We shall continue


The birthday cards season that is. I am on a frenzy and I made several cards, which will not be showcased all in my blog, but I may upload the pictures  my gallery.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, sssc, birthday card, modern medley dsp, perfectly penned, su

For today's card I used the SSSC 289 as a base sketch and pulled out all retired materials for the card. The paper is the ever so lovely Modern Medley DSP, the sentiment is from Perfectly Penned and I even add a bit of trim in Pistachio Pudding, a very lovely color, I must say. I cut both parts in angles, but I did not want the music part to be angled, so I made it straight, and then the center and top pieces angled up. I like to have the sentiment centered in the card, and when the sentiment is of a good size, it makes all better. A clear and happy message indeed.

Thank you for visiting today and please do come back again. Be well

Sunny get well.

07-23 PPA 261

Why sunny? Well, the weather has been sunny and beautiful, and I do feel much better on days that the sun is shining bright.

This week I did not spend much time on my craft area. Lots of things going on and my husband is on a business trip, so my days are sort of running together and with the beautiful days we are spending plenty time outdoors. But I could not longer resist and made few cards, including this one for Pals Paper Arts challenge 261.  The background is the retired Modern Medley DSP and I stamped the Flowering Flourishes directly on it. The flowers are from the Flower Shop and Crazy About you, while the sentiment is from the lovely Sassy Salutation, which was cut with the Label Bracket punch. I even cut an extra one in Crushed Curry to make a layer and continue with the color selection.
Now, the Flower Shop flower - top one - was stamped, punched, and then sponged for a bit more color. The Crazy About You flower  was punched with the 1-3/4" Scallop punch and I traced the lines using the Basic Black Marker. I love the touch it adds.

Thank you for visiting today. I look forward to have you visit again. Be well

Summer birthday.

http://www.createwithconnieandmary.com/.a/6a01310fc1b623970c01bb0845c0fd970d-pi

The nice weather sometimes brings the storms and over the weekend several areas around the Midwest were affected by severe weather and tornadoes. I hope everywhere in the path of the storm were spared from harm. I was setting up at the Farmer's market when the storm brew and came down hard for one hour. But then, it cleared up and things proceeded as normal.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, ccmc, sc, birthday card, modern medley, regals collection dsp, sweet li'l things dsp, birthday blossoms stamp set, big shot, adorning accents, pansy punch, su

Anyway, despite the misbehaved weather, I had to prepare some cards, and decided on a birthday theme using the CCMC 364 and Splitcoast Stampers SC 549 as my inspiration. The Sweet Lil' Things DSP is showcased here as the top paper, then I used Modern Medley and Regals Collection DSP stack. Sentiment and the flower are both from the new Birthday Blossoms stamp set. I add a button at the center of the flower just for a bit of a pop. Now, the layers were cut individually taking care to make the lower edge so I was able to layer them in this fashion. I did not use full layer for each of them, instead I cut a piece that fit the open area and cut the scallop edge. Otherwise the card can became really top heavy with so many full layers.

Thank you for visiting today and please do come back soon. Be well

Amore.



I told you I was on a roll with Love themed card. Today is yet again another one that I can see been given to a Bride on her shower or even wedding day.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, sssc, bridal card, wedding card, modern medley, heat embossing, hearts collection, big shot, su

Do you agree? I love the sketch from the SSSC 272 and I will make other cards using the same sketch. Few variations of course. Making cards is like cooking for me. Lots of variations each time, except when baking. This card takes the sentiment from Seasonally Scattered and it was heat embossed in Silver. The paper is from the Modern Medley DSP long retired, but much loved, no pun intended. The hearts replace the banner from the original sketch as I thought it more suitable. As for the ribbon, is a Pink Pirouette, that I still have a good amount of it. Got love those retired products that always deliver!

Love you!

CCMC357

I am glad to say that the rain took a break around here. Saturday was a rather rainy day and we stayed in for most of the day. The rain helped me to get a bit crafting done along with some other house chores. There is never of shortage of those.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, ccmc, wedding card, modern medley, sheer perfection designer vellum, and many more stamp set, hearts border punch, big shot, hearts collection, su

I worked on few cards using already retired DSP, and I always get a tremendous satisfaction from using retired products that I had stashed for a while. Today's card, inspired on the Create with Connie and Mary challenge 357 is one of those. I still have some Modern Medley DSP in my stash and I use sparingly as I love this paper. Then there is the Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum, which was one of the Sale-A-Bration items. I love this vellum. I can see this card going for a bridal shower, wedding or even an anniversary card. The sentiment is from And Many More stamp set; with so many sentiments to choose from this stamp set is a must. Hope you enjoyed visiting today. I enjoyed having you over and look forward to your next visit. Be well

Tip: To have a hollow cut out, position both framelits at the same time for one single cut. If you have a magnetic platform they will hold themselves in place, otherwise use a post-it note to secure the framelits, ensuring a straight and perfect cut.

A Musical Medley

130


I am not sure if the week is going by too fast, or if I am completely unable to keep track of it all. Sometimes it is nice to look at my calendar and see blank spaces. This week, that is not the case.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, dsc, modern medley, flowering flourishes, big shot, su


Because of that I was not able to play as much as I like. However, some events this week were truly worth it. On Tuesday night, me and my daughter went to see Mr. Ithzak Perlman play with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. What an evening that was. To say he is a virtuoso is the understatement of the year. He is genius, marvelous, fantastic, inspiring, and the greatest of our time. Of course I got y own share of inspiration. as I prepared a card for the Dostamper Stars challenge 130, I went back to my retired stash of Modern Medley and found just the right piece of paper I need for this project. The look is simple yet elegant. Flowering Flourishes as a partial background allows for the colors to be kept to a minimal. The Banners framelits set the tempo for this piece, and in all this is my masterpiece for today.

The tulips are coming!



And we are beyond happy to see them bloom again. It is beautiful seeing flashes of colors popping up all over the gardens: yellows, purples, reds, oranges, and whites. I love them all.


Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, rs160, blessed easter, big shot, oval collection framelits, modern medley, all occasions card, su

Spring is so beautiful. I take such a refreshed appreciation to the flowers, the buds on the trees, the singing of the birds, and the warm weather. Of course, I have to honor the fresh flowers somehow. I used the Retrosketch Challenge 160 as my canvas and I employed the retired Blessed Easter stamp to honor my tulips. since we are retiring the winter, I honored that too and used almost all retired products. Viva Spring!

Birds and Flowers... Please Spring.

PPA245


We got hit, yet again, by another cold front. Man, this is the time for those front turn their back on us.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demosntrator, ppa245, all occasions card, flowering flourishes, itty bitty accents punch, scallop circle punch, modern medley, su

Spring had an early showing around here, but then, all of the sudden took leave on us again and the cold front took over. Honestly, we all have had enough of this cold weather. So, I continue to craft and put my spring thoughts in my cards. Birds and flowers are just couple things that I am craving to see. I borrowed the birds from the retired Modern Medley DSP and the flowers are both from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and from Flourishes Flowering stamp set. The sketch is from the Pals Paper Players challenge 245 and is simple in itself allowing for a clean card. The simplicity of this card is such that I did look at it for a long time and I can almost feel the ocean breeze, smell the scent of the sea, and have the warmth embrace me whole. A woman can dream!

Got a wedding? - A Whole week event!


 

If you do have an upcoming wedding and have no idea where to start for a card, well, fret no more. This week I will work on wedding cards. I will try with challenges, something old, something new, and something blue. To kick off I picked up the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 232.

SSSC 232, Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, sssc, wedding card, chalk talk, label love, apothecary accents framelit, artisan label punch, banner framelit, heart collection framelit, modern medley, quatrefancy specialty dsp, su

The combination of both Modern Medley and Quatrefancy Specialty DSP gives texture and visual interest to the card. I love it!

Tips and Tricks:
  • The Very Vanilla piece was stamped and then die cut using the Apothecary Accents framelits. I like how the shape turned out!
  • The Basic Black tail was cut from a scrap piece using the Banner Framelit.
