New cards and a contest

First the contest!! Prism is having an awesome contest. The details are here on the Prism blog. What a great way to get more of that luscious Prism cardstock. ;) There were some great entries last year. You may have seen some of them. Not only were they featured on the National Card Making day website but also one of them ended up in the Prism catalog and the another, designed by Jeanne Streiff, was featured in a recent Prism ad.

Now, a couple new cards.

This first one is from CPS #63. I used the scor-pal to create the folds. This was SO easy. Simple score, fold and decorate. Patterned papers are from SEI. Cardstock from Prism. Felt flowers from creative Impressions.




The second card uses the Large Fairy from Cornish Heritage Farms and was masked and stamped with the weave backgrounder. Patterned papers are form Daisy Ds. colored with Copic markers.

Playing catch up..or maybe just playing in Ketchup..

With me you just never really know... ;)

After a nice bit of family time I am finally back and back in the swing of things. Lots of fun things going on around here.

Things have been pretty busy with Prism, lately. We added a new designer to our design team. Emily has some great designs and I just love her fun, fresh style. Be sure to drop by and congratulate her and check out her work.

I have a few Hanna Stamps cards that I can share with those who want to see them. The first card is my CPS card for the week. It features the gardening set that was released last night from Hanna Stamps. There were actually four sets released last night. This one, fun in the Sun, SPF 50 and the Patriotic set. (Ah, summer!! I am so ready for summer).

Cardstock: Prism Papers (Classic Blue, Classic Orange, Baby Blue Dark)

Oh, speaking of CPS, you won't want to miss the next 2 weeks. We have an awesome sponsor. Scor-pal! I am so excited about all the things this tool can do! Be sure and check out their website for some great ideas. (And be watching here and CPS, a little birdy tells me you might have a chance to snag on of your own)

This card is another really quick one with another Riley image from Hanna Stamps.

Happy Easter!!! I hope your day has been filled with blessings.

Prism Color References Part 1

Some of my stamping friends have asked about how Prism colors compare with their favorite Stampin' up colors . They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I am really bad at typing anyway...so here you can see for yourself ;). Each image contains a SU color and similar Prism color. Of course this matching and scanning has proven to be a long process so this is only a start. I have a lot more matches ready, just have to get them scanned. I also want to compare them to some non-Prismatics that Prism carries to see if there are even closer comparisons. But I wanted to get started! So, here is the first of my findings with more to come shortly. ;) If you click on the image you can see them closer, including the names of each. (If you have trouble reading them just drop me a line and let em know which one and I can give you the color name you need!)

Got Prism??

A Peek into Yesterday does!! They now have all 113 Prismatics colors and Kraft!! (No affiliation, but I have shopped there and the service ROCKS!!)

Not sure where to start?? Here is one of my favorite combos: Intense, Frosted and Iced Cobalt with a little Intense Kiwi.

Cardstock from Prism
Patterned Paper from Scenic Route
Stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms (Kim Hughes-Supah Star)
Ink from Clearsnap
Bling border from Heidi Swapp

Here is another inspirational challenge. This time it's an ad. This can be used for either a card or a layout!! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Cardvarks Challenge and CHF stamps

I got my new CHF stamps today and couldn't wait to use them. So, I decided to join in on the Caardvarks Micro challenge....cardstock only (YAY!) I am normally not a fan of pink but really like some of the new pinks from Prism and decided to try something different. This one turned out to be an all occasion card that can be stamped with the greeting on the inside.


Supplies:
Prism cardstock (Crabapple light, medium and dark)
CHF stamps: Modern Lily, Sophisticated Swirl Backgrounder
The Embellishment Studio lace
Hero Arts pearls
Clearsnap fluid chalk ink (Orchid Pastel)
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Time to enable....

m

Got stamps?? CHF does!!

Maybe you'd be all shook up about the chance to ink it up with Elvis??


Still working on Easter designs?

Maybe you want something spiritual? Try these stamps from the newest CHF illustrator Aimee Nugent.

Or maybe you're looking for some chicks and bunnies...well, Asela to the rescue, they have that too!!

Since I don't have anything really new that I can post yet I thought I would post some of my stuff that was on display at CHA :) (excuse the miserable, unstaged photos) These were both for Prism.



For this one I pulled the colors from DDs hat and then I added the squares (Cuttlebug die) to go with her braces.

The background is Intense Mint (new for CHA). The squares are Classic Yellow Green (new), Classic Blue and Baby Blue Dark (also new). Then of course Black Prismatic. Square mini brads from Creative Impressions.


Again..bad photo and lots of shadows. Oh, and the photo looks weird...because I replaced it *after* I took the photo...so I photoshopped in the new one..LOL...Sorry. But I had to share because I LOVE all of the products on this one. I would say that this one is probably my favorite of them all. It uses all specialty papers from Prism. The base is Ice Gold metallic. The mat on the photo is Bronze Ore that was torn and rolled. The embossed swirls are on Mountain Rose metallic (cuttlebug embossing folder). The hearts are all metallics as well--Bronze Ore, azalea, Sky and Cappuccino (cuttlebug die) The lighter pink hearts are Blush Vellum. The light blue mat is light Turquoise Mulberry. The swirls are had drawn with a brown Sharpie. The glittery title is a rub on from Royal Brush.

A little glitz

Well, I decided it was time for some more glitz in my life...so I went shopping ;) Picked up some great rhinestone circles and hearts at Archivers. I love anything with circles and these went great with this weeks CPS sketch. The stamps are from Flourishes LLC...very fun to color with Copics ;)

Have you noticed more stitching lately? There is a reason for that. I stitched the edge with a darker green using my Janome sew mini. Talk about terrific, I love that thing! It sews like a big machine but is small and weighs less than 5 pounds! If you already have one or are thinking about getting one be sure and check out Gina K's blog for some great tutorials.

More Challenges

The CHF design team girls and I decided to do a few challenges amongst ourselves and play a bit while the others are out at CHA working hard. (that makes it sound better than out having fun while we are all at home, right? i always try to put a positive spin on things ;)).

The first challenge was from Julia. The challenge was to use the Prism Prismatics colors shown below.



I used all but the Intense Pink on mine:


Supplies:
Cardstock: Prism papers (colors above)

Dawn
Anne
Mary
Kristine

I would love to see what you can do with those too!

I got to pick tomorrows challenge. It is a sketch challenge (*shock*). The designs are due to be on the other blogs tomorrow around 7pm CST. I have a super busy day tomorrow so I'll go ahead and post it now in case anyone else wants to play.



I'll try and get my card added as soon as I get it done. Keep checking the blogs above for more cards to go with it ;) Maybe you can mix this sketch with yesterday's design challenge ;)

Also, I received a question about where to find Prism. My two favorite places that carry it are Cornish Heritage Farms (8.5x11) and A Peek Into Yesterday (12x12). If either one doesn't have what you are looking for be sure and check back next week after the CHA updates ;)

The joys of winter, a challenge...and a winner

Oh, yay! More snow and ice! (NOT!) At least everyone here finally seems to be past the flu and sickness (the reason for no posts lately). I am wishing right now that I was in California enjoying the warm weather and CHA. But, nope, I'm here freezing (and preordering new stuff!!).

Now for the cards :) Here is a super simple one that I did some time back. The papers are all from My Mind's Eye and the sticker is from Sandylion I believe.



It's almost February! That means Valentine's Day. DH doesn't like Valentines Day so it is pretty much non-existent in our house for me but I still like to make the cards and I buy chocolate for the kids ;) What about you? What do you like about Valentines Day? Here are a few of the cards I have made. The first one was my very first CPS card nearly a year ago!



Here is another one I made using the pig stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.
The sentiment was computer generated. That sparkle you see in bright pink is the great azalea metallic cardstock from Prism.

Art Inspiration

Ok, I admit it...I love art!! I have always been interested in art but lately I have gotten so much more involved in it. Not so much the actual making of art but the study of art. I love the colors, the symbolisms, the techniques...everything. I really enjoy finding out about the artist and what inspires them and looking at their work and finding out what they are trying to say. Another thing I enjoy is the inspiration it gives!! So, I thought this would be a great time to share some inspiration with you! Below is one example. This piece of art, by Alfred Gockel, is called Moved by the Music IV. I can see so many possibilites from this piece of art...colors, patterns, layout etc. this will make the perfect card! I will be working on mine and post back here when it is done. You do the same. Show me how this piece inspires you and leave me a link so I can check it out.

Latest news....

Well, I've been meaning to post some cards but things here have been so busy I still hadn't even gotten everything off my camera! I got tagged by Melanie a few days ago so I guess now is as good of a time as any to get it done ;)

first the tag:


So - here are the rules:
1-Link to your tagger (see above), and also post these rules on your blog. Done!

2-Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3-Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

4- Let them know they are TAGGED by leaving a comment on their blog.

So...7 facts...

1. I am left handed.
2. I was literally "dropped on my head" when I was a baby (explains a lot doesn't it??).
3. I hate celery.
4. I like to organize things, but I hate to clean.
5. I don't like peanut butter (but i do like Resse's cups and Reese's fast break bars)
6. I like to watch movies but don't really like television
7. I like to hunt and fish.

Ok, now I'm tagging: Jamie, Keri, Mandi, Debbie, Julie, Melissa and Kim.

I also saw today that the CardMaker's sketch book is available on the DRG wholesale site now! Check it out...that's me (jumping up and down with excitement).

Here are a couple cards I have made lately. The first one was for CPS and the second one was for a friend.


I totally love the new mylar flowers from Creative Impressions!! They are perfect with Prism's metallics.

Supplies:
Prism Metallics: Fit for a Queen, Flame, Gold Ore)
Swirl ribbon, mylar flowers, sparkle brad, deep purple mini brads all from Creative Impressions
Rub ons: Basic Grey, Making Memories
Cuttlebug swirl pattern embossing folder


I used the vases set from the Kim Hughes collection for the side pieces. I stamped them on to the green and cut them. Then I stamped them on the pattern paper and trimmed the center pieces. then I added the loops and ribbon from Creative Impressions.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Prism (Patriot blue, Iced Kiwi, Spring Willow Medium)
Stamps: Cornish Heritage Farms (Vases set, Large Daisy Detail)
Loops and ribbon: Creative Impressions
Rub on greeting and pattern paper: Sandylion

Well, I am off to do laundry and get a little stamping done!! More later :)

I'm not lost..I just took a detour!

Did you think I got lost??? I have to say I was beginning to wonder myself! It's been a busy time around here a few not so good things but overall good. But, things are almost "normal" now so i hope to be back almost daily ;)

Mid-terms were this week, I did really well on those and got my first paper back with a 99%. I am planning on taking Photography next semester so that one will be lots of fun , I think.

The weather is cooling off here. I am missing the freedom of summer already but am looking forward to change. I am one of those strange people who actually *like* change. I love to rearrange things, repaint thing, redo and renew. Plus, there is always something exciting on the way if you like change :)

I got a great surprise last week! After 2 1/2 years of working with CardMaker magazine I finally made the cover!! It was even better because of several reasons. The first reason is because it uses some of the AWESOME metallics from Prism (which we are featuring at CPS this week!) and Cosmo Cricket which I just adore! But also this one has special meaning for another reason..the stamp on the front. This stamp was given to me by one of my best friends. She is one of those friends that even though not really into crafts always supports me and gets excited for me when something good happens. I think that is one of the reasons I love her so much. She has such a caring heart and is always looking for ways to bless other people and not looking for something in return. So this was special to me because even though it's not her "thing", she gets to be a part of it too :)



Ok, so it's almost fall and I'm looking forward to my favorite things about winter tee hee. I LOVE snowmen and snowflakes...not so much *real* ones but I love to decorate with them. My house becomes a winter wonderland between late November and about the end of February and I am always on the look out for more to add. So I thought since I was in the mood for those I'd share a couple snowy cards :) These both use Prism Metallics (Sky, Bronze) and Papers from Carolee's Creations. The first one has a little clear pouch with flakes of "snow" from Magic Scraps. The second one uses the Basic Grey notch and die tool, $1 stamp from Michaels and the snowflake brad from Creative Impressions.




and since it's almost Fall here are some fall colors for you :) This one is made all from Prism (Suede Brown Dark, Papaya Puree Dark, Suede Brown Light, Herbal Garden Medium, Viola). The brick is a backgrounder stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms and the Twill is from Creative Impressions.




Well, it's starting to rain here....which means I'll be booted of here very soon. More later!

Need stamps??

I think we all need stamps, don't we??

Cornish Heritage Farms just released some great ones today. Check out these new designs from their new Kim Hughes Collection:
