Melon Doily Birthday

TGIF Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card I made while working on another challenge, this is NOT the one I ended up using you can see that one tomorrow.

Not alot of stamping going on, I used a piece of the Stampin' Up Flirtatious Speciality Paper, Love this paper, it coordinates with the Delicate Doilies stamp set and the colors in the papers are some of my all time favorites.

The base of my card is Melon Mambo Card stock and then I used another piece of Melon Mambo that I embossed with the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder. I then used a layer of whisper white and then the DSP. I stamped one of the doilies from the so pretty Stampin' Up set called Delicate Doilies with Melon mambo ink onto whisper white. I cut this out and added it to the card with dimesionals. I added over a white doily on the DSP. It looks like it was made to go there. I added some basic rhinestones around the doily and a bit bigger ones in the top corner.

I used some whisper white satin ribbon to wrap around and tie a bow. The sentiment on here comes from the new Stampin Up set called Happiest Birthday Wishes, this is a new Hostess set. 

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

 HAPPY STAMPING!!

OCC......Red & Aqua Color Challenge

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

It is time for another challenge over on the Our Creative Corner Blog. This week our challenge hostess is Sarah Gough from THinkING STAMPS and she has a fun challenge for us,  A Red & Aqua Color Challenge.

 She provided this picture for some inspiration:

Great colors, and I love those pictures!

I wanted to make a very CAS, (Clean & Simple) card, I needed a thank you card to mail to an online customer, so I didn't want it bulky at all.

I started with a base of Pool Party card stock, Love this new in color, and then followed that with some Poppy Parade card stock. I pulled out a new set from Stampin' Up called "Delicate Doilies". I stamped the doilies with Pool Party and Poppy Parade ink. I stamped off the Poppy Parade ink on a few and got a very pretty coral color.

I am not really pleased with my pictures of this card, it is so much prettier IRL, just couldn't get the colors to come out quite right. I added  a rhinestone to the center of the doilies. The sentiment is from the "A Word for You." I stamped that with black stazon.

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!!!!

Paper Players Sketch....on your Birthday

Good Monday Morning Peeps.

Today I a sharing a card I made with the sketch challenge this week on the The Paper Players Blog. I had saw a really pretty card made by the ever so talented Deb from ARTfelt Impressions and I used that for my inspiration on this card. I love the new in color called Wisteria Wonder. I paired it up with some Concord Crush, and the DSP is from the new Flirtatious Speciality Paper Pack.

The base of the card is Wisteria Wonder card stock and then came the strips of DSP backed with Concord Crush card stock. I used the new Perfect Pennants die with Concord Crush card stock for the circle element. I then stamped the doily with wisteria ink onto whisper white card stock. I used my 1-3/4 inch circle punch to punch it out. I added to the Concord Crush piece with some dimensionals.

I added some whisper white satin ribbon and some basic pearls across the flag piece from the sketch. The sentiment is from the "On Your Birthday" stamp set and is stamped with Concord Crush ink. It is a bit blurry but I was almost done with the card and didn't want to start over. It is still very readable so I thought I would just go with it! I added a few more pearls in the top corners. I am not completely happy with this one but it is OK. I might try that sketch again later. I have a couple of card orders to complete this week so I may be a little less active with my post.

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

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made with the color challenge today on Splitcoaststampers. Today's colors are Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Night of Navy with a neutral of your choice.

I had been wanting to play a bit with this new stamp set, Delicate Doilies from Stampin' Up. I got this stamp set in my pre-order stuff from the new catalog that will go live on July 1st. This set is really pretty and has 4 different stamps in it. I had seen a card last week made with this set that I really like, of course I can't find it right now, but it was made with different colors. I used that for my inspiration for this card.

I stamped the doily onto crumb cake with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. I used my aqua painter and night of navy and cherry cobbler ink to color the doily in. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up "Word Play" stamp set. I matted this with night of navy card stock and then with a piece of cherry cobbler card stock. I embossed one end of the cherry cobbler card stock with my big shot and dot embossing folder. I added some pretty night of navy satin ribbon around the card and tied a pretty bow. I just love all the Stampin' Up satin ribbon, it ties beautiful bows. The night of Navy satin is retiring, I just opened my roll of this ribbon for the first time for this card......sigh!

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