CAS Birthday Card

Hope you all had a nice holiday weekend! Lots of yard work and planting for me so I'm a happy girl to be back at stamping! I made this quick card for the Clean & Simple Stamping FTL#142 here.
The base is Pacific Point card stock and I added two papers from the Celebrations DSP. I colored the stamp from On Your Birthday with my Pacific Point and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers and then popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals.  I added some 5/8 inch Real Red grosgrain ribbon. Finally, a 5/8 inch Silver Jumbo brad finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: On Your Birthday
Papers: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Celebrations DSP
Inks: Real Red and Pacific Point Stampin' Write markers
Accessories: Stampin' dimensionals. 5/8 inch Real Red grosgrain ribbon, 5/8 inch Silver Jumbo brad

A Card with No Stamping for Three Challenges

I made this cheerful card without stamping. It was done with the Splitcoast Sketch#334 here. I also used the PPA#95-CAS-Elements of Style-Brads, here. And finally, the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#152 here. The colors to use are Baha Breeze, Peach Parfait and Riding Hood Red. But I just realized I used Poppy Parade instead-oops!

Crumb Cake card stock is the base and then I added some Poppy Parade and DSP from the DSP Pack In-Color. I ran some Crumb Cake thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice embossing folder and then some Baha Breeze, Peach Parfait and Poppy Parade thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I punched out the Poppy circle with the 1 3/4 inch XL Circle punch and used the 2 1/2 inch XL Circle punch on the other two colors. I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch on more In-Color DSP and some Baha Breeze to punch out the flowers. The 1/2 inch Small Circle punch was used on the tree colors too. Finally, I added three Glimmer Brads to finish off the flowers and popped up the centers with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: none
Papers: Whisper White, Baha Breeze, Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade and DSP Pack In-Color

Accessories: 1 3/4 inch and 2 1/2 inch XL Circle punches, 1/2 inch Small Circle punch, Square Lattice and Perfect Polka Dot textured impressions embossing folders, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch, Glimmer brads, Stampin' dimensionals
