Easy Sock Monkey For Color Challenge #20

This is the very, very easy card I made for this weeks color challenge. I only had a few minutes to stamp so I really had to keep this simple. I love this color combination that Kristina picked out. If you'd like to participate click on the following link. http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/

All materials Stampin' Up: Stamps: Sock Monkey, So Many Sayings, Papers: Loves Me DSP (BTW I hoard this paper), Very Vanilla CS, Pink Piourette CS, Chocolate Chip CS; Inks: Chocolate Chip; Accessories: Certainly Celery Ribbon, Pop Dots.

Simple Flowers

Just a simple little card I made for a swap I attended at my former upline's house. It's been a long time since I used this stamp set and I wanted to make it look a little different. I curled the ends of the petal using a thin paintbrush. I punched holes through both sides of the card and looped the ribbon through. So you have to pull the bow to open the card. I went over the dots on the flowers with a white gel pen (hard to see in the picture).

All Materials Stampin Up: Stamps: Doodle This, Stem Sayings, Three For You; Papers: Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Soft Sky; Inks: Basic Black, Old Olive; Accessories: Halfback Pearls, White Gel Pen, Black Gingham Ribbon, Crop-A-Dile.

Little Pink Zebra

I've been envisioning this little zebra from the Zoofari set in pink. I finally got a chance to play! Super quick, fun card to make. My endless summer days of making cards will soon come to an end. I'll be teaching again pretty soon, my kids will be in school and their activities will begin again. My kiddos go back to school on the 25th of this month. I'm really bummed about it...I love having them at home. If I had more discipline I'd home school them. But, I'm afraid we'd be making cards all day and taking too many field trips! HA!

All materials Stampin' Up: Stamps: Zoofari, Warm Words; Papers: Spring Fling, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Whisper White; Inks: Timber Brown Staz On, Regal Rose; Accessories: Wide Grosgrain Ribbon in Certainly Celery, Scallop Edge Punch, Corner Rounder Punch.

I {HEART} The Bird

Here is a very simple quick card I made with THE bird. Okay, so I admit it...I only bought the Always set for the bird image, But eventually all the stamps in the set grew on me. But the bird is still my favorite!!! I'm kind of obsessed with him, I stamp him on just about everything I can get away with!!! I was very excited to find out that SU made him into a Decor Element. So he'll probably live on a few walls in my house. I can totally envision him perched on my chair rail in my dining room. So you probably get it right???? I love this bird! Can anybody relate?



All materials Stampin' Up: Stamps: Always, Warm Words' Papers: Pink Piourette CS, Bali Breeze DSP, Whisper White CS, Purely Pomegranate CS; Inks: Bashful Blue, Pretty In Pink, Purely Pomegranate; Accessories: Felt Fusion Flowers, Pretties Pearl, Button Bouquet

These colors really were a challenge for me. But I was happy with the outcome! I'll add it to my stash of cards to give to my pre-teen daughter. I know she'll think this color combo is extemely cool.

All material's Stampin' Up (unless otherwise noted): Stamps: Stitched Exotics, A Beautiful Thing; Papers: Rose Red Designer Prints, Bali Breeze DSP, Basic Black CS, Whisper White CS; Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black; Accessories: Black Brads, Green Ribbon (Hobby Lobby), Corner Ticket Punch, Pop Dots.

Two Windows

I knew I had to order this new Stampin' Up hostess set. It reminds me so much of my daughter when she was little. Her hair was usually bobbed and she always had a big bow in her hair. I colored the cat to look like her first pet.

All Materials Stampin' Up (unless otherwise noted): Stamps: Window Dressing, So Many Sayings; Papers: Whisper White CS, Bashful Designer Prints; Inks: Old Olive, Pixie Pink, Basic Black; Accessories: CTMH Flowers & Brads, SU Black Ginham Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch, Crop-A-Dile.

Convention Case

I cased this simple card from a convention picture I saw on someone's blog. I added the fluttering butterfly and a sentiment. The funny thing is that purple is my favorite color and I rarely use it in a card or scrapbook page.

All materials Stampin' Up; Stamps: Fabulous Flowers, Kind Thoughts, Happy Harmony; Paper: Whisper White CS, Old Olive CS; Ink: Pale Plum, Old Olive.
