Faux Marble

I remember  making  a card with this technique  a few years ago and thought it  would be  fun to re- visit  it this past weekend .. I used  the MORNING SOFT stamp set.  Click HERE to  view the written  directions   on how to  do this technique  and  you  can  see another  version of this technique click HERE   and it will be the "Friendship" card  in the  top left  corner That I did  for a swap  for the Holland  seminar  back in 2005.   I will  do a  video very soon  since there is a  slight  trick to the  ripping  that I think a video will help you understand  a  bit more .

Supplies used

Card stock: Tempting Turq, Whisper White, Black & Certainly  Celery

Accessories :

Aqua apinter to add a splash of  color( certainly  celery , tempting turq)  to the  images  on the  whisper white, Black embossing powder, white embossing powder, black marker  and  corner rounder  punch  for bottom  scallops

Envelope pouch holder ~ Video

A oldie but still a  goodie.. I just love these  envelope  holders. I haven 't made one of these in  so long I almost forgot  how cute they are ..  I used a standard sized Medium whisper white SU! envelope sealed  shut   and then  cut 1 1/2 " off the  top and  ran the bottom  section of my envelope  through the  CRIMPER ( sideways  into crimper  this makes the base a tad bit  smaller  so the lid will slide back on very easily )  anyway My mom purchased SASSY SUZIE and I  had to  ink her up 1st  so I made this .. I think she is sooo cute .. I decided  to add a saying to each  section as you  can see in  the 3 photos I have  posted  I also added    some FLOWERS FOR YOU designer paper  and  also a strip  on the insert  for the Happy Birthday greeting.. the Only thing  tough about making this  project was  trying to  decide what  saying to use  from this set since they are alll sooo stinkin funny .. (  you can click on  any photos  to enlarge  for better viewing if you  wish ) BUT if you need more of a visual of this project Click on over to my STAMPIN STUDIO  and see the  quick  video on this project ..

Thanks so much for  stopping  by today ..  I am sooo thankful my Taxes are done  and over with, at least for  another year ~WHEW!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday.

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

FINALLY!!

I am just now  getting  around to using the  images  I  got to  color with the Copic markers  from the SCS  event  I went  to  earlier this month(click HERE to refresh your memory )  anyway these were the images Rose Ann had on hand  for all of us to  try out the  fabulous Copics and of course I was a multi visitor  to Rose Ann's station ( wink wink )   and these were the 2 best out of  4 trys  :-)  I  really love how viberant the  copics markers  are But Can't  see  myself  sending that kind of money  But thats another story ( Can you Say Christmas present next year :)  The Copics does take alot of pratice  using them ..  I  made these 2  cards  with those images ..  Over all they both  are Pretty  simple  cards, But I really like the way they look .. I also used the SAB Love & Happiness Rub ons  for the greeting  in the bottom  right hand corner ..

SU! Card stock colors I used for

card #1

Green Galore, Lovely  Lilac  and black

Card  #2

Cameo Coral , Lovely  lilac  and cho chip  for the background on  both cards I used the Jumbo  wheel  ROUGH TEXTURE  and  the CORNER PUNCH was  also used on  both cards .

Also did you know Scissor charms  are BACK!! :

Then used  Real red cardstock for the  accents  with 13/8 Sq punch  with RED GINGHAM  ribbon and my WHITE GEL PEN   to  finish  this sweet card ..  Tomorrow morning  I am going to go get out taxes done .. Should be a fun filled  4 hours :-)Thanks  so much for peeking in today and I will see you all again tomorrow ..

He has been transfered to a new base ( very small ) in  the area which was known as Babylon  in Bible times  and well  I'm  requesting  prayers for him  and all who are over in Iraq seems   bombs are  hitting  this  base  where  my hubby  is  at daily  sometimes  up to 12 times a day  I can't imagine  the fear  they live with every day over there . My hubby  is also waiting hear  about the State dept  Job he  applied for.  We are also praying for God's will for  this situation also .. He is very excited  about  that  position  But  with good  things ,  It  seems  to have  a  down  side  HUH? ..  When he  gets this position w/ the State dept it looks like he will be over there  for at least  another year , Praise God  that HE is in control  and I have faith in what ever happens  will be  the perfect  thing for him and us .  God is using him in  ways  we would have never thought . Thank you  for your prayers  girls . Wishing you  all a Very Blessed Resurrection Sunday. Praise God~ He has Risen

Something cute ..

I made this  with the idea  coming   from my new  stampin friend Rachel  Spano and her Hubby Jason ( You guys ROCK!) Rachel mentioned  that her hubby  thought  it would be  cute to make  this  holder made  with the  face   from the PICK A PETAL stamp set .. You can see the  card that  this idea  came from HERE  Plus  watch the  video there also .  Jason  mentioned  that we  could put  something  inside the holder to   help with  someone feeling under the  weather .. something like a  Vitamin C  drink, or  something  I thought of  was maybe chicken soup  etc... But all I had were these  Crystal  light  orange  packets  at the time .  I think it is  still cute as can be .. Thanks  guys for  your  awesome idea .

Yesterday Jessie and I went to the medical clinic  her for a sore throat and me  for the lower  part of my calf  well it turns out I have  a infection  and Jessie is fine  BUT here comes the BAAAADDD news I had to get a  BIG HUGE SHOT IN MY BUM  Ouchie  man that thing  hurt so bad But I  put my  big girl panties  on  yesterday and didnt even cry Boo Hoo   (  I sure  wanted to though) as soon as the needle came in the room Jessie was out the  door~Gee  whiz where's  the support  when I need it  anyway ?   I swear that thing  felt like a sledge hammer  on my bum  Funny thing was  that the nurse said is was going to hurt  and I just laughed ( silly me ) geezzzz oh petes I haven't had a shot in my bum in over 2 decades  and how bad could it be, I mean  really I give my self  injections with embrel twice a week in my thigh for my  RA.   BOY  was I in for a shock !   after about  20mins of  rubbing my  butt cheek  and  not sitting  down it seemed to be alot better.. Now I have to take  antibotic  for 10 days  HUMMM Why couldn't he have just given me the pills without that SHOT ? well I go back today and have a check on my leg  and all I got to say Is  I will  NOT  NOT NOT get another Shot  No way No how ! It  was  terrible  OH the pain... OK  well maybe not as bad as my  2 knee replacements  BUT it still HURT ! Now I have  a reason  to  take a picture of my bum  and send it to hubby wink wink !   I know he would have  stayed  in the room with me . Hey,I do not usually  call "It" my bum.. I have to remember I have younger  audience (I have been told ) that visits my  blog ( Love  those little ones  that love to stamp  along with me too!)

Hi  little  guys & gals! 

Thank  you  for visiting  me today  ( I think I got my fix  for the smiley Faces in  for the week )  ok just one more for the day . I will catch  you  all  again tomorrow.

Until then ... Happy Stampin!!

Simple card Friday ..

Hi girls  I thought  I would share this  simple card  using the PUN FUN stamp set. Actually this set is my Moms New set, so I just had to swipe it (I mean Borrow it  Hee! Hee! ) when she got it  :-)  I soo love this Hippo is this  Set I also used  the FAMILY PHRASES stamp set for the Happy Birthday . Color  combo is Tempting Turq, Black and Certainly celery  Slit  punch was used for the  side  border  and  I used the  Tempting turq  and certainly celery MARKERS from SU!  For my Background I used the SPRINKLES stamp  set.  I  really  love the New FINE COSMO  glitter  On this  card I used the  Turquoise color  from this glitter Combo along with  a strip of Turquoise GG ribbon. The smaller scallops  are from the  scallop punch I just cut out 3 joining scallops and adhered  them to my  card  ( I 1st punched the center out with the 1 3/8 circle punch  the  punched  the scallop  then trimmed  the 3 joining  scallops out  with my scissors )   Wishing  you a Great Friday.

Super  FUN  Saturday for me  tomorrow (YAHOO! )   and it will be for YOU too, YOU Won't want to miss it ! . But before   Tomorrow's BIG Day  I have  big things  going on tonight  also  ( Club night  in my  stampin room at 6:00pm tonight :-)   Then Jessie has a  lock in at Game works with our Church's youth group .Busy Busy !! Thanks   for sharing a part of your day with me. I will see you all again tomorrow ..
