Stampin Up, Pal's Paper Arts Challenge # 260


Today PPA has a sketch challenge.   When I was planning out the card, I decided I wanted to use some of the awesome product I got from Lisa Pretto, one of the perks of having awesome uplines.

I also used my new stamp set from the Watercolor Wishes kit.  The stamps are not sold separate for this one kit and it's an awesome sentiment set.   There are also lots and lots of pretties in this set, and comes completely with pretty much everything you would need including envelops.

My envelop here is using the new envelop paper in the new catalog. This is the new incolors pack and there is also a neutrals pack, it's lighter weight and really works great for envelops.

I used a combination of Floral Framelits and punches to get my flower, so go wild, just try a bunch of punches and/or framelits you have.

If you have any questions just ask in the comments section. I have no way to reply to you personally unless you leave me contact info or send an email.  So, if you don't do that, check back for your answer in the comment section.
The center of my flower is one of the new  White Perfect Accents, I colored mine.  A small button would have looked awesome as well.

I used Hello Honey, Night of Navy, Whisper White and Blushing Bride.  The patterned paper is English Garden.   My personal opinion is that it is one of the most beautiful paper sets SU has given us ever. The colors I used were drawn from that paper.
Here is the sketch:

Stampin Up, Mojo Monday 397 and Paper Players 244


I normally don't do one card for 2 challenges, but today was just too good to resist. Since I was busy yesterday and didn't do my Paper Players, and PP turned out to be a color challenge while Mojo Monday was a sketch challenge I just had to do it.
The PP colors are Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and Pistachio Pudding, I tossed in Whisper White.

Here is the sketch.
So you see, great colors, cute sketch, they just had to go together.
Today might be a bit confusing as I mixed colors and product that is retiring and some that is brand new. New product will be available for you to purchase June 2nd. That is also the date to order retiring product.

Pistachio Pudding is an incolor and is going out.  The dotted patterned paper is in a retiring 12x12 stack of DSP.  The gorgeous flower pattern paper is in the brand new revamp of the 121x12 DSP stacks. I love, love, love the new paper stacks, they used to be my go to, but wasn't as happy when they changed, but this change is awesome, super great patterns!  Personally, I'm going to try and get them all this year.

I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to come and play in either of these challenges, they really are  a lot of fun.

Stampin Up, Saying Good bye


Noooooo, not me, I'm not leaving. LOL.  But we are coming to the close to another SU catalog year. And it is one of those years where we loose a LOT of product. So, I'm here to say good bye to most of the product I have used on this card.  DSP usually all retires so we expect that. But well over 100 stamp sets and a whole bunch of Die cut sets and punches!

I'll have links to my store where you can find the retired list at the bottom of my post. Just click on any of the images, if there is something you want, best to order it now, if it's even still there.  Stamp sets may be ok, SU makes their own and will do their best to keep up with demand, but there is only so much of everything else.

Having said that, it's an exciting time.  The new catalog should have some fabulous new stuff.

The sentiment stamp set is about the only thing besides the little banner punch on here that is staying. Black and Basic gray ink is leaving for now.  I believe they are reformulating them so they work better.
So, have a great day, and I hope you enjoy my tribute to retiring product, BTW, I'm keeping this stamp set, I love it, and it's staying in my stash.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge #248, Watercolor play


So here we are at yet another PPA challenge.   This week we have a sketch challenge and it's a great one. I love then they are very simple, allowing for your mind to wonder and create.  If you visit here
often, you will know that I'm working hard to get some watercolor techniques down.

So this is my try for this week.  I inked up my stamp with Melon Mambo and then spritzed water on it and stamped it on watercolor paper.   I did a couple more spritzes on the paper to allow the color to spread.  I'd really like to hear what you think if you wouldn't mind leaving me a comment.

I used soft sky and an aqua painter to spread some sky around.   I sure hope you enjoy.
