This week our Late Night Stampers challenge is to use shades of Pink, Green and Yellow.  For my first sample, I chose the Vintage Vogue stamp set that has been collecting dust in my stamp room and paired it with some Flirtatious Fabric and the Brights Designer series paper pack.

I used Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Pear Pizzazz as my color combination and used the brights brads for my little flowers.

With all my heart

I found a card similar to this on pinterest and used this as a workshop make and take this past weekend.  It uses the First Edition specialty paper, hearts embosslit and Adorning accents embossing folder. 

We also used the 3/16" corner punch, eyelet border punch, and some linen thread to complete the card.

Daisies on my mind

I haven't pulled out my Upsy Daisy stamp set for a little while so I thought I would make and a card or two with it this week. 

It is difficult to see on the picture, but I added texture to the Night of Navy layer with the Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder.

Supplies:

Upsy Daisy stamp set

Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Old Olive card stock

I am doing a little multitasking today with the card I am sharing with you.  I combined Mary Jo's sketch with the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge.

I used the Creative Elements stamp set and on the background I colored the images in with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. 

The ribbon is the retired pom pom trim ribbon in Daffodil Delight and I layered it on top of Basic Black and Old Olive card stock that I punched with the eyelet border punch.

The flower I stamped 3 times with Basic Black ink on Whisper White card stock and then used a sponge to add color and cut out the layers, adhering them with dimensionals.

Supplies:

Creative elements stamp set

Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Old Olive card stock and inks

Whisper White card stock

I also made my own envelopes with the Sweet Stitches designer series paper because I didn't have

any the right size :) 

One of the new punches that will be in the Summer Mini Catalog created the punch shapes on these cards, it is a 3 part punch and fun to play with!  It is called the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch and is available starting today!

 So I made a different version and am not quite sure how I feel about this one either, LOL!
