Dynamic Duos.....Happy Birthday

Happy Hump Day Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card made using the Dynamic Duos Challenge this week.

This week it is Daffodil Delight and Basic Black.

 I CASED a card I made last summer, you can see it HERE.

I love this retiring flower set from Stampin Up called "Flower Fest".

I stamped the large flower four times onto daffodil delight card stock with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. I cut the flower out reducing one layer each time and used dimesionals between each layer.

The sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set and I used my stamp a ma jig to line it up.

The DSP is from the Floral District paper pack and will be available June 1st.

I added some Little Leaves using black card stock, also some daffodil satin ribbon and black brads was used.

Well, that is all from me, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!

P.S. for all those who said they would like a tutorial on the pinwheel, I will get that together and have for you later this week, hopefully.

Good Friday Morning Peeps!!

I was up early yesterday and feeling so much better and was anxious to create something.

 I started looking around for a challenge to participate in and to inspire.

 I came across this challenge on Create with Connie and Mary Blog, it is a special two week challenge with a color and sketch challenge in one, you could do the color or the sketch or both.

 I decided to try the color challenge, those are the ones I struggle with more.

 So the colors to use are basic gray, pumpkin pie, and so saffron and I threw in the neutral of very vanilla.

I started with a base of Basic Gray and then followed that with some very vanilla. I then used the Tulip Frame EF on some more basic gray for the next layer.

I then decided to make a pretty layered flower. I stamped the flower from the Stampin' Up Flower Fest card onto some so saffron card stock with versamark and embossed with my white embossing powder.  I then cut out the layers, decreasing one row each time, and layered them together with dimesionals. I used my aqua painter and some pumpkin pie ink to color the flower a bit.

The center is made up of Pumpkin Pie card stock followed by some DS paper from the retired Sweet & Sour Speciality Pack and Very Vanilla card stock. I added some So Saffron scallops made with the Tasteful Trim Die. The sentiment is from the "Curly Cute" stamp set and is stamped with basic gray ink, but looks black. I finished it off with some Pumpkin Pie Satin ribbon and some silver pearls (non SU).

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

 HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Season's Greetings Notepad

Happy Hump Day Peeps!!!

Sorry for the no post yesterday, I am not motivated this week and I really need to be I have an etsy order to fill, my sweet Sunday card to make and my regular post to keep up with and I am contemplating planning a get together on the 30Th for some girls stamping! What a time to lose the motivation to create....LOL! I just want to do nothing!! I hate in when this happens!! LOL!

Well, on to what I have for you today. I actually made this a while back, I found this little note pad at my local dollar general and I knew I wanted to try to make a cover for it. I like to have these little things on hand for last minute gifts. The pad measures 4 x 6, so it is a great size to carry in your tote. I made a inside pocket to hold receipts, stamps, whatever.

Inside shot:



I used real red card stock for the base, it is 6-1/4 inches by 8-5/8 inches. I scored at 4-1/8 and 4-1/2. Easy Peasy! I used the little Christmas girl from the Greeting Card Kids stamp set. I stamped with black stazon onto whisper white and colored in with my aqua painter and my ink pads. The paper is from the "Candy Cane" DS pack. The sentiment is from "Curly Cute". I added some red rick-rack from my stash. Next one I want to add a pen holder and maybe some brads to the inside pocket.

Well, I am off to get things going around here, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!
