Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge

Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another Jacksonbelle challenge. This entire month we have sketches! I love this sketch!! I actually flipped it vertical. Everyone is welcome to play along. As usual if you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see if anything strikes your fancy. You can use the keyword JBE058.

That lovely bird image is from Inkadinkado, Birds Galore. I stamped the bird part with purple and the leaves with green chalk ink. I love using chalk ink on clear stamps, because you can see what you are doing and the ink doesn't dry! The amazing crocheted flower is hand made and the pearls are Basic Grey Bling it. The pattern paper is Sprout from Memory Box. See that embossing detail at the bottom? I bought some of the Cuttlebug border folders and never really used them. I kinda like how this turned out.

Be sure to check out the other Design Team's cards, lots of inspiration to be found!!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge

Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another Jacksonbelle challenge. This entire month we have sketches! This one ended up being a bit harder than I thought. Everyone is welcome to play along. As usual if you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see if anything strikes your fancy. You can use the keyword JBE057.

My card is a bit different -not sure how I like this one. I have been seeing lots of cards around lately using really cool trim, so I thought I would give it a try. The trim is the Prima Lace and the pattern paper is Sprout from Memory Box. (Linds is out of stock on the paper right now, but shoot her an email if you want her to order some more). I think the soft lavendar colors look great with the silver trim. I went for it with the silver charm embellishments. I guess after all the masculine Father's Day cards I have been making, I was going thru withdrawls! LOL! The sentiment is from Unity's Birthday Chic kit.

Jacksonbelle Tuesday

Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another Jacksonbelle challenge. This entire month we have sketches! Woohoo! I just love me some sketch challenges -LOL! Everyone is welcome to play along -as usual if you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see if anything strikes your fancy. You can use the keyword JBE056.

I kept the card simple today, minimal layers -I am liking this lately. In fact, it's kinda tough for me to do all the layers I used to do! Go figure? Anyway, I used my FAV piece of Pink Paislee from the Office Lingo line. I just LOVE this paper, so fresh and cheerful. The sentiment is from Imaginisce, part of their Snag 'em line. The amazing felt flowers are Zva Creative and the ribbons are from PTI in Hibiscus Burst grosgrain and Bitty Dot satin.

Be sure to check out the other Design Team's cards, lots of inspiration to be found!!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday -Polka dots!

Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another Jacksonbelle challenge. This week it's all about POLKA DOTS. Yeah baby, I can do that!! You are all welcome to play along -as usual if you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see if anything strikes your fancy. You can use the keyword JBE055 if you upload to SCS or PCP.

For my card, I used some of the yummy Pink Paislee designer paper with polka dots!! The papers I have are from the Sweet Cakes line -I sooo love all the orange tones. You know, in looking at my card last week, I used the SAME paper! I guess it shows I really do love it. LOL! Some of the Pink Paislee is out of stock right now, but send Lindsey an email if you want her to order more, she is happy to do it.

The sketch I used is this week's Mojo Monday week 88. Boy, Julee sure can design sketches!! The awesome hot air balloon image is from the newly released Up Up and Away and the sentiment is from Dare to be You. I outlined the clouds with a light blue copic marker and the striped ribbon is May Arts and a perfect match to Bashful Blue. Just about everything on this card is on dimensionals. I love the happy feel to this card! It's almost like the balloon and clouds are flying away.

I also wanted to mention that this Mojo Monday sketch is doubling for a sketch challenge in the much talked about Stampin' Out Alzheimer's (SOA) event. A small donation (see link in the Mojo Monday blog sidebar) gets you access to this week-long virtual stamping event, which has all sorts of challenges and chances to win some fabulous prizes. All proceeds from this event will go directly to the Alzheimer's Association. Our own Verve Diva, Jen Tapler, founded this event. Her dad has been rapidly progressing through the stages of Alzheimer's. So if you have a few dollars to spare, please particpate in this fundraiser. Not only can you win some fabulous prizes, but you can make a DIFFERENCE!

Be sure to stop by the other DT blogs for their polka dotted goodness.

Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge -it's summer time

Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another Jacksonbelle challenge. This week we were tasked to make a summer themed card. You are all welcome to play along -as usual if you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see if anything strikes your fancy. You can use the keyword JBE054.

Hummm, this was kinda tough, but as I was thumbing thru my DP stash I found this super fun piece of Pink Paislee! It has ice cream on it -that is summer, right? It's from their Sweet Cakes line. That yummy cupcake is from Inkadinkado's Birthday Cupcakes set. I colored it with copics and put some Distressed Faded Jeans stickles on it. I used 3 orange primas and each have a dew drop in the center.
Here is a close up pic of the cupcake goodness. Be sure to check out the other DT blogs for their summer time goodness.

Tuesday with crochet flowers

Hi everyone! Its Tuesday and time for another Jacksonbelle challenge. This week is a product focus. The DT are all using these adorable little crocheted flowers made by Melody (ladyquilter on SCS) which are on pre-sale right now at the JBelle Store! Be sure to check them out AND Lindsey has stickles for 15% off and all the Memory Box items are 30% off!!

On to the card, this card is also for this week's SCS CAS12 challenge -a sketch! I went with my new PTI cardstock -Hibiscus Burst, Rasberry Fizz (YUMMMMMY), and Vintage Cream to match my vanilla flower. I layered the flower with a Prima and Dew Drop. The other 5 are from SU punches and have alternating colored Dew Drops. The sentiment is from a cheapo clear stamp set. You know, the kind that you HAVE to use pigment ink in order to get a clear image? Fortunately (for reasons I can't fathom), I had this hot pink pigment ink! LOL!

This card is for a wonderful stamper friend, hopefully it gets to her on time!!

Here is a close up pic of the flower. It measures 1 1/2" across. Be sure to check out the other DT blogs for their crocheted goodness. We even have a special someone playing along this week: Michele Boyer (great name Michele!) her blog is Paper Cuts.

Crocheted flowers -a JBelle presale

Happy Friday everyone. Check out these adorable hand crocheted flowers! They are made by the lovely Melody (Lacyquilter on SCS). Jacksonbelle Embellishments is having a presale on them. They come 8 flowers to a pack and measure just over 1" in dimension. Each package includes either 1 vanilla or white flower and cost $7.99.

In case you aren't familiar with a presale, it is when you pay for the item up front. Then the vendor (Jbelle) does a bulk buy and sends out the items on a specific date. I only explain this, because I had no idea what this was until my friend, Heidi (Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts), did one for Copic markers!! LOL!

My flower is a very rich blue (almost Brocade Blue) and I paired it with some really fun DP from MME Everyday Tango! The flower is from Prima's green Sprites. The 1/8" blue organdy ribbon is from Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts.

Here is a close up of the flower. Be sure to check out JBelle's blog for more samples of these cute flowers.

Card deets:
Stamps - none
Paper - white, MME Everyday Tango
Accessories - Prima, large dark blue bling, organdy ribbon, crocheted flower

The challenge card that wasn't!

Today's Jacksonbelle Embellishment Tuesday challenge was Anything But... to make a card that is anything but a rectangle.

Well, as you can see my card isn't square like it was supposed to be! Maybe if you open your eyes really wide while looking at it, it may appear slightly stretched... no? Unfortunately, my card the result of being distracted by the kiddos THREE times while making it. Let's see, first we had a fight in the garage over the tricycles resulting in a split lip. Then we had a bathroom disaster (I'll spare you the details), I don't even remember what the last thing was, I just remember being very worn out and confused at the end of it all!

But, alas a card was made! My sister asked me to make a motorcycle birthday card for her friend. I used a motorcycle image I bought off EBay a long time ago. All the DP is by Fancy Pants, About a Boy, and I finally used a transparency! It is also from Fancy Pants and is called Fresh and Funky and is on sale right now for $1.30!!

I have always been SKERD to use these little buggars, but thought I would give it a try. They are not that bad. I lined up what I wanted to show over the motorcycle (in this case the little stars) and carefully trimmed (I used my regular paper cutter). I attached it with glue dots and then covered them up with the Dew Drops, from the Men's Bottle. I used a tiny piece from the scraps for the tag too! The sentiment is by Repeat Impressions and the fabulous burlap string is from Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts. I followed Jen's Sketch for You to Try for the layout.

We'd love to have you play along and if you do, be sure to use keyword JBE051 when you upload your card so we can find all your NON-rectangle cards in one place. Don't forget to check out the other DT blogs for their cards!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge

Hi everyone, today's Tuesday and that means it's time for another Jacksonbelle challenge! This week is a fun one!

We were challenged to a 1,2,3 recipe:
1 stamp
2 embellishments
3 layers.

Like always, you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see if anything strikes your fancy.

Since I could only have 1 stamp, I decided to make the focal image an embellishment and use the stamp for a sentiment. I had so much fun with this recipe I made TWO! This first one uses Wild Wasabi card base (that's 1), a layer of white which I ran the top thru the CB with Swiss Dots (that's 2), and the lower portion is a piece of Imaginisce DP from the Fairest of Them All line (that makes 3!!). The Prima flower portion is 1 and the ribbon makes 2 embellishments (OK, on this one I stretched it, cause the brad is technically separate from the flower!) and the 1 stamp is the HB sentiment from Repeat Impressions.

The second card uses a fancy schmancy flower from Prima from their Hybrid floral embellishments, Lindsey is currently out of stock of these, but if you are interested send her an email and she can order them for you!! I used the same layout as the first card. The DP is from Memory Box, Sprout line. The ribbons are 1 and the flower is 2 embellishments, and 1 stamp is the TY sentiment from Repeat Impressions.

We'd love to have you play along and if you do, be sure to use keyword JBE050 when you upload your card so we can find all the sketch cards in one place. Don't forget to check out the other DT blogs for their cards!

JBelle challenge -a sketch

Hi everyone! Today is Tuesday and that means another Jbelle challenge! This week's challenge is everyone's favorite, a sketch! Like always, you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see what strikes your fancy.

My card uses the super fun Vehicles felt from Queen and Co. This stuff comes in a yard long strip and you can use it as a border or cut out the pieces. It is self adhesive and warning -very sticky! Be sure you know where you are placing it cause you can't move it once it's down!! The super cute paper is October Afternoon from their Night Light line the Jack and Henry pieces. OA paper is double sided, so you can use both sides coordinate without thinking about it! I also used a Top Note die cut piece which I got thru SCS WishRAK (gotta love that group) and some hemp twine from my LSS.

We'd love to have you play along and if you do, be sure to use keyword JBE049 when you upload your card so we can find all the sketch cards in one place. Don't forget to check out the other DT blogs for their cards!

Jacksonbelle Embellishments Tuesday Challenge

Hi everyone! Today is Tuesday and that means another Jbelle challenge! This week's challenge is to make white on white card. What fun this one was! Like always, you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see what strikes your fancy. There is brand new Pink Paislee stuff in the house!!

Like the card I showed yesterday, I used my Mega Rectangle nesties to make this card shape (thanks for the inspiration Stacy and Denise!). Isn't that flower GORGEOUS?!? Woweee, when I saw Linds stock up on these I HAD to get my hands on some. They are from Prima from the Wildwood collection, Mushroom flowers. They are absolutely amazing and made from nature with wood, leaves, paper, and twigs. Anyway I paired it with some Burlap String and a sentiment from Crafty Secrets, Wildflowers set. The pearls are from Kaiser Crafts and are Latte.

We'd love to have you play along and if you do, be sure to use keyword JBE048 when you upload your card so we can find all the lovely Whiteness in one place. Don't forget to check out the other DT blogs for their white cards!

JBelle Tuesday challenge and CAS challenge

Hi everyone! Today is Tuesday and that means another Jbelle challenge! This week's challenge is to make a spring card. I know, a repeat... but hey, why not? We are all itchin' for some SPRINGTIME already! LOL!


Like always, you don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see what strikes your fancy. There is brand new Pink Paislee stuff in the house!!

My card uses the super cute Imaginisce For Peeps Sake Thank You stamp along with Pink Paislee DP. The paper is from the Enchanting line, Delightful page -such cute butterflies!! Here is my opinion on Pink Paislee paper, you all know my first love is Basic Grey, but having this paper is the perfect compliment to BG. It is a bit whimsical and lots of fun colors and patterns. BG tends to be a bit more elegant. I am super thrilled Linds started carrying it!!

Back to the card, nothing says spring like GREEN GALORE! LOL! I just love this green color and was happy to see this DP was a perfect match. The 3 Dew Drops at the bottom are from the Lily Pad bottle. See all that 1/8" organdy ribbon? What a dream! Small and pliable, easy to work with and packs quite a punch! It's from Heidi's store and is very reasonably priced!

Here is a pic of the inside. Decorating the insides is all the rage right now, and I love doing it too. But, I like to keep them really simple like a strip or two of coordinating DP. I like how it leaves plenty of room to write and uses up DP scraps!

If you play along, be sure to use keyword JBE047 when you upload your card so we can find all the lovely Springness in one place. Don't forget to check out the other DT blogs for their spring cards!

Like last week, I also have CAS challenge card to share. This week's SCS CAS challenge was to follow a sketch -my fav. I LOVE making CAS cards and this is fast becoming my favorite weekly challenge. I needed some Thank you cards and I about fell out of my chair at the cuteness of this Imaginisce Thank you stamp! So, I hope you all don't get sick of seeing several more. LOL!


This card also uses some of the Pink Paislee paper from Jacksonbelle's store! This paper is from the Office Lingo line. Specifically, the Lunch Hour and Fast Track papers. Again, I colored the flower and leaves with Copics and put an orange gem in the center. The buttons and 1/8" organdy ribbon are both from Heidi's store, Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts. There are 2 scored lines at the bottom of the card, it's a bit hard to see in the pic.

Here is a close up of the details. You can see the scored lines better here.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow cause it's MY turn to post on the Verve Project Parade route!!

I also have another card to share. This card is for this week's SCS CAS challenge which was to use punches on your card. I LOVE making CAS cards using punches!! Makes it simple, quick and easy -just punch, stamp a sentiment and you are good to go!

I was tempted to bust out my butterfly punches, but since I just got SUs 5 Petal flower punch, I knew I HAD to use it. I also used SUs scallop border and boho blossom punches. All the paper on the card is from Basic Grey Bittersweet as is the jumbo glazed brad. The sentiment is from Verve's Asian Flair. I painted the flowers with Angel Wings Shimmerz.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge

Hi everyone! Today is Tuesday, and that means another Jbelle challenge! This week's challenge is to CASE my fellow JBelle Rockstar Kisa! WooHoo! A couple weeks ago you all were challenged to case Kim, this week it's Kisa's turn! AND be sure to check out the tutorial she wrote! It is up on the Jacksonbelle Blog.

Everyone is invited to play along. You don't need to have JBelle supplies to play, but if you don't have any, you can check out the store and see what strikes your fancy -Lindsey just put all her Shimmerz on sale 15% off now thru Friday + 6 NEW colors are in stock!!

To play you can go to Kisa's SCS gallery, find a card and CASE it -which means to use it as your inspiration and change a couple things to make it your own. Be sure to use the SCS keyword JBE044, so we can find all your creations.

I chose this card to case. I liked it so much I made 2!! I have been likin' the CAS lately, so this card grabbed me right away. I kept the same use of white with simple framing and piercing. I changed the colors, image and added a sentiment and piercing at the bottom.

My first card is made with Inkadinkado, Wedding set (which is back in stock now). My second card is made with the new Inkadinkado Morphic Birds set and the sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink's Birthday Basics. All the primas are painted with Angel Wings Shimmerz for that extra shine!!


Don't forget to check out the other DT blogs for their Kisa inspired cards!

Card Deets:
Stamps - Wedding, Morphic Birds
Paper - white, groovy guava and Prismpaper Blush Red Dark
