AHSC551 Lots of Pink

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Hope your week is going well so far!  I just adore the sketch from Atlantic Hearts this week!  I love things in threes and it just seems like such a fun sketch:

I had a myriad of ideas rolling around in my head, and I am sure my Christmas card stamp camp girls will be seeing this one!  But today, I am in a pink mood, so I am doing Christmas but it's a Berry Burst Christmas:

While searching through my stash for some DSP, I found this pretty flocked poinsettia paper from a few years ago; isn't it pretty against the bright berry shade?  I've also had this Lovely Letters set for a long time and haven't used it much, so I thought it would be a good time to get it inky!  I stamped each letter in Berry Burst then used a 1 1/4" square punch to punch them out.  A 1 3/8" square punch made punching out the Soft Shimmer DSP a piece of cake, and I combined them all together with a sentiment from For Unto Us:

Another sentiment from the same set went inside.  

And since I was in a pink mood, I made another one; this one is a Valentine, since the Throughout the Year set will be carrying over into the spring catalog, I combined it with some hearts from Country Bouquet, stamped in Melon Mambo, and popped on top of some Melon Mambo DSP:

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Paper Players 76

Happy Sunday to everyone!  Ann is our hostess for this week’s Paper Players challenge, and she has a regal combination for us:

Once again, it’s a clean and simple challenge, which I didn’t notice, but thankfully, I did a fairly clean and simple card:

I used the Lovely Letters set with the flourish from Essential Elements, stamped in gold Encore ink.  I embossed my Brushed Gold scalloped mat with a CB folder and burnished the embossing with some Soft Suede ink, then adhered it to another Brushed Gold mat.  I added a glimmer brad, some quilted ribbon in Cherry Cobbler and a few well-placed gold dots with a gold Painty pen:

On the inside, I added a sentiment from Come to Bethlehem:

 

I hope you’ll be able to play with us using these lovely colors!  You can stop by the Paper Player’s blog to see what the other designers created as well, and share YOUR creation with all of us!  This is the Paper Players’ last challenge of the year and we hope you have a blessed Christmas holiday, and be sure to come back in 2012 for some brand-new challenges!
