PP#199 and SC#491: Father's Day card

Hello! Long time no stamp!  My husband bought a new fishing boat and he was determined that I fish in it as soon as possible so that I could "see" how awesome it is in the hopes that I will start wanting to fish 24-7 as he likes to. Hmmm, not sure that will happen, but it was nice to get away. The Canadian weather was beautiful and I did catch quite a few fish!
Today, I was having withdrawals from stamping so I squeezed in a card late this afternoon and ended up taking a picture of it outside. I used Paper Players #199 color challenge along with Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge #491 to create my Father's Day card I made for my dad.  Here are the challenges (note the picture for SC#491 was so tiny and I tried to enlarge it so thats why its blurry):

And here's my card:

Believe it or not, I have NOT placed my first order from the new 2014-2015 catalog! I usually try to hold off a little bit...because I usually want just about everything (no exception this year either)  and I need to really think about it.  It's actually therapeutic to me analyzing and reanalyzing what my order should be. I know strange.  But luckily, I still have my sneak peek goodies to get me through.  So I will survive...at least for a little while longer. : )

Here's the goodies I used to create my card:
Well, I hope my dad likes it!  Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

  3. Love your nautical collage-style card! It's beautiful! I like to wait a bit for my first order too....although I have put mine in, still waiting for it, AND I forgot a couple of things, drat! Guess I'll have to put in another one, LOL! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Paper Players this week!

  4. Awesome card, and that juicy lobster has me thinking of our summer holidays, planned out East (not the same kind of fishing as you did but fun nonetheless). Missing my DD buddies!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
