Wonderful Birthday, Paper Players#542,

 

First, I have to say, this was not the card in my head when I sat down to make one.  But there was this stack of brand new DSP sitting there, so instantly the card in my head changed. I know, I'm pretty strange. 

My inspiration for this comes from this weeks sketch for the Paper Players challenge.  Click on the linked text to see it all. There are some gorgeous cards both from the designers and posted cards from others. 



We continue to have the most beautiful DSP I have ever seen! This is Simply Elegant DSP, which goes with the Elegantly Said stamp and punch bundle.  The sentiment is part of the stamp set along with this flower and some other items.  

The pink is our new incolor Polished Pink, also used is Black, white and Copper embossed. 

As it's so new, I haven't yet bought any ribbon so went looking through my rather large stash of ribbon for something I could use. I could have used a little white ribbon, but found this Melon Mambo ribbon left over and was very surprised that it matched.  Melon is darker in color. So, what would be your favorite, should I have used the white or do you love the pink?  

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Happy Birthday to you



I had a friend over for some play with cards yesterday.  Here is one of the cards we ended up with.   The set is the free Happy Birthday to you stamp and it's die set which will be free with a $100 order Mar 3.  
I did gorgeous grape flowers,  Granny Apple Green leaves and Purple Posy cake. After stamping, coloring and cutting it out, I cut off the bottom of the "plate" and cut the plate die out of silver foil to replace it. 

The doily set is from last year and is retired, but I love it, I happen to really love all kinds of doilies.  The background I'd made up for something else then not used it and it was just sitting on my desk. Otherwise I would have thought to put these colors all together, but I love the look.
The background is Coastal Cabana and Rococo Rose.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope I've inspired you a bit.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts Challenge #281

Well, normally I am not on this weeks team, but Brian offered a challenge and not being one to back off from one, I accepted and did up a card for this week.

Smoky Slate and Tempting Turquoise. Love those colors, I don't use Turquoise often enough and it's a great color!

This is one of the new kits in the 2016 Occasions catalog going live on Jan 5th.  There is lots more to it, but I needed something suitable for guy cards as I have 2 grandsons having birthdays soon.
Well, ok, I did get a bit carried away with rhinestones.  But I think they can handle it. LOL. Also, don't you just love this embossing folder? 

Thanks for stopping by, here is the sketch.

And here is where you will find the PPA challenge, come play along.

Stampin Up and Mojo Monday 362



Yup, it's tuesday and I'm just posting.  Life just keeps getting in the way.

This was an interesting sketch, it took a little thought, but I have a special friend who is having a birthday so that had to be my card theme.
Colors today are:  Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding, and Whisper White.

The little wavy cut you see on both sides of the card are made using the Rotary add on for the Stampin Trimmer and the optional tiny wave blade. There are also other blades, a small scallop, and a perforating blade as well as the straight cut blade. And the blades are inclosed in little cartridges so easy to change out and very safe to use.

Here is todays sketch:
I hope you have enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by.   As usual, just click on any of the graphics of product below and you will be taken to my store where you can check them out further and/or purchase.

Stampin Up and Mojo Monday 316

I was tempted to do a Christmas card, I'm not making much headway with my own cards this year. I've been busy making quilted Christmas gifts and stuff for my SU classes, but I do enjoy my classes.

But, I've been wanting to use the birthday sentiment, and this was the perfect time. I paired the Delightful Dozen sentiment with Birthday Basics DSP.

Colors:
Very Vanilla
Raspberry Ripple
Crisp Cantaloupe

Supplies:
Delightful Dozen stamp set
Birthday Basics DSP (130145
Incolor 2013-2015 Core' dinations card stock (129958)
Circle Framelits (130911)
Rispberry Ripple Satin Stitched Ribbon (126845)
Finishing Touches Edgelits (127010)

I made the little 1/2" banners by using my 1" square punch, then cutting them in half. 
Here is the sketch:
Hope you enjoyed todays card and it have you some ideas of your own. 
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.
