The Spot Challenge #110 - Inspiration Challenge with Stampin' Up! Postive Thoughts

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's time for another Creative Challenge over at The Spot.  This week we have a beautiful inspiration challenge!

I loved the colors in this bouquet so I chose to make another type of floral bouquet in Pinks, White, and Wine (or in this case Merry Merlot!). 

The flowers and leaves were from the Postive Thoughts stamp set and coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies.  I thought the dotted lace ribbon added another hint to the inspiration photo without actually making this a wedding card.  I always need Birthday Cards!

Top Folding Card Base:  Thick Whisper White Cardstock 11" x 4 1/4", scored at 5 1/2" 

Front Panel: 4 1/4 " 5 1/2" Whisper White embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Emb Folder

Stitched Panel:  Whisper White cut with the Nature's Thoughts Dies

#TTTC054 Challenge Card with Stampin' Up! Postive Thoughts Stamp Set, Nature's Thoughts Dies and Label Me Bold Stamp Set

Hi There and Happy Sunday.  Today is the first day of the dreaded "lose an hour" time change.  Once more my body is tired and confused!  While mindlessly scrolling through facebook I did notice a new to me Challenge called Tic Tac Toe Challenges!  Yay for Challenge Blogs!  So here's their Challenge for this week, #TTTC054!

I decided to go diagonally with Insects, Flower, and Gingham/Check by using Stampin' Up! Postive Thoughts Stamp Set along with the Coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies.  Once again.. I seem to be addicted to the Label Me Bold Stamp Set for my sentiment!

My Thick A2 Whisper White Cardbase has thin layer of Blackberry Bliss and a panel of the new Pleased as Punch DSP.  I added a two inch strip of Black Berry Bliss Cardstockon top of the Pleased as Punch Matted Layer and run a piece of the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding around it and tied it toward the top on the right side.  My stamped panel was Whisper White Cardstock that was run through the beautiful decorative rectangle die in the Nature's Thoughts Dies.  I stamped the fern onto that panel in Old Olive in both 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation stamping.  The sprigs and butterflies also from that die set were cut from scraps of Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss Cardstock.  I stamped the flower twice onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock in Petal Pink and then used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I adhered them to the stamped panel and topped with a flower center cut from the dies with another Blackberry Bliss Scrap.  I also cut the little decorative edge from the set with more Blackberry Bliss and adhered under the Label Me Bold Sentiment on the lower left side.  

Thanks a tone for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

Stampin' Up! Postive Thoughts and New Coordinating Natures' Thoughts Dies

Hi There.  I finally had the opportunity to play with the gorgeous Stampin' Up! Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and the coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies that just came out.  I thought I'd share the cards I made.  The first one used a sentiment from another stamp set since I wanted something that I could use with the classic label punch.

So my first card is a base of Pool Party Cardstock.  The background is some of the Golden Honey DSP (the black and white side) that I had sponged pool party into the top portion and Granny Apple Green onto the lower portion.  I used one of the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut it out and matted it in Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  I stamped the butterfly in Pretty Peacock Ink directly onto the background.  I also did some 1st and 2nd generation statmping of the greenery in Granny Apple Green directly onto the background.  I also stamped the greenery in Granny Apple Green onto Whisper White Cardstock and used the coordinating dies to cut it out.  I stamped the flower in Flirty Flamingo onto Whisper White and cut it out the dies as well.  I cut the feather out in Whisper White Cardstock and some of the small greenery were cut with scraps of Garden Green.  The sentiment from the Special Someone stamp set was stamped onto Whisper White in Pretty Peacock Ink.  I used the Classic Label Punch to punch it out and add it to the right side.  

This was such a simple card.  I used a Whisper White Thick Cardstock base.   The background is from the Pleased as Punch DSP and the sentiment from Positive Thoughts was stamped directly onto the DSP in Blackberry Bliss Ink.  I used the beautiful decorative rectangle from the Nature's Thoughts Dies to cut out my panel and matted it with Blackberry Bliss Cardstock.  The greenery was stamped onto Whisper White Cardstock in Granny Apple Green and the flower and butterfly were stamped in Blackberry Bliss and all cut out with the coordinating dies.  The die cut greenery was added with Multipurpose Adhesive directly onto the rectangle and the flower and butterfly were popped up with Dimensionals.  So simple and yet so pretty!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope if you already have this stamps and dies that you have taken the time to play with them.  They really are so pretty!  Blessings, Tina
