Summer Mini Catalog Sneak Peek

My pre-order from the Summer Mini Catalog arrived so I used the stamp set Fabulous Florets on this card. The Summer Mini comes out May 1st. It also was made for two challenges and a sketch. First, the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL#136 here. Second, PPA#89, Flowers, here. And finally, the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#146 here, using Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Pacific Point.
My base is Pacific Point card stock. I added some Pumpkin Pie DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. On Whisper White I stamped the flowers from Fabulous Florets in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Pacific Point. I stamped the frame from Four Frames in Pacific Point and added the sentiment from Because I Care in Real Red. I punched that out with the XL Decorative Label punch and popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals. I threaded some Pacific Point card stock thru the Pumpkin Pie button and adhered that with a Glue dot. Finally, some 5/8 inch Real Red grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Fabulous Florets and Because I Care, Four Frames
Papers: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Patterns DSP Brights Stack
Inks: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Pacific Point
Accessories: XL Decorative Label punch, (retired) Pumpkin Pie button, Stampin' dimensionals, Glue dot, 5/8 inch Real Red grosgrain

Splitcoast Sketch #322

I used the Splitcoast Sketch# 322 here for this card. The base is Chocolate Chip card stock and I added DSP from the Greenhouse Gala DSP. I colored in the hydrangea from Because I Care with my Baha Breeze and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write markers.
I also used the Chocolate Chip marker to stamp the With Sympathy from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I then added the little flowers from Because I Care in Baha Breeze. I punched the Whisper White circle with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch and added the Chocolate Chip circle punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch, popping them up with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Because I Care and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Stamping 411 #172 in Regal Rose

Here's my card for this week's sketch #172 at Stamping 411. A very quick one!
I began with a base of Regal Rose and added two of the papers from the Patterns DSP Brights stack. I colored in the stamp from Because I Care with the Regal Rose and Pear Pizzazz Stampin write markers. I then layered that onto some Regal Rose and Pear Pizzazz card stock. Finally, some 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.

Catalog Sneek Peek and a Splitcoast Sketch

Here's another sneak peek at the Greenhouse Gala DSP and Friends Never Fade stamp set from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog.
I made this card for the Splitcoast sketch#285 here.
I started with a card stock base of Chocolate Chip. Then I ran a piece of Pear Pizzazz thru the Big Shot with the new Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folder.
I colored in the flower image from Friends Never Fade with the Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz markers. Those were punched out with the 1 1/4 inch punch and layered onto a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch square punch. "Thank you" from Because I Care was stamped on Whisper White in Chocolate Chip and punched with the small oval punch then layered onto a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the large oval punch. I popped up all three squares with Stampin dimensionals too. Finally, a piece of the 1/8 inch Marina Mist taffeta ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

Papers: Whisper white, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz, Greenhouse Garden DSP
Inks: Chocolate Chip Stampin pad and Stampin write marker, Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz Stampin write markers
