Little Pickup

I made this card with the Splitcoast Sketch#350 here.
The base is Real Red card stock and I added papers from the Big Top Birthday DSP. I stamped the truck from Loads of Love and the man and dogs from Loads of Love Accessories in Staz-On black. I colored in the images with my Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede Ink pads and Blender Pens. I stamped the sentiment in Tempting Turquoise and punched it out with the Small Tag punch. I layered it onto a piece of Turquoise punched with the Large Tag punch. I added a Daffodil Delight brad to the center and popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, some 1/4 inch Daffodil Delight grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Big Top Birthday DSP
Inks: Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede Classic Ink pads, Black Staz-On

Splitcoast Sketch #328 Easter Wishes

This card was made using the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge#328 here.
I flipped the sketch so that my truck from Loads of Love would fit.
I started with a base of Poppy Parade and added three papers from the Sunny Garden DSP. I stamped the truck from Loads of Love on Watercolor paper. I also stamped the lady and eggs from Loads of Love Accessories. I used blender pens and the Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade Classic Stamp pads to color in everything. I stamped the greeting from Loads of Love Accessories in Peach Parfait on Very Vanilla and punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch. That was layered onto a Peach Parfait piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch and popped up with a Stampin' dimensional.  Finally, a bit of 1/8 inch Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

Pickup Card for Two Challenges

I'm trying to catch up on challenges so I combined this week's sketch at Stamping 411 here with this week's color combo#254 at Splitcoast here.

I used Loads of Love to stamp the truck in Basic Black on some left over Soft Suede dsp from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty papers. A piece of Soft Suede was ran thru the Big Shot with the Backgrounds #1 texturz plates. I used a piece of Ruby Red from the Hostess Level 1 Patters Pack DSP III.

My Stamp-a-ma-jig came in handy to separate the sentiment. I punched the "pickup" part out with the Small Oval punch and layered that on a piece of Bashful Blue punched with the Large Oval. And the 1/2 inch Bashful Blue striped grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories

Papers: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Ruby Red, Soft Suede, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP, Patterns Pack DSP III

Inks: Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Ruby Red and Soft Suede

Accessories: Small and Large Oval punches. blender pens, 1/2 inch Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon, Backgrounds 1 texturz plate

Mojo Monday #98

Happy Monday means another Mojo Monday Challenge here. And for me another Christmas card. I just pre-ordered from the Holiday Mini and am eagerly awaiting more Christmas goodies. I got some fun stamp sets, designer papers and of course, ribbon too! But for now I used what I had on hand to play with this challenge. The Old Olive patterned paper is actually from the Cottage Wall designer papers. And I ran the Real Red card stock through the Backgrounds 1 texture plate to add the little polka dots to match the Real Red 3/4 inch Polka dot grosgrain ribbon. I colored the Loads of Love truck image with inks and my blender pens. This set is great for lots of occasions and I really should use it more often!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Loads of Love, Loads of Love Accessories

Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Old Olive, Cottage Wall designer papers

Inks: Basic Black, Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Gray

Accessories: Real Red 3/4 inch polka-dot grosgrain ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig,white gel pen, Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates, Scallop Circle #2 bigz die, Coluzzle circle cutter, Stampin' dimensionals, blender pens
