Happy Father's Day!

Hello everyone!  Happy Monday to you.  I have my one and only Father's Day card here for you:
I got the pattern for this card at Amy Celona's website: http://www.ustamp4fun.com  She has another great download on the same page for a shirt with a vest.  Actually I did make two, but I didn't put the shirt collar buttons in the right place, so I can't use it.  Oh well. 

Everyone stay cool!

Blessings,


Terri

PPA 46

Happy Friday everyone!  Here is my card for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge #46:

The colors we had to use were Bermuda Bay, So Saffron and Soft Suede.  I didn't have the Bermuda Bay so I substituted with Taken w/Teal.  The stamp set I used was Asian Artistry.

You won't believe this, but Camcao on Splitcoast Stampers used this same stamp set.  I couldn't believe it!  She posted way ahead of me, but, I swear I didn't see hers until after I had made mine!  I wasn't even going to post to SCS until I posted here on my website.  After seeing hers, I went ahead and posted to SCS!  Go figure!  All I could think was.. "Great minds think alike!"

Hope you like this one.  Have a great weekend!

Blessings,


Terri

PJ Inspiration

Hi everyone!  Happy Thursday to you.  I've been making "A" card all day long.  Yeesh!  Does being creative have to be so difficult??  I guess it does for me, oh well.  I'll explain more later.  Here is my inspiration for this card:



Yep, that's right ladies. These are the pajamas I was wearing this morning when the idea hit, lol!  You never know where your inspiration will come from!







This is my card.  I have to confess that this is not exactly where I was going.  I wanted more gray in the card and more fuchsia.  I also went through three different flower stamps until I settled on this one. When I started adding the gray and the fuchsia, it just didn't look right.  I tried using one of the stamp sets that were layered, oh my, that was a disaster.  Then I tried the stamp set Watercolor Trio.  That just wasn't big enough.  When I used this stamp (Fifth Avenue Floral), I thought it was perfect, but not for the colors I wanted.  I think because I used a "pink" background the fuchsia just didn't cut it.  Maybe I'll make another one and see, lol!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,


Terri

Mojo 142

Hi everyone.  I'm not sure if I am back in the creative swing or not.  This card took me awhile.  We'll see.  Here is my submission for Mojo 142.  Since it has been awhile since I have done a Mojo, I'm going to try to work backwards until I get caught up, (riiiight....)  



Paper: Bella Rose DSP, old olive and white card stock.
Stamps:  Water color trio
Accessories:  scallop punch and 1 3/8" circle punch, eyelet border punch, nesties, old olive ribbon and dimensionals (to pop up the cut out rose (from the Bella Rose DSP)


Thanks for stopping by.  Hopefully, my mojo will continue to work!

Blessings, 


Terri

And last, but not least....

This is my last case for the cards I saw in my local card store.  Thank goodness.  I'm ready to move on to something new.  Here is their card: (actually, it's a gift bag!)




















And here is my card:




I used plain white card stock, Pink Passion Ink, Elements of Style Stamp set (flowers), All a Flutter (the butterfly) and Elegant Thank You. The ribbon is black satin.  All items are Stampin' Up!

You'll have to check out my Stampin Up Website to see the new collections in the Summer Mini.  Elements of Style is my favorite!   

Check them all out HERE!





I hope  everyone has a great day tomorrow.  Also, I will not  be posting for about two weeks.  I am visiting friends and won't be able to make cards! 

Everyone take care and I'll see you soon.

Thanks for dropping by!

Blessings,

Terri

Case No. 3

Hello everyone!  I am still working on recreating the cards I saw in my local card store.  Here is number three.  Their card:




The  polka dot part is actually the flap of the envelope that comes with this card.  I think this is actually stationery.  I am not sure what the circle in the middle is for.   Do you happen to see the polka dot punches look alike on this card like I do????











Here is my card:


I used two different stamps from Polka Dot Punches.  I embossed them with white embossing powder and just like my previous card, I had to manually add the black with my marker.  I added the corner brackets (Spellbinders) and also the sentiment.  The victorian style label (the black one)  is also Spellbinders.  The inner white label is an SU! punch.  The Thank You sentiment is also SU!







Thanks again for looking!  I have one more which I will post tomorrow.  I just finished it tonight and I still need to take a photo.  I'm waiting for daylight so I can take the photo outside!

Have a wonderful evening!

Blessings,

Terri
