Thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!

The stamp set I wanted for the inside of the card arrived – SU!’s Little Additions. Now I can start putting together:

Die cut images from PTI’s It’s a Jungle Out There. |

Onsie die cuts. |

Die cut card bases. |
Notice each onsie has a different main color. I had added a sticky note to each onsie noting the coordinating color I wished to use for ink.
First up were the Pear Pizzaz duo – striped and polka dotted. The paper is from the SU! Designer Series Patterns Pack In Color.


Here’s some pics of the steps in creating these two cards…

Choose die cut – I chose the Giraffe. |
Choose the die cut and select TWO colors. The PTI set It’s a Jungle Out There is a two step set. My colors were Garden Green and Pear Pizzaz, a SU! Dynamic Duo! They sound like Super Heros. Maybe they are…hmmm…

Stamp the spots in Garden Green. |

Stamp the body in Pear Pizzaz. |

ETA: These cards fit in a standard (card) size envelope.





A quick project, a SMASHing idea book page and the cover for the stamp storage case. I believe I bought this set wood mounted…and never mounted it on the wood. LOL. Do you have any unmounted stamp sets…purchased and not yet used? (ahem) When I get all my stamp sets “logged” into my SMASHing idea book…I won’t. LOL.
I really want to get into the moment here…when I buy it, use it. No saving it for later! Do it NOW! Later, I forget WHY I bought something and HOW I was inspired to use it. Gotta change that!

I was looking for some paper to use for this picture and for the upteenth time passed by this SU! Specialty Pack…was I saving it for a “special project”? HUH? What’s more special than this project? 😉

I don’t remember the name of this SU! Specialty paper pack, but I used the heavy shimmery copper, the satin stripe Whisper White and the stain stripe Crumb Cake. I love it! It really did not photograph well.
I’m no longer a paper hoarder. Seriously. How am I going to enjoy the beautifuf paper when the paper is in a drawer? I’m not. Or the pictures while they are in a frame in the closet or an envelope in a box? I’m not.
I can now just open an album…and enjoy the pictures for which I handed over a bunch of FRNs AND the gorgeous paper that…well…I had to hand over a bunch of FRNs for, too. LOL. Point is…if it’s good enough to buy, good enough to keep, find a way to enjoy it. I think I watched WAY to much Clean Sweep. LOL. Nope…I like that show! The one thing I took away from that show is if you’re gonna keep something, honor it. Place it somewhere you can enjoy it. Otherwise, it probably needs to go.

There’s been lots of posts & challenges lately using colored pencils to color stamped images. Flashback! When I was in school, I called these “map pencils” because we had to have them to color maps in geography class!
To try this technique, I didn’t have to purchase ANY special tools. I had these items around already.

Stamp your image in Staz-on and color away! Then use a blending pen dipped in baby oil and blend. Best results occur when coloring in small circles and blending in small circles.

I was practicing a new technique and used the results for my SMASHing idea book. It’s a very relaxing & fun technique. This is also the first time I’ve inked up Stampin’ Up!’s Havvest Home. I think I know why; it requires coloring. LOL. And I cannot find ANYTHING using Havest Home saved to my favorites on SCS. HUH? Why did I buy this? Have you ever asked that question?
Guess I’ll find something to do with it…otherwise it was just a practice set for a new technique. LOL.

I got two birds with one stone with this one…a card / idea I wanted to case, which was the flash card idea AND finished a DTGD challenge I didn’t finish before the DTGD deadline. Nothing like finishing up unfinished biz-ness.

This wasn’t intended to be a baby boy card AT ALL! But it sure looks like one! The DSP is retired SU! Summer Picnic – which doesn’t sound like baby boy material…but it is what it is…and I now have a baby boy card to send. Guess I should go ahead and finish up the inside and do an enevelope…

Better! I brought the front inside and the inside to the envelope. LOL. I pulled the sentiment from another PTI set…Bundle of Love.

I love this mix of patterned papers! The purple is pulled from the moddled background! Perfect plum! Yummy! All products Stampin’ Up! ‘cept the kid…and the photograph.

A western themed photo…taken at the age of 13. I dug out some SU! Outlaw DSP, and paired it with some Chocolate Chip and PTI Ocean Tides. I’m pulling out the “antique green / gray” in the background of the photo as I do not want to compete with the red shirt.

Green and red are complementary colors – they are opposite each other on the color wheel and they bring out the best in each other. Kind of like best friends! They are high energy colors, but this subdued green doesn’t compete with the red.
