Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts color challenge #299, Hello


Todays card features some more retired items. They are still current until the end of May 2016, so if any of it's something you can't live without, you might want to buy it now.  When it's gone, it's gone and it's going fast.

I used the Striped Scallop die, to get this effect I cut out a printer paper template first.  Then I used a bit of Washi tape to hold it down to the card piece. You can use post its also.  I then sponged on the two colors, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz.

I used Beautiful Bunch stamps to make the top flower in my stack, and just cut one out of gold foil and one from the Pear to complete the stack. The little one on top middle is stamped from the same set, and cut using the Petite Petal punch.
I finished it off with a large pearl from the Pearl Basics.

My sentiment is cut from gold foil also, using the Hello You Thinlits.  A tip for this, if you do not have the Precision plate, use a piece of wax paper between the die and the CS.   Otherwise the light weight paper tears coming out of the die.

Those of us that are demos will be able to place a small preorder in a couple days and there is a lot of excitement in our groups.  One more month and we will all be able to order. There are some fabulous new items in the new annual catalog, that's exciting, but unfortunately in order to get new stuff we have to let go of some old stuff, and that can be hard.  The Beautiful Bunch stamps set and matching Fun Flower punch are leaving us. :( 
Also the Scallop thinlit die is going. I am very much going to miss all 3 items!  But I can't wait to get my hands on some of the new goodies.
Here are the colors for this week, beautiful colors by our own Peggy Noe.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts Challenge #265


It's time for this weeks PPA challenge. This week is a sketch challenge.  If you are wanting to give challenges a try, this is a great week to start. The sketch is easy and adaptable.  Remember, the sketch is only a starting place, you can do it exactly, or you can bring your own ideas to it.

My very favorite color in the whole world is blue. And there isn't a prettier blue then Marina Mist.
Blue and browns are great colors for masculine cards too, if you took off the flower and replaced it, you could have a great guy card.

This is the first time I've used the Striped Scalloped Thinlit in tone on tone, I love the texture it gives the card.  I paired it with the Natural ribbon for an almost slightly rustic look.

Here is the sketch this week:

Stampin Up and Freshly Made Sketches 200!

Freshly Made Sketches is having a party!  Lots of prizes, you may win one if you play along. This is mine. I just love how it came out. Usually when I do Black and white I add a  pop of color, but I left it pure this time.  The new thinlit words sure are fun to play with, so clean and so easy to pop white on black.

Here is the sketch, love it too, it's wide open.

If you are seeing a bit of an angle between the print and black, you are correct.  It's just for a little more interest.

So, below are my products that I used. I hope you get some ideas of your own from this.

Happy Day, Pals Paper Arts challenge #244



Hello, and a very happy day to all of you.  What a fun sketch! I think I'll hang on to it and use it again, maybe soon, I had so many ideas.

The flower from Beautiful Bunch was so perfect for this, it has a matching punch, I just love it.  I have a customer who is fell in love with it at a class and came by yesterday to play with paper with me and stamped and punch a bunch to hold her over until her order came in.

Colors today are Tempting Turquoise, Real red and Basic Gray.

Thanks so much for stopping by and here is the sketch, how about joining in?
Now remember, a sketch is just a starting point, feel free to make it your own. I sure do. I need to make cards that I end up loving, so to that end often a few changes are made.Well, looks like the buton I choose is retired, but I have listed a replacement set.  Page 208 on the big main catalog has all the buttons and other embellishments.
