PPA #274 – A Little Kindness

Rosanne November 9, 2015 November 9, 2015Cards

The challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts is a great color combo……

At first, I was inclined to think Fall with this color combination, however Calypso Coral did not really say Fall to me like the other two colors. Instead I opted for a thank you card given that November is the month of “thanks”.

This card came together super fast using the Designer Series paper from the Cherry on Top DSP Stack. The fun scalloped flowers are from the Crazy About You stamp set and punched with the 1 3/4″ Scallop Punch….easy! The sentiment comes from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set. I like to tap into different set for each element of my cards. By doing this, I can justify having so many sets!

I think I may have mentioned a time or two, how much I enjoy embellishing the inside of the card almost as much as the front. This is no exception. The sentiment is from the Oh My Goodies stamp set. I really do not mind that the fonts don’t match. In fact, I find that since I am pretty particular about fonts, that I am happy to use several that I really like.

I hope you enjoyed this card and thank you for taking the time to look in on my project. I welcome your thoughts and comments.

Happy Monday,

Rosanne

Clean & Simple Christmas

I’m playing along with two challenges today. The Global Design Project has a color challenge and Stamp Ink Paper has a theme challenge.

I haven’t really mastered the art of making a card that fits multiple challenges mostly because I don’t check more than one challenge site at a time. This time however, I simply got lucky. I originally designed this card using the color challenge and noticed that it fit the bill for a CAS Christmas card also.

I wasn’t sure how these colors would translate into a festive Christmas card but I am really happy with the retro-look of it. It was actually very surprising to me how much I like the way this turned out.

Even the envelope was fun to make.

I will definitely be making a few more of these to send out for the holiday. I’ve listed all the products used on this card below.

Thanks for stopping by. I welcome your comments or would be happy to answer any questions.

Have a wonderful day,

PPA #273 – Peaceful Wreath

Hello and welcome. I am back today with a Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge.

This was a fun sketch to work with and I had a few ideas for it as I have a few new holiday sets to break in.

I particularly love the vellum embossed Peace banner across the wreath. It is hard to see in the photo so here is a close up. It is really very pretty and was hard to capture that beauty in a photo.

Once I decided on the Peaceful Wreath stamp set, which is in the Holiday Catalog, this card came together fairly quickly. I absolutely LOVE wreaths…for every and all occasions so whenever a wreath stamp set comes out, it comes to my house. Stampin’ Up! has several great wreath sets right now and they all coordinate with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. After I stamped and cut the wreath, I colored it with markers and highlighted the berries with some Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details. With the Dazzling Details and the Red Foil paper this card sparkles and shines!

The cardstock and ink for the inside sentiment is Real Red and the Designer Series paper is from the Merry Moments paper stack.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and I thank you for taking some time to check it out.

Have a wonderful Monday!

GDP #007 – Harvest Blessings

The challenge at the Global Design Project this week is a theme challenge.

I do love all things country and “farmy” but that love really has not translated into my stamp collection yet. However, I strayed a little from Stampin’ Up! recently and purchased a stamp and die set from My Favorite Things called Harvest Mouse. I saw a few samples using this adorable set and could not resist.

I also recently started collecting Copic Markers since SU’s Blendabilities went away. So this was a perfect set to start practicing coloring with Copics.

I am rationalizing this card with the theme because my cute little mouse is gathering pumpkins that were grown on a farm (somewhere)! The card base is Very Vanilla and the cardstock is Blackberry Bliss. The DSP is from the Farmer’s Market Designer Series Paper. The ribbon is the 5/8″ Striped Cotton Ribbon in Blackberry Bliss and the bow is tied with Linen Thread.

I hope you enjoyed this little diversion and wish you a wonderful day,

Rosanne
