Friday Flashback!  Today's stamp set is Approaching Perfection, though I did pull in Wrapped Bouquet for a couple of cards as well.  And today I'm working on using up the Moonlight DSP stack.

Friday Flashback: Array of Sunshine & A Big Thank You

Today is the day, y'all!  The hubs will arrive later this morning and then the three of us are going to stay at Great Wolf Lodge for a couple of nights, which Ryan doesn't know about yet.  So glad this deployment is OVER!

And I have a celebratory Friday Flashback to share today.  Today's sets are Array of Sunshine and A Big Thank You.

I chose sunny Daffodil Delight for my cards today because yellow makes me happy.  It's Ryan's favorite color after he changed it from red.

I got like a half a dozen packs of those glitter dots because I was making a set of invitations for my friend Sarah and I seriously overestimated how many I would need.  So I used up several on today's cards and those glitter dots are where I got my color combination.

One last fun floral card.  Again, two stamp sets that I like but hadn't used in a long time, so this was fun.  Have a great day, peeps!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Array of Sunshine, A Big Thank You

Friday Flashback: Artfully Asian

I haven't posted one of these in a long time so it's a FRIDAY FLASHBACK!  I actually have a bunch of FF draft posts and I figured that while we're once again doing the moving chaos, I might as well post a few of these flashbacks.  So let's take a look at Artfully Asian, shall we?

I made three cards, all with the same stamp set, colors, dies, and layout (one turned vertical).  Since the hubs and I lived in Japan for a couple of years, I am always drawn to any Oriental-type stamp sets.

I haven't made any new Flashback cards in a while, but my goal with these is to revisit retired stamp sets, make some simple cards, and use up some of the 6x6 patterned paper in my stash since I am less likely to use it on scrapbook layouts (I am very fond of making strips to go across a 12x12 page, which is hard to do with a 6x6 paper pad but I can't stop buying those anyway...)

So there's my Artfully Asian card trio.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Artfully Asian
Ink:  Early Espresso, Calypso Coral, Stampin' Blends in Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent
Paper:  Pale Papaya, Thick Basic White, Soft Succulent DSP
Accessories:  Stitched So Sweetly dies, Dimensionals

Friday Flashback: The Art of Life & Small Script

Well dang it, I was trying to schedule posts for the future and accidentally made this one for June instead of July.  Oh well....

Friday Flashback again!  Today it's The Art of Life and Small Script.  I have a parade of cards today!

All of the stamps in The Art of Life are tall, skinny stamps; I like the textured stamp behind the floral stem on this one.  Great way to make it look like layers even though this is a one-layer card.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  The Art of Life
Ink:  River Rock, Mellow Moss, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip
Paper:  Thick Very Vanilla
Accessories:  None

Same basic idea with the leaf stamp.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  The Art of Life
Ink:  Mellow Moss, Chocolate Chip
Paper:  Thick Very Vanilla
Accessories:  None

And then I made a few with the images from The Art of Life paired with Small Script sentiments.  Very simple but a few more layers than the first couple of cards.  All four of these have the same layout, but I changed out some of the colors for the floral cards.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  The Art of Life, Small Script

So there's six super simple cards that I made with The Art of Life and Small Script.  They've both been retired for ages, but I still really like them so it was fun to get them out to play with again.  Cheers!

Friday Flashback: Artfully Folded

Hey hey!  We're flying from Germany to Texas today but the Friday Flashback has nothing to do with either of those places.  And it's a short one with just one card.

I think Artfully Folded was a host set (so, free) and otherwise I probably wouldn't own it, even though I usually go for the Asian-inspired sets.  I thought I'd go super-CAS with this card, using two of the paper crane stamps and three of the recently retired In Colors.

Have a good weekend, peeps!

Stamps:  Artfully Folded
Ink:  Soft Succulent, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen

Friday Flashback: Ancient Art & Weathered

Mornin, folks!  By the time you read this, I will (hopefully) be hanging out on a beach in Greece : )  It's our last hurrah before we go back to the States next week, spending a week in Crete relaxing and, in my case, checking out the archaeological site because I'm a history nerd.

So today I thought we'd go with Ancient Art for a Friday Flashback post.  So I got this stamp set last year or the year before when I was randomly trawling eBay for old SU! sets (which my husband wishes I would stop doing...to be fair I do already have a lot of stamps and I haven't looked for any more on eBay in quite some time).  So this post is a Friday Flashback but it's also the first (ahem, only...so far) time I've used Ancient Art.  I paired it with Weathered, a great background stamp from way back when, and made a set of cards.

I'm over here talking about Greece but Ancient Art has a distinctly Native American vibe to it.

Hey, you never know when you'll need a thunderbird stamp.  Or a cool lizard.

Okay the snake is not my favorite but I do like the turtle.  One old, old stamp set I've thought about tracking down is Aquaria, and it has a neat turtle in it.  Not that I don't have other turtles, I'm sure my hubs would point out ; )

Not 100% sure what the animal on the left is meant to be, but I think of it as a bear.  And the handprint is good for a high five card, yes?  So I used every stamp in the set and kept the cards super simple without sentiments so they can be used anytime.  And they're good guy cards too, I think.  I will miss having Sahara Sand in the SU! color lineup, it was a unique neutral.

Anyway, check ya later, stampy friends.  I'm gonna go relax on a beach with my two favorite dudes.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Ancient Art, Weathered
Ink:  Sahara Sand, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow

Friday Flashback: Apple Blossoms

Friday Flashback on a Thursday!  It's been a while since I posted a Friday Flashback (whatever day of the week it happens to be posted), and yesterday I just could NOT settle in and make anything in my craft room, so now is a good time.  Today's set is Apple Blossoms, which was a hostess set in the 2010-2011 catalog.  I hadn't made a whole lot with this stamp set so this was a fun exercise for me.

I made these cards before Just Jade retired and I had fun playing with color combinations using it.  So here's Just Jade and Coastal Cabana.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Apple Blossoms
Ink:  Just Jade, Coastal Cabana
Paper:  Just Jade, Coastal Cabana, Thick Basic White
Accessories:  Rectangles Stitched dies, Tasteful Labels dies, Dimensionals

Same basic layout for this card, and I kept the Just Jade card base and stamped the flower with Polished Pink and Daffodil Delight.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Apple Blossoms
Ink:  Just Jade, Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy
Paper:  Just Jade, Thick Basic White
Accessories:  Rectangles Stitched dies, mini Dimensionals, rhinestone

Thought I'd try something different with that tall, skinny stamp.  No Just Jade this time though :)

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Apple Blossoms
Ink:  Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy
Paper:  Thick Basic White
Accessories:  Rose Garden dies, Dimensionals

Last card, this one using the apple stamp.  Apples always make me think of back to school stuff and teachers, and maybe I'm weird but I don't like the 4U thing on here.  I imagine teachers would dislike that kind of text shorthand and I think it's kinda annoying too ;) But I wanted to use the stamp anyway and I just made a mini square card.

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Apple Blossoms
Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade
Paper:  Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Thick Basic White
Accessories:  Mini Dimensionals, Daffodil Delight ribbon

That's it for me today, I'm heading upstairs and hoping that I can be more productive in my craft room today.  Cheers!

Friday Flashback: All Holidays

Been a while since I did a Friday Flashback post and I actually have quite a few draft posts just waiting to see the light of day :) So let's revisit the all-word set All Holidays, from way back in 2007.  There are 12 stamps in the set and I didn't want to make 12 different cards, so I just chose six stamps and paired them up with the For All Seasons DSP Stack to make some quick and cute cards.  Enjoy!

Friday Flashback: All Dressed Up

Happy Friday, y'all!  And what is this, I'm back for the third week in a row with a Friday Flashback on a Friday?!  Well, it took me so long to unmount those stamp sets yesterday and then in the afternoon I decided to work on a new scrapbook layout, so no card for today.  But that's okay because I've got a fun Flashback post to share instead!

Today's stamp set is All Dressed Up, and I'll be honest:  I had never used it before.  I bought it because of the super cute Dress Up dies that went with it!  So for today's cards I finally inked up the stamp set *and* used the dies.

Not gonna lie, if I saw a dress with that butterfly pattern from the Butterfly Bijou DSP, I would totally buy it.

Stamps:  All Dressed Up
Ink:  Misty Moonlight
Paper:  Blushing Bride, Misty Moonlight, Thick Basic White, Butterfly Bijou DSP Stack
Accessories:  Dress Up dies, Hydrangea dies, mini Dimensionals

Here I used the actual dress stamp in the stamp set.  And this one got sent out to my friend Missy!

Stamps:  All Dressed Up
Ink:  Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay
Paper:  Magenta Madness, Coastal Cabana
Accessories:  Ornate Frames dies, mini Dimensionals

More dresses (you see there are a couple of different dress dies) cut from Butterfly Bijou scraps and the birthday sentiment stamp.  All three cards came together quick and it was fun to play with the dies again, not to mention actually using the coordinating stamp set :)

Stamps:  All Dressed Up
Ink:  Bermuda Bay
Paper:  Magenta Madness, Thick Basic White, Butterfly Bijou DSP Stack
Accessories:  Dress Up dies, hexagon punch, Dimensionals

The hubs has today off work and Ryan is home from daycare, so I think we're going to take a day trip to Heidelberg because the weather is gorgeous!  Have a fantastic Friday, y'all.

Friday Flashback: All Boxed Up

Mornin' friends!  Time for another Friday Flashback, and today's stamp set is All Boxed Up.  I didn't get the coordinating dies that went with it because if I remember correctly it made little milk carton-style boxes and I just don't do the 3D thing hardly ever.  But I loved the sentiment stamps in this set :)  For today's set of cards, I paired All Boxed Up with the Cupcakes & Carousels DSP stack.  Here's what I made:

I think that "happy thoughts" stamp was the main reason I bought the set, I love it.  And I loved the sunburst effect from the DSP on two of the cards.

I used the same supplies for all the cards, just changed where the sentiment went based on the background DSP and what I thought looked good.  Four cards done very quickly, CAS but cute.  Gotta love some good DSP patterns and cute sentiments!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  All Boxed Up

Friday Flashback: Happiest of Holidays

Happy Friday, folks!  Whaddya know, I'm posting a Friday Flashback *ON* a Friday!

I used three out of the four stamps from Heard from the Heart on my All I Have Seen Flashback post, so I wanted to use the last one too.  Enter the pink and red poinsettia card.  I got Happiest of Holidays pretty early in my stamping career and managed to use all four stamps on the set on the second card :)

I finally got my latest big fat Stampin' Up! order and I really need to get upstairs and play with my new goodies!  Have a great weekend, kids.

Supplies, all SU!, left card:
Stamps:  Heard from the Heart, Happiest of Holidays

Friday Flashback: All I Have Seen & Heard From the Heart

Hey hey hey, happy Friday and guess what?  I have a Friday Flashback post ON a Friday this time!  When I pulled out All I Have Seen to play with, I decided to make some monochrome cards and used Heard from the Heart for the sentiments, so this flashback post covers both of those sets.

Dang, I didn't write down what colors I used when I made these and now I can't remember.  Pretty sure the card bases are Mint Macaron, Just Jade, and...wow I have no idea for that pink.  I made these cards weeks ago and I can't remember what I used!  Note to self, write down the recipe when I make the cards...

Oh well, whatever colors I used, I did like how they turned out!  And this is when I discovered my Soft Sea Foam ink pad was totally dried out, and I had to get a new set of ink refills because the last time I bought Subtles ink refills was before the last color refresh.  Soft Sea Foam isn't a color I use much anyway, but at least now I CAN use it.

Cheers, peeps!

Friday Flashback: All Adorned

It's Time Warp Tuesday!  Continuing on with my quest to make cards with every stamp set I own, today's set is All Adorned.  It was a Sale-a-Bration set a few years ago and to be honest that's the only reason why I own it.  The sentiments are okay, but I don't much care for the other stamps that you're supposed to use two-step stamping style to build designs...they just don't line up right for me with this particular set.  See the second card:

Also now I believe it when SU! said the Purple Posy ink kept drying darker/a different color than the cardstock, because they do not look the same on that card either.  I don't like that one at all, but I do like the card on the left--remember when I did the set of cards for Ain't Love Grand?  I had all these skinny strips of patterned paper left so I used five of them for the Best Ever card here.

I pulled out the Love Blossoms stack to make this pair of heart-y cards, and that's all she wrote for this stamp set.

Have a great day, peeps!

Supplies, first card:
Stamps:  All Adorned
Ink:  Calypso Coral

Friday Flashback: All About Everything

Hey y'all!  I just finished my morning workout and I need a minute to cool down :)  So I thought I'd share another Throwback Thursday/Friday Flashback post!  Today's stamp set, All About Everything, was a freebie set in a past Paper Pumpkin kit.  Can't find a Splitcoast gallery for it, but it's a cute little set and I had fun playing with it and some fun, bright colors for today's pair of cards:

Uh, I think I'm in love with Magenta Madness.  I put that together with Pineapple Punch, Old Olive, and Gorgeous Grape, and just stamped a random floral pattern for the main image panels.  I rooted through my collection of punches and found two old label punches (I forget what they were actually named) that worked with the sentiments I chose, which I embossed with white EP on Magenta Madness cardstock.  I've been embossing a lot lately, even though I have to have my heat gun on a transformer which means I have to cart everything downstairs to the kitchen when I want to emboss.

I have tomorrow off so I'm hoping to spend lots of time in my craft room :)  Have a great Thursday, y'all!

Friday Flashback: Ain't Love Grand

Friday Flashback on a Friday! :)  Today's stamp set is Ain't Love Grand, and I thought I'd never used it before.  Imagine my surprise when I discovered that I'd actually made an entire set of cards with it!  And I made six new cards for today's post, all with the Playing with Patterns DSP Stack.

I chose six pieces of the DSP, cut a piece for each card front, and then I took the two inch strip I had left over and for most of them I turned 'em over and did a mix and match with the patterns on the other side and made a banner for each card.  So I only used six pieces of the patterned paper but I ended up with a nice variety of cards.  I particularly like the Crushed Curry gradient on the card with the car, it looks like a sunset to me :)

Each image was stamped with Night of Navy ink and then colored with various Stampin' Blends.  Really didn't take too long to do all six cards!

Supplies, all SU! (some retired)
Stamps:  Ain't Love Grand

Friday Flashback: Ageless Adornment

Hey hey!  Since I'm working every day this week I haven't been able to stamp cards for new challenges, which means today is a Throwback Thursday type Friday Flashback.  Today's stamp set is Ageless Adornment, which started out as a hostess set.  There are four images and three sentiments; I made three cards.

For the lily card, I just stamped the image in So Saffron ink and then stamped the greeting over.  Easy peasy.  I did sponging and distressing on all three cards.  For the holly card, I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and used my other ink colors to watercolor it.

And then for the butterfly card, I stamped the image with Misty Moonlight and then colored in with Stampin' Blends.  So there you have three different techniques using these detailed images :)

Have a great day, y'all!

Supplies, lily card:
Stamps:  Ageless Adornment

Friday Flashback: Afterthoughts

It's another Throwback Thursday version of the Friday Flashback!  I was supposed to have the day off work, but my boss asked if I could come in and help with the custom frame shop so that's what I'm doing.  But it gives me an excuse to share another Friday Flashback post :)

The name of this stamp set makes me giggle because I discovered that it IS an afterthought--I never stamped it out for my personal stamp catalog and in fact I never even inked it up at all before this.  There are a total of six sentiment stamps and it was a hostess set a few years back; I chose three of the stamps to make cards with.

And this is when I discovered my Bermuda Bay ink pad needed to be re-inked, which I have since taken care of :)  I had fun choosing patterns from the Cherry on Top DSP stack, there are a lot of cute ones in there so I'm glad I'm actually using them instead of letting them collect dust in my stash.

Have a great day, y'all!

Supplies, all SU! (many retired)

Friday Flashback: Acorny Thank You

Okay, so today's Friday Flashback is on a Throwback Thursday ;)  We could have Time Warp Tuesday and Way Back Wednesday as well, but since I already started the Friday Flashback tag a long time ago that's what I'm sticking with ;)  Today's stamp set is Acorny Thank You, plus the coordinating acorn punch.

Just something nice and simple, but still cute I think.  I told you that my Flashback cards were probably going to be more CAS--I'm practicing!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Acorny Thank You
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso
Paper:  Crumb Cake, Thick Basic White
Accessories:  Acorn punch, mini Dimensionals

At first I only made that one card, then went on to different projects.  Then another idea popped in my head so I had to circle back around and make a second Acorny card.

Man, I love a good plaid.  I had to go back and do this one because I don't think I'd used the "Nuts About You" acorn stamp at all yet and I just couldn't leave it out.  I pulled all the colors from the Wrapped in Plaid DSP stack, though if you want to get picky about it Cinnamon Cider isn't on this *particular* plaid.  Glad I went back to make this second card!

Supplies, all SU!
