A Quick Card for a Sketch & Color Challenge

Here's a really quick one I made that covers a sketch and color challenge. I used the Clean and Simple Stamping FTL#132 here, and the Splitcoast Color Challenge#315 here. The colors are Pear Pizzazz, Regal Rose and So Saffron.
The base is Whisper White card stock and I rounded the bottom corners with the Corner Rounder punch. I added some Pear Pizzazz DSP from the DSP Pack In-Color. I stamped the stems from Apple Blossom in Pear Pizzazz. The flower on the right from Petal Pizzazz is stamped in Regal Rose and the flower on the left from Apple Blossoms is also stamped in Regal Rose. I stamped the large flower from Apple Blossoms in So Saffron and the little one again but in Pear Pizzazz. I popped up the Pear one with Stampin' dimensionals. The greeting from Apple Blossoms is stamped in Pear Pizzazz. Finally, some 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Petal Pizzazz and Apple Blossoms
Papers: Whisper White, DSP Pack In-Color
Inks: Pear Pizzazz, Regal Rose and So Saffron
Accessories: Corner Rounder punch, Stampin' dimensionals, 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon

Clean and Simple FTL#119 Thinking of You

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the stem and flowers from Apple Blossoms on Whisper White in Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Early Espresso. I stamped the small flower in Early Espresso and punched it out with the 1 inch Circle punch, popped it up with a Stampin dimensional and added a Wild Wasabi square.

I stamped the flower/leaf images from Apple Blossoms three times, using the Stamp-a-ma-jig, in Peach Parfait, Chocolate Chip and  then Regal Rose. The sentiment was stamped in Peach Parfait.

I Can't Stop Making Cards!

I'm having fun playing with my new goodies so I made this card for the Splitcoast color combo #283 here.
The colors are Baha Breeze, Crumb Cake and Poppy Parade.
Poppy Parade is the card stock base on this card and then I added some paper from the Level 1 Hostess product, Designer Series Paper Pack-In Color. I ran Crumb Cake card stock thru the Scallop Edge Border punch and added some white dots with a white gel pen. I also ran Crumb Cake thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder and punched that out with the XL Fancy Flower punch. I stamped the flower from Apple Blossoms in Poppy Parade then punched that out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. A piece of Baha Breeze was punched with the 1 3/4 inch circle punch and the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack. A silver brad is in the center. The entire flower piece was popped up with Stampin' dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade. Finally, a piece of 1/8 inch Marina Mist taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

Splitcoast Sketch #292 Apple Blossoms

Here's my take on the funky Splitcoast Sketch #292 here.
I started with a base of River Rock and used all four patterns of Real Red from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I stamped the circles from Apple Blossoms in River Rock on Whisper White. I then stamped the apple from that set in Real Red and colored the stem with the Old Olive Stampin write marker. I cut that out and then popped that up with Stampin dimensionals. It took more time to figure out the odd shaped papers than anything else!

Inks: River Rock, Real Red, Old Olive Stampin write marker

I stamped the big flowers from Apple Blossoms in Riding Hood Red and Basic Black on Very Vanilla and then used the XL 1 3/8 inch square punch. I also stamped one again in Riding Hood Red and cut out the center. Happy Anniversary from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped on Very Vanilla in Basic Black and punched out with the Large Word Window punch.

Another Apple Blossoms Card for Two Challenges

I just can't seem to put down my new Apple Blossoms set. It's too fun to create with! Plus I'm still waiting for new goodies from the new catty. So I created this card for MOJO146 here and for the Splitcoast Color Challenge #278 here.
I began with a card stock base of Rich Razzleberry. Since I'm lacking in DSP I created my own by running a piece of So Saffron thru the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folder. And I used the Perfect Polka-dot folder on the Baha Breeze strips of card stock. I ran another strip of Baha thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added a piece of 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain ribbon. The large leaves from Apple Blossoms were stamped in Baha Breeze, Rich Razzleberry and So Saffron with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. The little flower was stamped in Razzleberry and a So Saffron brad was added to the center. That was then layered onto a piece of Razzleberry punched with the 1 1/4 inch Large square punch and then a piece of So Saffron punched with the 1 3/8 large square punch. Finally, "just a little note" was stamped in Rich Razzleberry on the bottom right hand corner.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Apple Blossoms
Papers: Whisper White, Baha Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron
Inks: Baha Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron
Accessories: Vintage wallpaper and Perfect polka-dots textured impressions folders, 1 1/4 inch and 1 3/8 inch large square punches, Scallop edge border punch, 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain ribbon, white gel pen, Coluzzle

PPA#49 Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July weekend! This is my take on the PPA#49 Inspiration Challenge here.
I started with a card stock base of Crumb Cake(formerly Kraft). I stamped the circles from the Level 2 Hostess set, Apple Blossoms in Crumb Cake with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I stamped the "happy" definition from Define Your Life in Cherry Cobbler and "July" from Full Calendar in Cherry Cobbler too. I punched out the July with the 1 3/8 in by 5/8 inch large oval punch and layered that onto a Night of Navy punched with the 1 3/4 in by  7/8 inch large oval punch. The number 4 is from the retired Big Deal Numbers and I added the "th" and "of" with the Night of Navy Stampin' write marker. I used the paper piercing tool to pierce some circles to the strip of Whisper White card stock. The Perfect Polka-dots textured impressions folder was used to add the dots to Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Night of Navy card stock. And finally, I punched out three stars with the Extra-Large Star punch and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Apple Blossoms,Define Your Life, Full  Calendar, Big Deal Numbers(retired)
Papers: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy
