SUO393 Rev Up The Fun

Happy Wednesday, all!  The SU Only challenge is a color one this week:

and I needed a birthday card for my great-nephew Sawyer.  I had an idea in mind and decided to incorporate these colors as well. All my images are retired SU, and I hope that's okay for the challenge!  I also used the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches  for my uber-CAS card:

So here we go:

I know the image looks black, but trust me, it is Night of Navy! I stamped designs from Gorgeous Grunge and Perfectly Wrapped in the corner in Crushed Curry, then stamped the Extreme Dirt Bike stamp in Navy.  I did add some speckles as well, stamped off.  Sentiment is from Rev Up The Fun:

I added a simple birthday sentiment on the inside.  And since the Little Red Wagon challenge this week is K for "Keep it Simple", I am adding it there as well!

Here's a picture of Sawyer and his brother, sister, mom and mom mom; they have a cookie-making day every Christmas at their mom mom's house:

That's a lot of cookies!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Motorcyle Birthday

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I made this card for my nephew's birthday...no challenge, just a fun, simple card for a young guy....I think they're the most challenging to make!  I used papers from last mini called Ready to Ride, and mixed up some new and old stamps for the sentiment:

The wrenches on the background paper have a gloss to them--very cool--and the motorcyle was simply fussy-cut from another piece of the DSP.  I diecut two banners from the Nested Essentials dies and layered them together; the motorcycle hides the seam.  I used sentiments from Biggest Wishes and the retired Endless Birthday Wishes along with some Metallic Studs; it all went on a Very Vanilla card base:

For the inside, I cut a couple of strips from the DSP that look like tire tracs and added a sentiment from the retired Rev Up the Fun:

Hope he likes it!  Thanks for popping in today!

A few pix from around the yard:

My friend Joan gave me these dahlias and I was thrilled to see how pretty they were:

And this bee was completely oblivious of my picture-taking indulgence; I just wish these tiger lilies lasted longer!  They're almost 6' tall!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

SSC308 Camper Birthday

Happy Tuesday, peeps! We have a friend who just purchased a little camper, and his birthday is coming up, so I thought it would be fun to use the Tree Lot dies along with the He's The Man DSP to create a special card for him:

I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps:

I diecut the camper from Basic White, Mint Macaron and Early Espresso cardstocks, even giving it a little acetate window and curtain!!

I pulled out the retired Rev Up The Fun for the tire tracks, and Circle Sayings provided the birthday sentiment.  I used the Countryside Corners dies to shape it, cutting the DSP panel a second time to make it smaller:

The retired Adventure Awaits seemed appropriate for the inside:

Thanks for stopping by today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

FMS580 The Next Adventure

Happy Thursday, peeps!  I have a fun masculine card today which makes great use of the fun Ready to Ride DSP!  I love letting the paper do most of the work! It uses the awesome sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

I already had a piece of Basic Black cardstock sitting on my desk, so I used that as my base; here we go:

I used some of the all-over DSP as well as the scrapbooking elements; the motorcycylist was trimmed down and I colored him in with a Crumb Cake blend to make him match the other elements a little better.  I also colored in some of the elements on the Very Vanilla DSP with a blender pen and some Pumpkin Pie ink to tie in with the colors in the map.  The sentiment, from the retired Hats Off, was also stamped in Pumpkin Pie and diecut with a Stylish Shapes banner die:

This sentiment, from the retired Rev Up the Fun seemed appropriate for the inside:

This will go in my stash of birthday cards for April!  Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!

TSOT592 Rev Up the Birthday

Happy Friday, everyone!  I have a fun interactive card for you today; my nephew's birthday is coming up and although he's almost 30, he is still a kid at heart, so I thought I would make a spinner card for him using some of the new Ready to Ride DSP featured in the mini.  I had to refresh my memory on how to make one (they're easy to find on the internet), although I usually use images a bit smaller, I still think he'll get a kick of out this one:

To begin, I used the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday:

The motorcycle was fussy-cut from one of the sheets of DSP, and another was used for the front; this particular pattern has a glossy finish...so fun for those tire tracks!  And this motorcycle is a trick one!  It can slide along the track, or spin around and do flips, LOL!

I used a base of Smoky Slate and a panel of Very Vanilla; the sentiment is from an old set called Rev Up the Fun, and I diecut it with a Stitched Rectangle die and added an adhesive stud for fun:

On the inside, I used sentiments from Best Family Ever and Hats Off...not sure why I didn't stamp it ALL in black, but oh well!

We're headed to his house tonight for pizza...a great way to celebrate a birthday!  Thanks for stopping by--enjoy your day and be blessed!

RR145 Tic Tac Toe A Big Thanks

 Happy Tuesday, peeps!  Time for a new Retro Rubber challenge, where we give our older stamps some attention!  This week we have a Tic-tac-toe grid for you!  I chose the right column of metallics, masculine, and embossing for my card today:

Each week at church we pray for people in our community; it might be another church, our government leaders, that kind of thing.  Last week we prayed for our police chiefs, and the police chief in my community happened to grow up right across from us and went to school with my brother.  He and his brothers (who were an ornery bunch, LOL!!!!) are also big motorcycle fans!  So I made this card to encourage him and his force and let him know we appreciate them and are praying for them:

I used a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches (which is over) but I still liked it and found that the  retired Urban Underground DSP was a perfect background for my heat-embossed motorcycle from Rev Up the Fun (2013):  

I even added some orange "flame" to the embossing as well as some silver Painty ink to the "chrome" parts!  The paper has some silver embossing on it as well, and I backed with with some silver foil!  The sentiment is from Perfectly Wrapped (2016) and it was diecut with the Stitched Rectangle die:

I mounted everything on a Whisper White card base that had been embossed with the retired Coastal Weave embossing folder!  I sure hope he liked it! And since the Just Add Ink  challenge is "Thank You", I am entering it there as well!

And now, what will you create with our fun grid?  LOTS of possibilities!  We hope you'll share yours with us at Retro Rubber; just make sure you use stamps that are at least a year old, and tell us the age!  Can't wait to see them!

I admire Dana; she is always trying to introduce some healthy recipes into their diet, but Cassidy gets in a rut sometimes and doesn't always want to try new things!  However, Dana made spaghetti squash "lasagne" a couple days ago and Cass actually liked it....she liked how the "spaghetti" came out of the squash, LOL!  She gave it a thumbs-up!  I think I might have to try this myself!  Thanks for popping by--enjoy your day and be blessed!

RRCB123 Anything Goes

Hey friends!  It's Tuesday and time for another Retro Rubber challenge, where we give our older stamps some love!  Today we have an "Anything Goes" challenge...we're leaving it up to your imagination, just make sure your stamps are at least a year old!

I needed a few more boy birthday cards for my church family, so I pulled out Rev up the Fun (2013) and inked it up to make my card today:

These older Basic Grey papers were perfect for my motorcyle image!  I stamped it in Pretty Peacock on Rustic White cardstock and diecut it with a stitched circle die.  I added some retired Candy Dots for fun:

The sentiment was stamped in Cajun Craze, and I added a little scrap of the DSP on the banner, then embellished with a dot too:

I even stamped some tire tracks on the vertical piece!  This card is 5" square, so I will have to check my yard sale stash of envelopes for one big enough!  

I hope you'll play along with our Anything Goes challenge this week!  Just be sure to tell us how old your stamps are!  See you there! And thanks for popping in today!

Cassidy started playing the drums last week!  I am glad they are at her house and not ours, LOL!  But I am happy she's interested in it!  (And just so you know, the item behind her is a doggie toy box, shaped like a bone....had to clarify what exactly that was, LOL!)

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

PP434 Rev Up the Fun

Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday, and welcome to another Paper Players challenge, where Joanne has a nice sketch for us!  Here we go:

I am always in need of masculine birthday cards, so I pulled out a retired set and went to work!  I did orient the sentiment panel to the other side to make it work better with the motorcycle!!

I used some older SU Brights DSP for my simple panels, stamped the sentiment and tire tracks,  then stamped the motorcycle in Pacific Point and colored it with some Old Olive Blends.  I fussy-cut it out and popped it up so it was doing a wheelie!!!:

There were a couple of other challenges that this fit as well:  the Clean and Simple Colours and Sketches challenge wanted Pacific Point, Old Olive and Sahara Sand:

and the Festive Friday challenge wants handmade and/or dots!  I think my card qualifies for both!

So what will you create with this sketch?!  I hope you will share it with us at the Paper Players this week!  Meanwhile, check out what the others created!

We are almost finished cleaning out my dad's tools....we went from this:

To a much smaller pile in the kitchen:

John, my brother and brother-in-law loaded stuff into the utility trailer:

And we have almost all the stuff out of the garage....besides all the tools and other stuff he "collected", he had about 100 fishing poles hanging from the rafters:

Not to mention bobbers, minnow buckets, lead weights, reels, lures, tackle boxes....the list goes on and on!  But at least we can walk through the house without stepping over tools! 

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
