May 23, 2014 | Birthday, Thank You |
As the Stampin' Up! year comes to a close, it is time to say goodbye to some favorites. During the course of the next few weeks, I will be showcasing items that you may want to get before they are gone. If you have not subscribed to my blog, please consider subscribing so you don't miss any posts.
Today I am featuring the Afternoon Picnic dsp currently on the retired sale list while supplies last and the stamp set So Very Grateful from the Celebrate the Everyday Mini Catalog which ends on June 1, 2014.
Rich Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana, Very Vanilla & an accent of Daffodil Delight form my color palette for this card. The flower image is stamped with Memento Black Ink. I used the Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive Blendabilities to color the flower. If you are interested in coloring with the blendabilities, then you may want to pick up So Very Grateful stamp set before it is no longer available. Although this is a quick card to make, I feel that it has some pizazz too.
After coloring the flower, i cut it out with an Oval Collection Framelit. A Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write Marker provides the faux stitching around the edges of the oval. The background paper from Afternoon Picnic adds a nice contrast for my flower. A few strips of Rich Razzleberry cardstock add some pop to my card.
Oops, I just noticed that I lost a Daffodil delight Candy Dot sometime before I photograped my card. There were actually 3 Candy Dots on the left strip. I used Daffodil delight to pick up the same color from the center of the flowers.

May 22, 2014 | Masculine |
Hey Blog friends! Time for another sketch challenge from the ever so talented Nicole Watt.
With Father's day around the corner, I decided to create a masculine card for the challenge. The 3 panels on the right of the sketch reminded me of a hanging sign. I used the Look Up to Father stamp along with a sentiment fromTeeny Tiny Wishes to adorn several of the panels. The middle panel is just embossed with the Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
The main image is the tree from the Look Up to Father stamp. First I used the brush end of the Wild Wasabi Stampin' Write Marker to color the tree. Folllow this with a random coloring using the Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker. The tree trunk was colored with the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker. Ink the edges of this piece with Early Espresso Ink.
This image was then cut out with the Window Frames Framelits Collection. It was matted with Wild Wasabi cardstock that was cut with the next largest Window Frames Collection Framelit.
The background is created with the Hardwood Stamp and Early Espresso Ink on Sahara Sand cardstock. I nipped the corners with the 1/2-inch circle punch.
Finally, the sign was strung with Linen Thread for a more realistic sign look. The bow is tied around a Candy Dot Base that is adorned with a Wild Wasabi Candy dot.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Remember that Stampin' Up! has reduced prices by 25% – 50% on their retired lists. Be sure to check it out!
