Pool Party STARS Challenge

This is my final card featuring the This and That Epic Day DSP and the Simply Sketched stamp set from Stampin' Up.  And of course it is Thursday, that means it is time for another DOStamper STARS Challenge.

 

I changed up the sketch a bit.  My stamped image is on a slightly larger square and I added three Basic Jewel Rhinestones on the same piece.

 

Hope you have enjoyed these cards.  If you have missed my previous cards, here are the links:

Calypso Epic Day

Today I am featuring my second card using the This and That Epic Day DSP and the Simply Sketched stamp set from Stampin' Up.

I love the chevron design on this Designer Series Paper.  I stamped the bird using Calypso Coral on Whisper White.   I then punched out the design using a 1 1/2" circle punch and layered that over a 1 3/4" scallop circle.  The sentiment is from the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set.  I love the look of layering the Large Oval Punch over the Modern Label punch.

Thanks for checking out my card today.

Sketched Epic Day

Happy Saturday.  Today's card is inspired by the challenge at Seize the Sketch:

 

Over my next series of posts, I am going to feature the Simply Sketched stamp set from Stampin' Up and the This and That Epic Day designer series paper collection.  I love the look of Stampin' Up's Designer Series Paper, but once I get them I just can't seem to cut them.  This is my attempt to use up some of the my stash and make some great cards.  Of course, once I use it up I can always get more, right?  LOL!!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

STARS Color My World

Here it is - Thursday again.  Time for another Color My World challenge. 

I thought about these colors for awhile before I came up with this card.  Actually, I ended by using Basic Gray instead of Smoky Slate.  I think it is still in the spirit of the challenge.  I love the Dahlia stamp and feel like it can be used in so many ways.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Check out my fellow STARS.

Getting Ready for the Holidays

I am starting a new series of posts today featuring Stampin' Up product that you can use to get ready for the holidays.

The first post features some holiday ornaments created with the Gift Bow Bigz L Dies.

The ornament may look familiar to you.  It is the actually the same construction as the small pumpkin from a couple weeks ago.  See the Truly Grateful Pumpkins post.  I have replaced the stem with a Candy Dots Brad Base blinged out with a large Basic Jewel Rhinestone and Silver 1/8" ribbon as a hanger.

The angel is very sweet and easy to construct.   I cut 2 Small bow loops and 2 bow tails from Pool Party.  I then stamped the pieces using the Mixed Bunch stamp set with Island Indigo ink.  The halo is punched from Silver Foil Sheet using the 1 3/4" and the 1 1/4" circle punches.  The face is punched from Pink Pirouette using the 1 1/4" circle.  The center piece is Island Indigo cardstock punched with the 7/8" scallop circle and layered with a Frosted Finishes embellishment.

My upline, Dawn Olchefske has a video on her website featuring this project.  Check it out:  Stampin' Up Gift Bow Die Angel

November Stamp Set of the Month

For November’s Stamp Set of the Month, I have chosen Hello Lovely.  This is a great stamp set if you like to stamp.  The designs can be used individually or together to form patterns and designs.  And, of course, it includes sentiments making this set even more versatile.

 

For my featured cards, I started with a palette of the 2012-14 In-Colors.  The tiled card is stamped using Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit and then combined with coordinating cardstock.  The Hello Lovely card is a combination of Primrose Petals and Basic Gray.  The Ampersand card uses one of the 2013-15 In Colors – Crisp Cantaloupe matched with Early Espresso.

If you place an order of $40 (before sales tax and shipping) on my online store by November 25, 2013, I will send you the kit to make all these fabulous cards.  This includes all the cardstock cut to size.  You just need to add Hello Lovely stamp set and ink to create these cards.

Everyone who orders by November 25, 2013 is entered for a chance to win FREE Stampin' Up product.
