DSP Sale

Did you know some designer series paper is on sale for 15% off until June 30?  I used the Inked Botanicals paper with the Quiet Meadow bundle since I didn't have the Inked Botanicals bundle.  I think the flower looks pretty similar.  This paper is so soft and pretty!  

I started with a Basic White base and layered two panels of the dsp.  I then cut the rectangle from the Scalloped Contour dies, and several flowers from the Quiet Meadow dies.  I used Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry.  The background was sponged with Lost Lagoon (another color listed in the dsp).  I finished with a sentiment label in Calypso Coral and a few dots from the Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.

Zesty!

 I made this as part of a fun challenge on Paper Craft Challenge #PCC521.  I cased the catty with a twist (page 32).  

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle and used a base of Tahitian Tide.  Love this color, but I don't choose it much.  The embossed panel is in Lemon Lime Twist.  I brushed my fruit with a Wink of Stella pen so it looks wet.  The final touch was the piece of the Black & White Gingham Check ribbon and Black Matte Dots.  Let me know what you think!

Cheerful Daisies

It's been a while since I've been able to stamp!  Life gets in the way sometimes. I did manage to squeeze a few cards in over the weekend though.  I'm in love with the Cheerful Daisies suite!  These two are for my team sketch challenge.  The sketch is from Mary Fish at Stampin' Pretty. 

 

I've done opposites here.  The first is on a Basic White card base with Bubble Bath card stock and sentiment label.  The second is on a Bubble Bath base with a piece of designer series paper in Moody Mauve and a white sentiment label stamped in Moody Mauve.  Let me know which one you prefer!

Petal Park

I am in love with the Regency Park designer series paper and the Petal Park bundle.  The Regency Park paper is retiring soon, so if you love it, you should grab it now!   I used a Basic White base, a Night of Navy panel (3-1/2 x 5), a dsp panel (3-7/8 x 4-3/4).  The largest stitched circle was used in Night of Navy to frame the sentiment from Something Fancy.  I simply stamped and punched the flowers in Balmy Blue and Night of Navy.  Then I took a Mango Melody Stampin' Blend and filled in the centers.  I embellished with the retired Fine Sparkle Adhesive gems that were lightly colored in with the blends.

I made these three cards using the By the Bay Suite.  The collection is gorgeous, but it is retiring.  If you love the ocean as much as I do, go to my store link and see if you can grab one before they're gone.  I used a sketch from Paper Craft Crew (#511) for my team challenge in April. It was a fun sketch to work with.  I made one and proceeded to make three or four more!  The Seashells 3D embossing folder is on clearance.  Grab one of those too.  It's so pretty!!

Cocktails, anyone??

I wanted to make a fun birthday card for my cousin who has been through a LOT lately.  I decided to make a card with the Nothing's Better Than stamp set and Love You More Than dies.  I had so much fun coloring in the drinks, I had to make a second card for my husband's birthday (not 'til May, but at least it's done!).   I also used Enjoy the Journey dsp for the background on both.  I love this paper.  The colors are gorgeous!

For my husband's card, I used the Diorama Dies to mimic our pool.  He loves blue drinks! 

Here is my cousin's card.  I don't think you can see the Wink of Stella.  It makes the cocktails look more realistic.  Can't wait for summer!

Queen Bee

 The Queen Bee bundle caught my eye the first time through the catalog.  I love the gorgeous bee!  I finally got around to inking it up, and challenged myself to go outside the box.  I’m a clean and simple stamper, and find it difficult to make things in natural colors, and in a vintage look.  I’m pretty happy with the way it came out, and happy I went outside the box.  This is about as grungy as I get, unless it's a masculine card. 

These are more my normal style.  I used the Hive 3D embossing folder along with some Perfectly Penciled designer series paper. I love this dsp!!  

I'm not sure if you can see it, but I've added a layer of vellum wings to this one.  Both were lightly colored in with Stampin' Blends. Let me know which style you prefer!

This bundle is out of stock, but coming back soon (first week of April).   Shop for this and other products in my online store. If you spend $50 in my store, you will receive a free card kit, minus the stamping per Stampin’ Up! rules.
