Oh it’s time again for another Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge and Mary Jo really out did herself on this one! It’s a nice and easy sketch that, of course, I took a few ‘liberties’ with! LOL!!!

This week for Create with Connie and Mary Card “Create”tions 2014 I am using Zoo Babies for my card set (you have to be a subscriber to see it though). Since this set was sitting on top of my desk I thought I’d use it for Mary Jo’s sketch too!

Here’s the detail…

Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
Kaleidoscope dsp (diagonal stripe) – 3 3/8 x 4 5/8. Layer on Basic Black 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 and add to card front.
Real Red – 1 1/2 x 4 1/4 and add to card front
Cut out Film Strip from On Film Framelit in Basic Black. Layer onto Whisper White 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 using dimensionals and add to card front.
Stamp Zebra in StazOn Jet Black and Real Red, cut out and add inside filmstrip.
Cut out the one Bubble framelit (you will be using this backwards) and stamp just to the words from the matching Just Sayin’ set using Real Red. I then took the Basic Black marker and underlined the words. Add the bubble using dimensionals to finish it off.

You can see I flipped mine around a bit and changed a couple things but the basic sketch is still there! Don’t forget to check out the other members of the team and remember go to the Technostamper blog to play along!

NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that you can now get this set, WOOD MOUNT ONLY from the Clearance Rack in the ONLINE STORE. The cost is $11.99. If you are interested in this set, I would recommend you quickly purchase it because, as with all clearance items, once they are gone, they are gone.

Happy Tuesday everyone! This is one of two posts today using the Monstermaniacs set so if you would like to see some cards also made with this, check out this post!

Welcome to a NEW SUO challenge! This time the theme is Boxes, Bags and Baskets. Hmmm…can you guess which I decided to do? LOL!!! Anyway…like I said I’ve been playing quite a bit with this set and had some of those ‘left over pieces’ and along with left over pieces from the Celebrations Basics (Banner) Kit and the Bermuda Bay Celebration Add-On Kit, I was pretty much set!

Here’s the details…

Fold over top of bag and add strip of dsp (from Add-On Kit) to the back of the flap. Fold over.
Punch out 1″ circles from the various dsp in the Bermuda Bay Add-On kit and add to bag
Tag: Tag from the Celebrations Kit, add Oval from the Add-On kit using Dimeensionals.
Stamp monster in StazOn Jet Black, color with Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry (on watercolor paper) and add to Oval using dimensionals.. Stamp Woo Hoo using StazOn Jet Black on Crushed Curry, cut out with matching Bubbles Framelit, add using dimensionals.
Use Crop-o-dile to punch through all layers of bag and tag. Use the cool rope that comes with the Celebrations Banner Kit to tie it one. Fray edges.

Yep…that covers it! LOL!!! Now check out the other wonderful creations from the SUO Design Team!

Set(s):	Monstermaniacs, Just Sayin’
Paper:	Watercolor
Ink:	StazOn Jet Black, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry

Melissa Davies made this wonderful card and I decided to do a CASE of it for a make and take for a workshop in January.

I added a layer where Melissa’s was just a one layer card. I wanted to step it up just a little bit. I also had used this same basic idea when I made this card for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

Here’s the details –

Whisper White – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
Whisper White – 4 1/2 x 3 1/4. Stamp the largest one using Daffodil Delight, the bunch of little flowers in Smoky Slate, and the last flower in StazOn Jet Black. Add the panel to the card front using dimensionals.
Pick one of the greetings from the Just Sayin’ set. Stamp using StazOn Jet Black on Whisper White. Cut with matching framelit and add using dimensionals.

Yep…that’s really all there is to this card. And it’s such a great card…just swap a different color for the yellow and you have another cool card. This was a fun make and take.

Set(s):	Simple Stems, Just Sayin’
Paper:	Whisper White
Ink:	Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, StazOn Jet Black
Other:	Bubbles Framelits, Dimensionals

Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!

Happy Thursday everyone. Oh my…there is a hope of Spring in the air! Okay…it’s not -9 and it’s not snowing…I guess that is hope! But for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge, I decided to add a little hope with a happy card…okay…I think it is happy!

This is a fun set. One of the things I often forget to do is to make my own dsp. Now that there are so many pretty printed papers out there, it is easy to forget to make our own. The sketch challenge this week I thought was perfect for doing this for the panel.

Here’s the details –

Basic Black – 4 1/4 x 11 folded. It’s a little hard to see from the picture but I ran it through the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.
Whisper White – 2 3/4 x 4 1/4. Stamp the large flower with Daffodil Delight, the multiple blossom flower in Smoky Slate and the ‘starburst’ flower in StazOn Jet Black (or Basic Black). Layer 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Smoky Slate under it then another piece of the Smoky Slate 3/4 x 4 1/4 along the top. I a piece of Silver 1/8″ Ribbon around the tap and add to card front.
Stamp greeting using StazOn Jet Black (or Basic Black) on Daffodil Delight, cut out with matching framelits and add to the card front using dimensionals.
Add some Basic Rhinestones to the center of each ‘starburst’ flower to finish it off.

Check out Create with Connie and Mary to learn more and to see the great projects by the design team.

Set(s):	Simple Stems, Just Sayin’
Paper:	Whisper White, Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight
Ink:	Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, StazOn Jet Black
Other:	Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Bubbles Framelits, Silver 1/8″ Ribbon, Dimensionals

Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!
