Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Friday: Color Challenge featuring Bermuda Bay and Lemon-Lime Twist

 

   Happy Friday and thanks so much for checking in today!  This week we are featuring a fun color combination of Bermuda Bay and Lemon-Lime twist that Karla challenged us with for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I had a hard time deciding what type of card to make and settled on a Get Well card using the Sorry for Everything and Healing Hugs stamp sets.

 

  It is hard to see, but I added some glimmer to the lemon-lime twist die cut from the Flourishes thinlits using the clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush.  I also used the Tufted dynamic folder again to add some fun texture on the bermuda bay card stock panel.  

  

  Not forgetting the inside of the card, I stamped a simple flower image and the awesome sentiment from the Healing Hugs stamp set, leaving enough room to write a nice note.

 

  

  Here is one more view of my card - I just love how this turned out and hope that it brightens the day of an ill friend.  For even more color challenge ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: All that glitters

 
   Happy Friday and thanks so much for checking in today!  This week we are featuring glitter in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog because who doesn't love a little bling?!  I decided to use a technique that I haven't done in quite a while called Glitter Window.  The glitter is attached to a piece of clear packing tape that is facing upright in a cutout in your card stock (you can check out a cool tutorial here).  I used my hand-dandy Big Shot and the Ovals layering framelits to easily cut out my "window" for the glitter then added some fun texture with the new Tufted Dynamic texture folder.  

  

  You can really see the glitter in this close-up of the frame.  I stamped the flowers from the Petal Palette stamp set with Memento ink and then colored with my Stampin' Blend markers.  I like how the colors are slightly muted.  The sentiment was cut out using the classic label punch and  I finished off the card with some of the new Polka Dot tulle ribbon.

  

  Here is one more view of my card - I just love the glitter and it is contained (which is an issue for some people).  For even more glimmer and shine project ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Color Challenge

 

   Hi there and welcome to the August Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are creating projects featuring the fun color combination above - it is bright and perfect for summer.  I decided to use a long-time favorite stamp set - Flourishing Phrases - for my project not only because of the great sentiments, but also because of the images it has.  I love this flower!

  

 

  This is a clean and simple layout with only a few rhinestone jewels and textured card stock as embellishments.  I love how happy this card feels with this color combination.

 

   Do you recognize the texture on the melon mambo card stock?  I used the new Subtle dynamic textured impressions folder - don't you love it? I cut out my flowers that I stamped with melon mambo ink on flirty flamingo card stock and added some rhinestones.  The only other embellishing that I did to this was to color the little dots with a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush - it is really hard to photograph so you'll have to trust me that in real life it is fun and sparkly.

 

  Here is one more view of my card - I really like how these colors work together and hope you do, too.  Please continue on the blog hop by using the links below.  Thanks for visiting and have a great rest of your week!!

Fabulous Friday: Back-to-School Petal Promenade Notebook

 
   Happy Friday and thanks so much for checking in today!  This week we are featuring Back-to-School projects for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog since it is just about that time. My son Brandon, who will be a Junior in High School this year, starts on Tuesday.  Kelsey will be heading to the University of Kentucky next Friday for her sophomore year and Amanda returns to George Mason University as a Junior the following Friday.  I can' t believe summer is over already! 

 
  I decided to alter a 5" x 7" notebook that I had on hand using the gorgeous new Petal Promenade DSP that I got in this week in my Stampin' Up! order.  I thought this would be perfect for one of my girls to write down homework assignments - what do you think?

 

  The DSP is gorgeous all on its own so I kept the embellishment pretty minimal.  I added an "N" for Naylor that I cut out of grapefruit grove card stock with my Big Shot and the Large Letters framelits.  I added it to a 2" circle of very vanilla card stock cut out with my punch and a sahara sand scalloped circle cut with the Layering Circles framelits.  Two pearls finish it off.

 

   Do you recognize this sentiment?  I used it last week (see that blog post here) and really love it!  It is from the Artfully Folded host set.  Wonder how I layered this?  It is made of three layers of card stock cut using the classic label punch.  I just staggered them to create this look.  The sentiment fit perfectly inside this, too!  Remember, stamp first then turn the punch upside down and easily cut it out!

  

  Here is one more view of my notebook - I just love that the flowers in the DSP match the flower arrangement I keep on my desk!  For even more back-to-school project ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Black and White with a pop of Flirty Flamingo

 

   Happy Friday and thanks so much for checking in today!  This week we are featuring "black and white with a pop of color" cards for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  I chose this week's theme because I love this color combination and knew most of us would end up choosing a different color to pop.  I went with Flirty Flamingo - I was so glad that Stampin' Up! brought this former In Color back in their color revamp.  I decided to use the host set called Artfully Folded that I love (remember this card that I shared earlier?). 

 

  Here is a close-up of the smaller origami crane that I stamped on flirty flamingo card stock and fussy cut with my paper snips.  I popped it up with some mini stampin' dimensionals on the pretty label punch that I had stamped with the sentiment and a small heart.  That was layered on a piece of basic black card stock cut with the everyday label punch. I created my background panel using the cherry blossom image stamped repeatedly.  I love making my own "dsp" using stamps and ink!

 

  Here is one more view of my card.  For even more black and white with a pop of color" ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.
