Masculine Upsy Daisy???

Okay, so can you make a masculine card with the Upsy Daisy set??? I really like these colors together and the card looks great, but not so feminine. I find myself VERY challenged these days. Stamping in an RV has it's limitations, but at least I get to do something!! I have no ribbon with me, only brads and eyelets. My paper is pretty limited also. The stamps that I have with me are mostly those used with acrylic blocks, so they are easy to store. The only wood mounted sets that I have with me are Upsy Daisy, Lovely as a Tree and a sentiment set. Digi stamping may come pretty familiar to me.......I do have my Cuttlebug and EF folders.......all is not lost :0) .

Supplies: Cardstock-Stampin' Up! DCWV, Pattern Paper DCWV, Upsy Daisy set and markers-SU, Brads-JoAnn's.

Thanks for stopping by today! God Bless!

MOJO 90

Good Morning. It is overcast and rainy here in Idaho today.......not so bad I guess, I can stay in and stamp! Today's card is my MOJO Monday submission. I made the card using 1 full sheet of Gina K Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock folded in half, so it is larger than most cards I make. It is for my mother-in-law for her birthday in a few weeks. I also added the sentiment on the front of the card (which was not part of the sketch), I just couldn't get used to that big, white space.

Supplies: Cardstock-Gina K, Stampin' Up!, DSP-Stampin' Up!, Stamps- SU, Inkadinkado, Ink-Rose Red-Memento, Koh-i-noor Pencils, OMS, Cuttlebug EF and Scallop Circle Nestibilities-Spellbinders.

Mojo Monday 87

Good Morning! I was able to play along with the Mojo Monday sketch again this week. They are always so much fun. Take some time to visit Julee's site and see all the fun that goes on there! It is truly an inspiring place. As usual, my card is pretty simple, I really struggle with elegant....I'm just a simple girl I guess. :0) Here's my card, I hope you enjoy it.

Supplies: Paper-Gina K, Stampin' Up! Stamps-Great Impressions, Anita's, Ink-Tuxedo Black-Memento, Koh-i-noor Pencils, OMS, Ribbon-American Crafts, Scalloped Edger-SU, Scalloped Nestie-Spellbinders, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, Small Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping by today! God Bless Ya REAL good!

Simple.....but Elegant

Looking forward to the weekend? We should have a pretty quiet one here. It is supposed to be rainy.......maybe a pot of soup is in order.
Today's card is made from a sketch I used several years ago. The background is done with the "Script" background stamp (Retired Stampin' Up!). I masked the center area with an oval piece of paper so that I could place the tulip bulb image. I used my Scallop Edger on the Navy (Bazzil) and Silver (SU) cardstock and then pierced the scallops with my mat pack and paper piercer. The finishing touch is Navy Organdy ribbon (Retired SU). Flower image is colored with markers.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a good one. God Bless!

Oh So Lovely

Todays card was so much fun to make. The colors look really nice together I think. I saw the the shadow behind the brads on a card from the SCS site. I just punched holes in cardstock and used the circles......perfect!! Centering the brads on them are a trick though, because they are so small. But they are easy to replace when you mess one up!!! HEEHEE...... I really enjoy using my Mat Pack also. It is nice to have a tool that helps to space my piercing. Again, the Cuttlebug comes thru to add texture and wow factor. I do seem to have a bit of trouble getting cardstock to stick to the embossed texture though. Any suggestions out there?

Supplies: All Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted. Cardstock-Taken With Teal,Chocolate Chip, Confetti White. Marker; Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black Stamp Pad. Stamps: Oh So Lovely,

Paper Piercing-Mat Pack. Organdy Ribbon. Swirls Embossing Folder. Silver Brads
