PPA#35 Gift Card Holder

This little thing is a gift card holder and it qualifies for the PPA#35 challenge-Anything But a Card.

To make the holder I used a piece of Soft Suede card stock cut to 6 1/2 by 4 inches. I scored that at 2 1/4 and 5 1/4 and attached the bottom flap with eyelets so you can slide the gift card in the flap. Some velcro dots keep the flap closed.

I used papers and the die cut from The Write Stuff Specialty DSP. The flowers from Little Flowers were stamped in Old Olive, Ruby Red and Soft Suede and punched out with the 1/2 inch circle punch. Best Wishes from Vintage Labels was stamped in Crushed Curry. A piece of 1/2 inch Old Olive striped grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Vintage Labels and Little Flowers

Papers: Whisper White, Soft Suede and The Write Stuff Specialty DSP

Inks: Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Ruby Red and Soft Suede

Accessories: eyelets, 1/2 inch circle punch, 1/2 inch Old Olive striped grosgrain, velcro dots

Pink Polka-dot Easter

Just chipping away at my Easter cards and I used a Mojo sketch from a few weeks ago. It's Mojo sketch #128 here.

There's not much stamping other than the Vintage Label and Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Then I punched that out with the Curly Label punch. I also ran a strip of Pretty in Pink thru the Scallop edge punch. The flower was cut out of a piece of Shades of Spring DSP. The Whisper White circle was stamped with Pretty in Pink ink with Dot, Dot, Dot. A So Saffron flower brad is in the middle of the big flower and two Circle Fire Rhinestone brads finish it off.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Dot Dot Dot, Vintage Labels

Papers: Whisper white, Pretty in Pink, Shades of Spring DSP

Inks: Pretty in Pink

Accessories: Curly label punch, scallop edge punch, coluzzle, flower assortment brads, Circle Fire Rhinestone brads

I stamped the scalloped label in Rose Red on Rose Red card stock then punched it out with the Scallop Circle punch. I stamped the Happy Bday in Soft Suede on Whisper White then punched that with the 1 inch circle punch and popped it up with Stampin Dimensionals. The flowers were punched with the Boho Blossoms punch in Bermuda Bay, Sahara Sand and Soft Suede then adhered with a silver brad.

Dusty Durango Vintage Label Birthday

You can never have enough birthday cards on hand so I made this one with the SAB set, Vintage Labels. I started by running the Dusty Durango base thru the Big Shot with the diamond texturz plate(from the Backgrounds 1 set). Then I used a piece of Old Olive Patterns DSP. I pierced some holes thru the strip of Soft Suede and added that to the bottom of the Old Olive piece. I stamped the label in Soft Suede on Whisper White, punched that out with the Curly Label punch and trimmed it down a bit. Then stamped Happy Bday in Old Olive.That was layered on a piece of Soft Suede, again punched with the Curly Label. Finally, a piece of 1/2 inch Dusty Durango polka-dot grosgrain was added and the label popped up on Stampin' dimensionals.

Get Well Card with Sweet Pea Papers

I'm still digging into my Sweet Pea DSP stack.

Here's some more of the cute papers. This is actually a get well card. I was inspired by a card design that I saw in this month's Stampin Success, a publication exclusively for Stampin' UP! demonstrators. I used blender pens to color in the image from Fun and Fast Notes, using Old Olive, So Saffron and Taken with Teal stamp pads. I used the Vintage Labels stamp set "For You" image on the Taken with Teal piece. There's a silver brad from the Vintage brads. And a piece of the 5/8 inch Old Olive grosgrain ribbon finishes off the card.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Fun and Fast Notes, Vintage Labels

Vintage Vogue Wedding gift bag and card

Here's another sneak peek from the Occasions Mini and the Sale-a-bration sets. I made this gift bag and card for a bridal shower that I'm attending on Sunday. I took inspiration from the bride's bath towel color on her registry. It's closest to Sage Shadow so I used that with Chocolate Chip and Rich Razzleberry.

The new sets I used are Vintage Vogue (Occasions Mini) and Vintage Labels (Sale-a-bration). The flowers from Vintage Vogue were stamped in the three colors and the sentiment, "Life happens. Love helps" was stamped in Razzleberry. The oval image from Vintage Labels was stamped in Razzleberry and the "Best Wishes" stamped in Chocolate Chip.

The card uses a stamp from Fun and Fast Notes and the Backgrounds 1 texturz plates. I colored the image with blender pens and added a bit of the 1/2 inch Rich Razzleberry polka-dot grosgrain ribbon.
