SC369....Happy Easter Bunny

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card made using the sketch challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. 

I pulled out a set I got quite awhile back but hadn't used called "Everybunny" It is a seriously cute set from Stampin Up. Every image in this set is adorable, I am sure you will be seeing more from it.

I stamped the bunny image onto some confetti cream card stock and colored her up with my aqua painter and ink pads. I used crumb cake and to match my DSP, calypso coral for her dress.

  

My card base is Crumb Cake card stock and then I followed that with some confetti cream and then the DSP. I embossed this layer with the square lattice EF. The angled strip is more DSP  from the Everyday Enchantment pack that you can get free during SAB with a 50 dollar order, just let me know if you want to place an order and get some of this fab paper!

I added some very vanilla satin ribbon and some basic pearls!

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Happy Hump Day Peeps1

Today I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

The colors are Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade and Basic Black.

I struggled so much putting this card together, I wasted a bunch of card stock trying to put together something that I felt was pleasing to the eye.

I knew right off I wanted to color some of the pretty flowers from the Stampin Up Bordering on Romance stamp set. I stamped the flower spray onto some confetti cream card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.  I stamped the flower two more times and colored and cut out and added to the main piece with dimesionals.

The sentiment on here is from the SAB set Elementary Elegance. The card is a  4-1/4" square. The image is matted with a lucky limeade scallop circle and the basic black card stock is embossed with the square lattice EF. I added a small limeade bow and some basic pearls.

Well, hope you like it, even tho it was difficult to get to the end, I am happy with the outcome.

Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Happy Tuesday Peeps

Today  I am sharing a card I made using a couple of challenges in mind. First ups was the The Paper Players challenge this week is to make a CAS card with a tag. I started out to make a CAS, Clean and Simple, card but as you all may know, I have a hard time with this type of card, I know I have a clean style but simple? not so much and as usual I added too much stuff!, but I DID get the tag part right! LOL!

I had saw this cute little penguin made with punches on LeeAnn Greff's Blog and knew right away I wanted to make him on a valentine Card for hubby. Isn't he adorable?

I also used the LateNightStampers challenge this week which is a Valentine/Love challenge. I used Crumb Cake card stock for the base of my card and also for the tag. The other colors are real red and pretty in pink with some basic black and whisper white thrown in as well.

I hope you like my little Penguin Love card and thanks so much for stopping by today!!

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

OCC....Inspiration Challenge

Happy Saturday Peeps!!! 

It is time for another Our Creative Corner Challenge. 
This week our hostess with the mostest is Lori Rider and she has a fun inspiration challenge for us.

Her is the challenge in her own words:

Please choose at least two elements from the photo and describe how they inspired your card or project.

 Optional: since this is a baby shower dessert table, make something with a baby theme!

Isn't that photo scrumptious?

 I was inspired to use the colors in the piece, I choose, very vanilla, calypso coral, pool party and soft suede and I used some of the Everyday Enchantment  DSP. I was in need of a baby card so this was a great inspiration to get it done. 

The bunny on here is from a retired Stampin Up set called  "A New Little Someone", I stamped the bunny onto some very vanilla card stock with black stazon. I colored the bunny in with soft suede, pool party and calypso coral. The intended receiver of this card is adopting a baby boy so I wanted to make sure this card said "Boy" more than girl, so I colored the bunnies bow and feet pads with the pool party and added just a bit of coral on the inside of the ears and on his cheeks.

I also took inspiration from the photo to put my bunny inside a circle to mimic all the circular elements in the photo, the cakes, the bowls and glasses. I brought in a bit of bling with silver brads on the top corners of the card and mini silver brads on the sentiment piece. 

The sentiment is from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set and I used my word window punch and modern label to make the sentiment tag.

I added some very vanilla satin ribbon across the bottom as well.

Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog 

to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun challenge.

I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do, don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!

Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

SC368.......Valentine Hello

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Just popping in with a really quick post.

I wanted to share this card I made using the sketch challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. It is a really nice sketch and very fun to work with.

The DSP I used is from the Everyday Enchantment that will be available during SAB. You have to get some if it, it is so pretty!!

The little girl is from the Stampin Up Greeting Card Kids stamp set and I stamped her onto some confetti cream card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads.

The sentiment is from another SAB set. 

The card is pretty simple and self explanatory I think, but if you have any questions be sure and let me know!

Thanks for stopping by today!

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

CC358.....Heartfelt Thanks

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!! 

Today I am sharing a card made with the color challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers.

The colors to use are Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette with neutrals of your choice. The dessert option is to make it Valentine themed, with hearts, roses or anything Valentine related.

I used the Stampin Up "Bordering on Romance" stamp set. I stamped with black stazon onto white card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads. the sentiment is from the "Sweetheart" stamp set. 

I used the new edgelit and adorning accents EF for the pink strip along the bottom. I added a few non SU items, the paper doily and the pearl swirls. 

I used some whisper white satin ribbon to tie the bow. The main image is added to the card with some dimesionals. I used my circle and scallop circle nesties to cut out the main image and the mat. I pierced all around the scallop mat with my piercing tool. 

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

CAS153.......With Sympathy

Happy Tuesday peeps!! 

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Clean & Simple challenge this week on Splitcoaststampers. I like how this came out altho clean & simple is not a style I tackle that often as I tend to embellishment to much.

The CAS challenge was a sketch inspired by the card shown using the color block technique shown in the sample.

I had never really tried this technique and I think most people do it by inking an acrylic block and stamping it directly on the paper, I tried  that but really didn't like my results so I took a scrap piece of card stock and cut a square in the middle and used that to create my blocks. I sponged the colors into the opening using Marina Mist and pear Pizzazz.

I then inked up the flower image from the Stampin Up "Inspired by Nature" stamp set with some black ink and stamped it on the card stock.

The sentiment is from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set and is also stamped with black ink.

I matted this piece with some Marina Mist card stock and then added it to the base of Confetti Cream card stock. I added three silver pearls for my only embellishments. 

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
