Happiness Shared semi cased from The Stampin Up Idea Book

it's Monday whow where did the weekend go??

I am working on a really neat idea this week and I sure hope you will enjoy it!

so I decided to look at cards in the Stampin Up Idea book

and case it

then turn it into a

Carole'Anne Card

so are you ready?

 
so I took this card

it's on page 97 of the main idea book

and worked with the happiness shared stamp set

 
I changed up the colours a bit

 
then I stamped the little butterfly just like the one in the book

this stamp is called

Every Moment

 
now for the greeting

just all thought here

I always lay everything out before I stamp

visualize he he

 
now to create some flowers from the stamp set

Happiness Shared

I used the colour Marine Mist crayons to colour them

and then added some extra colour with my stampin' write markers

 
see

 
I cut out my flowers and then tried a few different ribbons

and a button

 
now for some spritzer action

I think this is a fergotten tool

it's on page 195 of the Stampin Up Idea book

I think it works beautifully to fill in blank area without sponging

 
my greeting and you can see the sprintzer background here in this photo

 
it's done my version of the card in the

Stampin Up Idea Book

what do you think?

 
the little button with satin ribbon

it's early espresso colour

take a look at this fabulous challenge I love the colours but some reason my thinking cap took a while to fit on my head correctly he he

 
the colour challenge is Cherry Cobbler

Certainly Celery

and chocolate chip

at first I was going to use Just Beleive

and then I changed my mind

no really I did lol

 
then I thought hum?

maybe I could use the new letter press with my new morning cup stamp set

well guess what?

 
hum?

 
yhukky

okay back to the drawing board

guess how much time I have used here?

I started at 2:50am

at this point I looked a the clock and it was 4:35pm!

 
okay so I decided to take out the stamp set called

Happiness Shared

and a BRAND NEW thought!

 
with only 1 min left I finished water colouring on my watercolour card stock

yhap I know it's a 10 min card colour challenge

oh my goodness

now to add some card stock

 
 
I love adding a bow to my cards!

I am almost done

it's at 7 min over at this point!

 

it's almost done a few more little details and I will have this card completed

 
I coloured a few pearls

 
voila here is my card!

 
the center of my flower upclose

 
the little chocolate chip pearls

 
and well there we have it

as you can tell it took way way longer then 10 min

maybe my sis did better!

Happiness Shared New Stamp Set Stampin Up

Stampin Up New Rubber - HAPPINESS SHARED!

I was so excited to get up at 2:45am this morning to get time finally to play in my craft room

he he I should say my Clean Craft room LOL :-)

so I took out some new rubber - would you beleive that I have had no chance to play with all the goodies I received - I KNOW crazy!

but I did this morning - mind you I DID NOT SUCCEED - maybe I am out of practice LOL

okay so the theme for my swaps for August is Cracked Glass and Christmas

so I tried my hand at Cracked Glass

it's making me CRACK lol

 
the new stamp I played with is called Happiness Shared

you see it's also one of my very very close friends birthday on the 2 nd of August (you didnt' think I would forget did you Tammy he he )

anyways I won't be giving this card to her cause I didn't like it in the end!

all right so I stamped with Staz On

took out some watercolour crayons (looking forward to the new colours coming soon)

and stamp pads

after colouring I still liked it

even like it better

now after this is when I really messed up

perhaps I could go this far for Tammy's card

and run with it from here -

to do Cracked Glass you need to cover the entire area with Versa Mark

I covered the area with Glassy Glaze embossing powder and did several layers

Cracked it

and I really do not like it

it won't be my card for swaps and it won't be Tammy's card either he he

but I am going to finish it

I did lot's of layers in hope to make up for the error of the flower LOL
 
Daffdil and Cherry cobbler my fav. right now

so I am trying really hard to finish this card!

I decided to use more new stuff

ouh yes the Antique BRADS

LOVE THEM

k well if nothing else

I love the brads LOL

it's not the best card I have ever done

sorry my blogging friends

hey it's a learning experience right?

tomorrow will be our 10 min challenge

let me rock that out he he

wishing you all a super GREAT day
