One Card - Three Challenges

This patriotic card was made for three challenges. First, the PPA#99-CAS-Elements of Style-Stars here. Second, the Splitcoast Color Combination 328 here, to use Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy. And finally, the Splitcoast Sketch#338 here.

I started with a base of Crumb Cake card stock. Then, using the Stamp-a-ma-jig and the Solid Stripe stamp, I inked it up with Cherry Cobbler and stamped it on Cherry Cobbler card stock. I used the soon to retire Star punch to punch out a Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Night of Navy star. I adhered the stars to the Whisper White circle and ran it all thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dots textured impressions embossing folder. I then matted the circle with some Night of Navy. I stamped the star from Pennant Parade in Cherry Cobbler, punched it out with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack and matted it with a Navy circle punched with the 1/2 inch Circle punch. I then popped up the circle with a Stampin dimensional. Finally, I stamped thank you from Short and Sweet in Cherry Cobbler on Crumb Cake and punched it out with the Word Window punch.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Short and Sweet, Solid Stripes, Pennant Parade

Papers: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy

Inks: Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Word Window punch, 1/2 inch Circle punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack, Stampin' dimensional, Perfect Polka-dots embossing folder, Stamp-a-ma-jig

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.

Birthday Box in a Bag

I made this cute cupcake Birthday Box in a Bag for my sister's birthday present. I used the tutorial at Splitcoast here.
The trim is Chocolate Chip card stock and I ran the bottom piece thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added some White Gel pen dots. The Pretty in Pink paper is from the Patterns DSP Subtles Stack. The handles were punched with the XL Round Tab punch and ran thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I punched a Chocolate Chip piece with the 1 3/4 inch XL Scallop Circle punch and added white dots again. I stamped Solid Stripes in Pretty in Pink Classic Ink on Whisper White and punched it out with the 1 3/8 inch Large Circle punch. I used the Build a Cupcake XL Punch to punch out the cupcake. The Chocolate Chip bottom was also run thru the Crimper. The Pretty in Pink top was run thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions folder. And the cherry was punched with Red Glimmer paper and Pear Pizzazz. The entire cupcake was popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, I punched the tabs with the 1/16 inch Circle punch and added some retired 1/2 inch Pretty in Pink striped grosgrain.
