Dotted Friends

Here's a card I made for my workshop back in March and I've realized I haven't posted it yet.

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. A piece of Chocolate Chip card stock was punched with the Scallop trim border punch. Finally, I added a flower and leaves from the Sweet Pea stitched felt. Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Vintage Vogue

Papers: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Sweet Pea DSP

Inks: Pretty in Pink and Old Olive stampin write markers

Accessories: Coluzzle, scallop trim border punch, Perfect Polka Dot textured impressions folder

Stamping 411 #144 Last Easter Card

Finally finished with my Easter cards. I made this one for the Stamping 411 sketch #144 here.

I used the Eggcoutrements and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets with the Shades of Spring DSP.

I started by running a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock thru the Big Shot with the Backgrounds 1 texturz plates. I also ran two pieces of So Saffron thru the Scallop Trim border punch. I stamped the bunny in Pretty in Pink ink and punched it out with the 1 inch circle punch then popped that up with a Stampin dimensional. Happy Easter was stamped in Pretty in Pink then punched out with the Word Window punch. I layered that on to a piece of So Saffron that I snipped out the ends. Finally, a Pretty in Pink designer flower brad finishes it off.

Here's my recipe:

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

MOJO131 More Easter

I hope you're not sick of my Easter cards yet!

I still need a few more so here's one for this week's MojoMonday sketch#131 here.

I'm trying to use up the Shades of Spring DSP and I think these papers work quite nicely. Again, not much stamping. But I did stamp the Easter in So Saffron and layered that on an Orchid piece that was punched with the Wide Oval punch. The ribbon is retired SAB Certainly Celery from last year. Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Eggcoutrements

Papers: Whisper white, Certainly Celery, Orchid Opulence, Shades of Spring DSP

Inks: So Saffron

Accessories: Large Oval punch, retired Certainly Celery SAB ribbon bundle, stampin dimensionals

Stamping 411 #143 Easter

I'm just making more Easter cards and catching up on sketches. This one is for the Stamping 411 sketch#143 here.

I used the Shades of Spring DSP with the Eggcoutrements set. I stamped up the tag image in Orchid Opulence, punched it out with the Small Tag punch and layered that onto a So Saffron piece punched with the Large Tag punch. I added a Sherbet Designer button to the top. The scallop image from Eggcoutrements was stamped in Pretty in Pink. The Saffron ribbon is retired and from SAB last year. The Happy Easter is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Eggcoutrements and Teeny Tiny Wishes

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

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

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

MOJO#130 Birthday Candles

I'm gonna miss the Happy Moments and Whimsical Words sets once they're gone the end of March! I used them for this card for the MojoMonday sketch #130 here.
I stamped the cake in Basic Black then colored it in with Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal Stampin' write markers. I also used Taken with Teal ink and a blender pen. 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!
Here's my recipe:

The 1/2 inch striped Old Olive ribbon finishes it off with a gold brad attached at each end.
