Try Stamping on Tuesday

My card for the TSOT #176, sketch challenge. I love the Sweet Sorbet DSP so wanted to use it. Also uses color challenge CC487 of Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizzaza, Soft Sky, Soft Suede & Whisper White. I used a border punch to make the scallop and added some Crisp Cantaloupe Stretch Ruffle Trim to the card. The Build A Bird Punch and scalloped Circle were handy for the focal point after daubing with ink.

My MOJO 354 card is a day late but had a hard time deciding what to do. I cam eup with this card as I have been using these floral stamp for my BRAK cards and really liked the monochromatic card Mary did as a sample. This is a really great, easy and fun sketch to follow. I am going to visit a cousin that is going blind the rest of this week and she wants to make a few cards so I decided I am using this sketch and the retired In Colors 2012/2014 as I have lot of paper and ribbon to use. I wanted something bold and yet simple so she will be able to see what we are doing. Pray this goes well.

My cards: Stamps: Petite Petals, Flower Shop, Beautiful Bunch, Six-Sided Sampler

Paper: Tangelo Twist, Whisper White, In Color 2014/16 Color Stack DSP

Ink: Tangelo Twist

Accessories: Fun Flower, Pansy and Petitie Petals Punches, In Color Ribbon, Dimensionals

Wetlands Birthday

Whipped this card up really quickly before I left for work this morning. I love the Wetlands stamp set and needed a masculine birthday card. Really like the way the background paper turned out. I inked one side of the embossing folder and then inserted very vanilla paper and ran it through the Big Shot. Wanted a card that was simple and quick yet elegant, therefore, I used the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch for the week.

Stamp: Wetlands

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Early Espresso

Accessories: Soft Suede Polka Dotted Ribbon, Starburst Framelit Dies,  Wood Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Circles Diecuts, Small oval punch, Dimensional.

Lovely Weekend

We took a few days and went to our Worldmark Vacation site just a few miles away on the other side of Lake Couer D'Alene and had such a wonderful time. Another couple went with us who had never had the privildge to stay in them. Arrived Friday evening and packed everything in and then play a couple of card games and some Mexican Train dominoes. The next two days we ate nice large breakfasts, played lots of games - Settlers of Katan, Dabble, Quiddler, Shanghai Rummy, Five Crowns and maybe others. Then had a wonderful dinner and played more games.  In between these games we crocheted, did computer work and she even printed some pictures. My goal was to use the swimming pool and the exercise equipment some but that did not happen.  We had to leave our rooms and walk in the freezing cold and fog so we decided it was best to play more games.

Got home about noon today, unpacked and then I headed right to my scrap room as I wanted to make a couple more cards for my Stampin' Up class this coming Saturday. Below is the last card I came up with and it also was the sketch from TSOT http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/. I am beginning to really like that blog and have done most of the sketches since the first of the year. You can also find this card at my blog on Splitcoaststampers: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/uploadphoto.php.
