A Sketch with a Color Combo

This card was created for a sketch and a color combo. The sketch is for Stamping 411 #166 here  and the color combo is for the Splitcoast color combo #286 here.  The three colors are Baha Breeze, Melon Mambo and More Mustard.
So I started with a base of Baha Breeze and added some DSP from Elegant Soiree. There is also Melon Mambo DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights stack. Part of the Baha Breeze under the Melon Mambo was run thru the Scallop edge border punch. I used my Coluzzle to cut out the ovals. I stamped the flowers from Vintage Vogue in Baha, Mambo and Mustard, cutting out the two smaller ones, adding a silver brad and popping them up with Stampin dimensionals. I added a Circle Fire Rhinestone brad to the center of the Baha flower. "Just for you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Baha on Very Vanilla and punched with the Word Window punch.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Vintage Vogue and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Papers: Very Vanilla, Baha Breeze, Melon Mambo, More Mustard, Elegant Soiree DSP, Patterns DSP Brights Stack
Accessories: Word window punch, scallop edge border punch, silver brads, Circle Fire Rhinestone brad, Stampin dimensionals

A ran some DSP from Autumn Spice thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added that to the side. Finally, a piece of 1/8 inch Early Espresso taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

Pals Paper Arts #57 Apple Blossoms

This is my take on PPA#57 here.
I had some leftover Sweet Always DSP on my desk and was inspired by those colors, but I just included Peach Parfait instead of Pumpkin Pie.
I started with a base of Regal Rose. I ran a piece of Chocolate Chip thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Details texturz plate. I added a strip of Peach Parfait DSP from the DSP Pack-In Colors. 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.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Apple Blossoms
Papers: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Peach Parfait, Regal Rose

Two Challenges in One Card

I LOVE this week's sketch at MojoMonday here.
And I thought I'd pair it with the Color Combination over at Splitcoast here. It calls for Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.
I began with a base of Pacific Point and added the striped Pacific Point paper from the Patterns DSP Brights stack. I stamped the animals from Fox and Friends in those three colors, punched them out with the Large 1 1/4 inch square punch and layered them onto coordinating card stock punched with the XL 1 3/8 inch square punch. I used Stampin write markers to color in the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes, punched it with the Word Window punch and layered on a piece of Pacific Point punched with the Modern Label punch. There's a strip of 5/8 inch Old Olive grosgrain with an Old Olive Designer button threaded with a sliver of Pacific Point card stock. Finally, three Old Olive brads finish it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Fox and Friends and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Papers: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Patterns DSP Brights stack
Inks: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Classic Stamp pads and Stampin write markers

Splitcoast Sketch #295 Day of Gratitude Sneak Peek

I was thrilled to be asked to make a card for this week's sketch #295 over here at Splitcoast.
So I used Day of Gratitude and the coordinating Autumn Spice Specialty DSP from the soon to be available, Holiday Mini.
I started with Early Espresso and layered on some of the different designs from Autumn Spice. I punched an Early Espresso circle from the 1 3/8 inch circle punch then some DSP from the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. I colored in the stamp from Day of Gratitude with Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and More Mustard Stampin write markers, cut it out and popped it up on Stampin dimensionals. I stamped the tag from Tiny Tags in Early Espresso, punched it out with the Medium Jewelry Tag punch and tied it on with some Natural Hemp Twine.

Candy Cane Christmas Preview

Here's another sneak peek from the Holiday Mini.
I used a stamp set called A Cute Christmas with the coordinating Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP.
My favorite, Real Red, is the card stock base. Then I ran a piece of Blushing Bride thru the Scallop Edge border punch and added some white dots with a white gel pen. I layered some of the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. I stamped the candy canes from A Cute Christmas in Real Red and colored them in with the Real Red and Blushing Bride Stampin write markers. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I punched all that out with the XL 1 3/4 inch circle punch and added a Real Red XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.

This is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch #165 here.
My Elegant Lines textured impressions embossing folder FINALLY arrived today so I had to play!
I started with a card stock base of Soft Suede. I ran a piece of Baha Breeze thru the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines folder. I also used the Big Shot Scallop Circle #2 die to cut the Soft Suede scalloped circle. I used my Coluzzle to cut a piece of the Soft Suede Elegant Soiree DSP. I stamped the bird and some circles from Always in Baha Breeze on Very Vanilla. The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede on the top of the "my friend" stamp from Perfect Punches. I used the Curly Label punch to punch that, trimmed it and added a Soft Suede piece punched with the Curly Label punch. A piece of retired Soft Suede polka-dot grosgrain and a retired Baha Breeze button finish it off.

I ran the Blushing Bride piece thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. Happy Birthday from On Your Birthday was stamped  in Concord Crush, punched with the Word Window punch and layered onto a Concord Crush piece punched with the Modern Label punch.

PPA#56 Divine Textures

This is my submission for the redesigned look over at PPA here.
I was immediately drawn to the black fabric with pink and green flowers so I used that for my inspiration.
I started with running the Basic Black card stock thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I also used the Vintage Wallpaper folder on the Melon Mambo piece and cut it out with my Coluzzle circle cutter. I stamped the large flower from Vintage Vogue in Basic Black on Very Vanilla and cut it out. I added a green Circle Ice Rhinestone brad to the center and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.I stamped the smaller flower from that set in Melon Mambo, cut it out and added a silver brad to the center. Pear Pizzaz was used to stamp the flower from Printed Petals and then I punched in out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Scallop circle punch. A piece of Love Letter DSP was punched out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Circle punch. The sentiment from Vintage Vogue was stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. Finally, some 1/4 inch Basic Black grosgrain ribbon was threaded thru a silver Flower ribbon slide from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit. Here's my recipe:
