PCCCS #38 Card Sketch: Cuddles & Kisses
Here we are with another installment of the Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #38 featuring the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set. As an adoptive mom, I just love this stamp set. It comes close to my heart and means so much.
Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #38
Cuddles & Kisses
While looking through my stamp sets and trying to decide how I wanted to start with this card using the card sketch I was immediately drawn to the Cuddles & Kisses Stamp Set along with Baja Breeze. I'm sad to see that Baja Breeze is retiring especially as I love the tone of Baja Breeze next to Very Vanilla cardstock.
The base of the card starts with the Baja Breeze card stock layered with Very Vanilla card stock embossed using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder which I spritzed with Baja Breeze using the Color Spritzer Tool. Then I stamped the adoption sentiment with the Baja Breeze onto Very Vanilla card stock and used the Labels Collection Framelit to cut out the sentiment which was layered on a piece of Baja Breeze cardstock also cut out using the Labels Collection Framelit. To accent the Baja Breeze Labels background, I used the Festive Paper-Piercing Pack with the Paper Piercing tool to create texture.
One of my favorite parts of this card is the embellishment I created using the That's the Ticket Stamp Set "precious baby" stamp which was stamped twice and then punched out using the Ticket Punch. I then stacked and used the whale shaped Elements Cute Clips (one of my favorites!!!) then attached it to the card. Finally, I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits L for the final background element with Very Vanilla card stock.
So, I hope you enjoy this card as I know I'll be holding it close to my heart especially as my husband and I wait for a placement on Adoption #2.

Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch 14
Come to Bethlehem Christmas Card
I love this sketch for the Grand Opening of the Paper Craft Crew Sketch Blog! My goal was to create an elegant card using this weeks sketch. Since this is the Grand Opening week for the Paper Craft Crew the card had to be special and "sparkle!"
One of my favorite Christmas Stamp Sets is the Come To Bethlehem Stamp Set. I really felt the new Illuminate Stamp Pad would be perfect with this stamp set stamped on a background of Midnight Muse! I love how the shimmer sets apart the image and you get such a beautiful yet subtle look. The base of the card is Very Vanilla which I embossed using the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. The Midnight Muse with the stamped image is cut out using the Labels Collection Framelits. The tag is Very Vanilla stamped with the Merry Christmas using the Midnight Muse. I love the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons and just loved the "crystal" effect reminding me of "ice." The banner is created using the Petite Pennant Builders Punch with the JOY stamped using the Notable Alphabet Stamp Set. The ribbon is the Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon.

Forever & Always Mojo Monday Card
I participate in a Monday Mailer with other North Carolina Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Well, I’m actually a week behind sending out my first card but then I discovered that my Monday Mailer pal just celebrated a significant Wedding Anniversary. So, I decided to create an extra special card for her. Sharon is a wonderful lady and a fellow design team member with the Stampin’ Queens Sketch Challenge blog.
Then I saw the sketch for Mojo Monday and I had my inspiration! So, welcome to my submission for this weeks Mojo Monday Card Sketch 236! Actually, this is the first time I’ve ever participated in a Mojo Monday sketch although I follow the blog and love the sketches.
Mojo Monday 236
My focus for this card was texture while sticking to a White on White basis for the card. I started with the Whisper White card stock then created a background layer with another piece of Whisper White Card Stock embossed using the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Next, based on the sketch, I took three 1″ strips of Whisper White card stock and used the following Textured Impressions Embossing Folders:
Stripes
Elegant Bouquet
Perfect Polka Dots
At the top of the card, I used 5/8″ Whisper White Organza Ribbon. Next, I used the Labels Collection Framelit Die along with an image from the Apothecary Art Stamp Set. The stamped color to help keep with a “light” tone is none other than Wisteria Wonder which is from the 2011-2013 In Color Stampin’ Up! Collection. I also colored the leaves on the stamped image with the Stampin’ Write Marker in Wild Wasabi. The stamped sentiment is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set and is stamped in Wisteria Wonder. To create the “flag” I used a square punch to create the flag ends.
The final touch was to add some tiny little punch flowers inset with pearls. I used a punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. There are two layers of the little flowers. The Jewel Basic Pearls anchor the center of each flower.
So, I hope you enjoy the card. If you get a chance, checkout the sketch on the Mojo Monday 236 or you can visit Mary Fish at Stampin’ Pretty to see her card and the sketch as well. Also, Mary, was the designer for this weeks sketch. I just have to mention that Mary is an absolutely wonderful person. I had the opportunity to meet with her June of last year when I was visiting my husbands family in Tucson, AZ. Having the opportunity to meet and chat with Mary ranks up there on the list of my highlights just under seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. We chatted for nearly 3 hours before she had to leave and meet with the gentlemen installing her new cabinets into her craft space.
If you find inspiration from this card, please share your thoughts or questions by leaving me a comment. Also, don’t be afraid to pin it to Pinterest but I ask that you link back to this blog post! I love hearing from all my readers and also encourage you to share my blog with your friends – word of mouth is one of the greatest forms of flattery.

SQSC 25 – The Open Sea Valentine
Are you looking for a masculine valentine? Well, you'll want to read today's post for the Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge # 25!
Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge #25
The Open Sea Valentine
This week for the Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge #25, I pulled out a wonderful stamp set called "The Open Sea" which is still available for purchase from Stampin' Up! even though it came from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog. I love the feel of this stamp set and its masculine nature.
The base of this card starts with the River Rock card stock layered with Cajun Craze card stock and the Well Worn Designer Series Paper. I stamped the "ledger" image using the River Rock classic ink on the watercolor paper then I stamped the ship image using Cajun Craze classic ink.
The images were cut out using the new Framelits Labels Collection and layered with a larger border of the Framelits Labels Collection. The ribbon is the Cajun Craze 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. As a final touch, I used the "love" from the Tiny Tags stamp set and used the Jewelry Tag punch and tied the punched shape to the grosgrain ribbon.
Tips from SunnyGirlScraps:
- Coordinate your card stock colors with the Designer Series Paper that you are using.
- Don't be afraid to follow a simple layout or sketch.
- Try not to overwhelm your card with competing Designer Series Paper.
- Have fun with a sketch!
If you have the opportunity, we would love to have you join in the fun and create a card using this weeks sketch for the Stampin' Queens! Here is the sketch! We love having our readers participate. I know I enjoy seeing everyone's creations along with their interpretation of the card sketch.

SQSC 24 Established Elegance Valentine
Welcome to another week of the Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge. This week I'm featuring the Established Elegance Valentine along with the Framelits Hearts Collection. I hope you enjoy and find inspiration from my card and the sketch. So, on that note…
Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge # 24
Established Elegance Valentine
When I first saw the Established Elegance stamp set in the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Catalog, I wan't overwhelmingly in love with the stamp set. But, I've seen some really cute cards and the set grew on me to the point that I had to have the set. It has a beautiful, vintage feel and when I was planning this card I just knew this was the stamp set I wanted to use.
For the background on the card, I started with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper layered with the Riding Hood Red 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon. A key feature of the card are the three hearts created using the Big Shot and the Framelits Hearts Collection. The largest heart in Riding Hood Red is stamped with images from the Established Elegance Stamp Set. The medium sized heart is Card Stock White Vellum and the smallest heart is stamped with Riding Hood Red classic ink again using the Established Elegance stamp set.
The final touches are the three flowers created using the Boho Blossoms Punch with Riding Hood Red card stock. Using the Loving Thoughts stamp set, I stamped "Memories" on a strip of Whisper White card stock then layered it onto Riding Hood Red card stock to make the tag. I added three Jewel Rhinestones on the bottom right corner to add some balance.
Design Tips by SunnyGirlScraps:
- For the new stamper, sketches are a great way to explore and help develop your own style.
- Create a main Focal Point such as clustering elements to help the eye focus on a specific portion of your card.
- Create balance. On this card, the three flowers and the three rhinestones help balance the larger hearts.
I hope you find inspiration with this weeks sketch along with my Design Team sample. This is the sketch for SQSC 24! There is lots of inspiration by the other Design Team members on the Stampin’ Queens Sketch Challenge blog, so take the time to visit the Stampin’ Queen’s Sketch Challenge blog. We love it when our stamping friends participate and post their wonderful creations!

SQSC 22 Everyday Enchantment
Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek
This week for the Stampin’ Queen’s Sketch Challenge 22, I’m featuring another sneak peek of Everyday Enchantment from the 2012 Sale-A-Bration brochure. The colors and patterns are just beautiful. I actually get a little sad thinking that Poppy Parade will be retiring in June after seeing this Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!
The moment I saw this weeks sketch for SQSC 22, I just knew what I was going to do and that I wanted to use the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper. I just knew that the colors would work so well together with the Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral. If anything, my love for the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper will mean that I use up my Poppy Parade card stock before it retires at the end of June 2012.
I hope you find inspiration with this weeks sketch along with my Design Team sample. Besides using the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, I stamped an image from the Apothecary Art Stamp Set then cut it out using the new Framelits Dies Labels Collection which I layered on Poppy Parade card stock. The “Just for You” from the Precious Butterflies Hostess Stamp Set found in the 2011 – 2012 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. The flower is from the Button Buddies Stamp Set.
This is the sketch for SQSC 22! There are lots of wonderful inspiration by the other Design Team members on the Stampin’ Queens Sketch Challenge blog, so take the time to visit the Stampin’ Queen’s Sketch Challenge blog. We love it when our stamping friends participate and post their wonderful creations!

Stampin’ Up! Apothecary Art and Framelits
So, yesterday I shared a Product Review with you introducing the new Stampin' Up! Framelits Dies and today I'm sharing a card I created which features the Framelits Labels Collection. It is with much anticipation and excitement that I introduce you to the…
Apothecary Art Stamp Set
The Apothecary Art Stamp Set is new from the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog. This card was made for the Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge #20 on January 4th. (I've been a slacker not posting my challenge cards in a timely matter or at all but my goal is to change that this year but with the start of the New Year, traveling and getting home followed by a mad dash to clean the house before my parents arrived, I didn't get around to writing my blog post.) I really love the look of "White-on-White" cards and new that is what I really wanted to accomplish with this card.
Now, at this time, I don't have a need for a Wedding card but hopefully I will in the future. To make this card, I dry embossed the background layer using the Finial Press Textured Embossing Folder which was layered on top of my Whisper White card base. Then I layered a piece of Organza Ribbon tied with a knot.
Next, I stamped my chosen image from the Apothecary Art Stamp Set and colored the flowers directly on the stamp with the Stampin' Write Markers using Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush and utilized the "huffing" technique or as I learned at the 2011 Stampin' Up! Convention to call it the "the Breathe of Life Technique." The image along with a border were cut out when I used the Framelits Dies from the Labels Collection. The banner was created using the Petal Cone Bigz L Die with the stamped sentiment from the new Loving Thoughts Stamp Set again found in the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog. Finally, all the pieces were layered together and placed on the card to create this elegant, Forever & Always card.
Tips and more from SunnyGirlScraps:
- When creating a "white-on-white" card, texture helps create interest along with depth.
- Use Dimensionals to help add additional depth to your layers.
- A little bit of color really pops out and creates an elegant card especially with the white space surrounding the image.
- Don't over embellish.
- To color directly on a stamp, use "paint brush" tip of the Stampin' Write Markers. After you are done coloring, gently "huff" then stamp your image.

New Product Review – Framelits Die!
I'm really excited about some new products that Stampin' Up! has introduced in the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog. If you own a Big Shot or similar die cutting machine you may already be familiar with a similar product that has been on the market for a while starting with the letter "N!" This new Stampin' Up! product comes with the Stampin' Up! guarantee of a quality product. So, let me introduce you to the…
Framelits!
.jpg)
To the left, you'll see a sample of the two Framelits Dies currently available in the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog. There is the Hearts Collection (125599) and Labels Collection (125598) each individually priced at $26.95 and exclusive to Stampin' Up! As described in the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog, the Framelits Dies are "innovative, thin, wafer-like design." So what makes these Framelits Dies unique? The design of these Framelits mean "you see where you're placing the design before you cut!" Another great feature of these Framelits Dies is that Stampin' Up! can create matching stamp sets. For example, The Labels Collection of the Framelits Dies coordinates with the Apothecary Art stamp set.
When using the Framelits with a stamped image, you layer the appropriate sized Framelit over the stamped image then run it through the Big Shot. Then you can "layer dies inside each other to cut frames for stamp images. Cut single hearts or labels for accents or layering." One rule of thumb that you should generally be followed is to use a single sheet of card stock or Designer Series Paper. I have seen people create a card using 2 layers of card stock or Designer Series Paper, but you need to keep in mind the thickness of the cardstock and I personally would not have more than two light weight card stock layers to create a folded card in the shape of the Framelits Dies that you have used.
Stay tuned for tomorrow when I share a card I created using the Labels Collection with the Apothecary Art Stamp Set. I have to say that I'm in love with the Apothecary Art Stamp Set especially when paired with the Framelits Dies Labels Collection. As I become more familiar with these products myself, I'm certain you'll see more of them here on my blog.
