Mojo Monday Sea Street Baby Girl Card

I'm back to the Sea Street stamp set. I now have another stamp set from the new Stampin' Up! catalog and it is a baby set, but I thought I would make another baby card with the Sea Street set since I made a boy baby card with it already.
Yesterday afternoon it rained so hard that rivers were flowing down the street. I thought I did live on Sea Street! Glad I was indoors creating this cute card.
I used the Mojo Monday sketch challenge (mojo347) for this card.

 

Here's the sketch:

I used these items:
Paper- Basic White c.s., Pink Pirouette c.s., Wisteria Wonder c.s.
Ink- Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride
Stamps Sets- Sea Street, Pennant Parade
other- Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder, Delicate Designs embossing folder, Large Scallop edgelit, Pink Pirouette taffeta ribbon, pearls, Nestabilities scallop circle dies

PPA205 Sea Street Baby Card

I'm going to post my Tuesday share late Monday night because I won't have time to post this in the morning.
This is the sketch challenge from Pals Paper Arts. I decided I wanted to do a monotone card but didn't want to do white, which led me to create this baby card. However, I think I might remake this card and make it a white on white with the Marina Mist accents.

This is the card:

  This is the Sketch:

Paper: Soft Sky card stock, Marina Mist card stock, Basic White card stock

Ink: Marina Mist

Stamp Sets: Sea Street, Itty Bitty Banners

Accessories: Large safety pin, Fancy Fans embossing folder, Bitty Banner Framelits, 2 1/2" circle punch, Scallop border punch, scallop Nestabilities

Mojo Monday 143 Sea Street Card

Happy Monday!
Mondays are happy because there is always a new Mojo Monday sketch challenge to work on!
Today I am reaching back a few years and visiting a previous Mojo Monday sketch, sketch #143. Sometimes I like to do that. Especially if I am crafting and creating on Sunday and just can't wait to do the next Mojo sketch!

I used the Sea Street stamp set again. I am wearing it out until I can get my hands on the other new stamp sets in the new catalog that goes live on the 1st of June. Can you tell that I can't wait? But Mr. Octopus is so cute that I haven't tired of him yet. I made 6 of these, all a little different. I just can't get enough birthday cards added to my stash for the kiddies. I am always running behind.

Thanks for coming by today!

Mojo Monday 345 Sea Street Birthday Card

I went a little bit crazy today. I wanted to do some Sea Street cards that weren't the standard colors, you know, the ones that are in the Designer Series Paper that goes with this stamp set. I really do love the colors of the DSP, but after awhile you want to see something different.

So, I started by making one card, then I wondered what it would look like in another color combination, and pretty soon I had made four cards the same, only with different colors.

First I used the color combination from Hand Stamped Sentiments. I think it turned out pretty cute. It would be great for my grand niece.

Then I tried the color combination from Pals Paper Arts. This is a much stronger combination and I think it would work well for one of my grand nephews.

Then I thought I would try the set with the color challenge from Sunday Stamps. It is a high contrast combination but I think I could find some young ladies that would love these. I say 'these' because I tried a couple of different combinations of the colors. Which one do you like?

I guess that is all for today. Thanks for checking it out!

Sea Street Postcard

I wanted to make a quick postcard to send out so I grabbed the Sea Street set that was still sitting on my desk and created this quick postcard.

I used Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, and Melon Mambo ink pads. I also used Marina Mist, Melon Mambo and Pool Party Stampin' Write markers to color the school of fish.

On the back side I used the Stampin' Up! postcard (now retired).

When I create postcards to send in the mail I spray an art fixative on the front and back to set the ink. Both the printer ink and the Classic Stampin' inks will run if they get wet and you never know what kind of weather the mail will be subject to.

Sometimes I use clear contact paper on the front and back of postcards after I have completed the stamping and writing of my message. That will make a postcard stronger and help it last a little longer.

Thanks for looking!

Sea Street Stampin' Up! Card

It is really overdue for me to post a new card! I have not been inspired to stamp for about a week. I did create at least 15 scrapbook pages. I finally pulled out all my Project Life supplies and some really old photos that I wanted to get into scrapbooks so that I can look at them once in awhile. I didn't do any stamping or embellishing, I hope to do that another time. I found, after I sorted them in the order that I wanted them in the book, it was not easy choosing the photo sleeve pages to put them in. I guess I need to get a few more page configurations.

I finally got a card made today. I really like this cute set from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. It's called Sea Street and reminds me of the graphics you might find on signs and buildings while strolling through a seaside town. I am going to be making a bunch of birthday cards and thank you cards with this set. I used a greeting from the Perfect Pennant set; the Sea Street set doesn't have any sentiments in it.

 

I used the colors that Hand Stamped Sentiments is currently challenging stampers to try. And I used the card technique that Technique Time Tuesday is featuring this month.
