Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop

Welcome to another Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop we are hopping in a circle so continue hopping until you return to your starting point, you will find plenty of inspiration along the way. Please leave a comment and let me know that you stopped by.

You may have hopped to my blog from my friend Marsha's blog, Marsha and I have been part of a couple different blog hops and I enjoy seeing her take on a project.

For the favorite past project part of our blog hop we are CASEing a hop members creation from last years Occasions/Sale-a-bration projects. I am CASEing Stefanie Pletscher I chose this card from last year.
Here is my CASE.

Stamps: Big Day (Sale-a-bration)
Paper: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral CS & Birthday Bash Specialty DSP
Ink: VesaMark, Metallic Gold Encore & Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pads, Burmuda Bay and Calypso Coral Blendabilities
Misc: Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Chalk Talk Framelits & Diamensionals

I think one of my favorite stamps is From the Herd.

Stamp: From the Herd
Paper: Whisper White, Wild Wasabi & Marina Mist CS
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink & Blendabilities
Misc: Lucky Stars Embossing Folder & On Film Framelit

I made two cards for our hop using the same stamp- A favorite Anything goes.

Stamps: Hey, Valentine
Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler & Night of Navy
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Bronze, Natural, Ivory, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight Blendabilities, Cherry Cobbler & Night of Navy Marker
Misc:Big Shot, Word Bubble Framelits, Glue Dots & Dimensionals

With the word bubble, after I cut it out but before I took the Framelit off the paper I used a Project Life Pen to trace around the inside of the Framelit. I  stamped and colored parts of a second image, cut it out and used Dimensionals to pop parts of the image up. For his hat I used a Dimensional in the center and a Glue Dot on each side of it so that it curves.

But- Hey, Valentine isn't just for Valentines!

Stamps: Hey, Valentine & Label Love

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy & Crushed Curry

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Bronze, Blush, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight Blendabilities

Tag It

It has been a busy couple of weeks(see end of post for another baby picture)

• The card base is Whisper White, Layered wirh Island Indigo CS.
• I ran the Melon Mambo CS through the Big Shot in the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, adding it to the card base.
• I stamped the image from Tag It colorong the stamp with the following markers: Gumball Green, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, Real Red, Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Basic Gray.  Huffed on stamp then stamp onto Whisper White CS.
• I ran the stamped image through the Big Shot cutting with Chalk Talk Framelit. I added Dimensionals to the back of the image and add to the card base.

Something about that little lizard makes me smile every time I make a card with it.

Swallowtail

Here is the second card I made with the Emboss Resist Technique.

• The card is Whisper White CS I stamped the Swallowtail in Versamark on the front of the card and Heat Embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder.
• I used a Sponge Dauber and Pistachio Ink to bring out the butterflies details.
• On a scrap of Whisper White CS I stamped the sentiment from Blooming With Kindness and then ran it through the Bid Shot cutting it out with Chalk Talk Framelit(I trimmed the top and bottom off with the paper trimmer so that it was framed evenly).
• I popped the sentiment up with Dimensionals then added a Old Olive Candy Dot above the sentiment.

Another fast and easy card!

Remembering Your Birthday

Back to making birthday cards and playing with Washi Tape.

• The card base is Whisper White CS I cut 3/4" off the bottom of the front,
• I used the Calypso Coral Washi Tape to make the border at the bottom I tore piece approx. 2" long and folded the so that there was about 1/4" of the sticky side showing. Starting at one side I taped the Washi Tape overlapping the bt about a third each time.
• I wrapped the stripped Washi Tape around the card base covering the edges of the Coral tape. I made the bow by folding the tape in half and then making a loop with it pinching it in the middle and wrapping more tape around it. I folded another piece in half and flagged both end of it, than layered the loop on top of it.
• From scraps of Calypso Coral CS and Crisp Cantaloupe CS I punched hexagons than added them to the card base.
• On a scrap of Whisper White CS I stamped the sentiment from Remembering Your Birthday. I inked the stamp in Crisp Cantaloupe ink coloring the word celebrate with the Calypso Coral Marker.
• I cut the sentiment out with the Chalk Talk Framelit, popped it up with Dimensionals and added two Calypso Coral Candy Dots.

I had fun with the Washi Tape and have another birthday card to add to my rack.

Tag It

I am running low on birthday card and I loved the lizard ion this stamp.

• The card base is Whisper White CS layered with Pistachio Pudding CS then Melon Mambo that I ran through the Big Shot with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder.
• I used markers to color the stamp and then stamped it onto Whisper White CS I used Chalk Talk Framelits to cut the image out, I also cut a piece of Midnight Muse CS out with the same framelit.
• I cut the Midnight Muse piece in half then added it to the Whisper White image with Dimensionals. I then added the piece to the card.

Now I just need to get making some more.
