Father's Day Card

 The combination of Soft Suede ink sponged onto Sahara Sand cardstock gives a look of suede or aged leather and is SO easy!  I am happy to announce both Lovely As A Tree and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets have made it into Stampin' Up!s new Idea Book and Catalog.

Though hard to photograph, the center panel is spritzed with gold Smooch Spritz which adds a whole layer of richness.

This card is 5-1/4" square so that is fits perfectly in the medium square envelope 107289.

If you need supplies to make this card or other projects, you can order them directly through my Stampin' Up! online store by clicking Shop Now once you arrive.  Or email me.  However, I am off to Girl Scout camp today so will not receive messages until Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Halloween mojo

I have so much mojo I can hardly sit in my chair! This is my third post today so be sure to check the one before because it's the start of my September blog candy!

***

Today's card idea uses the wonderful Wide Oval Punch from Stampin' Up! I love the versatility of the punch. It is not too large, but big enough for images and to make this fun (and easy) pumpkin. The stem is punched with the Modern Label Punch

• The layout is from today's mojomonday 104 sketch. It's a great one for round objects.

This is a 5-1/2"x4-1/4" card with the fold along the top.

• the background was created by randomly inking the diamond Texturz plate before running it in the Big Shot
• each piece of the pumpkin is sponged around the edge before assembling
• ink: basic black, old olive, pumpkin pie
• stamp sets: Sweet Centers (holiday mini catalog), Teeny Tiny Wishes
• cardstock: kraft, whisper white, pumpin pie, old olive
• accessories: 5/8" old olive ribbon (a must have), 1/2" striped grosgrain in pumpkin pie

That's it for me today! Be sure to check out that Halloween theme blog candy.

• Cards of the Month for October releases tomorrow!

Late Unscripted

Today, the card idea had to wait until after the morning workshop! I grabbed the sketch over at Unscripted Sketches since it's Saturday. Guess what? They have expanded their design team so now you can see lots of wonderful and inspiring projects each Saturday.Since I had my In Colors and Autumn Days stamp set still out from Cards of the Month Club I used them for today's card. This is a standard A2 size, using US sketch #21.
stamp sets: Autumn Days and Teen Tiny Wishes
ink and cardstock colors: Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
tools and accessories: Dusty Durango 1/2" polka-dot grosgrain ribbon, Big Shot with Texturz Plate from Stampin' Up! Backgrounds #1, scallop edge punch

Are you in the mood for fall? We are having a cool day that's just screaming "football!" so I couldn't help but use fall colors today.

Have a great weekend!

The rubber stamping idea for you today includes very little stamping! This candy purse is more of a paper folding project and makes a great thank you gift.

We will be giving these to the bus drivers tomorrow because I am soooo thankful that they deliver my children to school and back home each day.

To make the first one, I measured the Hershey nuggets and went from there. These are economical, too, because you can get 2 out of 1 piece of cardstock. Here's what I used:

• So Saffron cardstock cut to 4-1/2"x7" for purse, 1"x3" for tab, and punched with Modern label punch for the closure
• Tea Party designer series paper cut to 2"x7-1/8" for purse, 2-3/4"x3/4" for tab, and 6 pieces 1-1/4"x2-3/4" for nuggets
• Pretty in Pink cardstock punched with Three Flower punch for decorations
• Old Olive flowers cut with one of the Birds and Blooms dies and the Big Shot
• Bashful Blue 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
• silver brads
• Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and regal rose ink
• lots of sticky strip!

Everything is Stampin' Up! except the pearls.

The box size ends up 2-3/4"x 3"x 3/4". I think anyone would be happy to receive such a cute little package!

Thanks for stopping by today!
