Sweet Sunday.....Oh, Hello

Happy Sunday peeps!! 

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day.

Here is our Sweet Sketch for this week:

I decided to pull out a fave set of mine, the Stampin Up Stippled Blossoms.

I, of course, wanted to use a bit of the new Gingham garden DSP so that decided my color.

I stamped the flowers with Regal Rose and Melon Mambo on whisper white.

The lighter looking flower is the regal stamped off once. I can't really decide which I like better, the lighter or darker flower, they are both pretty.

The base of the card is White and then some Melon Mambo and then more white that I embossed with the Perfect Dots EF. I then embossed and cut two pieces of card stock, one white and one Melon, using one of the Delicate Designs EF. I added my strip of the gingham DSP on the side.

The sentiment is from the Oh,  Hello stamp set.

Wildflower Meadow Birthday

Hello Peeps!!!

Another sweet little sneak peek. Love this new set with matching embossing folder called Wildflower Meadow.

I saw a card similar to this one on Stampin Connection (a demo only site) and had to give this technique a try.

To start you stamp the image with white craft ink onto the Crumb Cake card stock. I then used my ink pads and aqua painter to color the image. Love the results.

I used some Primrose Petals and Raspberry Ripple card stock for the base and the mat.

Admittedly I need some more practice with this technique but it sure is fun to work with!

Happy Birthday

Hello Peeps!!

Today I have another sneak peek share for you,

I love this new DSP, called Gingham Garden, isn't the gingham so pretty?

I used daffodil delight for the base of my card and then some white card stock to amt the DSP onto.

I made another tissue paper flower, this time I used daffodil delight ink to color the flower.

 I punched out about 8-10 layers of tissue using my scallop circle punch. I used my piercing tool and mat pack to put a small hole through the center of the scallop circles. I then added a small brad through them to hold all the layers together.

Then using a sponge and the ink pad start sponging ink onto the layers of tissue all around and then pull up the first layer and repeat with each layer of tissue. Does, that make sense? It is really easy and makes some pretty cute flowers. :) I made the leaves using the blossom builder punch. 

The sentiment is from the retired "Something to Celebrate" set. I finished off with a few basic pearls.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek!!! 

Have a great day!

You are Simply Wonderful

Hello Peeps!!

Today I am sharing another sneak peek. This time the Washi Tape that will be available in Stampin Up's new catalog.

I hadn't ever worked with washi tape but when it was available in our smeak peek items I decided to give it a try, well it sit on my desk for quite awhile before I got brave enough to give it a try.

I created the background you see here with the three colors of tape in the package, Gingham Garden. It was kinda fun to work with.

I started with a piece of white cardstock, 4-3/4" x 3-1/2", I covered  this piece with the washi tape going at an angle and alternating the colors. I matted this with some night of navy card stock.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and I made the flower with some tissue paper and my scallop circle punch. I then sponged all the layers of tissue with some melon mambo ink. I love the variegated coloring of the rose.

The sentiment is from the Friendly Phrases stamp set. I cut it out with one of the Apothecary framelits.

I finished off with some basic pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Merry Monday......Winter Wonderland

Merry Monday Peeps!!!

Lesley has another awesome sketch for us this week:

I pulled out my Stampin Up Wonderful Winterland for my card. Love the sweet little images in this set.

I stamped the image with black stazon onto white card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

I used bashful blue, cherry cobbler and some blushing bride for the skin tone.

The image is cut out using one of the Window Frames framelits.

The base of the card is crumb cake and the DSP is from the festival of prints pack.

The sentiment is from the retired Bright Christmas set. I added a small snowflake button, I sniped the shank off before gluing on. I finished off with a couple of rhinestones.

Be sure and hop over to Lesley's Blog to check out what the rest of the Merry Makers did with this fabulous sketch!

Dynamic Duos meets the Paper Players for Father's Day

Hello Peeps!!

Today I  am sharing a card I made combining two of my favorite challenges

The Dynamic Duo's Challenge this week is a great combo:

and the challenge this week at The Paper Players:

I love Pacific Point and don't use it very much and masculine cards are always a challenge for me and I thought combining the two would be the perfect marriage for my card.

The motorcycle is a retired Stampin Up single stamp that I just recently acquired. I stamped with black stazon and colored with pacific point.

The DSP on here is from the International Bazaar pack and I added in the basic black to mat and make my flags. The flags I embossed using the square lattice EF. I added a few silver brads at the top,  keeping it simple. 

I know just who will be getting this card! Hope he likes it. 

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Color Challenge.....Warmest Wishes

Happy Thursday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge this week on SplitcoastStampers.

The colors are Certainly Celery, Bermuda Bay and Regal Rose.

I started out with a totally different stamp set and didn't like what I came up with, so I moved onto a favorite

"Pleasant Poppies"-can't go wrong with this stamp!

I stamped the flowers with black stazon and colored with the regal rose and certainly celery. I then outlined them with the bermuda bay. It is very light but it is there and gives a nice effect I think.

I matted this image with regal rose. The base of the card is confetti cream and then regal rose. I used another piece of  cream and embossed the top part of it. I then used my score board and scored two lines across the bottom. I stamped my sentiment between these lines. 

The sentiment comes from the Bloomin with Kindness stamp set.

I added a few basic pearls to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by today
