Blog Challenge - CAS Colours & Sketches #506 Hand-Penned Petals sympathy card

 

 

 

 

 

  Hello and Happy Friday - TGIF, am I right?!  There is a new color challenge over on the CAS Colours & Sketches blog that I used to create my sympathy card for today.  Sadly, I have needed a few sympathy cards to send to friends and family this week and thought this color palette would be perfect to use with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. 

 

 

 

 

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #506

 

  The CAS Colours & Sketches blog provides a color challenge for the first half of the month and a sketch challenge for the other half. This month's palette is such a great color combination for spring-themed cards, especially florals.  Please click the link or image above to check out the blog.

 

 

 

 

  I must admit that I haven't used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set in a while, and forgot how much I love it!  I stamped the large flower image several times onto a 11" x 3" strip of basic white card stock and then colored them all at the same time, assembly-line style. There are solid image stamps in the set that coordinate with the flowers and foliage, making it super easy to color. Once they were colored, I used the coordinating Penned Flowers dies to cut each one out with my Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

 

 

   Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code NK4X4VC3* with your online order at checkout through March 30th).  

 

 

 

  Here you can see the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the basic pearls that I added for a little something extra. Once I die cut the floral image, I popped it up with dimensionals on my card front.

 

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card I simply stamped the large floral image with Highland Heather ink, stamped off once on my grid paper, then stamped a partial image in the lower left corner. This allows me room to write, but also makes the inside of the card a little special too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is one more view of my card. I hope I have inspired you to try out this color palette.

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!

Blog Challenges Hues of Happiness friendship card for Just Add Ink #642 and Cookie Challenge #178

 

 

 

 

  Hello and Happy Tuesday!  There are two new blog challenges that I used to create my friendship card for today - Just Add Ink's sketch #642 and the color Yellow from Cookie Challenge #178.  

 

 

 

Just Add Ink #642 - sketch challenge

 

 

Cookie Challenge #178 - March/Yellow

 

  These blogs provide great inspiration and I combined the two for my card today.  Check them out using the links below each photo.

 

 

 

 

  I really love the Hues of Happiness DSP and haven't used it in a while... with Spring upon us here in Central Virginia, I thought it was a great time to pull it out to use for this card. I like the sketch - it's simple and the strip of DSP adds so much to this card!  The yellow card stock that I used is Daffodil Delight and I paired it with Granny Apple Green, both of which (along with Melon Mambo) are found in the Brights color collection.

 

 

   Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code NK4X4VC3* with your online order at checkout through March 30th).  

 

 

 

  Here you can see the rhinestones that I added for some extra bling. The flower and leaves in the panel are cut from another pattern from this DSP and layered with dimensionals.  I added the word friend from the Happiness Abounds stamp set with Melon Mambo ink.  So easy!

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card I simply added a skinny strip of the DSP and stamped the sentiment with Melon Mambo ink.

Seize the Birthday blog challenge #256 - Red, White and Espresso Love Cats birthday card

 

 

 

 

  Hello and Happy Monday!  There is a new Seize the Birthday challenge that ends tomorrow - #256: Red, White Plus One Color -  and I decided to use the Love Cats stamp set along with the Happiness Abounds stamp set to create this fun, super quick and easy birthday card. 

 

 

 

  This blog challenge is all about birthday cards, but each time they add a "topping" for a twist, and for this challenge it was to use Red, White plus one color, so I chose Early Espresso as my plus one. Brown and red go together so well, just like chocolate-covered strawberries (which are my favorite!).

 

 

 

   Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code NK4X4VC3* with your online order at checkout through March 30th).  

 

 

 

  Here you can see the texture I added to the front panel using the Gingham embossing folder. I popped up the stamped panel as well as the sentiment strip. 

 

 

 

 
  For the inside of the card I stamped the cute upside-down kitty and another sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set.  In my opinion, the Love Cats stamp set is perfect not only for Valentine's Day cards, but also for all the cat lovers in your life!!

Sunday Fun Day: Last call for SAB - Sending Support with Favored Flowers card set

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects made with Sale-a-Bration items as this fabulous promotion is ending in a few days.  I am sharing cards made with two items that can each be earned with a $50 merchandise order through February 28th - the Sending Support stamp set and Favored Flowers DSP (which coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers bundle on page 21 of the Spring Mini catalog).

 

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).  

 

 

  Here is the first card, with a beautiful color palette of Blackberry Bliss, Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia - all colors found in the beautiful DSP.  I fussy cut this flower from one of the DSP designs and added a sentiment from the stamp set. I also added a few rhinestone jewels which I think finishes the card nicely.  To add a little something extra to the inside of the card I added a skinny strip of DSP that was from the reverse side of the piece that I cut the flowers.

 

 

 

  This card pulls colors from the DSP design - Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen and Petal Pink.  I just love this sentiment and already know a co-worker that I will be sending this card as she recently did a presentation for our entire company despite being terrified.  I want to let her know how proud I am of her!

 

 

 Here is one more view of my card set.  Which is your favorite?  Isn't it amazing how the DSP is the star of both cards?  For even more Sale-a-Bration ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

Blog Challenges birthday card for FMS #573 and TCH #58

 

 

 

  Hello and Happy Thursday!  There are two new blog challenges out this week that I used to create this fun birthday card.  The color combination is from the new Color Hues challenge - TCH #58: Lime Green & Cyan - and I decided to use that color palette (new In Colors Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide) along with the new card sketch at Freshly Made Sketches - FMS573.  I just got this Taco Fiesta stamp set recently and it is SO fun!

 

 

 

I entered my card here at the Color Hues challenge blog

 

 

 

And here at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog

 

 

 

 

  Here is another view of my card. I really like how the striped panel turned out - simple, but effective. I was able to follow the sketch pretty closely, don't you think?  And how about this color combination, so fun right?!

  Here is a close-up of the striped panel I created with card stock scraps. I glued them down on a piece of basic white card stock cut to 5" x 2-1/4".  The little guacamole image was fussy cut and colored with stampin' blends, then popped up on the sentiment with dimensionals. 

 

 

 

  

  For the inside panel, I added a strip from the striped panel that I created for the front of the card and added that super cute avocado image in the left corner. I colored it with my stampin' blends and added the happy birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set to complete it.

Biggest Wish blog challenges birthday card

 

 

 

 

  Hello and Happy Monday!  I created today's ombre birthday card using two blog challenges - one is from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #571 that was released last Monday, and the other is for the CAS on Friday challenge #250.  

 

 

 

 

  Here is the card sketch for FMS571.  The challenge from CAS on Friday was to incorporate an ink splatter on a card. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  I recently saw a card in one of the Facebook groups I am in (sorry, I didn't catch the name and don't think she has a blog) with this stamp set that was stamped in ombre on the card front and I loved it!  So here is my CASE of that look using a different card layout.  The colors of the word "Happy" in order from top to bottom are: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. I inked the word "birthday" with Pacific Point ink, which is also the color of card stock that I used to mat the panel. It is popped up with dimensionals on a Bermuda Bay card base. 

 

 

 

 

 

    Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).

 

 

 

 

  For the second blog challenge I had to use ink splatter on my card. Once I had my sentiments how I wanted them, I then took an old toothbrush, wet it and dipped the bristles in some ink that had pooled in the lid of the Coastal Cabana ink pad. I then carefully splattered it across the stamped panel. It was a bit too wet, so I did have to go back and add ink to the birthday sentiment using a Pacific Point stampin' write marker.  I like how the ink splatter is subtle. I also embellished with a few rhinestone jewels. 

 

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card I pulled out the Adorable Owls stamp set. I was too lazy to go into my craft stash and grab my Stampin' Blends markers so just used the Stampin' Write markers that were on my desk (from coloring in the birthday sentiment).  I have not used these in quite a while to directly color an image, and I have to say that I much prefer the look of coloring with Stampin' Blends. Don't get me wrong, I abolutely love my stampin' write markers, but for other uses like coloring parts of a stamp, fixing a stamping boo boo and other fun techniques. I added a little rhinestone on the top of his birthday hat for fun.

TCH #57 - Coral and Sage Beautifully Happy 4-corner birthday card

 

 

  Hello and Happy Thursday!  There is a new Color Hues challenge out this month - TCH #57: Coral and Sage - and I decided to use that color palette to make a card using the Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration selection stamp set. Since we don't have a "sage" color I felt like Soft Succulent from the 2021-2023 In Color collection was the closest. I paired it with Calypso Coral in this birthday card. I am really loving this stamp set - coloring is so easy because it is a 2-step stamp set.

 

 

 

  Want to see what else I've done with it? Check out this post here for more details about the card set I made last month. 

 

 

 

I entered my card here at the Color Hues challenge blog

 

 

 

 

 

  What do you think of this card layout? I was inspired by Dawn Olchefske's 4-corner cards that she has been sharing recently.  I changed mine up a little - since the card is 4-1/4" square, my DSP squares started off as 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" instead of 2" like with her cards. I used the Evening Evergreen DSP plaid design that includes Soft Succulent stripes in the plaid - this is a great pack of designer paper and is on sale now for just $4.60 (see the link below)!  The sentiment was added to a strip of white card stock, which I snipped on one end to form the banner.

 

 

 

 

 

  

    Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).

 

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card front. I stamped the middle flower on a piece of scrap card stock, cut it out and mounted it on the card to give it more dimension. Do you see the center? That is one of the milky dots and it works perfectly with this flower.  I love that the solid images used to color the line item images look textured. Because this stamp set is made from photopolymer, it is super-easy to line up the stamps.

 

 

 

   

  For the inside panel, I stamped the smaller flower in the lower left corner and the birthday greeting in the center.  Simple but pretty.

Sweet Songbirds Christmas card

  Hello and Happy Monday!  I am really  making an effort to stamp more and have decided to start participating in various blog challenges throughout the month. I found three that I used to help me design today's card. It's never too soon to get a jump start on holiday cards, am I right?!  Read on to see which ones inspired me....

 

 

  The first blog challenge I used for my card layout is the Once Upon a Time Challenge blog. They choose a children's book cover as inspiration each month and January's challenge #6 is to use The Snowy Day. 

 

  The second blog challenge I selected for my card inspiration is the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge blog. They present a bi-monthly challenge using a picture as inspiration. This Challenge #32 inspiration is Christmas birds.

 

  The last blog challenge I selected to participate in is from The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up blog. This is a monthly challenge and January's Challenge #96 is an Anything Goes one. They offer a twist, but I opted not to use it. 

 

 

  So how do you think I did?  I used the book cover for my layout design and in order to incorporate a bird I turned to the Sweet Songbirds bundle.  The Very Best Occasions is the only current stamp set that I have with any Christmas sentiments so it worked out perfectly.  Wondering how I made my "snow" and tree? I used a piece of plain printer paper and cut it in half with a wavy line. That is what I used as my template with a small blending brush along with several ink pads to create the snow: blushing bride, coastal cabana and highland heather. I then used the straight edge and the other piece with the wavy line to sponge on the soft suede ink for the tree. Lastly, I flipped the straight edge and sponged on mango melody for the other side.  I was a huge fan of the sponges that Stampin' Up! used to carry and getting used to using these blending brushes is taking me some time... a light touch is always best and I do dab off first on my grid paper after inking up to remove any excess inks. I always start with the lightest color, and work my way down to the darkest color. 

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code U22V9GDJ* with your online order at checkout through February 28th).  

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card front. In order to have the birdie's footsteps through the snow, I used an early espresso stampin' write marker to only ink up the feet and stamped twice before inking in full for her little legs.  Her body and wing were stamped with poppy parade ink and cut out using the coordinating Songbird builder punch. I also stamped her beak with mango melody and cut that out with the punch. Lastly, I added her eyes with early espresso ink.  The banner was stamped using shaded spruce ink, which matches the card stock mat on the card front.  The card base is 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" poppy parade card stock scored in half at 4-1/4" to form a square card. This will fit inside an A2 envelope so you don't have to pay extra postage.  

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I used another sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set and inked it with shaded spruce ink. Since this is a smaller card I decided not to stamp any images inside the card so I would have more room to write.

 

 

  Here is one more look at my card for the various challenges. I think I achieved all three, what do you think?  Be sure to check out any of the blog challenges below in case you want to participate as well!

FMS570 card sketch challenge - A Love Cats Valentine's card

  Hello and Happy Thursday!  I am on a roll this week with blog challenge cards.  Today I am sharing another Love Cats Valentine's Day card (in all honesty I am making these for my kids and thought I'd also share here on my  blog), I surely hope you are not tired of seeing them!  If you missed it, I shared a Bridge card fun-fold on Wednesday - check it out here.

 

 

  I designed this card using the Freshly Made Sketch challenge sketch FMS570.  I love how clean and simple it is, definitely my kind of card!

 

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code AWMYZTC4 with your online order at checkout through January 30th).  

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the card front. I added in a few rhinestones to add some bling (and to cover up a boo-boo, shhhh don't tell my daughter!).   I just love this upside down cat image!  I inked the stamp with Early Espresso ink and the card base is also Early Espresso card stock. 

 

 

  Here is one more look at my card for the sketch challenge. I really like how it turned out, what do you think?  Be sure to check back on Sunday because I have one more Love Cats Valentine's Day card to share!

Sunday Fun Day: Showcasing the versatility of the Petal Park Builder punch

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing our favorite tools from the January-April Spring mini catalog. Punches and flowers are two of my favorite things and the Petal Park builder punch brings them both together!  It is part of a bundle (coordinates with the Petal Park stamp set), but can also be purchased on its own. I used the Regency Park DSP and the Petal Park bundle along with the Happiness Abounds stamp set (great sentiments!) to create a fun set of mini note cards. These mini cards are perfect for using with gift bags as a tag - just punch a small hole in the upper corner and thread through with baker's twine. Or just slip one inside your gift bag as a card. Do you see the different ways I have used the punch?  I love it! 

 

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that if you place an order of $50 or more you qualify to select a free Sale-a-Bration item!! To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code AWMYZTC4 with your online order at checkout through January 30th).  

 

 

  Here is a close-up of a mini notecard featuring a 3D flower. I had fun making a bunch of these and love that the punch also includes the leaf. To make extra leaves I just cut a 1" strip of card stock and punched out a bunch to have on hand. Mint macaron is not a color listed on the Regency Park DSP pack but it works great with this design so I used it for the leaves for all of my flowers. I also used Balmy Blue, Mango Melody and Night of Navy (card stock and ink) with this project. See below for steps to make these fun little 3D flowers.

 

 

To create the 3D flower, follow these steps once you have punched out your card stock flower layers:

   1. Start by curling the edges of the petals using the pointy side of the bone folder (like when you use a scissor blade to curl ribbon).

   2. Place the flower on a squishy surface like the Stampin' Pierce mat. Use the end of a ballpoint pen cap (smooth on the end) and press down in the center in a circular motion. You'll end up with a flower piece that curls up around the edges and will look like the third flower on on the right in the first photo.

   3. Use multipurpose adhesive to put the flower layers together. Finish the flower by adding an adhesive-backed milky dot.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the full-sized card. I used the Petal Park stamp set to stamp the background foliage and 3 flowers image that work with the punch. The flowers are very pretty, even when they are flat on a card. Again, I embellished the center of the largest flower with a milky dot. 

 

 

  Here is a photo to show you how I embellished the mini note card envelopes with a skinny strip of DSP. I did the same on the inside of most of my cards as well. I used an entire piece of the 6" x 6" DSP for this project today with just a teeny scrap left over. Happy stamping and Happy Sale-a-Bration!!

 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
