It seems that I never have any pre-made cards when I need them.<br />So to make sure I don't fall short of any cards, I have vowed (to myself) to begin making two of every card that I post. One for the recipient, the other to keep. For cards that are gender related, I will make one feminine and the other masculine.<br />Lately my design styles have been in a very simplistic kind of way. With this card, although I want to add more, I am satisfied with the cleanness of this design.<br />Maybe my next design I will add a few more deets and one or two more flowers. Although the picture doesn't capture it, a tiny squeeze of stickles was added to the center of each flower.<br /><br />I cased the layout from a member at SCS but added a different twist of my own.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Stamps: best blossoms & PTI (sentiment)<br />Paper: PTI berry, SU white and black<br />Ink: PTI berry, SU black and Green<br />Accessories: Stickles </span>Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34070992.post-15400119724310482462008-06-02T21:01:00.004-05:002008-06-02T21:18:05.738-05:00Apron Recipe Card<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxlmBiCgXJxFTdHUVqU3hlmat2ab0ayFS4PGHeAfCt0_KFF_4NEQERMuiJqCQ0eh4Q6BnPiOkpEb6A_WDGkTXRd8gorX0SEPLTmG1OoRXGKITbg_r85L5K8wRF7C4mNW3RufshQA/s1600-h/apron_by_skissunshyn.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207473111127609074" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxlmBiCgXJxFTdHUVqU3hlmat2ab0ayFS4PGHeAfCt0_KFF_4NEQERMuiJqCQ0eh4Q6BnPiOkpEb6A_WDGkTXRd8gorX0SEPLTmG1OoRXGKITbg_r85L5K8wRF7C4mNW3RufshQA/s320/apron_by_skissunshyn.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>This is my weekly promise to myself to stamp and post one card per week.

My goal each week is to stamp one card and post. Instead of waiting for my Cuttlebug swiss dot folder to arrive I improvised. I stamped houndstooth background in craft white to soften the aqua paper and to add texture to the card.<br />I used my cuttlebug folder, tied the charm with ribbon and then popped it up using SU glue dots. There are a lot of soft details which is hard to see in the photo but very lovely IRL!<br />Thanks for stopping by...<br /><br /><br /><br /><table class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="90%"><tbody id="collapseobj_photoinfo" style=""><tr><td class="alt1" align="left"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Stamps:</b> SU houndstooth </span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" align="left"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Paper:</b> PTI aqua paper, SU white </span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" align="left"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Ink:</b> Craft white </span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" align="left"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Accessories:</b> Charm, PTI ribbon, glue dots and cuttlebug folder</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table>Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34070992.post-39179930103173836752008-05-28T15:24:00.002-05:002008-05-28T15:25:37.274-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGI1IBy8BhKJGeB_dIEV6sZ5lmqAG5_HbNthdhxaO8NmarQTne_F1GN04EGDWFk4-VWxgT4wlhl4sn0y1bBw_FBYaSCuBk87HLpiwPfCkqfmVg3hamQeQOznaWcxbVVZVGibmT9g/s1600-h/thinking+of+you.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGI1IBy8BhKJGeB_dIEV6sZ5lmqAG5_HbNthdhxaO8NmarQTne_F1GN04EGDWFk4-VWxgT4wlhl4sn0y1bBw_FBYaSCuBk87HLpiwPfCkqfmVg3hamQeQOznaWcxbVVZVGibmT9g/s320/thinking+of+you.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205527426940109906" border="0" /></a><br />I finally received my first set of Papertrey Ink stamps (yeah!) and immediately thought of trying Zindorfs' technique (<a href="http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/" target="_blank">http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com</a>) for SU's inspiration challenge and what do you think?!

I saw the striped paper at Michaels along with a package of shimmer texture paper and thought they would make a good pair. I tried to keep the layout simple and not too much fussiness that ribbon sometimes gives cards.<br />I added some stickles to the truck and leaves of the tree to give is some added shine. A paper punch was used for the dots and they were also adhered with a dot of stickles.<br />After looking at the card, this card could also be used as a Christmas card for a male by using a holiday sentiment. </div><div><br />My inspiration came from this card:</div><div><a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/917678?limit=last1">http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/917678?limit=last1</a> </div><div><br />Thanks for looking!<br /><br /><table class="tborder" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="90%"><tbody id="collapseobj_photoinfo" style=""><tr><td class="alt1" align="left"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Stamps:</b> Lovely as a tree, sentiment </span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" align="left"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Paper:</b> Gold texture paper, designer paper, SU black and sahara sand </span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" align="left"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Ink:</b> SU black and gold ink </span></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="alt1" align="left"> <span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="smallfont"><b>Accessories:</b> Foam pop up, paper punch, stickles</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div>Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34070992.post-66015539904659247392008-05-15T09:33:00.002-05:002008-05-15T09:34:47.435-05:00Graduation Announcement<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_tOn0rwxPyzsZdi6hl-WD95kbA2CHPxSEJRevYE5iQmAT9PVXsvK8oyxKJsfgtTARlZdbRB1qdPiK8RNylgdCxZJ6wN4oFdQgPlF-6MPSeouIRak-8ZR_pFcpcD8_ettaZ-9iDQ/s1600-h/graduation+card.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_tOn0rwxPyzsZdi6hl-WD95kbA2CHPxSEJRevYE5iQmAT9PVXsvK8oyxKJsfgtTARlZdbRB1qdPiK8RNylgdCxZJ6wN4oFdQgPlF-6MPSeouIRak-8ZR_pFcpcD8_ettaZ-9iDQ/s320/graduation+card.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200612954879199282" border="0" /></a><br />I decided to make a gate folded card for my daughters graduation announcement.

It 'gives' me a reason to justify why I have to stamp and not get things done around the house.<br />Since the Stampin Up retirement list came out, I realized how many stamps of mine are now retired. Boo hoo.<br />But on the up side, I can start looking for new stamps. There are soooo many stamps that I would love to add to my small gallery of stamps that I don't know where to begin. I guess I will have to wait until some of the new releases show up on the websites.

I wanted to add more to the design but I knew I "had" to refrain otherwise I would be defeating the purpose of the challenge. LOL<br />It is hard to see from the pic but I used SU shimmer cs. My camera makes the layered shimmer cs a lot whiter than the rest of the paper. Hmmm.<br />I "touched" the little balls of the flower with Sakura glaze pen and followed the stem with Stickles glitter glue. (you can tell from my terminology I do NOT know the intricate parts of a flower.

I was never satisfied with using the standard 5.5 x 4.25 card size. The only thing for me to try was to break out of my shell and try another size. Gasp.. ME change?<br /><br />I am glad I made the switch! All of the A Muse stamp layout designs are now easier for me using a 4.25 x 4.25 card size.<br /><br />I will add another card sometime this weekend. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">TFL</span>!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Supplies: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">SU</span> green galore, only orange, pink passion, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ww</span>, yo yo yellow, black, punches, black brads, linen background, noteworthy, inks are the same colors as papers, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">dimensional</span>; A muse micro dot gem, stamp; <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Michael's</span> ribbon; <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Sakura</span> black gloss pen</span>Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34070992.post-73411624291926184852007-04-08T08:43:00.000-05:002007-04-08T08:50:32.659-05:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnwM5P5eq0AWvHYFesETajIatt_oaXILEivgiUS3xiJq8RgtWYCOBm1WD9Sj2w5oYZSMmjx1mJNWfUb4jqm26pc8PQelcthr7e46969qXP8NBXZjF3EWdCwy3bW1_a2oU6oEofA/s1600-h/black+white+forgotten+stamp.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051053410615983890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnwM5P5eq0AWvHYFesETajIatt_oaXILEivgiUS3xiJq8RgtWYCOBm1WD9Sj2w5oYZSMmjx1mJNWfUb4jqm26pc8PQelcthr7e46969qXP8NBXZjF3EWdCwy3bW1_a2oU6oEofA/s200/black+white+forgotten+stamp.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Happy Easter!!</div><br /><div>This is the last, (I hope) for my black and white kick.

Although the silver magic mesh is discontinued I thought it went well with this challenge. I embossed the houndstooth on black card stock using white ep and lightly brush the swirls with craft white . I also added a strip of black grograin ribbon to seperate the mesh from the houndstooth panel.

After making the hard decision to drop demo-ship with SU, I sold many of my stamps sets. And since then, (about 1.5 years) I have never replenished my stash of stamps. Now I don't feel guilty in supporting another stamp company when I want to purchase one of their stamps. But enough of ramblings.<br /><br />I agonized over this card. I wanted to do something different and use a stamp that no one used at SCS challenge. That is when it hit me like a ton of bricks. I NEED MORE STAMPS.<br />Guess what sites I'm visiting today?!<br /><br />The white in on the card isn't white but bashful blue.

April 4th already? It does not seem like spring to me yet. We have had high wind warnings since last night and the winds have not diminished as of this morning. I think the entire household, including four legged ones, had a hard time sleeping. The wind rattled the windows all night long. With all that wind it is COLD this morning. I had to get the winter coat out AGAIN. YUCK. <br />Well one good thing is that the colder weather is keeping me indoors so that I can stamp! Along with having TWO, I say TWO consecutive days off!! I actually feel like I get a free day all to myself. Yeah!<br />I decided to blow off the dust from this background stamp and see what I could create with it. This is my creation using the color challenge at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/. <br />TFL!Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34070992.post-80232093298960062982007-03-22T09:13:00.000-05:002007-03-22T09:17:18.107-05:00Silver anniversary<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCx1mFC6jEz0ak7eqWn68GLObL-mvrETA-YEibEVxaSjbzwlyr_zztMJshqAtLMck97UMEwMERUZB6uJ5El4-FrlEuyRcst7xe1O19qpLW01JR3304Z-ndbtHqf4lGDeRj75Btzw/s1600-h/silver+cuttlebug..jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCx1mFC6jEz0ak7eqWn68GLObL-mvrETA-YEibEVxaSjbzwlyr_zztMJshqAtLMck97UMEwMERUZB6uJ5El4-FrlEuyRcst7xe1O19qpLW01JR3304Z-ndbtHqf4lGDeRj75Btzw/s200/silver+cuttlebug..jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5044752657293303490" /></a><br />I used a layout challenge from http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com for this card. Once I found how to use the reverse image from the Cuttlebug die cut, I couldn't stop. I cut two different colors from the paper and then pieced them in the color order as shown. I used a versamark pen for the candles and then silver embossed them. This adds a very nice touch to the candles. A great card to give a couple for their silver anniversary IMO. Sorry for the darkened image. I wanted to show how glitzy the card is IRL.

Oh nooo) in making a masculine 50th birthday card. I used dimentionals to raise the white CB panel along with the cake. I cut two different colored die cuts and then pieced with the colors shown. The cake base is the negative of the die cut. FYI, the one candle was left without a flame on purpose. My guy "kindly" pointed out that I forgot to color one of them. At 50, who has that amount of breath left in them to blow out ALL the candles at once??!!

I randomly sponged apricot appeal & certain celery craft ink and quickly dusted with halogram ep and heat set. I tied the bootie with apricot appeal grograin ribbon, and then tied the charm on using silver cord. The charm was a great find in the baby isle at Michaels. 24 charms for 1.00...!!!. the bootie sparkles a great deal IRL. The gurlz in the office went ga-ga the first time I made this bootie for an office baby shower.

I then went over the remaining white spaces with vanilla distressing ink (cool stuff). Punch was made using the Marvy scalloped punch (not giga size). At the end of each swirl, I added a small amount of DD. The scan did not pick up on how glittery the front of the card looks like.<br />Baby was popped out using a dimentional. I used the 1/16 hole punch to punch holes on the babies outfit to give it a two dimentional burst of color. Freckles for the baby was mandatory!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Supplies: SU WW,certain celery,creamy carmel, apricot appeal CS,inks,chalks,marker,1/16 hole punch dimentional, DD,scallop punch & apricot grograin ribbon, A Muse Gem, Michaels $1 stamp. </span>Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34070992.post-91323493908378264362007-03-05T10:11:00.000-06:002007-03-05T10:26:11.562-06:00Floral Sympathy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFWbA3pVEgHfzU3TSjRujtGGBjJfnnB6ddKO7lblYW6o99CQ5xn-yd9X-in8akuqD0rMaNh3S-SFfkGaV5UqOBYcVsqlJsRhbULiwU4FFxEBbsRWEZwhq8uq_Fbjt1zhowUoP7A/s1600-h/sympathy_2007_by_skissunshyn.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNFWbA3pVEgHfzU3TSjRujtGGBjJfnnB6ddKO7lblYW6o99CQ5xn-yd9X-in8akuqD0rMaNh3S-SFfkGaV5UqOBYcVsqlJsRhbULiwU4FFxEBbsRWEZwhq8uq_Fbjt1zhowUoP7A/s200/sympathy_2007_by_skissunshyn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038477090456098722" border="0" /></a><br />I liked the way this card turned out. Very soft and simple. The left over designer paper was begging me to do something with it. I found the gorgeous velvet ribbon at Micheals and when "a" met "b", I came up with this card! <br /><br />I printed the sentiment from the computer and die cut it using the oval Cuttlebug die cut.The buckle die almost looks real by using the Halogram Highlights EP.<br />The only thing that was difficult about the card was getting the center oval to attach to the oval frame. This is where a Xyron machine would have come in handy! And if only I had a 40% coupon to purchase one.<br /><br />*** This morning sitting on my office desk was a 40% coupon from Michaels advertisement! Was someone listening to me? Any who, thank you very much Dusty!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Supplies: SU Very vanilla & Choco Chip CS, Halogram Highlights, Versamark & dimentional, Michaels designer paper & ribbon, Cuttlebug Die cut.</span>Skissunshynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08865687968833158277noreply@blogger.com0
