Stamping 411 #133 Medallion Wedding


I needed a wedding card so I used the Medallion stamp for this card and used the Stamping 411 sketch #133 here too.
I also used "For the Newlyweds" from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the "Best Wishes" and scallop image are from Vintage Labels. I stamped the scallop image in Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla then punched it out with the Scallop circle punch. I then stamped "Best Wishes" on Pretty in Pink then punched that out with the 1 inch circle punch and popped it up with some dimensionals. The pink patterned paper is from the Sending Love Specialty DSP. And the 5/8 inch Chocolate Chip satin ribbon is from the Occasions Mini.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Medallion, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Vintage Labels
Papers: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Sending Love Specialty DSP
Inks: Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink
Accessories: 5/8 inch Chocolate Chip satin ribbon, Word window punch, Modern label punch, 1 inch circle punch, Scallop circle punch, 1 3/4 inch circle punch, 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
Papers: Whisper White, So Saffron, Taken with Teal, Sweet Pea DSP stack
Inks: Old Olive, So Saffron, Taken with Teal
Accessories: 5/8 inch Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, Vintage silver brad, blender pen

PPA#24 Happiness


Playing at PPA make me happy so I made this card for the PPA#24 sketch challenge here.
I used the SAB set Vintage Labels. I inked the swirly frame up in Rich Razzleberry and added the sentiment in Old Olive. Then I punched that out with the Wide Oval punch. "Happiness" is from the Warm Words set and was inked up with Whisper White Craft ink and embossed with White embossing powder. I snipped the edges of the Old Olive piece with the Ticket Corner punch. I popped up the whole Razzleberry panel with dimensionals. And this card uses two cute ribbons, 1 1/4 inch Old Olive striped grosgrain and 1/2 inch Rich Razzleberry polka dot grosgrain.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Vintage Labels, Warm Words
Papers: Whisper White, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Cottage Wall DSP
Inks: Whisper white craft ink, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: 1 1/4 inch Old Olive striped grosgrain ribbon and 1/2 inch Rich Razzleberry polka-dot grosgrain, Stampin' dimensionals, Wide oval punch, ticket corner punch

More MOJO and Occasions Mini products


Here's a thank you card for a customer that I made for this week's Mojo Monday sketch#120 here. I used the Sending Love Specialty DSP from the Occasions Mini. The scallop circle was cut out from the Scallop Circle #2 Bigz die. I ran a Real Red piece thru the Scallop Edge punch. The "thank you" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and I stamped that in Real Red on Very Vanilla then used a Real Red marker to color in the small flower image from the thank you stamp in With All My Heart. The main image is also from With All My Heart and I stamped that in Real Red, rock-and-rolled it in Chocolate Chip then added a Pretty in Pink brad in the center.

I also used the 1 inch circle punch, Scallop Edge punch, the 5-Petal flower punch, a Pumpkin Pie felt flower from Flower Fusion and a Chocolate Chip Flower Designer brad. Oh, and I can't forget the 1 inch Chocolate Chip double-stitched grosgrain ribbon.

Stamping 411 Sweet Pea DSP Stack


The Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration are both live today!
So I've used more of the Sweet Pea DSP stack from the Occasions Mini. This card has hardly any stamping because I used the paper as my focal point. I did stamp the dotted circle from Trendy Trees in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Taken with Teal and then punched it out with the 1/2 inch circle punch. There's also a piece of 1 inch double-stitched Rose Red grosgrain ribbon. If only I'd pre-ordered the Sweet Pea stitched felt accents, they match this paper perfectly! And I forgot to mention I made this one for the Stamping 411 sketch #132 here.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Trendy Trees
Papers: Whisper white, Sahara Sand and Sweet Pea DSP stack
Inks: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Taken with Teal

PPA #23 Cottage Wall Calendar


Here's a desk calendar I made for my mom for Christmas that would qualify for the PPA#23 challenge, Anything But a Card here.

I covered chipboard squares with the Cottage Wall DSP. I colored the "enjoy" stamp from Enjoy Every Moment with Old Olive, Orchid Opulence and Rich Razzleberry markers. I stamped and punched out the little flower and added an Old Olive brad to the center. "Life" was stamped in Rich Razzleberry then punched out with the 3/4 inch circle punch which was layered on an Old Olive piece punched out with the 1 inch circle punch. The calendar pages are held together with gold brads and matted on some Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry card stock. And the chipboard is held together with pieces of the 1/2 inch Rich Razzleberry polka dot grosgrain ribbon.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Enjoy Every Moment
