SIP Challenge #148 - Farmhouse Chic with Corcord & 9th Barnwood, Petals and Pallets

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope your week is off to an awesome start!  It was a gorgeous weekend here in Middle Tennessee.  I've still been a little under the weather but the beautiful sunshine shining down on me this past weekend sure made me feel just a little bit better!  

Are you ready for the coolest card challenge ever??  Stamp, Ink, Paper has an awesome one this week!  If you've been into Fixer Upper, Shiplap, and Farmhouses then you will love this one!

I used a couple of favorites from Concord & 9th... Barnwood Background Stamp and the Petals and Pallets Bundle!

Isn't that Barnwood Background Stamp awesome???  I embossed it in White on Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand Cardstock for my card front.  The pallet was cut out of Copper Foil Cardstock that was wiped with some Black Archival Ink to give it a bit of an aged look.  The flowers from the Petals and Pallets stamp set were stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink.  The leaves were stamped in Old Olive and Pistachio Pudding.  The flowers and leaves were layered in with Dimensionals.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

Pallet Birthday Card with Concord and 9th Petals and Pallets Bundle

Hello and Happy Tuesday evening!  I wanted to share my Pallet Card made with the Concord and 9th Petals and Pallet Bundle and the Happy Balloons Bundle!

I loved the idea of a Pallet Sign Card!  Pallets are so popular now. After I cut two pallets out of Kraft Cardstock, I used the coordinating wooden plank stamps in SU Crumb Cake Ink to add the woodgrain.  I heat embossed the Forever  Young sentiment in Black to make it stand out.  The Celebrate Balloon and Birthday Wishes banner were stamped in Black on Soft Sky Cardstock.  Those were both from the Happy Balloons Bundle.  I cut out the banner prior to stamping the sentiment... I found that made it easier.  To finish it off I added some Doodle Bug Sequins and some Natural Thread for the Balloon String.    I love how it turned out.   Hope you do too!  Have a wonderful day!

Blessings, Tina

SIP #104 Color Challenge with Concord & 9th Petals and Pallets Bundle

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you had a wonderful Father's Day weekend!  The card that I'm sharing for the Stamp, Ink, Paper Color Challenge this week is actually the card that I gave my sweet hubby for Father's Day!  

I was a little stumped with the colors at first but then I thought.. flowers!  You can pretty much make any colors work with flowers!  Jeff has worked so hard the last few years with our landscaping and flowers so I thought this card was perfect for him!

Actually Jeff and I just looked at some window boxes and deck boxes so I thought I'd pull out my brand new Concord & 9th Petals and Pallets Bundle and make a crate of flowers using the required colors in this week's challenge (SU Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Island Indigo).   I have to tell you that I saw the Concord & 9th video for this new bundle the night before it was released and I stalked their website until it was available!  I was afraid it would sell out if I didn't get it right away!   For this card I started with an 11" x 4 1/4" piece of 110# Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock that was scored at 5 1/2 for a top folding card.  I used the new SU Embossing Paste mixed with a drop of Crumb Cake reinker and the Brick Decorative Mask to make my background.  The wooden planks were stamped on Crumb Cake Cardstock with Soft Suede Ink.  After cutting out my crate I added the dove tail stamp for the corners and scored my cardstock to glue the back to my cardfront.  I stamped the flowers from the Stamp Set in Berry Burst and Island Indigo and my leaves in Lemon Lime Twist and cut them all out with the coordinating dies.  I also cut out a couple of fern leaves from the retired SU Botanical Builders Stamp Set.  I used the Lawn Fawn "happy" die to cut out Gold Foil Cardstock and adhered to the front of the crate.  The I'm with you sentiment is from the Mama Elephant Organic Blooms Stamp Set.  I stamped it with SU Berry Burst Ink onto white cardstock and cut it out with scissor and then adhered with tear tape.  Last but never least, I added three gold Pretty Pink Posh Sequins.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings!  Tina
