Mission Completed


This sweet card is for a fun challenge that Jeanette came up with two years called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item three times in 2020 and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on.  In 2021, we each took turns sending an item to each other. Then in 2022 we did it again three times, each time with a different item each round!  This Will be Mission Impossible Possible!  Sadly, this will be the last round.  So, the challenge ends here.....................  We will call this one Mission Completed! 


For our final challenge, Jeanette sent something for us to use along with the following info: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker.  Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, involves the use of the items found in this package.  As in the past, you will be working alongside the same two team members. At this point, the Mission will be deemed Completed.  This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.  Good Day and Good Luck!  

Kelly Jeanette sent us a sweet suite from Ranger and Wendy Vecchi Called Country Flower.  It included a stamp set, a set of coordinating dies and a stencil--so cool! I used a portion of the stencil to ink the dots along the left side of the panel. I then embossed the panel with my Stampin' Up Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder.  I then inked up the flower, leaves and butterfly with some Gina K ink cubes and then die cut them.   The card base is white, so the panel is adhered directly to the base.  My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strip package.  I added some white pearls for the final touch!



I think I met the challenge--mission accomplished!  And--Mission Completed!  I wish to thank Jeanette for such a sweet gift to complete this round. And, to Jeanette for creating this fun challenge in 2020 along with my teammate Kelly for a great time these past three years.  We have had some fun challenges with new items received!

Please be sure to check out the other Mission Possible, now Mission Completed,  handmade  cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card.

Rainbow Paint Sticks!


This colorful card is for a fun challenge that Jeanette came up with two years called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item three times in 2020 and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on.  In 2021, we each took turns sending an item to each other.  We are back in 2022 with this challenge and will make a project three times this year with a different item each round!  This Will be Mission Impossible Possible!


For the second challenge in 2022, Kelly sent something for us to use along with the following info: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker.  Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, involves the use of these rainbow tempera paint sticks.  As in the past, you will be working alongside the same two team members. This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.  Good Day and Good Luck!  She also noted that we have been selected to go beyond the call of the M-I-P duty and stretch our creative artistry boundaries.  We were given a full set of tempera paint sticks--art in a box!  There are so many ways to use these and Kelly has no doubt that we will be ready, willing and able to complete the (colorful) mission!

Kelly did send us an entire box full of rainbow colors.  They are from Art Unwrapped and are called Tempera Paint Sticks.   WOWZA--Thanks Loads Kelly!    So--when I see rainbow colors, I decided to use them to make a rainbow background.  I love the bold, bright colors!  I rubbed each of 7 colors of the rainbow paint sticks at an angle over a quarter sheet of cardstock.  I did go back a few times to fill in some white spots and try to blend them a bit--but they do not blend like inks.  I then die cut 3 panels from my Momenta Imperial Trellis Cover plate die in white and layered them together for some fun dimension.  The card base is white, so the panel is adhered directly to the base.  My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and CZ Designs called Chunky Hello.  I also die cut the word three times from white and layered on the black shadow for some sweet contrast.  I added 7 Gina K Designs pearls of each color of the rainbow over each of the coordinating stripes.  I like that added touch!



I think I met the challenge--mission accomplished!  I think these sticks are very easy to use and I am sure I will use them again--thanks for the fun gift and challenge Kelly!  I love the Bright Colors!  We will be back later this year with another fun challenge with an item that Jeanette will send to use--stay tuned!  

Please be sure to check out the other Mission Possible projects with these fun and colorful Tempera Paint sticks.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card.

#imayneedmorecoffee!

For the first challenge in 2022, I sent something for us to use along with the following info: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker.  Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, involves the use of this starry stencil.  As in the past, you will be working alongside the same two team members. This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.  Good Day and Good Luck!

I sent out this sweet stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Designs called Rory-the Caffeinated Raccoon. It is a fun image with a number of coordinating sentiments.  I colored Rory with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I then stamped the sentiment with black ink and die cut it with my Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2 banner.  The patterned paper is from a fun Lawn Fawn Rainbow Watercolor Wishes 6x6 paper pack.  I added a few green enamel dots.  




I think I met the challenge--mission accomplished! And, I hope Kelly and Jeanette enjoyed the challenge this round.  We will be back later this year with another fun challenge!  

Please be sure to check out the other Mission Possible projects with this fun stamp set.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card. Be sure to check back to see what else create this year.

Mission Possible Returns!



This is my card for a fun challenge that Jeanette came up with last year called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item three times in 2020 and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on.  We plan to do this quarterly and the item will change each round!  This Will be Mission Impossible Possible!

Earlier in 2021, Kelly and I also sent out items to use.  This time, Jeanette again  sent something for us to use along with the following info: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker.  Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, involves the use of this starry stencil.  As in the past, you will be working alongside the same two team members. This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.  Good Day and Good Luck!

Jeanette sent us a sweet stencil by Spellbinders called Star Bright.  It is a large stencil, 6x6!  I love the starry pattern of this stencil and wanted to try it with different mediums on different colored cardstock.  I also knew I needed some more Thank You cards, so I used a fun die from Taylored Expressions called Thanks and Backer.  I cut the word three times from Metallic Mirricard from The Paper Cut and layered them together for additional dimension.  The backer is vellum from Stampin' Up, as I decided I did not want to cover up more of the fun starry background!


For the navy card,  I used Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste.  I must really like this stuff as I have three jars of it!  The sentiment is die cut from Gold Mirricard and there is also a gold layer.  The card base is Blackberry Bliss.



For the white card,  I used Platinum Nuvo Mousse. This time, the sentiment is die cut from Silver Mirricard and there is also a silver layer.  The card base is Basic Black.

I think I met the challenge--mission accomplished!  And, I am excited that the three of us are going to do this again in 2022!  I have the item ready to send out that we will use in the early part of the new year, should Kelly and Jeanette agree to take the challenge!



Here is the inside of my cards, with a strip of the metallic cardstock:

Collage of Birds



This is the 6th card of a new challenge that was started in 2020 with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me!  This is our 6th challenge amongst us!  Jeanette came up with this new challenge called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item three times in 2020 and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on. So--for 2021, we are continuing and doing it quarterly.  And, yes, the item will change each round!  This Will be Mission Impossible Possible!

I am up for the 2nd round of 2021 and this is what I sent:   Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the use of an interesting stamp set that will be revealed to you upon opening this package. Two team members have been selected to work with you, I am one of them and I am sure you can guess who the 2nd is………...  You both will be given the opportunity to accept or decline this mission. Should you choose to accept the mission, you have some time to complete it, as we will decide on a date sometime between May and August.   You then will create a card using the enclosed stamp and post it somewhere in a public forum (blog, gallery, FB, Instagram, or such). The theme of the card can be any of your choosing; the only requirement is to use the stamp on your card!

 

This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.

 

Good day, Ms. Card-Maker… and Good Luck!


I sent both Kelly and Jeanette this fun Picket Fence Stamp called Collage of Birds.  It is a fun, square stamp. I thought it would be a fun stamp to ink blend and decided on rainbow colors.  I picked my Tim Holtz Distress Ink Cubes and used 6 of the 7 colors of the rainbow.  Then, I layered 2 dies from Sizzix and Tim Holtz called Stitched Squares together and made a frame to go over the inked image. I cut three of the frames for some fun dimension on the card.   I used an Embossing Folder from Spellbinders called overlapping circles and just embossed the bottom section of the black card base.   I picked a fun Simon Says Stamp sentiment from their package of sentiment strips.  It is layered on a black strip, but is hard to see.  I think met the challenge--mission accomplished! And, I am excited to do this again! We are going to continue in the final quarter and Jeanette will be up. 



Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the rainbow washi tape:

Mission Possible



This is the 5th card of a new challenge started in 2020 with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me!  This is our 6th challenge amongst us!  Jeanette came up with this new challenge called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item three times in 2020 and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on.  We plan to do this quarterly and the item will change each round!  This Will be Mission Impossible Possible!

This is what Kelly sent to use this round: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker. You did an outstanding job with your last mission and are to be commended!
Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, involves the use of the stencil in this package.  You may use stamps or other supplies from your stash with it, just make sure the stencil is the focal point of your card.  
 This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.

Kelly sent us a sweet stencil by Pretty Pink Posh called Birthday Background.  It is a large stencil, 6x6!  I love this stencil and I wanted to try something new when using it.  I went with Brutus Monroe Velveteen Glaze, the colors were Blueberry Bushel, Happy Heather and Banana Split.  l put the three colors on the stencil at an angle and let it dry overnight.  It is really thick and such fun colors.  However, I did not like the look of the entire stencil, so I decided to use a die to cut out a image to showcase.  I used my Gina K Master Layouts 4 to cut a heart and the black background.  I used an Embossing Folder from Lifestyle Crafts called Happy Birthday for the background. I picked the die cut Hugs and layered it three times from Astro King Snow White Metallic.  I added some white enamel dots to highlight the white from the stencil  I think met the challenge--mission accomplished! And, I am excited to do this again! We are going to continue in the next quarter and I have the item ready to send out!



Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the stenciled background:

Let It Snow



This is the fourth card of a new challenge in 2020 with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me!  This is our 6th challenge amongst us!  Jeanette came up with this new challenge called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on.  We plan to do this quarterly and the item will change each round!  This Will be Mission Impossible Possible!

This is what Jeanette sent to use this round: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker. You did an outstanding job with your last mission and are to be commended!
Your next mission, should you decide to accept it, involves the use of the stencil in this package.  You may use stamps or other supplies from your stash with it, just make sure the stencil is the focal point of your card.  
 This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.

Jeanette sent us this sweet stencil by Taylored Expressions called Winter's Beauty.  It is a large stencil, 6x6!  I love this stencil and have many from TE--but not this one-such a surprise! And--it is a Beauty!  I decided I wanted to use a navy background for the cardstock.  I used Gina K Designs Glitz Glitter Gel on the stencil and the color is called Iridescent.  It does have great colors that do shine-but the pictures do not show it well at all.  I made a 6 x 6 square card as I did not want to cut off any part of the snowflake. I decided I did not want to add a a stamped image over the the snowflake, but I picked a die from Tonic called Let It Snow. I tried a few different colors and decided to go with Gold Mirricard from The Paper Cut. I layered the gold over two die cuts from navy for some dimension.  There is also a layer of gold between the two layers of blue  I added some Taylored Expression Gold Drip Drops for more shine on the card.    I think met the challenge--mission accomplished! And, I am excited to do this again! We are going to continue in 2021!



Here is the inside of my card:



Please be sure to check out the other Mission Possible projects with this fun snowflake stencil.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card. Be sure to check back to see what we create in 2021.  We are going to do this every 4 months and each of us with pick one time to send out the mystery item.  Kelly is going to be first in 2021-so the Mission Impossible Possible Continues!

Be A Light!


This is the third card of a new challenge in 2020 with the three collaborators you have seen many times in the past--Kelly, Jeanette and me!  This is our 6th challenge amongst us!  Jeanette came up with this new challenge called Mission Possible!  Jeanette sent us a mystery item and asked if we would accept the challenge to make a project with the items even before opening the package!  Of course, Kelly and I said yes, so the challenge is on.  We plan to do this quarterly and the item will change each round!  This Will be Mission Possible!

This is what Jeanette sent to use this round: Good Day, Ms. Card-Maker. You did an outstanding job with your last mission and are to be commended!
As I prepared for this mission, I had an item picked out, purchased and waiting for the time to mail it to you.  Then--THEN--I saw the amazing work of Dina Roedel Kowal and immediately knew I wanted to go in a different direction.  She used the cloud edger stencil that is getting so much attention right now, but she paired it with another item that caught my eye too. It is that "other item" that is your next mission, should you choose to accept it.  You'll discover what that item is by opening the enclosed package. 
 This message will not self-destruct in five seconds, since I have no ability to do that and besides, you might need to refer to it again at some point.

Jeanette sent us this awesome embossing folder by Taylored Expressions called Walking on Sunshine.  I love this folder and have many from TE--but not this one-such a surprise!  I embossed a piece of Daffodil Delight and then picked three colors of Tim Holtz Oxide inks. I added color with my brushes to accent the rays.  I did peak at Jeanette's card as mine is a day late and love her card.  She did use the cloud stencil edger on her card and I HAD to order it last night!  I cannot wait to get it and practice and practice some more!  I did watch Dina's video on the stencil and she used a sentiment that said Be The Light.  I do not have one like that, but did use a Dare 2B Artzy stamp from the My Path set--I think it works!  On a side note--I love the song Be A Light by Thomas Rhett and other country singers.  I persuaded Rebecca to learn the song as she is singing an outdoor concert at our church the first weekend in October for a benefit for an orphanage in Cambodia that we support. She has it down and I love listening to her signing it while she practices for the event.  I added some gold glitter enamel dots to the rays on my card.  I think met the challenge--mission accomplished! And, I am excited to do this again! AND- I will do better and post my card on the correct day!



And, if you are not familiar with the song Be A Light, here is a link.



Please be sure to check out the other Mission Possible projects with this fun embossing folder.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog. They might have posted yesterday or are late like me and post today!  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card. Be sure to check back to see what we create in December--and see what item Jeanette sends us to create with!
