Dance, Sing, Live - Viva la Verve!

Finally a chance to do a Viva la Verve challenge. The twist this year is inspiration and each month there are pictures of a different room to inspire each week. I just loved one for this week with a foyer done in mostly white with some black and a little hint of bright green. LOVE it, I say! So that's what I picked and here's my card:

If I do say so myself, I love how it turned out--pretty much like I'd planned it in my head and I love how girly it looks! I flipped the base card and I used an oval instead of a circle, because I wanted to use this sentiment, from Verve's Beautiful You set.

I'm using patterned paper from Black Market Paper Society's Ebony and Alabaster 6 x 6 pad. The small white panel is actually embossed with my Cuttlebug Textile folder but you can't really see it. Then, instead of ribbon, I added some black lace with clear jewels attached. Prima flowers and leaves add some interest and more of the green. The centers of the Primas are more designer thumb tacks--this time from Wal*Mart! You never know when and where you'll find something to use on a card, LOL! Huh, would ya look at that; nary a button in sight ;-)

Thanks for dropping in today! And, as always, thanks so much for the sweet comments--they always make my day!

Here we are at another Color Throwdown--#41. Today's colors were chosen by Danielle and she chose Certainly Celery, Riding Hood Red, and Baja Breeze. Great combination, don't you think?!

My base card is Whisper White with layers of Certainly Celery, Riding Hood Red, and Baja Breeze, all with corners punched with the Ticket Corner punch. I'm following the sketch for the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge with a Twist today. I just got this new Lime Rickey paper pad from Basic Grey and when I thumbed through the pad and saw this paper, I knew I had it! Love those cute little birdies! The three bottom panels are from this pad, matted with Riding Hood Red. After using so much pink and brown over the last few days I wanted to do something BRIGHT! And I gotta tell you, this paper is BRIGHT--but I like it! The focal image uses stamps from Verve's Birthday Surprise set and was stamped on Whisper White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. the bird was paper pieced and his wing stamped a second time, cut out, and popped up on a 3M foam square. The balloons were also paper pieced and the green one is propped up with a foam square, too. The sentiment is from the same set and stamped in the same way. Cut/embossed with a petite oval Nestabilities die, matted with Riding Hood Red cut/embossed with a scalloped die, and popped up on foam squares.

I'm trying to get caught up on some challenges that I enjoy doing before we get the next MFT Idol challenge, so here's another card today. This one is for Viva la Verve With a Twist #5 for April. The twist this time is to include Spring on the card. I think butterflies are pretty Spring-like so that's what I went with. It's also for the Stampin' B's Challenge #3 which is an inspiration challenge. I don't have any crane stamps so I went with the colors for inspiration and the whole flying thing with the butterfly :)

My base card is 5 1/4" square Whisper White with partial layers of Old Olive, Taken With Teal, and DP from the K & Co. K-ology 6 x 6 Addison paper pad. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the Old Olive layer and then tied a green grosgrain ribbon around all of that. Both images on the focal element are from Verve's Beautiful Kindness set, stamped in Old Olive and Taken With Teal. The butterfly was stamped twice and one cut out and popped up on a 3M foam square. The Whisper White layer was cut/embossed with a circle Nestabilities die, sponged lightly with Taken With Teal and layered on Taken With Teal and Old Olive. Some turquoise Hero Arts jewels finish off the sketch and add a little bling to the butterfly's body.

Thanks for dropping by!

Special Day

Well, it's back to work today after a weekend off and it's raining. It would be a wonderful day to stay home and spend the day stampin' in my Girl Cave, but I've gotta support this habit, LOL!

This card is for Viva la Verve With a Twist #4 for April. The twist was to make you own patterned paper. My base card is River Rock (retired SU! In Color) with a layer of Basic Black and then a partial layer of River Rock stamped with the background stamp from Verve's Artful Elegance set with Basic Black ink. Then I tied a ribbon around with some of My Favorite Things' black satin ribbon with a piece of River Rock double stitched ribbon tucked in the knot. The sentiment is from the Birthday Surprise set, stamped on River Rock with Basic Black ink, cut/embossed with a Nestabilities Labels One die, matted with more die cuts, and is up on 3M foam square. Black Primas with River Rock punched flower centers and antique brass brads finish off the sketch. I thought the right corners looked empty, so I added some black faceted jewels. I think it's kinda elegant--how about you?

Thanks for dropping by today!

Viva la...mustard?

OK, I have to be honest and say I really didn't like these colors together when I first saw the Viva la Verve With a Twist challenge for this week. BUT (heh, heh) obviously someone does. I take my cards in to work to show my co-workers. I'm sure they're totally tired of seeing them by now but they remain polite :) I even had someone who wanted to BUY this card! Goes to show beauty truly *is* in the eye of the beholder. Maybe it's not such a bad combination after all ;-)

My base card is Whisper White with layers of Baja Breeze and Muirfield DSP. The next element is Summer Sun with a punched border and Good Morning Sunshine DSP. The next element is More Mustard with DSP from the hostess Patterns Pack, with a gold satin 3/8" ribbon tied around in a bow. The "focal" element is More Mustard and Baja Breeze run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Then I attached two large embossed Prima flowers with fabric covered brads from K & Co. and popped it up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White with More Mustard and is from Verve's Wonderful Wishes set. It was then cut/embossed with a Spellbinders tag die and tied on with DMS embroidery floss that matches Baja Breeze. An aqua colored Dew Drop is at each corner.

Flowers of tomorrow...

This card is for the first Viva la Verve With a Twist challenge for April. The twist is to use only a sentiment on the card. Not a stretch for me--I love to do that!

My base card is Whisper White with layers of Wild Wasabi (retired SU! In Color), Regal Rose, and DP from the Porcelain 6 x 6 pad by Basic Grey. The next element is Wild Wasabi and Regal Rose run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The next element is Wild Wasabi with a scalloped border, Regal Rose, and more DP. A ribbon and bow of Wild Wasabi double stitched ribbon was tied around the card at this point. The sentiment uses a Verve Plain Jane stamp called Flowers of Tomorrow, stamped on Whisper White with Wild Wasabi and cut/embossed with a circle Nestabilities die. It's layered on Regal rose cut/embossed with another circle die, Wild Wasabi cut/embossed with a Labels Two die, and is up on 3M foam squares. Three flat back pearls accent the bottom left corner and tiny pearls accent the corners of the focal image.

Happy Easter

This card is for the fourth Viva la Verve challenge for March. The twist was to go CAS. Well, to the extent of using only one embellishment. Ugh! Definitely a challenge for me, LOL! I'm really behind with making Easter cards, so I'm taking this opportunity to build my stash.

My base card is Whisper White with layers of Rose Red and Raspberry Tart DSP. The circle element is another pattern of DSP cut/embossed with a large Circle Nestabilities die layered on Rose Red cut/embossed with large Scalloped Circle die. The focal image uses a stamp from Verve's new set called Miracles Blossom. The stem and leaves were stamped with Kiwi Kiss and the flower was stamped with Rose Red on Whisper White. I stamped the flower again on DSP, cut it out and paper pieced it. Punched out the corners with my Ticket Corner punch, layered it on Kiwi Kiss and Rose Red, on which I used my scalloped border punch, and popped it up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment is a Plain Jane and was stamped on Whisper White with Rose Red, layered with Kiwi Kiss and Rose Red, and is also up on foam squares. My ONLY embellishement is a raspberry colored Dew Drop in each corner.

Birthday Wishes

This card is for the next Viva la Verve March Challenge with a twist. The twist is to make it a birthday card. Too easy, LOL!

My base card is Very Vanilla with layers of Not Quite Navy and Kraft. The next layer is a combination of patterns from Bella Bleu DSP and Not Quite Navy, following the sketch. Also following the sketch, a taupe satin ribbon (very luxurious ribbon from My Favorite Things) is tied around in a bow. The focal image is from Verve's Birthday Surprise set and is stamped on Very Vanilla with Not Quite Navy ink. It was cut/embossed with a Labels One Nestabilities die. The mats should be self-explanatory, and it's popped up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment is from a new release from Verve called Circular Sayings, and fits on the Round Tab punch out perfectly. It was stamped on Very Vanilla with Not Quite Navy, has a Not Quite Navy "border" and is also up on foam squares.

Dance, Sing, Live, in Pink, Red, Green

Twisted title, huh? Twisted title for the "twist" of this week's Viva la Verve sketch with a twist challenge. The twist this week is to use pink, red, and green with the sketch.

My base card is Very Vanilla with layers of Old Olive, Ruby Red, and DP from the Cupcake 6 x 6 pad from Basic Grey. The focal image is the only other element on this card. I used a favorite stamp of mine from Beautiful You, stamped on DP with Ruby Red ink and layered on Pretty In Pink and Old Olive. I punched two slots, ran the ribbon through one, around the card, and through the other before tying the bow from green grosgrain and popping the entire element up on 3M foam squares. Three buttons were tied on with waxed linen thread, as was the accent button on the left. Pretty simple, but I got all the required colors in!

No small miracles

This card is for the first Viva la Verve challenge with a twist for March. The twist is to add buttons! Not a problem, LOL!

My base card is Sahara Sand with layers of Certainly Celery, Blue Bayou, and DP on two panels of the sketch from a DCWV pad called "The Green Stack" since it's from recycled paper. Cute designs! The center panels are Whisper White sponged with Blue Bayou. The focal image was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa using the medallion from Verve's Beautiful You set, colored with a combination of SU! and Copic markers and cut out. A Making Memories pewter brad is in the center and it's up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment, from the same set, was stamped with the same ink and is embellished with the required buttons.

Life is good!

This card is for Viva la Verve's last sketch challenge with a twist for February. The twist this time was to use acetate somewhere on the card. Well, I've never used acetate before, so this was a good way to ease myself in.

My base card is Very Vanilla with layers of Pacific Point and DP from Basic Gray's new Marrakech 6 x 6 pad. This paper is gorgeous and goes really well with SU!'s current In Colors Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango. The first element is Pacific Point and more DP. The next element is Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango with a Pacific Point striped ribbon tied around it in a bow. The focal image was stamped on Very Vanilla with a stamp from Verve's Artful Elegance set in Pacific point ink. It was cut out with a circle Nestabilities die and popped up on more Very Vanilla with 3M foam squares. Then it was matted with Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point which was also popped up on foam squares. The sentiment is also from the set and was stamped on acetate with Timber Brown StazOn ink. It was punched out with my small oval punch and layered with Very Vanilla and Pacific Point, also punched with oval punches. The next picture shows the shine of the acetate. A few turquoise Dew Drops add some accents and finish the card off.

The butterfly

This card is for week 3 of Viva la Verve's February sketch challenges with a twist. The twist this week is to make a monochromatic card. It also qualifies for Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday challenge: to use flowers on a card. NOT a problem for me, LOL!

My base card is Very Vanilla with layers of Close To Cocoa and DP from a My Mind's Eye 12 x 12 pad. The next element is Close To Cocoa with a layer of Very Vanilla with Tres Chic stamped in Close To Cocoa ink. The next layer is more of the same, only the Very Vanilla layer is embossed with my Perfectly Paisley Cuttlebug embossing folder and is up on 3M foam squares. The focal image is a sentiment from Verve's Wonderful You set stamped on Very Vanilla with Close To Cocoa. It's cut/embossed with a rectangle Nestabilities die and is layered on Close To Cocoa cut/embossed with a scalloped rectangle die. It's also up on foam squares and I added a tiny Liquid Pearls "pearl" to the center of the little butterfly. Two Prima flowers and a punched butterfly with pearl accents finish off the sketch. Two larger pearls accent the upper right corner.

Measuring life

This card is for the second Viva la Verve Sketch With a {Twist} for February. I'm really loving Amber's sketches--and the twist, LOL. This week's twist is NO design paper! Whoa!! So, I immediately thought of the background stamp from Verve's Artful Elegance set. It also is for Our Creative Corner's latest challenge: use your favorite embellishment for inspiration. OK. If I have to pick *one* embellishment, it would have to be ribbon! So I planned this card around some ribbon I'd had in my stash for a while.

My base card is Very Vanilla with layers of Chocolate Chip, Kraft, and Tempting Turquoise that was stamped with the background stamp and Tempting Turquoise ink. The next element is Chocolate Chip and Kraft, both layers cut/embossed with circle Nestabilities dies. The next element is more of all three colors, with the inspiration ribbon and is up on 3M foam squares. The focal element was stamped on Very Vanilla with Chocolate Chip and a stamp from Verve's Beautiful You set. I love this set. It has such great sentiments and is so versatile. It was cut/embossed with an oval die and matted with Chocolate Chip. Before I matted it, I ran a Tempting Turquoise marker around the edge to give it a little color. It's also up on foam squares. Dew Drops from the Cowboy collection accent the ribbon element, following the sketch.

Thanks for dopping by!

Fresh Cuts Inspiration

This card is for two challenges: the first Viva la Verve sketch with a twist for February and SCS Inspiration Challenge 165. The "twist" was to have any kind of embossing on the project. Easy, peasy. This is the first time for me for the Inspiration Challenge and I must say it was fun! Inspiration was to come from Elum Designs website. Elum specializes in designer paper products and specialty printing. Here's what I chose to be inspired by. Of course, it's Fresh Cuts!!!

My base card is Whisper White with a layer of Tangerine Tango. The next layer is Whisper White that was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder and then had it's corners rounded. The next element is a strip of Tangerine Tango. The focal image is stamped with the Fresh Cuts main image with Tangerine Tango on Whisper White and cut out with an oval Nestabilities die. It has a Whisper White layer and then a scalloped Tangerine Tango layer and is popped up on 3M foam squares. Some Bird of Paradise Dew Drops finish it off. This was simple and fun and got me doing something different.

Thanks for dropping in!

Flower of the Month--January

This card is for the last Viva la Verve January challenge. It's a sketch with a twist of flowers. I'm always ready to do flowers, and since I just got this retired SU! set called Flower of the Month, I was ready. I really love this set.

My base card is Very Vanilla with three layers of cardstock from a K & Co Cardstock Pad called K-ology Hannah, and I added a Dew Drop from the Primary Color bottle in each of the corners.The next element is also all from that cardstock pad and is up on 3M foam squares with a little paper piercing in each corner. The third element is two pieces of satin ribbon that match the card stock. The focal image is the flower for January--Carnation. It was stamped on Stamper's Select cardstock with Palette Hybrid Noir Black ink. I colored it with Copic markers (see picture below for the ones I used), sponged the edges with Creamy Caramel ink and cut/embosed it with a Lables One Nestabilities die. Then it was matted with card stock from the pad that was cut/embossed as well. The sentiment is from Verve's Wonderful Wishes set and was stamped on patterned cardstock with Basic Black, punched with the small oval punch and matted on more cardstock punched with the medium punch. Both the focal image and the sentiment are up on 3M foam squares.

I like the way this card turned out. Each month I'll use the stamp for that month for a birthday card. And I have another project in mind for this set, too.

Hearts of Gold

This card was made for the third January Viva la Verve challenge--with a twist of PINK. Yeah, it's almost late ;-) But it's a great sketch so I had to do it.

My base card is Whisper White, with a layer of gold metallic card stock, then a layer of DP from The Sweet Stack from DCWV. The next element is gold, then Ruby Red and is up on 3M foam squares. The focal element is first gold card stock on which I used a Martha Stewart heart border punch, then a layer of Pirouette Pink, then another layer of DP. Three hearts, both layers of which were punched with a different Martha Stewart heart punche in Ruby Red and gold were adhered with 3M foam squares. The sentiment was stamped with Ruby Red on Whisper White with a stamp from Papertrey Ink's Heart Prints set. It's also up on 3M foam squares. Three sizes of flat back gold beads accent in different places.
