DSC#190: Lots of Love Host Set

Time for another Thursday Challenge. This week it is a Product Spotlight: Host Sets

Stampin' Up! is offering 6 Exclusive Host-Only items this year and they are absolutely lovely.

 

Fabulous Flora Wood-Mount Stamp Set	Fabulous Flora Clear-Mount Stamp Set	Love You Lots Wood-Mount Stamp Set	Love You Lots Clear-Mount Stamp Set
Pun Intended Photopolymer Stamp Set	Gift Of Love Photopolymer Stamp Set	Time Of Year Photopolymer Stamp Set	Basket For You Photopolymer Stamp Set

 

Aren't they magnificent?

I love the variety of images, sentiments and fonts.

I couldn't resist that sweet little frog in the "Love You Lots" set.

Love this color-Emerald Envy!

 

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

Stamp Set: Love You Lots

Paper:  Watercolor Paper, Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Playful Palette DSP Stack

Ink: Jet Black Stazon Ink and Emerald Envy

Embellishments:  3/8" Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon

Tools:  Stampin' Spritzer, Aqua Painter, Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Fast Fuse, Stampin' Dimensionals 

It's All in the Details

Lots of details make this lil fella so stinking' irresistible...

hoppin' off the card

• First, there are actually 3 frogs not 1-layered using Stampin' Dimensionals to give him some "lift"
• Secondly, I used a technique that I'm calling the "Spritz & Swish" on the top 2 layers before I snipped and layered them.

"Spritz & Swish"-you're probably wondering if I've lost my ever lovin' pea pickin' mind!

I haven't. But I do love this technique.

• Simply "spritz" your watercolor paper with water-making sure it is relatively moist.
• "Swish" on some ink using your Aqua Painter.
• And then "spritz" a little more water on.
• Let dry completely
• Stamp your image and proceed
• Enjoy you one of a kind masterpiece!

I love this technique for lots of reasons but mostly because it is fun!

No 2 pieces will turn out the same-kinda like us, we are each unique and beautiful.

Beautifully different or differently Beautiful?

Garden in Bloom-Alternate

So...

This week I made not 1 but 2 cards for the Thursday Challenge.

One I loved and the other I like a lot but it was not my favorite. I decided to post the one I liked a lot because it had more of the colors that were included in the inspiration pic.

After mulling it over in my head for a couple days, I decided I should really share the card that I loved.

If you saw the card from the Thursday challenge, you may recognize that is the same but different

Same design...different colors!

 

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

Stamp Set:  Garden in Bloom

Paper:  Chocolate Chip, Pool Party, Thick Whisper White and Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Sweet Sugarplum and Pool Party

Tools:  Big Shot, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Stampin' Trimmer, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Fast Fuse Adhesive

It's All in the Details

• If you look closely at the word "hope", you will see that there is the glimmer paper layered on top of Chocolate Chip--I did this to create a little lift and the illusion of a shadow. Adds just a little extra to the card.

I know the alternate card is very subtly different but I wanted to share it with you.

 

Blessings and Joy to you,

Dawn

DSC#188: Reason for the Season-Christmas in July

What could be better than Christmas in July?

This week's color challenge has filled my head with thoughts of Christmas and cooler temperatures.

 

I really enjoyed this week's challenge. I was able to day dream about Christmas decorations, packages under the tree and family gathered around the dinner table enjoy each other's company.  Since I do not LOVE wrapping gifts, in fact I usually try to see if I can convince someone else to do it...I thought I would try to come up with a gift wrapping idea that I do LOVE. And this was the result...


 

 

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

Stamp Set: Reason for the Season

Paper: This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper, Cherry Cobbler CS (cardstock), Garden Green CS, Crushed Curry CS and Very Vanilla CS

Ink: Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green

Embellishments:  Linen Thread, Copper Metallic Thread, Wink of Stella-Clear and Rhinestones

Tools: Big Shot, Mini Treat Bag Thinlits, Magnetic Platform, Festive Flower Builder Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Fast Fuse, Multi-purpose Liquid Glue

 

It's All in the Details:

• I added a "swish" of the Wink of Stella to each of the flower petals for a little extra sparkle.
• Check out this video from Stampin' Up!

 

• lots of great tips on how to use this stamp set and assemble poinsettias
