You Make Me

 

Perfect Pennants is one of the retiring stamp sets so I wanted to make another card with it before its time is over (there may be more before the month is over too!).  

 

I pulled out my Chevron border punch and punched out of some Shine on specialty paper before adding card stock behind it.  I added some little silver stamped images from the All about Everything stamp set too.

 

Supplies:

All about everything, Perfect Pennants

Metallic Silver, Island Indigo ink

Whisper White, Island Indigo card stock

English Garden dsp

Shine on specialty paper

Chevron border punch

designer buttons

 

March Paper Pumpkin Finale

For the final project using the items in the March Paper Pumpkin kit, I created a scrapbook page.  The title includes the stitched piece from the kit and the stamped image is from Perfect Pennants.

 

 

I added a piece of Sweet Taffy designer series paper along with a couple stamped images and circles.

 

Here is the group of projects all in one place...I did actually have one half piece of note card left and some thread too. 

 

Hope you enjoyed the projects!  If you would like to sign up for this little piece of fun in your mailbox each month, just go here for more details.  You can still get in on the Sale-a-bration price for the 3 month prepaid subscription if you act fast!  (Ends March 31st).  Check that information out right here.

Simple Banner

 

I took a piece of Confetti Celebration designer series paper and cut out pieces so it made a fun banner (the banner is still in one piece, the basic rhinestones cover up where it is held together).

 

The dots stamped on the base are an image from the August Paper Pumpkin kit adn the little banner behind the sentiment is also from that kit.

 

Supplies:

Perfect Pennants

Bermuda Bay ink

Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White card stock

Happy

More fun with the Draw the Line stamp set on these cards - I paired the stamp set with Flashback designer series paper and the Perfect Pennants stamp set.

 



 

Those little essentials wooden elements are too much fun too, I just had to add one of those to the cards :)  Both cards are the same with the exception of the card stock matting the designer series paper.

Draw the Line, Perfect Pennants

Off the Grid Wishes

 

I guess I was in the mood for some grunging and sponging when I put this one together!  It started with a piece of Epic Day This is That designer series paper and then I decided to add a layer that had some hexagons sponged into it over the top.  

 

I took a die cut made with the Hexagon Hive thinlit and used it as a template for the sponging, then I added some more sponging, Off the Grid images and some splatters from Gorgeous Grunge.

 

The sentiment is from Perfect Pennants and I added a little Gorgeous Grunge and sponging to that as well.

Sending Good Thoughts

 

I would like to share a card collection that I put together using the Kaleidoscope designer series paper and Perfect Pennants stamp set.  I love the patterns and colors in the designer series paper and wanted to play with them a little bit.

 

The ampersand folder came in hand for the first two cards and I sanded down the embossed image a little to show more contrast with the rest of the card stock piece.

 

I paired the folder with the You & Me stamp and cut the you and me out and popped them up.

 

Next, I played with the banners framelits, some bakers twine and the scallops folder and showcased the designer series paper a little bit more.

 

You can see I had to dress up the envelopes a little as well...

 

The last two cards also feature the banners framelits, the decorative dots folder, baker's twine and some fun brights buttons.

 

The bottom of the top layer of banners were rolled out a little bit.

 

Finally, what good is a card set without a box?  This one has diagonal sides and will hold all the cards and their envelopes.

 

Supplies:

Perfect Pennants

Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush, Bermuda Bay, Summer Crushed Curry card stock and inks

Baker's Twine

Brights buttons

Scallops, Ampersand and Decorative Dots folders

Banners framelits

 

Hip Hip Hooray

I did a little playing around with folding on the sentiment for this card. The strip of Whisper White is 3/4" wide with some banner ends cut into it. The sentiment from Hip Notes is stamped in the middle of the strip with Baked Brown Sugar; then I folded straight down on either side of the image and folded each side at an angle with one corner of the angle meeting the straight fold. Make sense?

The close up might help if there is any confusion...

It doesn't show up too well on the top picture, but there is an image stamped with Silver Metallic ink (flag stamp in the Perfect Pennants stamp set) just above the sentiment.

Supplies:

Hip Notes

Perfect Pennants

Downtown Grunge

Baked Brown Sugar, Island Indigo, Wisteria Wonder, Silver Metallic ink

Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White card stock

Cabana and Gold

 

I have enjoyed playing with the Fancy foil designer vellum that is in the Occasions catalog - I really hope it is carried over into the new catalog that will come out faster than we think!  Can't wait :)

 

For the card I am sharing with you today, I paired the gold with Coastal Cabana and added a little texture with the Chevron folder.

 

Speaking of the new catalog, I probably better order some more of my favorite Naturals composition specialty paper before it is no longer available!!

Since I just ordered the floral fusion sizzlit recently, I have  been playing with it a little bit and this card is one of those experiments.

 

I used the Positively Chevron, Gorgeous Grunge and Perfect Pennants stamp sets with the little flowers as accents.

 

I am drawn to this style of card and like to see what different combinations I can work with, but usually Gorgeous Grunge comes into play.

Good Thoughts

 

Today's card share is fairly simple using the Perfect Pennants stamp set for the sentiment an some Soho Subway designer series paper as an accent.  I like this sentiment as an alternative for thinking of you once in awhile to change things up.

 

I added some Baked Brown Sugar ruffle stretch trim and used Sticky Strip to hold it in place.  There is also a strip of Watercolor Wonder designer washi tape running down the Island Indigo card stock on the side.

Perfect Pennants

Soft Suede ink

Make a Wish Cupcake!

 

This is my first attempt with the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die and I have to say I had some trouble the first time with removing the card stock from the metal.  As I attempted it a second time, I thought about wax paper, but didn't have any in my stamp room so I tried a plastic Stampin' Up! bag instead thinking it might work like the wax paper...perfect!  It came out very easily this time...

 

Behind the Hexagon Hive, I have a layer of Whisper White that was embossed with the Stripes Impressions folder and then I added a scrap of Watercolor Wonder designer series paper on the top and my stamped images.

Wonderful Life

I have some more fun items from the Sweet Sorbet accessory kit on my cards that I will share with you today.  The twine in the kit is awesome and thick, but the cork pieces are fun too.  The images are printed in white on the cork and they are adhesive backed so you just grab one and stick it right on your project!

 

My two cards use the same saying and banner framelit, but have a little different layout and colors.  Each uses the Regarding Dahlias as a background with the image stamped in Strawberry Slush ink.

 

 

Supplies:

Perfect Pennants

Regarding Dahlias

Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Pistachio Pudding, Bermuda Bay card stock

Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush ink

Wonderful Life

 

I thought the saying from Perfect Pennants (Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful) would look fun with the coffee cup from Perfect Blend.  And there is that Scalloped Tag Topper punch again too, LOL!  

 

While most of the designer series paper on these cards comes from the Quatrefancy specialty paper kit, there is a piece from Fresh Prints and the 2012-2014 in color stack as well.

January Stamp Club projects

Time to share stamp club projects again!  I went with a simple layout using the Afternoon Picnic designer series paper, decorative label punch and Chalk Talk framelits.

 

For the first card, I used the Sweet Sayings cards and envelopes along with the Fresh Prints designer series paper and Perfect Pennants stamp set.

 

And on the second card...retro fresh washi tape and the same stamp set - Perfect Pennants...
