For Being You

 

In this year's Sale-a-bration catalog there are some different options for items other than stamp set as always.  The first which is only available until the end of today as it is a limited time only item is called Perfectly Artistic dsp.  There is also a Project Life specialty card collection called Memories in the Making and a Vellum paper stack called Botanical Gardens, but my favorite is the Wildflower Fields designer series paper and I have used it in today's card.



 

I chose two different patterns and then attached them to my card base.  There is a small strip of Blushing Bride card stock over their seam and then I added some white cotton ribbon and a piece of Blackberry Bliss striped stitched ribbon for a bow.

 

The sentiment comes from the Suite sayings stamp set and I used my Lost Lagoon and Blackberry Bliss markers to ink it up.

 

Supplies:

Suite Sayings

 Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon markers

Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Whisper White card stock

Cupcake Alphabet

 

Awhile back, I was on a roll using the Alphabet press folder and this is another creation that came out of it.  It is very simple, but cute, using the Sketched Birthday stamp set and Birthday Basics designer series paper.

 

I think this would be a fun card for just about anyone :) 

 

Supplies:

Sketched Birthday

Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate, Very Vanilla card stock

Birthday Basics designer series paper

Gumball Green ink

scallop circle punch

 Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon

Alphabet press folder

Non Winning Artisan Project #6

 

I played around with so many techniques and ideas on this page and really didn't want to give it up when I was done with it, but also didn't know if I wanted to spend another 3 hours on one scrapbook page! 

 

 

Some of the background texture is from inked embossing folders and other is from inked up saran wrap.

 

I did LOTS of sponging and some distressing of card stock along with lots of layering.

 

Supplies:

Notable Alphabet

Fan Fair dsp

Tea for Two dsp

Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Midnight Muse card stock

Midnight Muse, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Gumball Green, Soft Suede classic ink

Chevron Folder

Honeycomb Folder

designer buttons

Stitched satin ribbon

 

 

Direction

 

I admit I haven't played with the new Photopolymer stamp sets a whole lot, this one in particular I some trouble coming up with ideas.  I thought the sentiment from Word Play went well with the arrows though and do like the way this one turned out.   

 

 

The Photopolymer stamps really cling to the blocks well, love that about them. 

 

Supplies:

Word Play

Designer Typeset

Midnight Muse classic ink

Cherry Cobbler, Midnight Muse and Very Vanilla card stock

Gumball Green stitched satin ribbon

 

 

This is another sample with the same concept.  I used Gumball Green, Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple as my inks on this one and added a cute clip to the sentiment.

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?

 

Nature's Pace

 

I am using this card as one of my stamp a stack projects this month.  It is fairly quick to put together and uses the Hello Doily and Nature's Pace stamp sets.

 

 

I added an In color dahlia and some stitched satin Raspberry Ripple ribbon to complete the card.

 

Supplies:

Hello Doily, Nature's Pace

Whisper White, Night of Navy card stock

Pink Pirouette, Night of Navy classic ink

in color dahlia

Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon

 

God is Love

 

 

 

I made a few bookmarks for the Sunday School children in my church that received their Bibles  this fall.  They are very simple ones using the Trust God stamp set and Orchard Harvest designer series paper.

 

 

I added some stitched satin Raspberry Ripple ribbon (this is the kind you can get FREE this month with a $40 purchase!!) and linen thread to the top along with a shrink plastic charm.

 

For the charm, I used Black Stazon ink and on the bookmark, I used Crumb Cake.
