Some Tuesday Pun Fun

Ok so I am sorry that the picture is crooked. It looked MUCH better on my camera.

This set is made with the Pun Fun stamp set. I was in a streak where I seemed to be using more earthy colors with Chocolate Chip being a main color, well not this card. I drew my colors from the Designers Series Paper.

Here is the list of supplies for the card:

Stamp Set: Pun Fun

Ink: Basic Black, Apricot Appeal, Tempting Turquoise and Only Orange.

Paper: Apricot Appeal, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White.

Accessories: Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon, Three Flower Punch, Rhinestone Brad from the Pretties Kit and non SU! Nestabilities.

More Pun Fun this Wednesday

So I am in love with the square cards. This card was made because I have not used the cat image out of the Pun Fun stamp set and decided it was time.

The base is 4.25 x 4.25 in Chocolate Chip. I followed this up Whisper White and then a piece of Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the cat in Chocolate Chip Craft ink and then clear embossed it. To color it in I used Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Chip Classic Ink and my Aqua Painter. I also water colored the sky with Soft Sky and made some grass for the kitty to play on with Old Olive and the Aqua Painter.

To finish it off I grabbed a scrap of brown and matted the stamped image. I also grabbed a scrap of Old Olive and put a scalloped edge along it with my corner rounder.

I added Chocolate Taffeta ribbon and then stamped right below it with Chocolate Chip. A card would not be a card right now with out some paper piercing. I pierced in the scallops and along the edge of the Chocolate Chip that mats the cat.

Thanks for looking and have a good rest of the week.

Some Pun Fun for Sunday

Sorry it took me longer to post than expected. Some things came up over the past few days, the main one being a cold. Yes, I had some days off to hang out with Andrew and Jacob, yet ended up with a cold. I am feeling better now. Unfortunately on Thursday I found out that a really good friend of mine has Thyroid cancer. I made this card for her hoping it will bring a smile to her face. It is hard knowing she having to suffer this at such a yong age (32).

The card base is 4.25 x 4.25 in Basic Gray.

The image is stamped on Watercolor Paper in Staz On. I then colored it in with Classic Inks in Soft Sky, Wild Wassabi, Basic Gray, Pretty in Pink and Yo Yo Yellow using the Aqua Painter. I then matted it on a piece of Whisper White.

The bottom half pink sheet is from the level one hostess Prints Pack. I faux stitched along the top of the pink paper with my paper piercer and the white gel pen.

I had this gray taffeta ribbon that I ordered by mistake a few months ago. It was calling my name to be used on this card. I tied in the flower slide from the Silver kit in the Ocassions Mini Catalog.

To finish the card off I used my corner rounder and scalloped a scrap of whipser white. The words come from Curvy Verses.

Tuesday - Some Pun Fun

Two posts from me today and maybe another one on the way. I have a child here that has been crying for the past two hours at the top of his lungs. I cannot get him settled down and I need to do something to distract me from it. I have called his parents and left messages, but so far no luck. Please wish me luck so that I make it the rest of the day without having a breakdown!!

Anyhow....here is a card that I made a few weeks ago. It is from the Pun Fun set. This was a set that made it on my first order from the current catalog. I love the images and the words that go with them. Another two in one set for me. Out of all the images I fell in love with the rocket first. Maybe because I have boys and there are way to many flower sets that scream out "girl".


I did not make this for any particular occassion, I was just playing around with new things. The background paper is where I started. I pulled this thinking I would use the new Old Olive Poly Twill Ribon too, but I could not figure out where to put it once I had everything laid out.

I will not bore you with any more details, here is the recipe for the card:

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Basic Black and Whisper White.
Inks: Black Staz On, Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
Accessories: Stampin' Sponge (to add depth to the stars), Small Star Punch, Black Brads, Aqua Painter and Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!!!

Card Box

Sorry guys I thought I hit the post button yesterday on this!!



When I finished my paper on Sunday for Cultural Anthropology I needed some down time in my craft room. I spent about an hour cleaning up from club on Friday and then I wanted to play. I decided to give Just Celebrate a break and pulled back out Pun Fun. I wanted to make "something" for a lady at Andrew's school for all that she has done for the kids and teachers over the year. Here is what I came up with.



As some of you know I was asked to stamp almost 80 cards for the teachers and staff of Frieldstone for Christmas. I was actually given a fair amount of time too (10 whole days). I have had a lot of positive feedback on the cards. I wanted to show off my card making skills again so I made this box that has 18 - 3x3 cards and envelopes in it. It only took me a couple of hours to cut, stamp, color and assemble so it was a quick and easy project.







Here is the recipe for the box and card



Stamp Sets: Pun Fun and a retired alphabet that I cannot think of at the moment.

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White.

Inks: Balck Staz On, Black Craft Ink (for the chipboard and letters), Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Classic Ink.

Accessories: Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper, Aqua Painter, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crafter Tools Kit, Black Brads and a non SU! chipboard for the "C" (I was out of SU! "C"'s or I would have used that one instead).

Pun Fun from January

This is another card from my January club. I have to say that I am really into these sets that have the cute images and the words to go with, basically two sets in one. A tip for those of you who have not been to an event of mine in awhile, I have mounted the words from this set on the edge of thge block and the image on the regular "bottom" side. This way I can stamp the image without the words and vice versa.

This set was on my first catalog purchase. I love the rocket ship in the set (I will share a sample of that later), but this time I used the cute hippo. My club members have said that they wanted more "birthday" cards so I gave them birthday cards this month.

The base of this card is Soft Sky with a strip of Soft Sky Designer Series Paper. I layered this with Basic Black and Real Red. I stamped the image on Whisper White and adhered that to the Real Red.

The image is stamped in Black Staz On and colored with the Aqua Painter and Soft Sky Classic Ink. For the balloon and the bow we used the Stampin' Write Markers in Real Red and So Saffron.

I had to used the new striped Grosgrain Ribbon (hense the Real Red cardstock). The words are stamped in black Staz On also. To finish off the card I pulled out my handy dandy tool kit and pierced some hole along the bottom right.

Thanks for looking.
