Petal Pizzazz in Concord Crush

I used the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL#146 here  for this graduation card. The recipient's college colors will be purple and white so I used the soon to retire Concord Crush DSP Pack In-Color with the retiring Petal Pizzazz stamp set.
The base is Whisper White card stock and then I added two papers from the DSP Pack In-Color. I stamped the flowers from Petal Pizzazz in Concord Crush and cut out the two smaller ones. I used the 1 3/4 inch XL Scallop Circle punch on the middle flower.All three flowers were popped up with Stampin' dimensionals.  I stamped Congratulations from Occasional Quotes in Concord too. Finally, I used the Paper Piercing tool to add rows of holes to the top and bottom of the card.

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.
