Can you believe it’s the last week of June already? That means that it’s also the last week for the two free stamp sets offer. You can read all the details here.

My card for today is for the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge…

How fun is this sketch and how many possibilities are there for it!?

Here’s what I came up with….

Warning: very minimal stamping required for this card! The Flourish Thinlits did most of the work here. This is such an awesome die set and one I know I will definitely use a lot. In fact, I’ve already used it here. The flowers are cut out in Pink Pirouette and So Saffron cardstock and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz. The enamel dots are Calypso Coral.

The card base is Smoky Slate with a mat of Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz. The Whisper White layer is stamped in Smoky Slate ink using a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. The sentiment is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set.

The inside sentiment is also from the Birthday Blooms stamp set. A little strip of Pear Pizzazz and a pattern from the Subtles DSP collection finish it off nicely.

Here is there complete card. You will notice that the envelope flap isn’t completely covered in DSP. Well that’s because I am somewhat of a miser when it comes to my DSP and this was the scrap I had left but it turned out to work perfectly…a happy accident!

I hope you enjoyed this card share and will give the Flourish Thinlits a try…you will love them!

Thanks for stopping in today and take care,

Butterfly Birthday

I’m back today with my card entry for the Stamp, Ink, Paper Case the Designer Challenge…

SIP-Case-Challenge-53-800

WOW….which designer to case? There is so much inspiration among the designers that it was a little difficult to decide. However, I was especially drawn to Sandy’s cheerful card…

Sandy-SIP-53

I love everything about this card from the straightforward design to the plaid background and the adorable sunflowers. Here is my interpretation of this wonderful card….

The card base is Whisper White thick cardstock. The Designer Series paper is from the Playful Palette DSP stack. The butterflies are from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set. I colored them with Bermuda Bay and Blushing Bride ink and a blender pen. Blending the two colors actually created three colors. I punched each butterfly with the Elegant Butterfly punch. I also punched it in Bermuda Bay cardstock to layer each butterfly with. The butterflies remind me of a pretty plaid color…do you see that, too?

The sentiment is from the Cottage Greetings stamp set. Lastly, I added a few metallic enamel shapes.

The inside sentiment is from the Better Together stamp set. This set has some wonderful sentiments and I know I will be using it quite a bit.

Thanks for stopping in today and I would love to hear what you think of my take on Sandy’s delightful card.

Please take care.

Celebrate Your Day

It’s been such a busy week here and this is the first card I’ve made this week. I am trying to play catch up and enter a few challenges before their deadlines. My card share today is for the Global Design Project #041 color challenge….

These colors make such a beautiful combination. Here’s what I came up with…

The card base is Sweet Sugarplum with a mat of Night of Navy. The DSP is from the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper collection. The flowers are from the Crazy About You stamp set and are stamped in Sweet Sugarplum. The flower was stamped four times. I punched one out using the Flower Medallion punch. For the other three, I cut out the middle layer to create a smaller flower. One of these was added to the full flower with a dimensional. I adhered all three flowers with dimensionals and then added a Night of Navy enamel dot.

The sentiment is from the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set and is stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed with White Embossing powder.

The inside sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy.

The embellished envelope completes this cheerful birthday card.

I hope you enjoyed this project and are enjoying a relaxing weekend. Thanks very much for stopping by and please check in again soon.

Take care,

Rosanne

I’m a little late with this posting today because I spent a lovely day shopping at plant nurseries with a friend. I enjoy gardening and I’m tweaking things all summer long. Even though I thought I had more than enough flowers and vegetables, a few more came home with me today. There’s always room for more!

My card today is for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge….

I like this color combination very much and was happy to dust some Island Indigo off, as it’s been a while since I’ve used it.

This card came together very quickly, which doesn’t happen very often to me. The card base is Island Indigo with a mat of Whisper White. First I stamped the sentiment, from the One Big Meaning stamp set, in Island Indigo ink.

The flower is from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and is stamped twice in Pool Party ink. I cut the first one completely out and cut the inner part from the other stamped image to layer them. There is a dimensional between the two layers. Then I cut the horizontal cutwork design from the Flourish Thinlits out in Island Indigo cardstock and positioned it above the sentiment. It needed to be trimmed a bit. The flower is placed on top with a dimensional. A white candy dot is in the center.

I really put the cutwork design die to work on this project. The inside is embellished with a strip of Island Indigo cardstock and the cutwork design in Whisper White. Then I used it again on the front of the envelope. Can you tell I really like this die!

Thanks so much for taking the time to look in on my post today.

Until next time…take care,

Rosanne
