Goodbye to Love Letter DSP!

I'm SO going to miss the retiring Love Letter DSP! So I used it for this card with the Artistic Etchings stamp set and the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch#155 here.
The base is Riding Hood Red card stock. I ran a piece of the DSP thru the Big Shot with the Top Note die. I punched out the black scallop with the XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. I used the XL 2 1/2 inch Circle punch on the black polka-dotted DSP. I stamped the crown in Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla and the key in Basic Black on Very Vanilla, cut both out and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals. Amour was stamped in Riding Hood Red too. I used two Basic Black brads on the bottom right hand side of the card. Finally, some 1 1/4 inch retired Riding Hood Red striped grosgrain finishes it off.

Love Letter DSP Stationary Gift Set

This stationary gift set is a present I made for my aunt. The top picture shows the outside of the portfolio and the bottom pic is of the note cards and envelopes on the inside.


This is super easy to make. Just take an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of card stock and score and fold in half at 5 1/2. Then score the other end at 2 inches, fold up and adhere the side flaps only with Sticky Strip.

The note cards are just 8 1/2 by 11 pieces of card stock cut in 4 pieces of 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. And the Very Vanilla was cut to 4 by 5 1/4 inches.

I used two patterns from the Love Letter DSP on the front. I stamped the images from Artistic Etchings on Very Vanilla with Riding Hood Red and Basic Black. The Eiffel Tower was cut out and popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Amour was punched out with the 1 3/8 by 5/8 inch oval punch. That was layered onto a Basic Black piece punched with the 1 3/4 by 7/8 inch Oval punch and then onto a Riding Hood Red piece punched with the Scallop Oval 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.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Artistic Etchings and Contempo Alphabet
Papers: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Love Letter DSP
Inks: Basic Black and Riding Hood Red
Accessories: 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/8 inch Circle punches, 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8 by 5/8 inch and 1 3/4 by 7/8 inch Oval punches, Scallop Oval punch, Stampin dimensionals, retired Riding Hood Red 1 1/4 inch striped grosgrain ribbon

PPA#70 Artistic Love Letter Card

This is my submission for the PPA#70 sketch here.
I started with a Riding Hood Red card stock base of 5 1/4 by 10 1/2 and folded it in half. I used the 1 1/4 inch Square punch to punch pieces from the Love Letter DSP and matted them on a piece of Basic Black card stock. I inked up the image from Artistic Etchings in Riding Hood Red and rock and rolled the edges in Basic Black ink and stamped it on Very Vanilla. I added a Basic Black brad to the center. I then matted that on Riding Hood Red and Basic Black card stock, popping up the square with Stampin dimensionals.

Stamps: Artistic Etchings
Papers: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red and Love Letter DSP
Inks: Basic Black and Riding Hood Red

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.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Artistic Etchings
Papers: Very Vanilla, Rose Red and Perfect Plum
Inks: Rose Red and Perfect Plum Stampin write markers
Accessories: Scallop edge border punch, 1 3/4 in XL Circle punch, 2 3/8 in XL Scallop circle punch, corner rounder punch, white gel pen, Stampin dimensionals, 5/8 inch Very Vanilla grosgrain, Vintage Wallpaper folder

Amour was stamped in Riding Hood Red, punched with the 1 3/8 by 5/8 Oval punch and layered onto a Riding Hood Red piece punched with the 1 3/4 by 7/8 Oval punch.

MOJO #151 Elegant Soiree Birthday

I'm back after two fun-filled exhausting days with my three nephews! I forgot how much energy three boys, ages 7, 5 and 18 months have. With my three kids, the three cousins and my sister we had fun. But I was definitely itching to tear open my Holiday Mini pre-order. I'll get to the holiday cards eventually, but I had to make one with these beautiful papers from Elegant Soiree DSP.
So I used the MOJO Monday sketch #151 here.
The base of this card is Soft Suede with a piece of Basic Gray layered on that. As I said, the papers are from the Elegant Soiree DSP. I stamped the Eiffel Tower from Artistic Etchings in Basic Gray and Birthday Wishes from Occasional Quotes in Baha Breeze. I ran a little piece of Soft Suede thru the Scallop Edge border punch and clipped the end of the other Soft Suede piece for the "banner look". Finally, a retired Baha Breeze button, with a sliver of Crumb Cake as the thread, finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Artistic Etchings, Occasional Quotes
Papers: Very Vanilla, Baha Breeze, Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Soft Suede, Elegant Soiree DSP
Inks: Basic Gray, Baha Breeze
Accessories: Scallop Edge border punch, retired Baha Breeze button
