A Ginger Snap! PPA 159

May 16, 2013 | Birthday | 5 comments

Over at PPA, they have a sketch challenge created by the talented Margaret Moody.   My card today is for that challenge.  Take a look at the sketch and then my card.  I did take a wee bit of artistic interpretation by moving pieces 4 & 5 toward the top of my card.

 

You Rule rt

You Rule left

Wouldn't this card be a hoot to send to yourself?  And even better,  having a day to spend anyway you chose!  What would be on your fun day list? 

Other than cardstock, the Epic Day This and That designer paper from Stampin' Up! is what I used.  Add a touch of Pool Party & Calypso Coral cardstock with a Basic Gray card base and you are ready to embellish. 

The sentiment and the crown  from the stamp set You Rule, are both embossed with gold embossing powder for bling  fitting a Queen!   Add some pearls cuz every girl loves jewels! 

If you look close, notice the dots in the "green/blue" piece of dsp.  That theme is enhanced with the In-Color Brads in the lower right corner.

Although I didn't post a picture of the inside of the card, it is lined to cover up the backs of the brads.

Let me know what you think of my card by leaving a comment below.  I appreciate and read each and every comment.

A Ginger Snap! Wish Big!

May 15, 2013 | Uncategorized | 4 comments

Some of my favorites are retiring so I wanted to use them one last time.  Word Play & Patio Party paper make creating a birthday card easy and fun.

Wish Big Fancy rt
The vibrant colors are a perfect match to the 3/8" StitchedIn-Color ribbon which I used to create banners.  The Summer Starfruit Polka Dotted dsp from the Patio Party pack is  bright but still subtle enough for a masculine card.

Wish big fancy turned
Baja Breeze & Midnight Muse cardstock  seem to be my go to colors for masculine cards.  I will really miss Baja Breeze when it retires the end of the month.  The solid pieces of cardstock were all embossed with different embossing folders to add some dimension and texture to the card.

Wish big fancy flat
The Hung Up Cute Clips are a fun way to draw attention to the sentiment from Word Play.  A touch of 3/8" Stitched Raspberry Ripple Ribbon gives it a finished look.  The Owl Builder Punch provides a nice size heart to the card.

What is  your favorite designer paper and stamp set from the retiring catalog?  Honestly, I have more favorites!  It often just depends on what I am using at the time.
