Final Sweet Pea Card

Today is officially the last day of Sweet Pea DSP cards. So I combined challenges for this one.

It's for the Splitcoast sketch #278 here, and the PPA#40 Monochromatic Blues Challenge here.

This came together really fast cuz I just traced the square sizes onto the card stock and papers then cut them out. I stamped the circle piece from Circle Circus in Taken with Teal then punched it out with the 1 inch circle punch. A Taken with Teal piece behind it was punched with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and popped up with Stampin dimensionals. "Get well wishes" from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Taken with Teal, punched with the Word Window punch and layered onto a Modern Label punch.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Circle Circus and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Whisper White, Taken with Teal and Sweet Pea DSP stack

Inks: Taken with Teal

Accessories: 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches, Word Window and Modern Label punches, Stampin dimensionals

More Sweet Pea for a MOJO Sketch

I just can't stop using my Sweet Pea DSP stack and Sweet Pea stitched felt flowers! I'm so sad they'll be gone after tomorrow! So I made this one for the MOJO Monday sketch #136 here.

I started with a Rose Red card stock base and layered on a piece of Pretty in Pink. Then I used some patterned papers from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. "Just for you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink on Rose Red card stock then punched out with the Curly Label punch. The Rose Red scallop circle is from the Scallop Circle #2 Big Shot die and there's a 1 3/4 inch circle punched out of Whisper White. A flower from the Sweet Pea stitched felt tops it off. Finally, a piece of 5/8 inch Pretty in Pink satin ribbon finishes it off.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Whisper white, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Sweet Pea DSP stack

Inks: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Scallop Circle #2 Big Shot die, Sweet Pea stitched felt flowers, 1 3/4 inch circle punch, Curly Label punch, 5/8 inch Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, mini glue dots

A Sketch and Color Challege Combo

This quick and cute graduation card was made using a sketch, SASC44 here, from Stampin Addicts, and Color Combo #268 from Splitcoast here.

The color combo is Barely Banana, Ballet Blue and Old Olive.

I started with a base of Old Olive then layered on a piece of patterned paper from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. Then on each piece of colored card stock I used the star stamp from the Starring You stamp set. I used Barely Banana, Ballet Blue and Old Olive Classic Stamp pads respectively on each rectangle of card stock. The "way to go" sentiment was inked in Old Olive and punched out with the Curly Label punch. Then the stars were stamped in Barely Banana and Ballet Blue. Finally, that label was popped up with Stampin dimensionals.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Starring You

Papers: Whisper white, Barely Banana, Ballet Blue, Old Olive and Sweet Pea DSP stack

Inks: Barely Banana, Ballet Blue and Old Olive Classic stamp pads and Barely Banana and Ballet Blue stampin write markers

Accessories: Curly Label punch and Stampin dimensionals

SC277 Girly Sweet Pea

I needed some baby girl cards so I thought the Sweet Pea DSP stack and coordinating Sweet Pea stitched felt would be perfect! I used the Splitcoast sketch #277 here too.

I started with a Chocolate Chip base then layered on the Sweet Pea DSP according to the sketch. The only stamping is the "it's a girl" from Nursery Necessities which I stamped in Chocolate Chip on textured Pretty in Pink card stock then punched out with the Small Oval punch. I adhered the stitched felt with some glue dots then added a piece of 1/2 inch Pretty in Pink striped grosgrain ribbon.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Nursery Necessities

Papers: Whisper white, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Sweet Pea DSP

Inks: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Small oval punch, Sweet Pea stitched felt flowers, 1/2 inch Pretty in Pink striped grosgrain, glue dots

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

Stamping 411 #147 Rose Butterflies

Here's a spring-y card I made for the Stamping 411 sketch #147 here.
I used the stamp set Flight of the Butterfly with Rose Red and So Saffron inks. The patterned papers are from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. I stamped the sentiment in Rose Red and the little flowers in So Saffron. The butterfly was first stamped in So Saffron and then I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to add the polka-dots in Rose Red. I ran a strip of Rose Red card stock thru the Scallop edge punch and added some dots with a white gel pen. A piece of 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly
Papers: Whisper white, Rose Red, So Saffron and Sweet Pea DSP stack
Inks: Rose Red and So Saffron
Accessories: Scallop edge punch, white gel pen, Stamp-a-ma-jig, 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain, corner rounder punch

Another Splitcoast sketch and More Sweet Pea DSP

Okay, here's another Splitcoast sketch, #273 and more Sweet Pea DSP. As you can see, the paper combinations are endless! I used the Very Thankful set as the main image. I colored the sentiment in with the Chocolate Chip Stampin Write marker and the other images with Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and So Saffron. That's it, so cute and quick! With these great sketches that you can just trace onto your card stock and cut out the images that fast!

PPA#38 Teal Birthday

I'm really gonna miss the Sweet Pea DSP that I used here but it's such a great value cuz you get so many different patterns. I used 4 stamp sets on this one: Birthday Bliss, Party Hearty, Think Happy Thoughts and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

The top and bottom squares were colored with the Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal Stampin Write markers then punched out with the 1 1/4 inch square punch. On the middle square I stamped happy birthday in Taken with Teal then added a popped up present image from Party Hearty that I stamped in Pumpkin Pie. Happy Birthday from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Taken with Teal on Pumpkin Pie card stock then punched out with the Curly Label punch.

Fox and Friends and off to Florida

Here's a simple card using the Fox and Friends set. We're off to Florida for spring break so you won't be seeing any posts for a while.

I really love this stamp set and hope they carry it over to the new catty this summer! I stamped the animals in Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Old Olive and Taken with Teal. I then punched them out with the 1 1/4 inch square punch and layered them onto a coordinating piece of colored card stock punched with the 1 3/8 inch square punch. They were all put on a piece of Taken with Teal that I dressed up with the Ticket Corner punch. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, was stamped in Taken with Teal, punched with the Word Window punch and layered onto the Modern Label punch.

Happy Easter everyone!

I started by running the Old Olive card stock thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions folder. I used a piece of patterned paper from the Sweet Pea DSP stack. I colored in the "F" with a Pretty in Pink marker and the "friend" with a Old Olive marker then cut that circle out with the Coluzzle.

SC272 Happy Sweet Pea

Here's my take on the Splitcoast sketch #272 here.

I used some Sweet Pea DSP. I'll be sad when it retires on April 30th but I'll be using it a lot in the meantime! The only stamping was the sentiment from Whimsical Words that I stamped in Chocolate Chip. I punched that out with the 1 3/4 circle punch then layered it onto other circles cut with the Coluzzle. I used the Trio flower punch to punch the little flowers and added a circle of Old Olive to those centers. Finally, I used a little center of Old Olive from the Sweet Pea stitched felt.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Whimsical Words

Papers: Whisper white, Old Olive, Sahara Sand and Sweet Pea DSP

Inks: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: 1 3/4 inch circle punch, Coluzzle, Trio Flower punch, Sweet Pea stitched felt, stampin dimensionals

The sentiment was stamped in Pumpkin Pie. I added some dots with the White gel pen to the Taken with Teal piece that I ran thru the Scallop edge punch. Then I paper pierced some holes with the piercing tool. A piece of 1/2 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon finishes it off!
