Polka Dot Happy with Curtain Call Challenge

Good morning, its hump day!  Officially #1 week until I leave to head to Utah for Stampin' Up!'s Convention.  Girl time here I come!!!  Todays card is for the challenge over at Curtain Call.  My card is a little different in the since that it isn't really for a Birthday, unless your turning an age your not particularly happy with!!  HA! HA!  No, my card is to cheer someone up!  When I looked at the inspiration photo, I saw bright colors and polka dots. 

 

I used the new dots and stripes masking template to create my polka dots for my background.  I used colors of coastal cabana, crushed curry, crisp cantaloupe and strawberry slush.  the tag stamped with "cheer up buttercup" is from the project life label framelit set.  I tied it on with some of the new in color thick twine and added a clear button with a bow in black bakers twine.

 

Some cute polka dots added to the inside makes for easy and quick decoration

Beautiful Bunch HSS189

Good morning and thanks for stopping by.  Todays card is for the color challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I am in love with the new in colors, so I was excited to see three of them being used in the challenge.

 

I started with a base color of lost lagoon and layered with whisper white.  On top of that I cut out one striped scalloped in hello honey.  The beautiful bunch flowers are stamped in hello honey, lost lagoon and tangelo twist.  All three I stamped off some of the ink for a lighter background, then stamped the center design in the same color.  Each flower has a little pearl in the center.  I cut a strip of lost lagoon in color satin ribbon and attached across the bottom with glue dots.  I also cut a strip of the new venetian crochet ribbon and colored it in lost lagoon.  I just love how I can color it and make it what ever color I need.

 

 

On the inside, I stamped two flowers and shaded in the shape from the apothecary accents die and stamped my sentiment of "Let's Celebrate" from the Sumthin' Sumthin' stamp set. (same as the outside sentiment)

A Simple Thank You for July's Color Challenge at SSINK

 

Good morning its Monday and we know what time it is?  Time for our monthly color challenge over at Stylin' Stampin' INkspiration!!  I hope to see a lot of entries as we love to see what others can create with our colors.  Here are our colors for you to play with...

 

 

 

I decided to keep my card easy and simple.  I used the pacific point and stamped flowers for my background using the "Mixed Bunch" stamp set.  One I haven't used in a while, but still do really enjoy using.  I created a matted sentiment using the real red and sahara sand, using a "thank you" sentiment from Wetlands stamp set.

 

On the inside, I stamped a few flowers and added a layer of pacific point. 

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ sahara sand, pacific point and real red

Celebrating the USA with a Star!

 

Good morning!  Its Friday, Friday, Friday and its 4th of July, so Happy Birthday USA!!  Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and we are sharing projects to help celebrate this special day!  Like many, I will be celebrating with yummy food, visiting with family and friends and ending the day with some nighttime fireworks!!

 

My card today is a special 3-D Triangle Star Card.  A little tricky yes, but the end results was so worth it.  My inspiration came from a card I saw in Pinterest.  Click HERE for directions.  I will admit, they were a little difficult to follow and I just had to wing it, but it turned out a ok!

 

I don't really have any patriotic DSP, so I used the closest I had, Martime.  The coastal cabana sheet is perfect with the little stars.  I also used real red and night of navy.

 

On the inside, I used stamped in night of navy the smallest star in the Be a Star stamp set and cut them out using the matching star framelit set.

 

The outside has a simple star in real red with a night of navy one behind it.  I stamped "happy birthday" in coastal cabana and cut it out with a banner tail on each end and layered on top the star.  Some added bling, and my 4th of July celebration card is done. 

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ real red, night of navy, whisper white

Ink ~ night of navy, real red, coastal cabana

DSP ~ martime

Stamp sets~ be a star, and many more

Misc. ~ star framelits, basic rhinestones, banner punch

 

I hope you have enjoyed my triangle star card and it INKspires you to go create your own version.  Don't forget to leave some "love" and go visit our main blog to see what the other design team members have created!!

Still "NO" Pinwheel Wreath for Me?!?

 

Good morning and thanks for joining me here today with Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  Today we are sharing cute projects made using "pinwheels".  I will have to tell ya, that even though I've created things with pinwheels before, it has been so much more fun since the June My Paper Pumpkin kit got delivered to my door step.

 

One of the things I have been wanting to make for my front door was one of these cute clothes pin wreaths.  When I made my last weekly trip to old Wally World, aka (Walmart), its what we people in the South call it!!....I picked myself up a pack of wooden clothespins.  Since I wanted a red, white and blue look since it was for the 4th of July and I didn't have any other DSP that would work, I used the new Martitime DSP.  Boy was that a long run on sentence!!  It worked perfectly, cause it has real red, night of navy and even stars. 

 

I created the three pinwheels from the my paper pumpkin it and attached them to the straws that even come in the kit too, and hot glued them to the side of my wreath.  I also cut out some silver sparkle stars using the new stars framelit set. 

 

So why do I say, "Still NO wreath for my door?"  Well I went to go visit my parents this weekend.  My nephew is getting ready to be deployed out with the Air Force and he surprised my parents with a last visit before he leaves.  We were all there for some family time and a nice relaxing cookout.  Well now back to the subject...the wreath....well I didn't know that my Mom has also been wanting one of these styled wreaths and well I caved in and sold it to her!!!  Luckily for me, the Paper Pumpkin kit came with 24 pinwheels and extra supplies that I have plenty left after all the other projects I've made (details and pics some soon!!) I can easily make myself another tonight.  I guess I just need to go back to Wally World and get another pack of clothespins, haha!!!

 

Supplies Used

DSP ~ Martitime

Misc. ~ silver glitter paper, star framelit set, June My Paper Pumpkin kit, hot glue gun, wooden clothespins
