TSOT596 Let's Celebrate

Hi peeps!  The week is winding down, looking forward to the weekend!  I have a birthday card using some pretty papers from Regency Park and a sketch from Try Stampin on Tuesday: 

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love peach and coral hues, so these prints just make me happy!  So here we go:

I ran a piece of this pretty polka-dotted pattern through my Stitched With Whimsy die and added the elements with coordinating patterns.  The flower was diecut with the retired Pierced Blooms (which in my opinion, should never have been retired!!!) from some Sweet Sorbet glimmer paper, and the sentiment from Simply Fabulous was stamped in Sweet Sorbet on a stitched panel from the same die set:

Peaceful Moments provided the sentiments for the inside, and I stamped a little two-step floral from Simply Fabulous in there as well!  This will soon be winging its way to a birthday recipient!

Easy peasy!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

GDP382 Nature's Prints Thanks

 Hello, stamping friends! I have a fun little monochromatic card today; I love hobnail milk glass and have a few pieces, and my friend recently bought me a sweet little vase!  So I wanted to send her a thank you card, of course, and the sketch from Global Design Project was just right:

So here we go:

My friend loves green, so I chose a piece of plaid Shaded Spruce DSP for the background of my 4 1/4" square card.  I diecut three Basic White circles and embossed each one with a different embossing folder.  I stamped and diecut a piece of greenery from Nature's Prints, also stamped in Shaded Spruce and added a sentiment from Simply Fabulous:

A simple little white twine bow finished it off!  So happy you visited today!

Dana and Wayne took the dogs for a four mile walk on Sunday...awesome scenery and fun little finds as well:

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

PP623 Pretty Hello

Hi stampers!  Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Claire as our hostess!  She has a brilliant color challenge for us, and I will admit that it WAS a challenge for me!  Here is her color palette:

Shades of purple are always a challenge for me!  I began by choosing some DSP in the challenge colors, but I used all the same patterns so they would coordinate a bit.  I borrowed a sketch from Mary Fish

and off I went:

This little floral pattern is my favorite from the DSPs this year!  I did some layering, added a Basic White tag on which I stamped some florals from Simply Fabulous, popping up the largest Orchid Oasis one:

and then embellished my tag with some Glittered Organdy ribbon and some baker's twine from my stash. I diecut a "hello" from a retired die, mounting the cardstock on an adhesive sheet so it would really stand out.  Of course, running it through my Big Shot made those little holes on the die really pop out, but I guess you could call it a decoration!  It matched the matte dots I added, I guess!

I hope you'll accept this challenge and play with our colors this week!  Be sure to stop by the Paper Players blog to see all the lovely creations our DT has come up with!  Thanks so much for popping by, enjoy your day and be blessed!

HSS401 Let's Celebrate

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I have a birthday card to share today, and it uses the sketch from Hand-Stamped Sentiments:

Although the sketch shows snowflakes, I opted for flowers, and thought I would challenge myself to use Orchid Oasis, since purple hues are really out of my comfort zone!  So here we go:

I used DSPs in Orchid Oasis for the main panels, then stamped florals from Color & Contour in matching ink, stamping off once for the "filler" portion of the flower.  The sentiment is from Simply Fabulous and although they're hard to see, I added some matte dots here and there:

I used the pretty birthday sentiment from Happiness Abounds on the inside, along with a few more stamped-off flowers!

Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
