Non Winning Artisan Project #3

 

Stampin' Up! encouraged us to use My Digital Studio on some of our Artisan Award entries again and I am comfortable doing that with my scrapbook pages, but not so much with the cards.  I forced myself to do a hybrid though and this is one that I just didn't love when it was time to send it off.

 

I added some texture with the Chevron folder, a button and some designer brads.

 

And on the inside made a pocket for a gift card and added some more digital splatter.

 

Supplies:

My Digital Studio

Blue Ribbon

Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White card stock

Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry ink and digital ink

Neutrals designer buttons

In color designer brads

Chevron folder

Scallop dots Melon Mambo ribbon

 

Hey There Friend

 

Isn't it fun that after we use our Paper Pumpkin kits we still have some fun stamps to play with?  I put together some fun cards using both of the stamps that were included in the March kit.

 

 

I used Raspberry Ripple and Baja Breeze markers for the sayings and punched them out with the decorative label punch.

 

On two of the backgrounds, I stamped the splatter image with Raspberry Ripple and on the other two I used the Honeycomb folder.

 

Each one has a strip of Summer Smooches dsp and some ribbon - some from the Artisan embellishment kit, some scallop dots and some stitched satin.

 

The dsp on the card above is actually from Patio Party.

 

What fun have you had with the Paper Pumpkin kits?

 

Bring Sunshine

 

I just love the sayings in the Feel Goods stamp set and I thought that the designer series paper Sunshine and Sprinkles would pair with this one nicely.

 

 

I added a Cute Clips - Hung up element and some Marina Mist scallop dots ribbon to each one.  These are very simple and quick to put together.

 

 

Supplies:

Feel Goods

Pacific Point ink

Whisper White, Pacific Point, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede card stock

Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp

Hung Up Cute Clips

Marina Mist scallop dots ribbon

 

Wishing you... TSSC258

 

I love this image from the By the Tide stamp set, but don't find a lot of ways to use it.  I thought it would work ok on this card that I made using Mary Jo's sketch for the week. 

 

 

The designer series paper is from Parker's Patterns and I used Soft Suede, Midnight Muse, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock along with it.

 

The ink is Cherry Cobbler and in addition to the By The Tide stamp set, I used the Bring on the Cake set for the sentiment.

 

The bow is made with retired Cherry Cobbler quilted ribbon and the strip of ribbon behind the image is the back side of the scallop dots ribbon in Cherry Cobbler.

 

Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple and Old Olive

 

Summer Starfruit      Raspberry Ripple       Old Olive

 

That is our color combination for the Late Night Stampers challenge this week and I have to say Summer Starfruit is still a color that has not grown on me, but I still try to use it once in awhile. 

 

 

The first card uses Delicate Doilies and From My Heart and I added some Patio Party dsp to the background.  There is a basic rhinestone in the middle of the doily as well.

 

On this card, I used the Rain or shine stamp set and also added a strip of Patio Party dsp.  The ribbon is Old Olive scallop dots ribbon that is tied into a bow using white baker's twine.

 

Come on over and join us!

 

Thanks is for Giving

This week at Late Night Stampers our challenge is I am thankful...

 

I chose one of the Seasonal Sayings stamps as my focus on both of these cards.  The colors are similar as is the leaf idea, just with different leaf stamp sets on each card.

 

 

For this one, I used French Foliage with Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze.  The strip of More Mustard was embossed with the Fancy Fan Folder and the background was embossed with the Woodgrain folder.

 

On the second card, I used Wonderfall for my background in Soft Suede, More Mustard and Cajun Craze.  There is a little bit of Orchard Harvest dsp and scallop dots More Mustard ribbon as well.

 

One thing I have found with the Wonderfall stamp set and Autumn Accents die is that you need to use your stamp - a - ma - jig to stamp them - it is very easy to get just a little off...

 

I am thankful for so many things!

Pink Adventures

I have another Daring Adventure card for you today, can you tell I love this set?  The colors I chose were Pretty in Pink, Soft Suede, Marina Mist and Whisper White.

Aren't those little clothespins adorable?  I also added some Marina Mist scallop dots ribbon to finish off the card.
