A Card for a Sketch & Color Challenge

I used the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch#174 here, along with the PPA#118 Color Challenge here, to create this card. The colors to use are River Rock, Soft Suede and Early Espresso.
The base is Very Vanilla and I added papers from the Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack. I ran some Soft Suede thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder and used my 1 1/4 inch Square punch to notch out the end. I punched the Espresso circle with the 2 1/2 inch Circle punch and the River Rock scallop with the 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. The 1 3/4 inch Circle punch was used for the Suede circle. I stamped the flower from Flower Fest in Soft Suede and cut it out. I stamped it again on some of the River Rock DSP and cut it out too. I added a Basic Glimmer Brad and popped up the flower with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Flower Fest
Papers: Very Vanilla, River Rock, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack
Inks: Soft Suede
Accessories: Square Lattice embossing folder, 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch, 2 1/2 inch and 1 3/4 inch Circle punches, Basic Glimmer brad and Stampin' dimensionals, 1 1/4 inch Square punch

Double Challenge Card

I made this card with the PPA Color Challenge#109 here. The colors to use are Basic Gray, Calypso Coral and Riding Hood Red. I also used the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL#156 here.
The base is Basic Gray card stock and I added some DSP from the Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack. I stamped the flower from Flower Fest twice in Basic Gray, once on Calypso Coral and once on Riding Hood Red. I cut out the Riding Hood Red piece and added a Designer Printed Brad to the center. Behind the flower is a Riding Hood Red circle that was cut out with the Circles#2 Big Shot die. The Basic Gray circle was punched with the 2 1/2 inch Circle punch and popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped thinking of you from Trendy Trees in Basic Gray. Finally, some 3/8 inch Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon finishes it off.

Splitcoast Sketch#344 Thinking of You

This is for the Splitcoast Sketch#344 here.
I used my Color Coach (again) for the colors of Cherry Cobbler, Wisteria Wonder and Pretty in Pink. It actually suggested Pink Pirouette but I wanted to use some Pretty in Pink Patterns DSP.
The base is Cherry Cobbler and I added Pretty in Pink and the Patterns DSP Subtles Pretty in Pink. I ran some Wisteria Wonder thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. I stamped the flowers from Flower Fest in Cherry Cobbler, Pretty in Pink and Wisteria Wonder. I added some Cherry Cobbler card stock and 1/2 inch Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon. I punched out the Cherry Cobbler circle with the 1 3/4 inch Circle punch, the Wisteria circle with the Circles#2 Big Shot die and the patterned Pretty in Pink piece with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. Thinking of You from Trendy Trees was stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out with the Large Oval punch.

Splitcoast Sketch#341 with In-Colors

Since I had the new In-Colors out, I thought I'd used them with the Splitcoast Sketch#341 here.
My base is Crumb Cake card stock and I added two patterns from the Berry Blossoms DSP. I stamped the flowers from Flower Fest in Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder on Whisper White and matted it with some Lucky Limeade. For a few of the flower centers I stamped them on the same color card stock and cut them out. Thank You from With All My Heart was stamped in Lucky Limeade and punched out with the Word Window punch. That was layered onto a Lucky Limeade piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 3/8 inch Lucky Limeade Ruffled ribbon finishes it off.

CAS Anniversary

I made this card with the Clean & Simple Stamping FTL#147 here.
I started with a Rose Red card stock base and added some papers and die cuts from the Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin kit. I stamped the flower from Flower Fest in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red and cut it out. I stamped it three times in Old Olive and cut out the center. I adhered those flowers to an Old Olive circle punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I stamped "love" from Pennant Parade in Rose Red and punched it out with the 1 inch Circle punch. I added that to a Rose Red piece punched with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch and another Old Olive circle. All circles were popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, I colored the little heart from With All My Heart in Rose Red, cut it out and popped it up with a tiny Stampin' dimensional.

I made this card using the Stamping 411 sketch#202 here and the Splitcoast Color Challenge#322 here, using the colors Blushing Bride, Certainly Celery and So Saffron.
My base is Blushing Bride card stock and I added some paper from the DSP Pack In-Color. I ran a strip of Certainly Celery thru the Scallop Edge Border punch and added some dots with my White Gel pen.  I stamped the flowers and leaves from Flower Fest in Blushing Bride, Certainly Celery and So Saffron on the same color card stock and cut them out. I punched out the So Saffron one with the 5-Petal XL Flower punch. I added a Certainly Celery brad to the center of the So Saffron flower. I popped up the Blushing Bride one with a Stampin' dimensional. I stamped thinking of you from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Blushing Bride, punched it out with the Word Window punch and added a Blushing Bride piece punched with the Modern Label punch.

Flower Fest for Three Challenges

I made this card using the new set, Flower Fest for three challenges. First, the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge#330 here. Second, the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#148 here. This was to use the colors Perfect Plum, So Saffron and Wild Wasabi. And finally, the PPA#91 here, CAS-Buttons. 
I started with Wild Wasabi card stock and stamped the Solid Stripes background stamp in Wild Wasabi, using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the stripes. I used Versamark and the Wild Wasabi Stampin' Emboss powder on the Wasabi flower stamp from Flower Fest. I stamped the butterfly in Perfect Plum and Wild Wasabi and trimmed it down then punched a Perfect Plum piece with the XL Butterfly punch. I stamped the flower in So Saffron, again trimming it down and then punched a So Saffron piece with the XL 5-Petal Flower punch. I used the 1/16 inch Handheld circle punch for the Wasabi center. I popped up the butterfly and flower with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped Happy Mother's Day from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Perfect Plum and punched it out with the Word Window punch. I layered that onto a Perfect Plum piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some So Saffron buttons were threaded with slivers of Wasabi and Plum and adhered with Glue dots.

A Flower Fest & Beyond the Garden DSP Sneak Peek

This card uses some Beyond the Garden DSP and the stamp set, Flower Fest, that will be available May 1st. It was also inspired by two challenges. First, the PPA#90 sketch here.  And second, the SUO Challenge, to make Mother's Day cards, here. 

The base is Melon Mambo card stock and I added some Beyond the Garden DSP, matting it with Wild Wasabi. I also used some Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I punched out the Wasabi circle with the XL 2 1/2 inch Circle punch. The Melon Mambo piece was punched with the XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. The Pretty in Pink circle was cut out with the Circles#2 Big Shot die. And the Melon Mambo circle punched with the Large 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I stamped the flower from Flower Fest twice with Versamark, using both Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi Stampin' emboss powders and heating them up. I colored in the flower with blender pens and Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Wild Wasabi Classic Ink Pads. I then punched that out with the Large 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. The entire set of circles was popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. I stamped Happy Mother's Day from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Melon Mambo and punched it out with the Word Window punch. Finally, some 1/4 inch Pretty in Pink ribbon finishes it off.
