New Catalog Cased Card

I saw this New Catalog Case Contest on Gretchen Barron's blog here and I had to play along! The object was to choose one project in the New Catalog and change it up to make it your own. I chose the hello friend card on page 75 because I ordered this darling set and wanted to play with it!
My card has a Calypso Coral card stock base and then I added some Berry Blossoms DSP. I ran a strip of Lucky Limeade thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. I stamped the image from Little Friends with Jet Black StazOn ink on some Watercolor paper. I used my Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Write Markers and Blender pens to color in the image. I stamped happy birthday from that set in Early Espresso on some Wisteria Wonder and cut it out and adhered it to the image. Finally, some 3/8 inch Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Little Friends
Papers: Watercolor Paper, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Berry Blossoms DSP
Inks: Jet Black StazOn, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Write Markers

A Card for a Sketch and a Color Challenge

I made this bright birthday card for the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#158 here, and with the Stamping 411 Sketch#211 here. The colors of the challenge are Pumpkin Pie, Basic Gray and So Saffron.
The base is Pumpkin Pie card stock and I added some DSP from the Playful Polka Dot Simply Scrappin Kit. I ran a piece of Basic Gray thru the Big Shot with the Striped Textured Impression Embossing Folder. I added a piece of Saffron DSP from Just Add Cake. The rectangular Pumpkin Pie polka-dotted piece is a die-cut from the Playful Polka Dot SS Kit. I stamped the balloons from Crazy for Cupcakes in Basic Gray ink on So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Gray card stock. I added the wish big sentiment from Pennant Parade to the Pumpkin Pie one and popped it up with  a Stampin' dimensional.
Finally, some 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain finishes it off.

I started with a base of Crumb Cake card stock and added some Crumb Cake DSP from the Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack. I used the Corner Rounder punch on the bottom corners.The Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch was used to create the flowers with Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limade, Pool Party and Island Indigo card stock. I added a Designer Printed Brad in each color to the center of the flowers and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals. I colored in the Hello stamp from the Posy Punch Hostess Stamp set with the same In-Color Stampin' Write markers and the Crumb Cake Stampin' Write marker.

Today's the day! We can order from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. I've pictured the catty with bookmarks I made to give away to my customers with their new catties. I got the idea from Brenda Quintana, just changed them up a bit for my needs. Here's a link to her original ones on Splitcoast. The new colors are Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder. I used the new set, Pennant Parade and coordinating Petite Pennants Builder punch on the bookmarks. Also, the ribbon is new 1/2 inch Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots grosgrain ribbon. And the bottom row of flowers is from the Printed Petals stamp set and I just colored them in with the new In-Color Stampin' Write markers.
