Kindred & colors.

CCMC396

Hello my dear readers. I am entering a  very busy week and my posts may be far in between. But, it does not mean I have forgotten you, it just means that my free time is not going to suffice so I can have time to play.


Miriam Castanho-Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, ccmc, anniversary card, regals collection dsp, first sight, big shot, oval collection framelits, fancy fan tief, large scallop edgelits, extra large oval punch, decorative label punch, su

However, I did find just a bit of time to prepare a card for the CCMC 396. The color selection is beautiful but not exactly easy for me to combine. The background is from the Regals DSP stack. To go with that I used the Fancy Fans TIEF on the Hello Honey layer. The oval is stamped with the First Sight stamp set and so is the sentiment. It was a while since I last layered the sentiment using the Decorative Label Punch, and this was a perfect chance. I love the looks of it. I added a bit of ribbon just for a final and delicate touch.

Thank you for visiting with me today. I hope to see you again soon. Be well

Miriam

Salud!



Well, we have arrived at the end of our first Virtual School week, and I am happy to say that so far things are going as planned. My younger has been doing it for two weeks, but I started earlier to get a hang of the schedule, and he is only kindergarten. My older is 5th grade now, and this was her first official week.  We are all figuring things out and moving as we learn.


I have spend some time in my craft area, but not as much as I wish. That's ok. I do what I can when possible. Today's card I made based on The Paper Players challenge 260, and chose to use ribbon, ovals, and sequins. Birthday Blossoms was used as the corner flowers and the sentiment is from a favorite retired set, Perfectly Penned, which I kept and have used many times over. I did use several retired items here: the DSP, the Large Scallop edge and its matching texture folder, and even the Blackberry Bliss Ribbon. Certainly I can say that I admire how this looks came together. Love it.

Thanks for your visit today. Be well

Miriam

Thank you Summer.

CCMC365

It is a wonderful thing to start the day with a fresh cup of coffee, then a walk to the garden and end up with a huge harvest of collard greens and delicious carrots. My children just cannot eat enough carrots and pulling them fresh from the ground is a sweet treat. Do you plant a garden? What are you growing this year?

I am managing to get some time at my craft area, but it is hard with such beautiful weather. We had friends over yesterday and the children were exhausted by the end of the day. Mission accomplished! I am playing along today with the CCMC 365 challenge and we have a nice sketch. For my card, I used the new Wild About Flowers as the main image and the sentiment from Sheltering Tree stamp set. The background is from the Painted Blooms DSP and I like the simplicity of it. The image was stamped and then cut using  the Oval Collections framelits and then the Blackberry Bliss was cut 2 sizes bigger to frame the image. I add a bit of a perfect bow and the Burlap ribbon to complete the look. And with the I completed the card and can say I am thankful for everything in my life and that includes you. Thank you.

Be well

KIck back and relax.

CCMC360

There is a time for everything, and a time to relax must be saved aside and enjoyed to the fullest. I am hardly ever at rest, but the times when I do rest I refuse to do anything. It is a very re-energizing exercise for me that it does not need to be done more than every other year or so.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, ccmc 360, retirement, moon lake stamp set, wild about flowers, dots for days, big shot, oval collection framelits, word window, modern label punch, su

I do not believe that anyone retires so they can do nothing. Precisely the contrary. People retire so they can do the things they were not able to while they were part of the work force. Perhaps a leisure day at a beautiful lake? For today's card, yes that will be perfect. The Moon Lake stamp set met the requirement with this beautiful image. Create with Connie and Marie challenge 360 is a color challenge and I think it went well with the image and sentiment, which is from the new Wild About Flowers stamp set. That background? Well, that is the new Dots for Days background stamp set, which I stamped using the Smoky Slate.

That's all for now. Get some rest, get some craft on, and remember to always take a moment to smell the flowers. Be well

The end of an era.


Indeed, today it marks the end of the Stampin' Up! MDS program. I am so sorry to see it go, but I can understand it and I will continue to use it as I have learned to love it. Today is also the end of my Subaru era. As you know I have suffered an accident over the Memorial Day weekend and my car was deemed totaled. It was a wonderful car and I felt very bad to see it end that way. There was still a lot of life in that car. Sigh.

But, let's us mark the new month with reasons to celebrate, shall we? The new catalog will roll in in just couple of days and I am excited about it. There are plenty to choose from and I am looking forward to get my hands on lots of new products. As for today's card I used stashed away DSP and the Big Day stamp set for sentiment. A simple and straight forward card inspired on the sketch from the Fusion Wedding Bells challenge.No wedding bells on today's card, but for the birthday to happen, a wedding is necessary or ideal.

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!

Ok, I was kidding...

Well, I am not sure if Mother Nature felt better, or simply got all too mad at me. We had a extremely rainy day yesterday, with torrential day for good part of the day. After a calm afternoon, we got an active evening with tornado warnings and all. Very active for a cool temperature.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, sc535, retirement, etcetera dsp, sheltering tree stamp set, big shot, apothecary accents framelit, oval collection framelits, su

The day was so gloomy that the children did school in the basement rather than our regular school room which is our sun room. I was able to do some clean up in my craft area, creating space for supplies ordered from the FREE shipping and also getting ready for the new catalog coming in May. Then, I had time to craft a bit too. I made this card with a retirement in mind. Think about it, retiring, having time for all sorts of things, including riding your bike to the library or ice cream shop, or both! Sheltering Tree stamp set was perfect for a relaxed life style. The DSP used is the now retired Etcetera,  but I love the colors of it. The sketch is from the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch challenge 535 and for the "park" background I used the Apothecary Accent Framelit. Now, weather permitting, I may go for a ride soon.

Tip:
While I normally teach for people to stamp first cut last, when using the Photopolymer stamps I do not mind stamping last because you can perfectly well see where the image is going to be stamped.

Does that ring a bell?

I certainly get a wonderful feeling each and every time I get commissioned to do a work. I get to know the recipients of my work, even without ever meeting them. It is rather gratifying to hear stories and it is the best source of inspiration for my work.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stampin up, demonstrator, handbell, let your hair down, big shot, oval collection framelits, brushed gold card stock, thank you, su

Today's card is a commissioned card. The recipient is an elderly lady that has served in the Handbell choir of a local church and whom will soon retire. I wanted to keep the card simple, but I also want to keep it to the musical theme. The background paper is from the retired Modern Medley DSP and was perfect for this card. The sentiment is from the Let your Hair Down hostess stamp set. The handbell itself was easily done using the Oval Framelit Collections. I was not able to pass on a bow, so a perfect one was put in place and easily done with My Bow Maker
I wish that lovely lady a wonderful day when they give her the card and I sure hope that she enjoys the card as much as I enjoyed making it.

What inspires you? Do you like making personalized cards?

What is that flying up there?



Well, if that is not Santa Claus and his Reindeer. What? I know it is a bit too soon for that, but I simply could not resist the new and cute Holiday Home stamp set.

Miriam Castanho Bollinger, #mstampinwithyou, stmapin up, demonstrator, fms 155, holiday home stamp set, oval collection framelits, scalloped tag topper punch, filigree frame tief, su

The sketch I borrowed from the Freshly Made Sketch challenge 155 and I decided on a new twist for it. Now, I am the kind of person that want to try tools in as many way as possible. Today it was time for another way of using the Scalloped Tag Topper combined with the Oval Framelit, which is on the Weekly Deals this week. If you like this card, please do come back on Saturday to see the tutorial I have prepared for you. I am positive you will enjoy it.

The Serenity of the seas - Serene Silhouettes


 DSC#092-Beach-House-Linens

This week has gone by too fast. I am still at my daughter violin summer institute and we are having a wonderful time. It is of extreme emotion to see all the children dedicating so much time and effort to play the instrument. I applaud each one of them for their effort.
I am not playing at my craft corner this week, however, I was able to play before I left and made this card for today's Dostamper Stars challenge 092. The beach theme had me and I love the serenity of the colors and just thinking of the sounds of the oceans bring peace to me!



The Serene Silhouettes stamp set could not go wrong with such a serenity theme. I think this card must be dedicated to all the parents that I saw this week at the institute, and to all the faculty members that are so welcoming and helpful in teaching the children and in teaching us the parents to be the best tool our children can possibly have. To all of you parents and teachers out there, this one is for you!


Tips and Tricks:
  • The DSP was cut a 1/8" smaller all around than the Pool Party Layer. I like having just a bit of layer showing as it accentuates the front layer.
  • The Apothecary piece was also embossed to give an extra texture to the card.
  • The bow, of course, was made using my very own Bow Maker.
