Hope your day is fabulous! ~ Rhonda

supplies used:
stamps: PTI Signature greetings, Top Ten
paper:  PTI summer sunrise, hibiscus burst, orange zest, rasberry fizz
inks: PTI hibiscus burst, SU really orange
extras: ek bubbles border punch, spellbinder large circles, rhinestones - stash






Celebrate Today!


I tried to use my 10 hour travel time in the car over the weekend productively. I took along my Stampers' Sampler Take Ten Winter 2010! As I went through the pages I made sketches, took notes, and thought of stamps sets I owned that I can use for the same look.

Roosters were featured a couple of times! I have a retired SU set "Roosting" that has not seen ink in a long time. 2 Sketches 4 You and Mercy's Tuesday Sketch had similar layouts perfect for what I had in mind.


I chose to stamp the Rooster on pattern paper giving it a more vintage feel versus coloring. Spellbinder's Fleur de lis border was the perfect addition for added interest. The pattern papers are from a Michael's paper pack.


A sentiment from PTI's mixed messages and twine keep the card simple but sweet!! Oh, the card base is PTI's vintage cream. I had been using a lighter weight cardstock for card bases. Not anymore. It does make a different in the quality of the finished product.


Keep Creating! ~Rhonda
