Hello Everyone!

It is me Jeannie with a very Fun – Farewell card today.  To begin with I am using Mojo Monday’s Sketch # 255, and I will be entering this card in their challenge.  HOORAY!

PLUS…..over on Joy’s Life.com, 

we are all putting our CRI-KITS to good use this week.  

I am using pens from the Reg. Neon set.

I am also using a design from my Art Philosophy cartridge with my pens.

 

 

I am using the stamp set called Pun in the Sun from Joy’s Life.

 

The little boat is from the Cricut Cartridge Life is a Beach.

 

This is the inside of the card.  I have also used dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and My Favorite Things.

Here is a close up of the area where the CRI-KITS pen was used.  It really does make a gorgeous background for this card.

 

 

Here is a close up of those fabulous Joy’s Life stamps!!

My last Gel A Tins post

This is a bittersweet post.  My term is up this month with Gel A Tins stamps and I completely missed the Team Call for the next term

I have had a ton of fun creating with these adorable stamps.

I have to say my favorite thing about Gel A Tins is the fact they come in this wonderful Tin.

Storage is pretty easy when your stamps come in their own storage system.

Today I am using the set called  Sugar & Spice.

I am also using the Mojo Monday Sketch # 238.

Here is my card for today:)

I looked at the sketch and knew that I wanted to try using my Mini Polaroid die for this card.

It a very simple color scheme and I think it is a fun variation of the Mojo Monday sketch.

Just using white embossing powder, I was able to keep the black and white theme for the card.

But there is never a problem with a splash of pink, right?

So there you have it:  My last card for the wonderful and generous people over at Gel A Tins stamps.

I have had a lot of fun here and hope that you have enjoyed the things I have shared.

A “Dreamy” Card

Hello and happy Wednesday to everyone!!  Today I have a card of all cards to share today!

I am using this awesome sketch that Mojo Monday has up.  Sketch # 238.

 

I am using the set called Dream a Little Dream.

I don’t know if you can really see all the detail in this card but…

I have just started learning some new techniques in one of Christy Tomlinson’s online classes.

Although I do not have a lot (if any) of the supplies she uses, I improvised on this card.

Also, I made the card out of a piece of transparency paper, so it is really a unique card!

So there you have it…my attempt to WOW you all today!!  How did I do?

I had such a fun time making this card and I hope you enjoyed my post today.

Gel A Tins Stamps – Elefuntastic Card

Hello everyone..

I am here with a cute card today.  I am using Mojo Monday’s Sketch #236

Here is the sketch.

I turned the sketch and used it like this:

I am using the set called:

ELEPHANT GARDEN

Here is my version of the sketch from above.

It think this is such a sweet set. There are so many possibilities since there are so many stamps.

I took one of the largest elephants and embossed it with a glitter embossing powder.  It created a nice effect for the background.

I am using all MOMENTA paper products.

All of these wild prints are from a paper pack called:

ANIMAL PRINT

I also used some ABC stickers from a Momenta 12 x 12 Super Paper Pad.  If you don’t have a phrase that matches your stamps, make one up!  That’s what I always do!

I hope you have enjoyed my sketch tweak today!  Do you use sketches?  I am new to using them but I am hooked!

What sketch sites you do like?

I would love to hear what you have to say.

Here is the sketch.

I am using the stamp called:

HAPPY ARE THOSE

This is from the itty bitty, {ippity} stamps.

The paper is My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart.

I wanted to use blue to accentuate the cloud on the stamp.

It is such a joy to work with {ippity} stamps.

Wednesday Wowzers posts are never a chore, I simply love working with these stamps.

Here is the sketch.

I turned the sketch and used it like this:

I am using the set called:

SUGAR & SPICE

Here is my version of the sketch from above.

It think this is such a sweet set. There are so many possibilities since there are so many stamps.

I have no idea who I will give this card to, but I could use it for many different occasions, don’t you agree?

I Heart {ippity} New Stamps!!!

I have a beauty for you today.  Plus I have an idea for you try out while we are at it!

I am using MOJO MONDAY’S SKETCH #232

I am also super excited to say that I was one of the winners for Mojo Monday’s Sketch #231!

 It was my first time even entering one of their sketch challenges and you can imgaine my surprise when I saw I was one of the winners! I am sooo excited!!

I am using a brand new set called:

Be Brave…Branch Out

Here is my version of the sketch.

Now the new thing I tried on this card, was to take that pin and after I had machine gathered my twill tape, I ran the pin through the center of the tape,

Next time, I will slip the machine gathering and just gather it on the pin and save some time!

If you like my color and paper palette, I have Authentique Paper to thanks for that.  I have used paper from different lines but I love how I can mix and match and still have it all blend perfectly.

I will be entering this in Mojo Monday’s Challenge # 232.

I hope you enjoyed my idea, this would also work on certain ribbons, so I would love to hear if you try this out!  Let me know.
