A Few Card Camp Cards

Hi stamping friends!

It's been a while since I've posted, I know. I've been taking it easy lately and hanging out with the family a little more and in the stamp room a little less. But this weekend I had to get in there and get the designed finished off for the Card Camp I am having this weekend.

Here are two of the cards we will be making this weekend.

Usually I get nine designs completed and struggle for that 10th. I knew I wanted to use the Holy Triptych set (specifically this image since I have not yet used it at a camp) and the Medallion background together. I went downstairs and took a break as nothing was working for me. When I came back up I came up with this in about 15 minutes. And now I do believe it's my favourite of the 10! Sometimes it just comes together quickly.


Colours for this are Rich Razzleberry, Not Quite Navy, Crushed Curry and Kiwi Kiss. The image is stamped in black Stazon and coloured with a blender pen.

For this card, I was inspired by the colours (Taken with Teal and Sahara Sand) from the Holiday Lounge paper (which I used for this card). I also used the stamp from the hostess set "Christmas Punch". The background is the retired Polka Dot stamp using Sahara Sand ink. I love that background and will likely never get rid of it! I cut a snowflake cut using a Sizzix die and the Big Shot, then tied it to the card using silver elastic cord. I think this one is my second favourite ;)


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today! Later in the week I hope to have a few more of my camp samples up to share with you.

Have a great day!

Sending You Holiday Peace

Here's a sample of a card we will be making at my card camp this weekend. I've got 6 coming on Friday and 10 (2 classes) on Saturday. I always cut a few extra and make them up as the ladies are making cards. I figure if I'm cutting, I may as well do extra while I'm at it. And by now, most of the ladies have been to a few camps and know what they are doing so I can sneak in some personal stamping waiting for questions or someone needing a hand. I'm looking forward to it! I've really met some wonderful people through this hobby :) I've got a few spaces left Saturday night from 7-10 so if you're willing to come out to Brampton, let me know!


So this is the card. I used the set To You and Yours. I like this set a lot as the images are nice, sentiments are good/useful/ones I would actually use on a card, and it's kinda cheap! My kind of set. The dove image is stamped in Real Red on Whisper White and framed in Basic Black. A Read Red piece is pierced with the mat pack and piercer and adhered to the card base, and a strip of Basic Black has a red ribbon tied and it's adhered. The sentiment is stamped in red and punched with a black mat. The sentiment is on a dimensional. SU! only baby!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to look! Hope the rest of your day is great :)

The Featured Stamper today was Emily (Ink-E) at SCS. What a great gallery! And she's only 18 years old! Makes me feel old, that's for sure!

Anyways, I chose this card of hers to case.


I kept the layout the same but changed up the colours and stamps. I used Kraft paper for the base and to stamp the tree image from Mr. Twigster on using Chocolate Chip ink. I debated adding red glitter to the tree decorations, but skipped it to keep the country feel I was going for. A piece of Holiday Treasures DP is torn across the top and has a piece of Riding Hood Red ribbon tied around it before it was adhered. The tree image was added and then I added two buttons (attached with mini glue dots) from SU!'s Button Bouquet that I tied hemp cord through. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from SU!'s retired set Cricle of Friendship and punched it out with a 1" circle punch. It's adhered with a dimensional. To finish it off, I added a row of piercing using my mat pack and piercing tool.

I was going for a country feel with this like I said, but I'm getting a bit of a Charlie Brown Christmas vibe from it! LOL I think it's the tree all alone that's reminding me of the tree in that Christmas special.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today! It's a gorgeous sunny day here and I'm hoping to spend some time outside with my boys-all three of them! :)

Have a wonderful day!

Had a chance to do the Featured Stamper Challenge today at Splitcoast Stampers. The FS this week is lazylizard and I chose this card of hers to case.


I thought that the layout she used would work great with the new Felt Flurries coming out in the upcoming Holiday mini catalouge in October. These are the two smaller sizes of flakes. They are a lot bigger than I was expecting, which is a nice surprise! I used the Designer Paper called Frosty Day and paired it with Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White cardstock. I used Versamark with white embossing powder to highlight the holiday sentiment from the SU! hostess set Best Yet. The three snowflakes were attached with rhinestone brads from the Pretties kit. I used my cropodile to punch holes and it worked really well. That thing will punch holes in just about anything!

The entire Kiwi panel with the snowflakes is adhered using dimensionals. I wanted the flakes to be raised so they would have a shadow on the card front at the top and bottom. It also eliminated the bulk that would be happening trying to get the back of the brads to lay flat. Besides that, I just love dimensionals!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm taking it easy today after getting in late last night from our friend's 40th birthday (remember these? They were a big hit BTW). Had a great time, but I'm paying for it today!

Hope you have a chance to relax today :)

I decided to do a sketch that Beate posted on her blog this weekend. You can see the sketch here.

A box of goodies arrived from SU! this week and I decided to put Mr. Twigster together. I'm considering cards for my November card camp and think this might make the cut. I might change the ribbon up for the camp since the November one is a popular one. I don't think one roll will be enough.

I stamped Mr. Twigster in Stazon Brown (why, oh why did SU! stop carrying this!!!???) and coloured him in with my blender pen using Reding Hood Red for the scarf and Tangering Tango for the nose. The image is matted on Chcolate Chip cardstock. The card base of Kraft paper has a Riding Hood Red piece border scalloped punched and stamped in Riding Hood Red with the snowflake from the Season of Friendship stamp set from the SU! Holiday mini. A striped ribbon from the Alpine originals is tied around the card front and the main image adhered using dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope the rest of your day is great!

Another quick post! So much for the park as it's now raining:( I did let the boys have a bath instead and they seem to be getting along better-for now! lol

Peaceful Wishes was waiting for me in my mailbox this morning from a SCS trade I made and I couldn't resist the urge to open it up and try it out!

I decided to use the mojo45 sketch by Julee from Verve. Check it out here. I don't know if it's going to be one of the "mojo-est", but the sketch was sure fun to work with! I did change it to a 6" square card since I couldn't fit the sentiment in otherwise.

I am loving those Hero Arts Pearls! The sentiment is embossed in white EP on Always Artichoke paper. Ruby Red and pearlized cream are the other two colours. Ribbon from SU!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek! Leave a comment too! I'd love to get to know you better :)

Have a wonderful day!
