Sale-a-bration Sneek Peek

I needed to make a baby card and thought of the Sale-a-bration Ice Cream Parlor DSP. The DSP also comes with a coordinating Accents Pack-it's great! Especially since we don't know if it's a boy or a girl, I think this paper works great for this card! I also used this week's FTL layout at Clean and Simple Stamping here.
The card stock base is Daffodil Delight and I added some Old Olive before adding the striped DSP from Ice Cream Parlor. The dotted and scallop print is also from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP. I stamped the turtle from Fox and Friends in Old Olive and punched it out with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I used my Circles #2 Bigz die to cut out the Old Olive circle behind the Whisper White one. Those were then popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Welcome baby from Short and Sweet was stamped in Old Olive then punched out with the Word Window punch.

A piece of retired 1 1/4 inch Riding Hood Red Striped grosgrain ribbon, adhered with Sticky Strip ties nicely to close the folder.

For the note cards I stamped the "j" from Contempo Alphabet in Basic Black and Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla. and used the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. That was layered onto a Riding Hood Red/Basic Black piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch and then onto a Riding Hood Red/Basic Black piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle punch and popped up with Stampin dimensionals.

A Quick Stamping 411 Sketch Card

This card is for the Stamping 411 #178 here. I used the new to me Deck the Halls DSP and coordinating Bells and Boughs stamp set. This card was sooo quick cuz I used the DSP as the focal point.
I started with an Always Artichoke card stock base. I stamped the bells in Always Artichoke on Very Vanilla. I used Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake Classic Inks and Blender pens to color in the image. That was matted with some Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler card stock. Finally, some 1/2 inch Cherry Cobbler seam binding finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Bells and Boughs
Papers: Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Deck the Halls DSP
Inks: Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler
Accessories: Blender pens, 1/2 inch Cherry Cobbler seam binding

Happy 16th Birthday Megan!

It's my beautiful daughter's 16th birthday today-Happy Birthday Megan! The wrapping paper was my inspiration for the colors and I used the Clean & Simple FTL#117 here to make this bright and cheery card for my bright, beautiful, funny, loving daughter! She goes for her drivers licence test on Monday so we'll see what happens then.
I used Crumb Cake for the card stock base. Then I added some Real Red and DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights stack. I colored the cupcake from Got Treats with the Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Tempting Turquoise Stampin write markers and punched that out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Circle punch. I added a Pumpkin Pie piece punched with the XL Fancy Flower punch. I colored "Sweet" from Got Treats with the Real Red Stampin write marker and 16 from a non-SU set. That was punched with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and added to a Real Red piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. I used the Perfect Plum and Real Red Stampin write markers to color the cupcake from On a Pedestal, punched it out with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. That was layered onto a Perfect Plum piece punched with the 1 3/4 in XL Scallop circle punch. A strip of Tempting Turquoise was run thru the Scallop Edge border punch. Finally, Happy Birthday from On Your Birthday was stamped in Real Red and punched out with the Word Window punch.

A Birthday Card for Lily

I put away my Christmas projects to make a birthday card for my niece, Lily. I used the Create with Connie & Mary sketch#125 here after I saw a darling card by Carrie Gaskin that used this sketch.  I started with a base of Melon Mambo and added DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for all the stamps from On a Pedestal. The base was stamped in Concord Crush, the present in Real Red and Pumpkin Pie and the top cupcake in Concord Crush and Melon Mambo. Oh, and the candle in Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo, punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch Square punch and layered in onto a Melon Mambo piece punched with the Scallop Square punch. That whole piece was then popped up with Stampin dimensionals.I matted that with Concord Crush and added a strip of Pumpkin Pie that was run thru the Scallop Edge Border punch. I stamped the tag from Birthday Bakery in Concord Crush and added a Concord piece punched with the Large Tag punch. I colored that in with Concord Crush, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Stampin write markers. Then I added a Pumpkin Pie Glitter brad and more Stampin dimensionals. Finally, some 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie and Real Red grosgrain finish it off.

Petal Pizzazz with Love Letter DSP

I made this one after seeing a sample in a Stampin' Success Magazine. If I remember correctly, the sample was smaller but I just added my own flair for a regular A2 size card.

I used the Dot Dot Dot stamp and Basic Black to add the dots to one of the flowers. The last little one was popped up with a Stampin dimensional.

PPA#68 Rose Wallpaper

I made this anniversary card for the PPA#68 Inspiration Challenge here.
I saw this picture, was drawn to the tablecloth, and thought of Rose Red and Perfect Plum together.
So I started with a base of Rose Red and ran that thru the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folder. I also used the Corner rounder punch on the bottom corners. I colored the circle image from Artistic Etchings with my Rose Red Stampin write marker then used the Perfect Plum marker on the edge. I trimmed that down a bit and added it to a Rose Red piece punched with the 1 3/ 4 XL circle punch. Then I added a Perfect Plum piece punched with the 2 3/8 inch XL scallop circle punch. I popped that all up with Stampin dimensionals. I ran a strip of Perfect Plum thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added dots to both Plum pieces with the White gel pen. I stamped Amour from Artistic Etchings in Perfect Plum on the Plum piece. Finally, some 5/8 inch Very Vanilla grosgrain finishes it off.

A Two-for-One Card

This card covers two challenges at Splitcoast.
First, the Color Combo #296 here of Poppy Parade, Tempting Turquoise and White. And second, the Sketch Challenge #306 here.  I took a little creative liberty and added a tad of Early Espresso too.
I started with a base of Whisper White. I ran some Poppy Parade thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the word stamp from On a Pedestal on the bottom of the Poppy Parade. I matted that with Early Espresso. I colored in the cupcake with my Poppy Parade and Tempting Turquoise Stampin write markers then also used the Early Espresso marker on the cherry. I popped the cherry up with a tiny Stampin dimensional. I punched out the cupcake with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch, added a Turquoise piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch XL circle punch, a Poppy circle from the Circles #2 Bigz die and an Espresso piece punched with the 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch. I also added dots with my White gel pen.

Non-traditional Clean & Simple Christmas Card

So this one is for the Clean & Simple #92 challenge over at Splitcoast here. It was to make a CAS card using Pink Krafty Olives for the colors with an option of Marina Mist(I used Baha Breeze instead).
I started by running the Crumb Cake card stock thru the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry textured impressions embossing folder. I sponged some Whisper White Craft ink on the snowflakes to make them pop a bit. I punched out some Baha Breeze DSP from Elegant Soiree with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack and added them to three of the snowflakes. I used an Old Olive Glimmer Brights brad in the center of the largest snowflake. I drew some white lines with my White gel pen. Very Merry from Short and Sweet was stamped in Old Olive.

I stamped the snowman from A Cute Christmas in Basic Black on Whisper White and colored it with the Baha Breeze, Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin write markers. Then I used my Blender pen and the Baha Breeze stamp pad to color some "faux snow".  I punched that out with the XL 1 3/4 inch circle punch and used the Circles #2 Big Shot die to cut out the Baha Breeze circle. I used my Real Red Stampin write marker to color in "Merry & Bright" from Season of Joy , matted it with some Real Red card stock and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.
