Apr 30, 2016 | Friend, Generic, Get Well, Hello, Sneak Peek, Thinking of You |
It's time for another sneak peek from the 2016 – 2017 Annual Catalog. The stamp set Love & Affection is one that I preordered along with the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper, Floral Affection Textured Impressions Embossing Folder & the Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. It is presented as a suite along with matching Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape.
The DSP is gorgeous with shiny Copper Embossing throughout the paper. It is placed on a strip of Watermelon Wonder Cardstock which in turn sits at a jaunty angle on a piece of Whisper Whits C.S that has been embossed with the retiring Honeycomb Texture Impressions Embossing Folder.
A strip of Mint Macron C.S. is embossed with the new Floral Affection Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. After stamping a small flower from the Love & Affection Stamp Set with Crumb Cake Ink on Daffodil Delight Cardstock, I fussy cut the flower and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals on a matching spot on the Mint Macron strip. Notice that the center of the flower is stamped with another image and embossed with the Copper Embossing Powder. Two leaves were also stamped, fussy cut & popped up.
The sentiment from Love & Affection is stamped with Versa Mark Ink on Daffodil Delight C.S., heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder & punched out with the retiring Washi Tape Punch. It is also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

With a new catalog on the horizon, I find myself beginning to panic a bit because of my stamp sets that have not seen ink yet. Today I used just such a set – one that I truly do love called Choose Happiness.
Choose Happiness is a wonderful stamp set with a variety of images. Using a number of different stamps from the set, I created a background collage using Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake & Pear Pizzaz Ink. In addition, I used the speckles stamp from Gorgeous Grunge in order to add a bit more texture..
A small border of color is added to the Very Vanilla Card Base with a Blushing Bride layer. This in turn is topped with the collage piece. The upper right corners of both top layers are scrunched, rolled and separated to enhance the vintage feel of my card. Linen Thread is wrapped around the top of the card 3 times and finished with a double bow.
A Tea Lace Doilie that was sponged with Blushing Bride Ink provides a backdrop for my 3-D flower that is also stamped with Blushing Bride Ink. The flower is made of 3 flowers that are stamped, fussy cut & finally scrunched for dimension. The flowers are layered one on top of the other with a Pearl adding the finishing touch.
The sentiment, also from the Choose Happiness stamp set, is colored with Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake & Pear Pizzaz Stampin' Write Markers. It is punched with the Label Bracket Punch. The border of the sentiment is created by punching 2 pieces with the same punch from Blushing Bride Cardstock. I cut 1 of these labels horizontally and 1 vertically. This allowed me to layer the sentiment so just a hint of the color showed. The sentiment is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Tomorrow I will have another sneak peek for you.

Apr 28, 2016 | Pals Paper Arts, PPA card, Sneak Peek |
Welcome to another Thursday Sketch Challenge with the Pals Paper Arts (PPA). I am delighted to be the designer of our sketch challenge this week. It is a simple sketch and I hope it will encourage you to join us.
Lots of sneak peeks to feast your eyes upon! Let's start with the background paper and work forward. The snappy black & very vanilla pattern paper can be found in the soon to be released Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Pack. In addition, the vibrant brushstroke pattern paper can also be found in the same paper pack. Both are mounted on Basic Black Cardstock showing just a small border.
Check out the sketch below.
The sentiment is another sneak peek from the soon to be released stamp set Painter's Palette. And, it is stamped in Flirty Flamingo Ink - a new 2016 – 2018 In Color. Bet you spotted that strip of Playful Palette Washi Tape placed at the top of the sentiment.
A festive balloon punched with the Balloon Bouquet punch from a sporty polka dot pattern paper found in the Painter's Palette Designer Series Paper Stack is attached to the painter's palette with a piece of Very VanillaThick Baker's Twine.
