DSC#175-Feel Goods

This weeks Thursday Challenge is a Sketch Pad challenge. Below is the sketch that each of us began with.      

DSC#175

 

My card this week is a combination of the sketch, CASE'ing (Copy And Share Everything) from Miss Mary Fish and color inspiration from a dress I saw while dining out at a new restaurant with my husband. I have to say...I really really like this card.

Weekly Deals-March 29-April 4, 2016

It is that time of the week when Stampin' Up! releases a new list of Weekly Deals. And once again the list is chock full of amazing products.

 


DSC#174-Love is in the Air

 Time for the weekly DOstamper STARS challenge, this week it is a color challenge. Love these colors and they coordinate with so many of the Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! is offering this season. With the first day of Spring earlier this week, I had fresh starts and spring romance on my brain. I'm a true romantic at heart.

 

DSC#174

This week I combined the colors of the challenge with the new Sale-A-Bration (SAB) products (psst...SAB is ending 3/31-don't dilly dally or you will miss out of some beautiful things) and I also was able to use on of the items from the Weekly Deals. Can you figure out which one? Answer will be at the bottom of this post.

Here we go...

 

DSC#174-Pedal Pusher Glitter Tape, Dawn Thomas-Cracked Pot Stamper
Pedal Pusher sparkles with Glitter Tape

 

What do I use to create this beauty? aka Supply List

Stamp Set: Pedal Pusher-FREE! during Sale-A-Bration with $50 purchase (before tax and shipping)

Paper: 2015-2017 In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack (DSP), Subtles DSP, Watermelon Wonder cardstock and Whisper White cardstock

Ink: Basic Gray Archival stampin' pad, Stampin Markers in Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and So Saffron

Accessories: Curvy Corner Trio Punch (one of the Weekly Deals this week), Metallic Glitter Tape (another SAB product you could earn) 

 

It's All in the Details

  • Tip: I used two sides of the Curvy Corner Trio Punch to create interest and dimension on corners-the base and top layer are the same while the middle layer is different. 
  • I did a little fussy cutting with the bicycle because I wanted to show off the fun print of the DSP behind it and I like to use my Stampin' Dimensionals to make it "pop" up.

Weekly Deals-March 22-28, 2016

Good Morning,

The weekly deals once again are FABULOUS!!    

 


DSC#173-Botanical Blooms

It's Thursday Challenge time.

This weeks DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge is a Home Sweet Home challenge. The challenge picture contained a plethora of inspiration as you can see below.

DSC#173

Where does one even begin?

  • Teapots
  • black and white color scheme
  • floral image
  • strings or twine
  • checker board
  • So many paths a person could take, what shall I do?

Alas, I remembered seeing a beautiful card that was created by another very talented demonstrator Dena Rekow and I thought to myself, "Self, you should give that idea a whirl". Well, mine did not turn out exactly the same but I do believe I like it and I hope you do also.

 

DSC#173.2-Botanical Blooms Large
Glimmer Paper with a splash of color

 

What do I need to create this beauty? aka Supply List

Stamp Set: Botanical Blooms

Paper: Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Basic Black Cardstock (CS), Melon Mambo CS, Crushed Curry CS, Old Olive CS, Mossy Meadow CS (retiring at the end of May)

Ink: Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad and Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Pad

Accessories: Botanical Builder Framelits Dies, Gold Metallic Thread, It's My Party Enamel Dots

It's All in the Details

  • Tip: To add a little extra oomph to the leaves I stamped them with the matching ink to create a little more visual interest and texture.
  • Tip: Another way to add texture is to "pop up" some of the leaves and petals with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Bundle and Save 15% when you purchase the Botanical Blooms Bundle which includes the stamp set, framelits dies and designer series paper!

DSC#172-Blackberry Bliss Awesomeness

It's time for the DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge. This weeks challenge was Sketch Pad. We were given a sketch and then had to let our creative juices start flowing. Ready to begin the adventure? Hang onto your hats, here we go!

DSC#172

My husband has mentioned on several occasions that I've never made a card for him and unfortunately he is correct. Please don't tell him I said that "he is correct", I don't want it to go to his head!

Until today.

Today's card is for my sweet supportive husband.

Hoping he loves it as much as I love him!

What do I need to create this beauty? aka Supply List

Stamp Set: Big News

Paper: Shine On Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), 2014-2016 In-Color DSP Stack, Silver Glimmer Paper, Blackberry Bliss cardstock and Whisper White cardstock

Ink: Black Archival stampin' pad

Accessories: Rhinestone Basic Jewels (one of the Weekly Deals this week) and Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack 

 

It's All in the Details

  • Tip: Instead of trimming each layer by 1/4", I created a thinner border by trimming each layer by 1/8". This gives a subtle border of Blackberry Bliss behind the Whisper White and the DSP layers.
