PCC371 Sketch Challenge with Stampin' Up! Timeless Tropical Bundle and Label Me Bold Stamp Set

Hello and Happy, Happy, Hump Day!  What a week I've had already!  I'm so glad that I've made it half way through it!  This week over at The Paper Craft Crew we have another Sketch Challenge!

I used the gorgeous Timeless Tropical Bundle and Label Me Bold Stamp Set along with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder for my card this week.  

My background panel is a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Melon Mambo Cardstock that was stamped with a few of the splatter stamps in the Label Me Bold Stamp Set and then embossed with the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder.  I matted that on a very skinny layer (4 1/8" x 5 3/8") of Petal Pink Cardstock and then adhered them to an A2 Thick Whisper White Card Base.  I used a scrap of the Lily Impressions DSP (freebie during SAB for a $50 purchase) and used one of my Stitched Shapes Dies to cut it into a circle that was adhered to the middle of the card front.  Next I stamped the floral and leaf images from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set in Soft Suede onto Whisper White Cardstock and used my Stampin' Blends to color them in... the colors of the blends were Light and Dark Lovely Lipstick, Light and Dark Daffodil Delight and Light and Dark Granny Apple Green.  Once colored and cut out the coordinating dies, the floral and leaf images were arranged and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals over the circle allowing some of the gorgeous colors in the DSP to peak through.  I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Label Me Bold Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock Ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock and cut it out scissors and then attached to the card front with Mini Dimensionals.  Finally I colored three Gold Glitter Enamel Dots with Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends and adhered them to the card front to finish it off.  I love how this turned out.  I hope you love it too!  Sketches are always so fun to use to kickstart the creative process!

OSAT Blog Hop - Sixteen Candles

Hello and welcome to the One Stamp At a time February 2020 Blog Hop!  This month we are all about birthdays!!!  If you've already been hopping, thanks so much for continuing!  If you are starting with me, please make sure you use the blog roll at the bottom of this post to navigate the hop!  You will find so much wonderful inspiration with this talented group of crafters!!

I finally had the chance to use the fabulous Under My Umbrella Bundle from Stampin' Up!'s January - June Mini Catalog!  I absolutely ADORE this set!  I can't believe I hadn't already used it!  

My inspiration for the colors came from the beautiful Pigment Sprinkles that I used on my  Watercolor Panel in the background.  A 3 x 4" piece of  watercolor paper was spritzed with water and then sprinkled with some of the beautiful Bermuda Bay Pigment Sprinkles.   After adding the sprinkles, I spritzed the watercolor paper two additonal times and moved it from side to side to spread that gorgeous color!  When I was happy with the background, I used a paper towel to dry up any of the color that was trying to escape the edges of the paper and then used my heat tool to dry it completely!  My top folding cardbase was made out of  half sheet of Bermuda Bay Cardstock.  I ran a piece of the gorgeous Lily Impressions DSP on the left side of my cardbase.  The front panel was added with Dimensionals onto the center of the card front. For the umbrella, I stamped it directly on a scrap of the Lily Impressions DSP in Memento Tuxedo Black and punched it out with the coordinating Umbrella Builder Punch. I used a scrap of Smoky Slate Cardstock for the umbrella handle.  The boots and several of the different little flower images were stamped onto scraps of Whisper White Cardstock with Memento and colored using Stampin' Blends duos in Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, and Blackberry Bliss. The flowers and boots were super easy to fussy cut and I used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to go around the edges so no white was showing.  I added the umbrella with Dimensionals at the bottom of the panel.  I used multipurpose adhesive to adhere the top and bottom of the umbrella handle so I could slide a small piece of Whisper White twine under the handle to tie a bow.  I added the boots and all of the flowers with mini dimensionals.  A scrap of Daffodil Delight Cardstock was used to cut out the round sentiment label using the Painted Labels Dies (part of the Painted Poppies Bundle!).  I heat embossed the It's Your Day sentiment in White in the middle of the painted labels die cut and adhered it partially with a mini dimensional (left side) and partially with Multipurpose Adhesive.  I finished the front off with three sequins from the Woven Threads Sequin Pack.  

Here's the inside of my card...

For the inside, I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.  In the lower left I added a partially open umbrella die cut with the same Lily Impressions DSP and then added a few more of the flowers on the edge of the umbrella.  .  

I made a little Mini Curvy Keepsake treat box to go with my card...

I cut the mini curvy keepsake box out of more of the Lily Impressions DSP.  I cut out a small tag (also in the die set) and stamped one of the smaller flower bouquets onto the tag and colored them in with my Stampin' Blends and added three of the Woven Thread Sequins.  I used Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding and some Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine to close the mini curvy keepsake box and add the tag.    So simple but so cute and perfect any little treat!

PCC370 Inspiration Challenge - Spring in Bloom with Stampin' Up! Timeless Tropical Bundle

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  It's time for another Paper Craft Crew challenge and this is one that I believe everyone will love!  It's an Spring in Bloom Inspiration Challenge.. how fun!

I just received my Timeless Tropical Bundle from Stampin' Up! so I couldn't wait to ink it up.  It is a heavy sketch type of stamp and after looking at pretty much everything on Pinterest I decided to stamp it in a Melon Mambo and use my Stampin' Blends.  I really love how it turned out!

For my background I used a piece of watercolor paper and Pigment Sprinkles in Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green for a watercolored background.  I spritzed the watercolor paper with water first and added the Bermuda Bay towards the top of the panel and sprayed three or so more times to alow the color to move and then dried with my heat tool.  I did the same thing on the bottom of the panel with the Granny Apple Green.  Once it was completely dry I splattered a little bit of white paint on it and matted it in Whisper White.  I stamped my flower onto Whisper White Cardstock in Melon Mambo.  The leaves were stamped in Garden Green on Whisper White as well.   I used light and dark  Lovely Lipstick and Daffodil Delight Blends to color in the flower and Light and Dark Mossy Meadow to color in the leaves.  I adhered the flower and leaves with Dimensionals. The "aloha" from the coordinating dies was cut out in Whisper White twice and adhered one on top of the other and then glued the layered aloha onto the upper right side of the card front panel.  The matted floral layer was added to the Bermuda Bay top folding card base with Multipurpose Adhesive.  To finished it off I added three sequins from the SAB freebie Metallic baker's twine and sequins combo pack.  I adore how it turned out.  I thought about adding another flower but the background was so striking that I hated to cover it up!  If you are interested in any of the products used, I'll have a supply list at the bottom of this post!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

PCC369 Sketch Challenge with Stampin' Up! Timeless Tulips

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  I'm back with the Paper Craft Crew Design Team with my take on  this sketch... 

Here's my card...

My background is a Stitched Rectangle die cut using the Golden Honey DSP from the current Sale-a-bration catalog!  It is gorgeous paper and free with a $50 purchase.  I borrowed an idea from the fabulous Dena Rekow at the Creativity Cave and sponged color in the upper right and lower left corner.  I used Granny Apple Green and Pool Party for my sponging!  I backed the panel with some Gold Foil and adhered to a Thick Whisper White A2 Cardbase.  On a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock I stamped the tulips from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set in Pool Party for the buds and Granny Apple Green for the stems and leaves.  Once stamped, I cut the tulips out with a Stitched Square from the Stitched Shapes Dies and backed it with another piece of the Gold Foil Sheets.  I cut a small gold foil banner and layered it under the square with multipurpose adhesive and attached the square with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I die cut a small decorative strips from the dies in the Painted Poppies bundle with Whisper White and adhered to the lower front of the square.  I added the "celebrate" sentiment in Granny Apple Green that was cut using a Concord & 9th die... I liked it because it was small and fit onto the white decorative strip well.  Finally I finished it off with three Gold Enamel Glitter Dots.   I love the way it turned out!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings, Tina
