PP792 Relax

 

I am playing with Joanne's sketch challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com and this card is another for my son I grabbed some blue and gold. I wanted to use the gingham paper on everything so I started with it from the Gingham Gallery DSP pack in Hydrangea Hue with a piece of the same color behind on a white base. I then cut a strip of Golden Glow card stock and ran it through the Timber embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside set in Secret Sea ink on a piece of white card stock. I stamped the chair and bird in Pecan Pie ink from the same set on white card stock. I colored the chair with the light Golden Glow Stampin Blends marker and the bird with the light Hydrangea Hue marker. I cut them out with the matching dies and finsihed with Hydrangea Hue dots. 

Hope you can play along and have a beautiful day!

Birthday Triangle Treat Box For My Girl

 

I made a treat box to hold my daughter's lip gloss for her upcoming birthday! Check out the box from thepaperpixie.com here  My friend and fellow demo, Julie DiMatteo, always has what I need to make a 3D project.  I have a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock for my triangle box. I used different Lighter Than Air DSP patterns on all three sides. I used the cutouts from a retired emphera pack probabaly two years old. Sorry can't remember the name of this one. I tied a bow around with Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon and added some silver sparkle gems from a Paper Pumpkin kit. I stamped the sentiment from Simply Said set in Blue berry Bushel ink on a Fresh Freesia die cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies. 

My ends did not come out perfect so no photo of those. 

Have a w wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

PP791 Hello Sunshine For Her!

 

I made a card yesterday for this challenge but then decided it was not really clean and simple but go check it out. I am playing along today with Jan's clean and simple weather challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com   I have a Coastal Cabana base and another layer on top ran through with the Soft Waves embossing folder in the same card stock color. I then cut the white with the Textured Notes dies and stamped the sun from the Summer Happiness set in Crushed Curry and the sentiment from the Splash & Relax stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink. I am sending it off to my daughter before she heads this way for July! 

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sunshine!

 

I made this card for The Paper Players clean and simple weather challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com but I then decided it was not so clean and simple with lots of white space. I have made another for tomorrow to post for that challenge but this card will go out today to my son! I have used the Splash & Relax bundle as well as the Summer Happiness stamps. I have a Night Of Navy base and a layer of Coastal Cabana ran through with the Soft Waves embossing folder. I then cut a Textured Notes panel in white and added three colors with my blending brushes. I added Crisp Cantaloupe, Daffodil Delight, and Coastal Cabana inks. I then stamped the sun from the Summer Happiness set in Crushed Curry ink and the sentiment from the Splash & Relax set in Night Of Navy. I stamped on white card stock the beachballs in Coastal Cabana and Night Of Navy inks and cut with matching dies. I finished with some iridescent sequin. 

Thanks for stopping by and come look tomorrow for another version for the clean and simple challenge!

The Wild Bunch

 

Playing with a new set from SU! called Wild Bunch and you can get it for $5.00 this month when you spend $75.00 or more on an order. I also grabbed some new in color DSP called Gingham Gallery which will be available in the online exclusives next month for July 2026. I have a white base and layered the DSP on top. I then cut a banner from the in colors Peaceful Pine and Golden Glow with the Creative Haven dies. I cut the white circles from the Spotlight On Nature dies. I stamped the critters in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and and hand snipped them out to pop on after coloring them. I used the Stampin Blends markers in Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Petal Pink for the koala plus SU500. Cajun Craze, and Copper Clay for the bull. I heat embossed the sentiment from the set in white embossing powder after stamping in VersaMark ink on my color card stocks and then punched out with the Triple Banner punch. I finished off with a few in color dots. 

I am sending these out to my son and daughter soon. 

Thanks for stopping by and have abeautiful weekend!
