Thinking of You, Mojomonday484


I have a customer, now also a friend who makes beautiful things.  But she says she has trouble "thinking outside the box".  In her case, she means using more then one stamp set or stamp die set on any given project.
I on the other hand will look for what suits my project best and can end up using 3, 4 or more sets.  I do try not to do too much of that, as I think it's frustrating for anyone reading my blog if they want to make said project and  it looks like they will have to purchase too many things to do so.

Sorry to say, this is one of those cards.  I used two sets that have been around for some time.  PPetite Petals and Flower shop, each has a punch that goes with.

TIP:  Flower Shop can be a problem punching out if something has not been pointed out to you.  It needs to be in the punch only one way.  If you look at the flower and then at the punch, there is one petal that has almost 3 kind of lumps on it.  On my card tha petal is top left, see the little piece that sticks out on the side of that petal? It's the only one like that.

The DSP is part of Blooms and Bliss.  As yet I don't have the stamp set, but I fell in love with this DSP!

I hope you enjoy and I am able to give you some inspiration.  Here is the link and sketch for Mojomonday this week.

Pals Paper Arts Sketch challenge #310, Make a Wish


We have a very different sketch challenge today, some people hit it right off, but it  took some thinking on my part for this one.
Here is the sketch.




What do you think? Easy?
The very first time I saw the new incolor Sweet Sugarplum close to my Rich Razzleberry, I knew they were the same color, Sweet Sugarplum is just a much lighter shade.  If youi look at my flowers you will probably think 2 are the same color, but they aren't. I have one of each, and they are done on Watercolor paper.  I love using my Aqua Brush, you can get so many more effects the with a marker.  See how some areas are lighter and some darker?  That is the look I love.

I'm kinda a bit of a control freak.  So, this suits me.  I used the little stamp in Timeless Textures for the splatter. To get this look for my flowers, I embossed the flowers in white, then colored in as I have said. The Bitty Butterfly is out of a piece of the Playful Palette DSP stack. I sure hope you enjoy.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts #255



Welcome.   Today's PPA challenge is a color challenge:

I do love blues and browns together, it's a great color combo for a guy card, but I just had to use flowers, right?   That piece you see in the center is from the new 12x12 DSP Neutrals Stack.  They have been all redone for this year and the patterns are fab.
Also, instead of White and Very Vanilla in this stack they have put Gold and Silver, it just doesn't get any better then that!

Very simple card, I hope you enjoy and it gives you some ideas of your own.  But hey, feel free to CASE, in SU talk that is Copy and Share Everything.

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.

You make me smile. PPA challenge 240


Better late then never. Still struggling with some problems that do not allow me to set at my desk and stamp, I sure love to play with techniques when I can and I have not been able to do that much.

But I am loving this. I used the Hardware background stamp with White Craft ink (it's pigment) on Marina Mist CS.   In my mind  I could see all the pretty green stems and colored flower climbing up that blue fence. I'd love to have one in my yard just like this. Not sure hubby would be all that happy. LOL.

I ended up using 3 stamp sets on this to get the look I wanted, but if you want to use mine for inspiration just check over what you have and substitute.

To look at the sets, or download catalogs, purchase, or just see what's new, click on any of the images below and you will be taken to my store.

Come on over to the PPA  challenge and post your own card. Never know who the team will pick and it's a lot of fun.
