Clean & Simple Birthday

I used the Clean and Simple FTL#165 here for this really quick birthday card. I made a bunch of these to sell at the craft fair.
The base is Pacific Point and I added some retired Celebrations DSP ( you could use the current Big Top Birthday DSP instead) and a strip of Real Red. The stamps from Party This Way were inked up in Pacific Point and Real Red. I cut the balloons and arrow out and used the Word Window punch on the greeting. The arrow an one balloon are popped up with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Party This Way
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Pacific Point, Celebrations DSP
Ink: Real Red and Pacific Point
Accessories: Word window punch and Stampin' dimensionals

Happy Father's Day for PPA

I stamped Happy Father's Day from All Holidays twice, once in Pacific Point and again in Pear Pizazz, cutting out the Pear part and popping it up with Stampin' dimensionals. I used the Small Ticket Corner punch on the corners of the Whisper White piece and the Spiral Border punch on the Real Red piece. I stamped the swirl from Trendy Trees in Real Red, punched it out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch and layered it onto a Pacific Point piece punched with the 1 inch Circle punch, popping that up with Stampin' dimensionals.

I stamped celebrate you from Party Hearty three times, once in Real Red and cut it out with the Coluzzle circle cutter. I  punched out a Real Red piece with the 2 1/2 inch XL Circle punch.

Another Card for Three Challenges

I'm multi-tasking again today and made this card for three challenges. First, I used the Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Challenge#144 here. That happens to be a picture with most of this week's Color Combo#317 here at Splitcoast. The colors to use are Baha Breeze, Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade. And finally, I used the Splitcoast Sketch#326 from last week here.

So I started with a base of Pear Pizzazz. I ran some Very Vanilla thru the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines textured impressions embossing folder. I added some Baha DSP from Elegant Soiree DSP and some Pear striped DSP from Celebrations DSP. I stamped the flowers from A Flower for All Seasons in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. I colored the stems with Pear Pizzazz, the basket with Baha Breeze and the flowers and bird with Poppy Parade and a blender pen. Finally, I added some 1/2 inch Baha Breeze seam binding.

Here's my recipe:

Thank You with Celebrations DSP

I ran a strip of Pear Pizzazz thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. I stamped Kind Thanks from Thank You Kindly in Whisper White Craft ink and added some White Embossing powder.
