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, Global Design Project challenge #029



This week is a color challenge.  I love that GDP has several different types of challenges,  It's always fun to see what's going on for this week.

Also, you can't find a group of better card artists anywhere, some of the best of SU's demo's play here, some as team members and some as players.  Some are even on the Stampin Up Artisian team.

We have 3 bright/dark colors today, that can be a little difficult, but using  a lot of white space helps. I thought about making my Happy die cut in the Bermuda Bay or Tangelo Twist, and in my head it just wasn't as nice, so hopefully it shows up ok.

The Gorgeous Grunge set was my friend here.  It gave me that watercolor drops look I was after with a lot less stress.   For me, when I try splatters and drops, I end up a mess! LOL, I'm kind of a messy stamper anyway. Here are the colors.


I hope I have helped to give you a bit of inspiration here.  Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts #283


So, today is a color challenge.  I hope you are enjoying the new look and changes that have been made to the PPA challenge.   We will now have color and sketch challenges scheduled to alternate each week.

Here are todays colors:


I had a lot of fun with this.  I love this free set from the new SAB catalog.  I love even more that I get to choose free stuff during this time when I order for the new Occasions or any other current catalog.
So, I cut my Whisper White CS using a die, then used the same die to cut a piece of vellum.

I stamped my flowers on one side of the vellum, then colored them on the back side using my Blender pens, or you can use markers if you have them.  It gives a little different look. I covered my glued spots when I put them together with the clear dots.

By putting the die cut hello I left it open to many other uses. I think it will be a birthday card.  I love the Melon Mambo ribbon across the Mint Macaron.

Check on the rest of the teams cards HERE

I hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Paper Players color challenge #253

This weeks Paper Players challenge is a color challenge. But first, if you haven't noticed, I was headliner last week at PP.  I was shocked and happy at that.

This week I played with the brick embossing folder. It's a 6x6" folder, which is great for those square cards we like to do sometimes.  But can be used for smaller cards too.  I used a white marker in the grooves for the concrete grout.  I'm really enjoying using the Thinlit words.  They come in really handy.

I had a really hard time with cleaning this photo up I'm afraid, the white base card hardly shows at all, but it's here.  I hope this gives you ideas of your own, thanks for stopping by.
Here in AZ we are in full summer mode, it's also monsoon season, so we are having a lot more humidity then usual and often the whole day or at least part of it is over cast and we are getting thunder and lightening storms.
