Eastern Blooms and Wonderful Favorites with a Color Challenge

This bright card uses the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge #156 here.  The colors to use are Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Old Olive.
The base is Tangerine Tango card stock and then I added some Old Olive card stock and Tangerine Tango and Old Olive DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I colored the flowers from Eastern Blooms with my Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write Markers. I added Glimmer Brads to the center of each flower. I popped up that panel with Stampin' dimensionals. I ran a piece of Tangerine Tango thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch and adhered it behind the Old Olive DSP. I stamped "to a Wonderful couple" from Wonderful Favorites in Tangerine Tango on top of the DSP. Finally, a piece of 1/4 inch Tempting Turquoise grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Wonderful Favorites, Eastern Blooms
Papers: Whisper White, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango, Patterns DSP Brights Stack
Inks: Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write markers
Accessories: Brights Glimmer Brads, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, Stampin' dimensionals, 1/4 inch Tempting Turquoise grosgrain ribbon

SC276 Eastern Blooms


I made today's card for the Splitcoast Sketch #276 here.
I was inspired by Connie Tumm's card that I saw on Splitcoast. I used the same colors, Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip and So Saffron, and the same stamp set, Eastern Blooms, but I changed things up a bit.
I started by running the Bermuda Bay card stock thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Details texturz plates. The lattuce pattern reminds me of a garden trellis. The Chocolate Chip and So Saffron patterned papers are from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. I colored the branch image with Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip and So Saffron Stampin Write markers. I stamped the flower image in Bermuda Bay then cut that out, added a Saffron brad to the center and a Chocolate Chip 1 inch circle to the back then popped it all up with a Stampin dimensional.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms
Papers: Whisper white, Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Sweet Pea DSP stack
Inks: Bermuda Bay classic pad and marker, Chocolate Chip and So Saffron markers
Accessories: 1 inch circle punch, So Saffron brad, stampin dimensionals

PPA#34 Thinking of You

This perky card was done for the PPA#34 sketch challenge here.
I used some papers from the Sweet Pea DSP stack and the Eastern Blooms stamp set. I colored the flowers with So Saffron, Old Olive and Rose Red Stampin' write markers. The sentiment is from Trendy Trees and was stamped in Old Olive. I ran the dotted paper thru the Scallop Edge punch. The 1/2 inch striped Old Olive ribbon finishes it off with a gold brad attached at each end.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms and Trendy Trees
Papers: Whisper white Old Olive, So Saffron and Sweet Pea DSP
Inks: So saffron, Old Olive and Rose Red stampin' write markers
Accessories: 1/2 inch striped Old Olive grosgrain, scallop edge punch, gold brads

PPA#3-Flowered Buttons


I had fun with this week's Inspiration Challange at PPA here. We were supposed to use a Pottery Barn picture as the Inspiration. Since my favorite colors are mostly in the Bold Brights, this was right up my alley! And, as I promised, I incorporated the Playground and Sherbet buttons that are on special (this post here) into this card. Even though I used 4 stamp sets and lots of accessories on this card it came together pretty quickly. One tip, I used really,really thin scraps of paper to "thread" the buttons. Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Always, Eastern Blooms, Enjoy Every Moment, Smarty Pants
Papers: Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Razzleberry Lemonade
Inks: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Write Markers, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin' Pads
Accessories: Designer Buttons Playground and Sherbet, Bold Brights Brads, Bigz Scallop Circles #2 die, 1/2 inch circle punch, 1 inch circle punch, 1 1/4 inch circle punch, Glue dots, Stampin' dimensionals

Splitcoast Sketch #241-Modern Blooms

Better late then never! I finally got a quick chance to stamp today and this card came together in less than 10 minutes(after it took longer than that to decide which stamp set to use)!I followed this sketch #241 on Splitcoast. I can't say enough how easy these are to follow, especially if you print out the sketch because it prints out to the exact size of an A2 card! Then you can just trace and cut and you're good to go!!! With this one I colored the stamp with Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay and Rose Red Stampin' Write Markers. I left off a sentiment because I needed to make some all occasion cards for a custom order. Easy peasy!
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms
Papers: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Bermuda Bay, Thoroughly Modern DSP
Inks: Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay and Rose Red Stampin' Write Markers
Accessories: None

Splitcoast Card Sketch #238


I'm at it again! I made a card for another Splitcoast Stampers Card Sketch here.
Easy-peasy to just print out the sketch and measure, cut and create accordingly! I'm trying to use each design of all my designer papers while I wait to be able to pre-order from the Holiday Mini on Aug. 1st (another perk of being a demo).
I used the Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1 texture plate on the top part of this card. I thought that design coordinates perfectly with the Razzleberry paper.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Eastern Blooms, Thank You Kindly
Papers: Whisper white, Melon mambo, Crushed curry, Rich Razzleberry, Razzleberry lemonade dsp
Inks: Melon mambo marker, Crushed curry marker, Rich Razzleberry marker, White craft ink
Accessories: Gold brads, 1 1/4 in square punch, 1 3/8 in square punch, Crushed curry polka dot grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' dimensionals, white embossing powder, heat gun
