Splitcoast Stampers Card Sketch #217

I thought I'd actually try a card sketch challenge.

Check out this card sketch challenge on Splitcoast.

Aren't these fresh and funky papers?

I pretty much love all of Stampin' Up's designer series papers!It's hard to decide which side to use. I think I'm a dsp hoarder if there is such a thing!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Darling Dots, Sweet Sentiments

Papers: Good Morning Sunshine dsp, whisper white, chocolate chip, kiwi kiss

Inks: Chocolate chip, kiwi kiss and choc chip marker, summer sun markerAccessories: 1 1/4 inch square punch, word window punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Goody Goody Gumdrops

Who doesn't love ice cream? And polka dots/

It's been awhile! I've been crazy busy with the girls' volleyball and basketball schedules. Last weekend was the only weekend until Easter that there was no volleyball.

Here's a card I made with the Level 3 set, Goody Goody Gumdrops. I love these colors together. Take the ribbon and the scalloped edge away and this could even be for a boy too.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Goody Goody Gumdrops,Little Flowers,Polka dot background

Papers: Whisper white, kraft, baja breeze, real red

Inks: kraft, baja breeze, real red

Accessories: baja breeze 5/8 " striped grosgrain ribbon, scalloped edge punch, 1/2" circle punch

Sweet Always monogram note card set

These are pics of the monogramed note card set I made for my sister's 40th birthday. She's a big fan of pink and really likes orange too, so I think of her when using the Sweet Always dsp.

The holder for the notes is just an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of Regal Rose cardstock scored in half at 5 1/2 inches. Then it's scored at 2 in. from the bottom to form the pocket. I used two different patterns from the Sweet Always papers. The flowers are from Big Flowers and Always. The "notes" uses the Short Order Alpha and a pink pirouette punched out with the Key Tag. To keep it closed I used 5/8 in. chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon.

The note cards are made using an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of regal rose, cut in quarters. I used a 1 in. strip of the brown polka dots paper, adhered that to the Whisper white cardstock. I stamped the Contempo Alphabet "m" in regal rose on whisper white, punched it out with the 1 1/4 in. circle punch, layered that on a 1 3/8 in. chocolate chip circle and then onto a regal rose scalloped circle punch. The matching envelope has the flower from the Always set on the flap.

Stamps: Big Flowers, Always, Contempo Alphabet, Short Order Alphabet

Papers: Sweet Always dsp, Whisper White, Regal rose, Chocolate chip, Pumpkin Pie, Pink Pirouette

Inks: Chocolate chip, regal rose, pumpkin pie

Accessories: Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8 in.circle punch, 1 1/4 in. circle punch, 1 in. circle punch, 1/2 in. circle punch, key tag punch, chocolate chip 5/8 in grosgrain ribbon

HAPPY DAY! My first post!

It's a Happy Day for me! It's my first post to my new blog. I thought I'd start with a card I made that showcases all of Stampin' Up's In Colors. This card also uses the WOW Flowers stamp set and the Button Boquet Designer Buttons. The sentiments are from the retired Occasions Collection Level 2 set but there are tons of greetings sets in the Spring Summer Idea Book that you could use instead.
