Daisy Thank You

 

Happy Wednesday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card made using the 

Daisy Delight stamp set with matching punch.

Over at the Global Design Project they have a 

Monochromatic Color Challenge:

Any color, I choose to use white and Granite Gray.

I stamped and punched several of the daisy images and layered them together.

I also stamped the center with Granite and added it to the flower center with

a dimensional. 

 

I put it aside to make the rest of the card.

I used the Buffalo Check and Granite Gray ink on Whisper White card stock for my background

piece. I matted with a piece of Granite Gray card stock.

I die cut several leaves from the Wonderful Floral dies with the granite gray as well.

I also die cut a few leaves with Vellum card stock.

The base of the card is thick Whisper White.

I used a strip of Vellum across the middle and added my flower and leaves onto it.

 

The sentiment is from the Daisy set and is tamped with Granite Gray onto Whisper White.

I added it to he card with dimensionals. 

I finished with a few rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by.

Hello Peeps!!!

Another monochromatic card, his one for the challenge at The Paper Players.

It is a Clean and Simple challenge as well.

This may not be as CAS as they want, I never know....I do one I think is and then am told it is not.

Anyway, I made this one wih the same colors as my last one. 

I like the combo of Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.

I used the Dandelion Wishes set for this one.

I stamped the image with Crumb Cake and sentiment with Soft Suede.

My base is Crumb Cake and then a layer of Soft Suede. I added a bit of DSP across the bottom.

I added a twine bow and few basic pearls.

 

Thanks for coming by!

Hello Peeps!!

I have had a busy week, working out of town two days 

and then a short trip to help with the grand babies check up appointments.

I am tired today! LOL!! 

Over at the SIP challenge they have a fun challenge this week.

I love crumb cake with soft suede, so that was what I went with.

 

I used the Bloom by Bloom set.

I off stamped them once to get a lighter image for the leaves and flower heads.

I stamped the dots with Soft Suede.

The sentiment is from the Climbing Rose set and is stamped with Soft Suede as well.

I added a small strip of DSP across the bottom of the image panel and added a twine bow.

 

I used Crumb Cake for my base and followed that with a piece of Soft Suede. I then used the Tufted EF on another piece of Crumb Cake.

I then added my image piece and another piece of Soft Suede at opposite tilts. They are added with dimesionals.

I finished with a few basic rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by today!

Happy Thursday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using this sketch on splitcoaststampers. This was a fun sketch to work with and I decided to go monochromatic. I used always artichoke and very vanilla card stock with just a pop of melon mambo.

The stamp set I used is the Stampin' Up set Just Believe, this set has not gotten much use since I got it so I decided to give it some love for this sketch. I used the small leaf stamp for my main image piece. I added some itty bitty flowers to the leaves with some melon mambo card stock. I used one of the punches from the itty bitty punch pack for the flowers. I made them curl up a bit by using my stylus and rolling it around in the middle of the punched piece. I added some tiny basic pearls to the centers of the flowers.

The tulip frame embossing folder was used to frame the sketch. The designer paper is from the Springtime Vintage paper pack. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was stamped with always artichoke ink onto very vanilla card stock. I used the large oval and scallop oval punch for the sentiment. I added some always artichoke seam binding ribbon and three basic pearls for the finishing touches.

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

Monochromatic In Colors

Edited to add :The altered junior notepads was made with the directions found HERE, by the fabulous Nancy Riley!

I get my JR legal notepads at Office Max and they will cut them in half for a small fee, like a dollar, if I am remembering correctly.

Good Monday Morning Peeps!!! Today I have some fun little projects to share with you and a special announcement. Last week I received an e-mail from Mary Jo asking if I would like to be the first ever Guest Design Team Member for the month of October for LateNightStampers. I was thrilled and of course I said YES!! This weeks challenge is Challenge 90 -- They are in for 2010/11--use our new in colors.

I have to admit I haven't played with the new in colors much, I think with all the new color changes this year, I have just overlooked the incolors a bit, in favor of some of the other colors, so this was a good challenge for me.

I knew right away that I wanted to make some gift sets, I like to have some on hand for unexpected occasions, birthdays, thank yous, whatever. I have really been enjoying making these little altered junior legal note pads. I added a matching card and a bookmark/paperclip and you have a nice little gift set.

Inside pic with bookmark/paperclip tucked into the little pocket.


I went monochromatic with these and that fits the challenge this week at
The Paper Players Challenge Blog. I used three of the new in colors, Poppy Parade, Concord Crush and Peach Parfait. The designer series paper is from the Level 1 hostess 6x6 paper pack. I used the Cherry Blossom Embosslit for the flower on the notepad and on the bookmark. I added a sticky pearl to the center of the flower. The sentiment "just a little note" is from the Apple Blossom stamp set and the sentiments on the cards come from the Occasional Quotes hostess set and the Curly Cute stamp set.

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