The Best for GDP182

When I saw the sketch challenge for the Global Design Project #182, I knew I had to play along.  I love the simple sketch.  I immediately thought of it as perfect for a “scrap” card.  If you have followed me for very long then you know that I love to periodically use the scraps of designer series paper.  I saw this as one of those layouts that would fit the bill easily.

 

Varied Vases, 146644

 

Here is the sketch:

 

I thought a small simple stamping would fit perfectly for this based on the bright DSP I chose to use.  And the Varied Vases, Mary Fish’s Million Dollar Stamp Set fit the bill perfectly.  I pulled Berry Burst from the card stock as the vase and flower color.  The flower is “stamped Off” first to give a touch lighter shade.

The gorgeous DSP is the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It is the thick DSP I used the other day on a card.  I will be using it quite a bit in the next months since it will be retiring with the next annual catalog.  I adore this paper.

All The Best

I am trying to use some older products as talk is beginning about the next Annual Catalog.  I know we will be losing some awesome stamp sets.  So I am working my way back through some sets.  Today’s card is a carry over set from the Holiday Catalog, First Frost.

 

First Frost, 148420

 

I love using stamp sets that have versatility.  This set was in the Holiday Catalog, but obviously has other uses than the winter holidays.  I have paired it with the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration.  I love this paper because of the black and white on the opposite side from the butterflies.

Another product I do not use often enough is the Tailored Tag Punch.  I really like the versatility of it.  It is a tad larger than some of the others, so it holds a bit larger stamped sentiment.  Also, it is very easy to cut a background for it due to the straight sides.  Here I just secured a little bit larger Basic Black piece of card stock and used my paper snips to cut the edge.  Easy Peasy!!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I appreciate it very much.  All of the products are listed at the bottom of the page.  And the Botanical Butterfly DSP is still available for FREE with a $50.00 order through the end of the  month.

Beautiful

Today’s card is showcasing the gorgeous Painted Season stamp set.  If you do not have this set, I strongly suggest you think about it quickly.  It goes away at the end of the month.  I apologize that the photos do not do the definition on the stamps justice.  It is one of the prettiest flowers that is in the Stampin’ Up! products right now.

 

Painted Season 149722

 

As I said above, the photo is not quite clear enough to see the great detail on the flower.  So you will have to trust me.  The other stamps are just as defined.  The leaves I stamped here are in Soft Sea Foam, so they really do not show up well in the photo.  Sorry about that.

This card is done with a technique I have not used in many years.  It goes back to my beginning in stamping and is tearing the paper.  Did you ever make cards with that touch added to them?  For this one I tore a piece of copy paper to lay across the Whisper White piece.  I then stamped the images over the paper.  After I removed the torn piece, I came back and stamped the sentiment and little leaves on each end of it.

The sentiment is from Flowering Desert and just seemed to strike me as perfect.  I thought of these flowers as beautiful from the first one I stamped.  So of course when I saw the sentiment, I knew it was the one to use.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Please come back tomorrow as it is an InKing Royalty Blog Hop!  I know you will not want to miss the great projects that will be showcased by all my fellow team members.  And as always, the complete product list is at the bottom of the page.

All Adorned

I have a quick little 4 X 4 card today to share with you.  I cannot believe Sale-A-Bration is almost over.  It has exceeded sales goals for Stampin’ Up!, and unfortunately resulted in quiet a few sets selling out.  I hate that, but then I thought of a lot of new companies, even QVC, where items are a limited number.  With these , if you want it get it, because it may/will be gone soon.  That has definitely been the case this year with SAB.

Stampin’ Up! has come out with additional sets to cover the empty slots and the one I am sharing today is one of those sets.  At first glance the All Adorned sets looks very plain.  The magic appears once you ink it up and find all of the possibilities.  Today’s card was quick and easy to line up.

 

All Adorned, 149728

 

I began stamping with the corners and did not even use the Stamparatus!  It was so easy to do that I did not think about it until I was almost finished.  I love photopolymer stamps for this reason.  You can see pretty much exactly where you need to stamp.  I began with the 3 7/8 width and stamped the pieces to touch each other and then went back to trim the bottom.  I did not have a plan when I started.  That happens quite often lately!

The sentiment is part of the stamp set and it what originally drew me to the set.  I think that is a great statement for so many purposes.   I punched it with the Everyday Label Punch and then used my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Write Marker to go around the edge to give it some color.  I think this is a great way to differentiate when you have white on white.

Thank you very much for Hopping with me yesterday!  I hope you liked the Easter card.  And I really appreciate you coming back today.  I know my posts are not going to my Facebook Blue Line page for some reason.  I am working on that.

Happy Tails

I hope that you will see the humor in today’s card.  If you have followed me for very long, you will know that I love animals.  When I first saw the new dog and cat stamp sets (Happy Tails and Nine Lives) in the Occasions Catalog, there was never a question of would I purchase them.  I got them as quickly as I could.  I love the stamps, but the sentiments are fabulous as well.

My favorite sentiment is the paw print, and next is “Keep Calm and Wag On” .  We have had several dogs over the years and the last two were Labs.  And they wag ALL The Time!!!  So that was my beginning to this card.

 

Happy Tails Bundle, 150631

 

I really hope the tails look like they are wagging!!!  At least that is my intention.  Sometimes my vision doesn’t always work for others.

To make my wagging tail, I stamped and punched out the puppy.  I then stamped two more tails on scrap paper and fussy cut them.  I used glue dots to place them and then layered the puppy over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This one made me smile and I hope it did you as well.  I have listed all of the supplies at the bottom of the post.  Please consider the join promotion going on now.  The “JOIN” is really just a giant bundle you purchase.  There is NO requirements or pushing for you to ever place another order.  If you love Stampin’ Up! products as I do, I hope you will give me a call and let’s talk about the options.

Part of My Story

I hope you have looked at the new releases from Sale-A-Bration.  Plus, the Organdy Ribbon was restocked and is available, while supplies last!  But one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration sets is the Part of My Story stamp set.  I really love the sentiments.  For today’s card I have mixed some Annual Catalog products with that stamp set.

 

Stampin' Up!, Part of My Story, Love What You Do, Gingham, Story punch, Jackie Beers

Part of My Story, 149719

 

I LOVE this sentiment!  I feel this way about so many people and I believe it would make for an “anytime” type card.  Or as a pick me up type card.  Did you notice the new punch with the sentiment?  It is the new release companion products to SAB.  It is the Story Label Punch.  Another great Punch, YAY!!

The stamp set I used is the Love What You Do stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  It is a favorite just because of the simplicity.  And I don’t think you can go wrong with a flower over a soft background.  The splatter is a technique of flicking the tip of a Stampin’ Write Marker with the inside of it’s lid.  It takes just a bit of careful practice and you will love it.

For this card I paired Powder Pink and Poppy Parade.  I wasn’t sure at first but I am happy with the finished product.  I do love playing around with all of the Stampin’ Up! colors.  I am often surprised at what looks good together.  To add to the colors, the Ombre Ribbon is actually Calypso Coral!  Surprise 🙂

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you will come back tomorrow for a new project.
