Unfrogettable Stamping!

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: May's Color Challenge

  Welcome to this month's Stampers Dozen blog hop!  This month we are focusing on a color challenge:  Flirty Flamingo, Marina Mist (retiring) and Old Olive.  I am quite sad to be losing Marina Mist as this is a blue that I use often but I am thrilled that Flirty Flamingo is not retiring, but joining the Brights color family in the new catalog!! 

 When I first saw this color combination I was stumped as to how I was going to use all the colors together, but then I spied the Jar of Love stamp set that I haven't used in a long time and knew it would be perfect.  

 

  I stamped the foliage first, then filled in with some flowers for background.  I added three cut flowers to give some dimension.  The "Hello" sentiment was cut out using the washi tape framelet from the Wood Crate pack and while I had my Big Shot out I added texture to the marina mist card stock using the Garden Trellis embossing folder.

 

   Here is one more view of my card.  I finished it up by adding a knot of the 1/4" whisper white organza ribbon from the Occasions catalog.  The card base is flirty flamingo card stock.  Easy-peasy and I love how it turned out!  For more inspiration with this color challenge be sure to follow along to the next stop on this blog hop.  Thanks and have a great week!

Fabulous Friday: Better late than never Mother's Day card

   Happy Friday Monday!  I realize this post is VERY late and I do apologize!  Time just got away from me over the weekend.  Last week our theme for Fabulous Friday was to create Mother's Day cards.  I designed this one for my Mom and used her favorite retiring Sweet Soiree specialty DSP along with the retiring Large Letters framelits and Marina Mist card stock.  

  I am not really sure what this technique is called but I've seen a lot of cards on Pinterest using the popped up letters.  It wasn't hard to do using my Big Shot and the Large Letters framelits.  I centered the word and cut the "M-O-M" out of the DSP first.  Then I cut 2 more of each letter from whisper white card stock scraps and glued them to the back to give them some thickness.  The "O" I put back on the DSP for guidance on where to glue the center and then lifted it out and popped all the letters up using the mini dimensionals.  Super easy!  And the sentiment was stamped on one of the extra centers from the "O" that I cut out from the whisper white card stock.  No waste!

   Here is another view of my card.  If you haven't had a chance to make one of these cards you really ought to give it a try!  The Large Letters framelits are retiring so if you want to get them, be sure to place your order online here and use Host Code 9ER34VVW to be entered in a drawing to win the Burlap background stamp set for FREE!  And for even more ideas and inspiration please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog  to check out what the other designers created this week.  

* Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend! *
