SIP Challenge #53 CASE The Designer

Hello and Happy Tuesday!   This week's challenge at  Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge is going to be so much fun!!  The theme is CASE the Designer.. just pick one of the design team cards and CASE it!  How awesome is that!

So here's my card for this week.  I hope you aren't tired of the Playful Palette DSP yet!  I had to use it again to pair with the Easel in the Painter's Palette stamp set to make a shaker card!

I started with a Basic Black 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" cardbase scored at 4 1/4".  I added a 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Emerald Envy cardstock and then a 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" piece of the Playful Palette DSP.  I stamped the easel in Archival Black Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then fussy cut the outside of it.  I used one of the Layering Square Framelits to cut out the inside.  I used a larger size of the Square Framelits to cut out the window sheet and the piece of Very Vanilla that I stamped on.  The new thin foam strips are perfect for making shaker cards!  I added a few black seed beads and some small black Pretty Pink Posh sequins!  I layered my Washi Tape on Very Vanilla and fussy cut them out to use as my base for the easel.  I popped the two strips of Washi up with foam tape since the Shaker Easel had dimension from the foam strips.

I think I love the inside as much as the outside!

OSAT Blog Hop - Summer Lovin'!

 Hello and welcome to the June One Stamp At A Time Summer Lovin' Blog Hop! If you have already been hopping you should have landed here from my friend Megan Thompson's blog!  Megan always has awesome stuff so if you started with me, make sure you hop all the way through and check her blog out! 

What do you think of when you think of Summer??  Well living in Tennessee, I think of heat and trying to find a way to cool off.  What better way than Ice Cream, right?? 

I was super happy that the awesome Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set was carried over into the new Stampin' Up! Catalog!  I just love this set!  Do you know what else reminds me of Summer?  These awesome bright colors in the Playful Palette Suite!  I just adore the Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum paired with the black!  

I love the matching Playful Palette Washi Tape too!  In my card, I attached the Washi Tape to Very Vanilla cardstock and then cut it allowing a thin border.   The ice cream cone was stamped tone-on-tone with Peekaboo Peach.. I really think it looks so much like an actual cone! The ice cream scoops were punched with the Tree Builder Punch out of Very Vanilla (bottom scoop) and Playful Palette DSP for the two top scoops.  The sentiment was stamped using the Thoughtful Banners stamp set with Archival Black Ink onto Peekaboo Peach Cardstock.  I used my Duet Banner Punch to punch out the sentiment layer as well as a Black banner layer behind the sentiment.  I added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins from their Spring Mix to finish off the front.

The sentiment stamped on the inside is also from the Sprinkles of Life stamp Set.  I added a couple of pieces of Washi Tape on the inside to match the outside.

My Post-It-Note holder is an Easel card base in Sweet Sugarplum. If you've never made an Easel card, click here to an earlier blog post where I have instructions and pictures.  I used the same three Washi Tape Strips as my card front.  The Live Laugh Love sentiment is from the Layering Love Stamp Set.  I cut it out the a Mama Elephant Die Set for the scallop edge.  I can't wait to get my hands on the new Layering Circle Framelits but unfortunately I don't have them yet :(

SIP Challenge #50 - Sketch!

Hello and welcome to Stamp, Ink, Paper's Challenge #50!  This week we have an awesome sketch challenge.  I hope you'll head over and check out all of the design team's cards.  I love how a sketch can take you in so many directions.

Here is where the sketch took me this time.. 

I couldn't wait to use some of this new Playful Palette DSP that my sweet upline sent me.  I have to tell you that once I saw it in person, I couldn't believe I hadn't added it to my own preorder!  I just love the designs!  So on this card I started out with an 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Peekaboo Peach cardstock scored at 5 1/2".  I added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that was 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" to mat my Playful Palette DSP that was cut 3" x 5 1/2".  On a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped my brush strokes from the Painter's Palette stamp set. I then stamped the sentiment over the brush strokes in Archival Black Ink.  I added some black splatters with the Black archival ink as well.  I used my MFT zig zag dies to cut sentiment circle and the black circle mat.  Fast Fuse was used to adhere my black circle layer and I popped up the sentiment circle with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I cut some Silver Sequin Trim and adhered just under the sentiment circle with a glue dot.  I added three other silver sequins on my card to finish it off.  I absolutely adore this sentiment and it makes the perfect birthday card for my sweet friend Suzi!  I'm going to drop it by her house tomorrow!
