PPA#68 Rose Wallpaper

I made this anniversary card for the PPA#68 Inspiration Challenge here.
I saw this picture, was drawn to the tablecloth, and thought of Rose Red and Perfect Plum together.
So I started with a base of Rose Red and ran that thru the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folder. I also used the Corner rounder punch on the bottom corners. I colored the circle image from Artistic Etchings with my Rose Red Stampin write marker then used the Perfect Plum marker on the edge. I trimmed that down a bit and added it to a Rose Red piece punched with the 1 3/ 4 XL circle punch. Then I added a Perfect Plum piece punched with the 2 3/8 inch XL scallop circle punch. I popped that all up with Stampin dimensionals. I ran a strip of Perfect Plum thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added dots to both Plum pieces with the White gel pen. I stamped Amour from Artistic Etchings in Perfect Plum on the Plum piece. Finally, some 5/8 inch Very Vanilla grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Artistic Etchings
Papers: Very Vanilla, Rose Red and Perfect Plum
Inks: Rose Red and Perfect Plum Stampin write markers
Accessories: Scallop edge border punch, 1 3/4 in XL Circle punch, 2 3/8 in XL Scallop circle punch, corner rounder punch, white gel pen, Stampin dimensionals, 5/8 inch Very Vanilla grosgrain, Vintage Wallpaper folder

A Two-for-One Card

This card covers two challenges at Splitcoast.
First, the Color Combo #296 here of Poppy Parade, Tempting Turquoise and White. And second, the Sketch Challenge #306 here.  I took a little creative liberty and added a tad of Early Espresso too.
I started with a base of Whisper White. I ran some Poppy Parade thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the word stamp from On a Pedestal on the bottom of the Poppy Parade. I matted that with Early Espresso. I colored in the cupcake with my Poppy Parade and Tempting Turquoise Stampin write markers then also used the Early Espresso marker on the cherry. I popped the cherry up with a tiny Stampin dimensional. I punched out the cupcake with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch, added a Turquoise piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch XL circle punch, a Poppy circle from the Circles #2 Bigz die and an Espresso piece punched with the 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch. I also added dots with my White gel pen. A strip of Tempting Turquoise from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack finishes it off.

Non-traditional Clean & Simple Christmas Card

So this one is for the Clean & Simple #92 challenge over at Splitcoast here. It was to make a CAS card using Pink Krafty Olives for the colors with an option of Marina Mist(I used Baha Breeze instead).
I started by running the Crumb Cake card stock thru the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry textured impressions embossing folder. I sponged some Whisper White Craft ink on the snowflakes to make them pop a bit. I punched out some Baha Breeze DSP from Elegant Soiree with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack and added them to three of the snowflakes. I used an Old Olive Glimmer Brights brad in the center of the largest snowflake. I drew some white lines with my White gel pen. Very Merry from Short and Sweet was stamped in Old Olive. Finally, I added some 1/2 inch Blushing Bride stitched-poly ribbon.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Short & Sweet
Papers: Crumb Cake, Elegant Soiree DSP
Inks: White craft ink, Old Olive
Accessories: White gel pen, Northern Flurry embossing folder, Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack, Old Olive Brights Glimmer brad. 1/2 inch Blushing Bride stitched-poly ribbon

MOJO#164 Merry & Bright

This card is for the MojoMonday sketch#164 here.
The base is Baha Breeze with some Real Red layered on to that. I used three different patterns from the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. I stamped the snowman from A Cute Christmas in Basic Black on Whisper White and colored it with the Baha Breeze, Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin write markers. Then I used my Blender pen and the Baha Breeze stamp pad to color some "faux snow".  I punched that out with the XL 1 3/4 inch circle punch and used the Circles #2 Big Shot die to cut out the Baha Breeze circle. I used my Real Red Stampin write marker to color in "Merry & Bright" from Season of Joy , matted it with some Real Red card stock and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, some 5/8 inch Real Red grosgrain finishes it off.

I stamped and cut out the round flowers in Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist. I popped them all up with Stampin dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Apple Blossoms in Marina Mist. I then colored half of the friend stamp from Perfect Punches with my Poppy Parade Stampin write marker, punched it with the Curly Label punch and trimmed it down a little bit. I then layered that onto a Poppy Parade piece punched with the Curly Label punch. Finally, a piece of 1/2 inch Poppy Parade stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.

I stamped them in Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. I also stamped one of the little flowers in Daffodil Delight, punched it out with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack and popped it up with a Stampin dimensional.

SUO Challenge #5 Punch Art Thanks

I made a card for the SUO Challenge#5, Punch Art, here.
I started with a base of Daffodil Delight and added some Greenhouse Gala DSP. That was layered on to some Chocolate Chip card stock. I ran one edge of the Chocolate Chip thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added dots with the White gel pen. I colored the flower stamp from Friends Never Fade with my Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Pear Pizzazz Stampin write markers and stamped that on Whisper White. I ran a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions folder. I then used the Ornament punch to punch out the "vase". I stamped thank you from Short & Sweet in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White and punched that out with the Word Window punch. I layered that onto a Daffodil Delight piece punched with the Modern Label punch and adhered that piece over the Chocolate Chip ornament piece, making it look like a vase. A piece of 1/8 inch Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

I used my Scallop Square bigz die to cut a square from Early Espresso and just trimmed it down for a mat. On Very Vanilla I stamped the cake base from On a Pedestal in Early Espresso. I used my markers to color the cake and cherry in Riding Hood Red and Early Espresso. I used the Decorative Label punch on some more Love Letter DSP. I stamped the sentiment from Party Hearty in Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla. I punched that out with the Word Window punch and layered that on to a Riding Hood Red piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, I added some retired Riding Hood Red ribbon.
