It’s a Black Fab Friday — FabFri32

Posted on November 29, 2013 by amyoneillblog

It may be Black Friday here in the U.S., but it’s also a Fab Friday. I much prefer participating in Fab Friday over Black Friday! You won’t find me out shopping today! We have a fun color challenge for you today, so if you decide to take a break from shopping, we hope you’ll play along with us.

I saw a card made by Dawn McVey that I really wanted to turn into a Stampin’ Up! card. I love her style, and cased this card of hers. I used the Wishing You stamp set, and a mix of dsp patterns.

You can check out what the rest of the design team made at the Fab Friday site. And I hope you’ll play along with us and post your card to the gallery.

Enjoy your Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Wishing You
Ink: Gumball Green, Real Red, Coastal Cabana
Paper: Whisper White, Brights and 2012-2014 In Color dsp pack (retired), Winter Frost dsp, Silver Glimmer Paper
Embellishments: Silver 1/8″ Ribbon, Scallop Dotted Ribbon Border punch

Same Sketch, Different Card

Posted on November 25, 2013 by amyoneillblog

This card uses the same sketch I used on yesterday’s card. With a different stamp set and different color combination it looks quite different though.

I covered the tag with washi tape, and used another roll on the card base. The other strip that looks like washi tape is actually a stamp from the Tape It set. I love that set because it lets you make faux washi tape in any color you like.

Enjoy your Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Tape It, Wishing You, Endless Wishes
Ink: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip
Embellishments: Season of Style Designer Washi Tape, Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine, Pearl Basic Jewels, Sequins (non-SU)

I Love Pink and Gold — Monday Montage #6

Posted on November 3, 2013 by amyoneillblog

We have another Monday Montage Blog Hop in store for you this evening! I hope you’ll follow along the blog hop trail and see what all of the designers have made.

I have made a new discovery — I love pink and gold together! I made a couple of Christmas cards using these two colors together and I threw Coastal Cabana into the mix too for a nice contrast color.

I love the look of gold embossing, and used that on both of the snowflakes. I also threw in some sequins.

Another discovery I made is that pink and gold do not photograph well together on my camera. Here’s a picture of my other card. Please forgive the terrible picture. It looks so much better in real life.

The pink that I used on both cards is Blushing Bride — I love that pink!

Well, you’re ready to hop on over to Breelin Renwick’s fantastic blog. If you’d rather work your way backwards (you, rebel!) you can do that too and hop on over to Wendy Weixler’s amazing blog. Either way, just work your way through the nine other blogs to see the treats they have in store for you.

Polka Dot Christmas Wishes

Posted on October 26, 2013 by amyoneillblog

I love polka dots. So it should be no surprise that I love the Season of Style dsp collection. There are a three great polka dots patterns in there.

This was an easy card to put together. I used the Early Espresso Stampin’ Emboss powder for the sentiment. I love that special touch.

I wanted to play along with the sketch challenge at the Deconstructed Sketch site:

Deconstructed Sketch 123

I pulled out the Wishing You set, which has the cutest stack of presents. The paper is from the Season of Style dsp pack. One more Christmas card to add to the stack.
