Tasty Trucks - You're the Sweetest!!

After creating the card below, I decided to change the 

background of this card to an embossed background as well.

I just LOVE the dimension it gave the finished card!

Dimensions: 

Basic Gray CS - 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2), 3 1/4 x 4, 2 1/2 x 4, 1 3/4 x 4

Bermuda Bay CS - 4 x 5 1/4

Shimmery White CS - 2 1/4 x 4, 2 1/2 x 3, 1 x 3

Daffodil Delight CS - 1 1/2 x 4

I think I am in LOVE with this little food truck!!  Isn't it just the cutest??  Although it isn't available quite yet.... thought I would go ahead and share anyways!!  BUT guess what??!!  It is a FREE stamp set with a qualifying purchase, starting on January 3rd, when the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs are released!!

You all know how I love my sketch's!  Well, I found this one on Pinterest.  I THOUGHT it would be SUPER SIMPLE to put together since the dimensions are already on the card.  BUT I was a bit confused as to what papers the measurements actually belonged to!!  Then again, I am VERY easily confused!  SO I am including my dimensions, to hopefully make it easier for you all to follow!

Basic Gray is your card base.  Bermuda Bay is the background paper.  In the center of the card, you are going to layer the Basic Gray, Shimmery White, Basic Gray, and Daffodil Delight.  After coloring in my cute little truck on the Shimmery White CS, I popped it up on the Basic Gray CS for dimension and added the smaller piece of Shimmery White to the bottom of the Basic Gray Cs.  

Did you know that you can use the Shimmery White CS to water color on?  This was my first try at it and I really liked the way it turned out!!  Which reminds me.... the water color pencils I used to color the truck in, will be available to order on January 3rd as well!!  WOO HOO!!!

Three Wise Owls

Three Wise Owls

SO I don't think I could EVER get tired of playing with these little owls!  When I was a Stampin' Up! Demo 2 years ago, I purchased the Owl Builder Punch and had a BLAST playing with it!!  After going back to CTMH last year, it just sat in a bin and never saw the light of day.  Then in the spring, I went through all of my crafting supplies that I wasn't using and sold most at a craft garage sale, including the Owl Builder Punch.  Little did I know then, that I would be joining SU! again!  lol  When I joined SU! again in October of this year, I knew I NEEDED to buy another Owl Builder punch!!  

ANYHOO.....  I know Christmas is just around the corner, so I am trying to use up the Warmth and Cheer DSP stack, so I can start playing with the NEW papers that are coming in the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs!  YAY for new and shiny!!  LOL  

Because I wanted my owls to be festive, to go along with the papers I was using, I pulled out my Snow Place stamps and the Snow Friends Framelits Dies to add the little Santa hat, ear muffs and sentiment.  TOO STINKING CUTE!!!  

Card Dimensions: 

Crumb Cake CS - 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2), scraps for owls

Black CS - 2 1/4 x 4, 3/4 x 3 3/8 (banner), scraps for owls

Garden Green CS - 2 1/8 x 4

Whisper White CS - 2 x 4, 5/8 x 3 1/4 (banner), scraps for owls

Warmth & Cheer DSP - 4 x 5 1/4, scraps for owls

Since switching back to SU!, I have not been edging my papers with ink like I used to do.  BUT I felt like the owls needed some kind of dimension, so I inked around each of the owl parts plus the papers on the card itself.

Cheers to Mixed Drinks!

Cheers to Mixed Drinks!!

SO for some reason, I was WIDE AWAKE at 2am this morning!  UGH!!  There was NO way I was going to fall back to sleep, so I made some coffee, place an SU! order and got to playing with the Mixed Drinks stamp set I bought a month ago!!  LOL  

As I was looking at all the YUMMY drink images, I was trying to figure out what the heck to do with them.  THAT'S when it came to me....  this would make a PERFECT random stamped background!  WOO HOO!!  I got busy stamping all the glasses and filled them in with Pear Pizzazz, Watermelon Wonder and Peekaboo Peach.  After that, I stamped out the orange slice, the cherry and finally the lime.  PERFECT!!

Dimensions: 

Whisper White CS - 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2), 3 3/4 x 5, 2 1/8 x 3/4 (banner), 2 3/8 Circle, scraps to stamp glasses on.
