a very fast and simple card!
A creative stamping journey in my card making adventures!
This weeks challenge: “Chipboard challenge” – use chipboard on a card or project. Well the new smooch spritz makes covering chipboard easy peasy!
We made a version of this card at my friend Bridget’s workshop this weekend. we tried the technique Poppin’ Pastels! Every time I bring out my chalks I wonder why I don’t use them more!
So here’s how its done: Stamp the medallion image in versamark ink. the using your sponge daubers apply the chalk in a circular motion to add the color to the image. it should pop right away!
my chalk colors are chocolate chip & rose red.
I used the Smooch spritz in log cabin to color my chipboard letters. then I smooched spritzed the whole card in Vanilla Shimmer to give it a whole lot more sparkle. you can see it in the 1st picture.
I lightly sponged the kraft cord button in soft suede and distressed and sponged the edges, So Pretty in real life!!!
I think this is a close to “shabby” as I’ll ever be….have you seen some of the very cool shabby chic cards at the Shabby Tea Room?? Come and play!

Paper Soft suede, rose red, Naturals white cardstock

Over Thanksgiving we spent time with family here near Jacksonville, FLA. We went on a 5 day cruise (also with family) and to Atlantis….YES I did all the water slides and the leap of faith. It was AWESOME.
Here is a shot of me (taken by my daughter) racing my son down one of the slides at Atlantis, Yes he won.
tomorrow- back to reality! Its been 2 weeks wonderful weeks. Today I am at my Mom’s here in Florida. My Dad is having surgery today so we are taking care of the dogs and visiting him later this afternoon. I hope to make some of my Christmas cards today. (Yup…I packed a whole suitcase of stamping stuff) Tomorrow you will see my cookie exchange invites I made before I left for the cruise.

This is made with the center of the Chipboard flower from the Club card posted yesterday. I colored this small flower with a real red marker and then adhere the button with a small glue dot. this is then attached to a Die Cut Bloom (from the Occasions Mini– extended until June 30th) The leaves are made with old olive scraps and the paper crimper.
GRID TECHNIQUE: the whisper white panel is scored on a diagonal in both directions 1″ apart. I scored 1/4″ border around the edges. What a great technique!

Accessories: chipboard, real red marker, button, striped ribbon, die cut blooms, scor-pal (you can use any scoring tool for this), paper crimper for the leaves.
These projects were submitted to Stampin’ Up for selection of the Convention Display Stampers. Yup I was rejected. Oh well, you never know unless you try.
I submitted a 12×12 (Little lady), a 6×6 (Pumpkin Patch) and 3 cards. (the other 2 cards were versions of some already posted) These pages- I LOVE them. I am not a big scrapper so for me these were a big accomplishment. I am so glad I took pictures of them so I can re-create them and put them into my slowly evolving album. In hindsight- my page themes were pretty basic and obvious- not really out of the box or different. By next year I will have some more experience and will try again. I hope these make it to the display wall at Convention or Stampin’ Successs! Let me know if you “spot” them anywhere.
This was the birthday card I made for my Dad. His birthday is New Year’s Eve, but we celebrate it on New Year’s Day. I think I did OK with making it masculine and I love the chipboard star. Its cover with night of navy craft ink. I punched a hole with the crop-a-dile and tied the cranberry ribbon on. This is part of my new year’s resolution: to use chipboard ( I have tons of it!)
Recipe:
Stamps: Its your birthday
Ink: night of navy craft ink, old olive
Paper: night of navy, old olive, so saffron and unknown stripe paper
Other: crop-a-dile, scrap ribbon, marvy mega circle punch and chipboard.
