FF0084 Happy Birthday Perennials

 

Another bundle soon to retire at the end of June is the Pretty Perennials bundle. I grabbed it for the festivefridaychallenge.com as I picked flowers, twine and green. I kept myself from picking dies because I wanted to use this set as a background like I was making my own designer paper! I knew I wanted to use my fav green- Granny Apple Green for the challenge so I added some fun colors to go with it. I grabbed Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink plus Early Espresso. I stamped the flowers, leaves and stems around on a piece of Basic White card stock. I layered it on the Granny Apple base and then added a strip of Granny Apple card stock across with some white twine. I then stamped the sentiment in Polished Pink from the Artistically Inked set on a white strip. I added the double twine bow and some retired glitter dots in Granny Apple Green to finish it off. 

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

PP541 Birthday Flamingo

 

I love this flamingo bundle and want to use it more before it retires at end of June. So when I saw the polka dot challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com I grabbed it along with some True Love DSP which was white with black dots but I blended Polished Pink ink over it with my blending brush before adding to the white base. I then stamped my flamingo and flowers in Polished Pink ink with the Friendly Flamingo set and cut them with the matching Flamingo dies. I added them to the white Stitched Nested Label die. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on a white banner. I then colored my tiny rhinestones with the black Stampin Blends marker to add to my flowers for a little bling. 

Hope your day is fabulous and thanks for stopping by!

GDP292 Thanks With Hydrangeas

 

I love playing with purple! And the Hydrangea dies and paper as well!  I am casing the lovely Susan Wong today for the challenge over at global-design-project.com I decided to use the hydrangea dies like her but change it up to my fav color- purple! I also kept her layout and twine addition. I started with a piece of Basic White that I blended Highland Heather over with my blending brush. I then stamped the dots from Artistically Inked set in Gorgeous Grape to make my background. I stamped the sentiment in same color from the same stamp set on a white Potted Succulent label die. Love this die! I then cut from the Hydrangea Hill DSP three blooms with the Hydrangea die. I also cut some Old Olive leaves with the same die set. After popping it all on my background I just had to add a white twine bow and add all to a white base to finish it off. 

Hope you have a beautiful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

FMS485 Lovely Wishes With Art Gallery

 

I wanted to use more of my Fine Art Floral DSP and the Art Gallery bundle and this was a perfect time with the sketch challenge over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com  I grabbed a print in Pool Party and layered it on a Pool Party Base. I then cut a strip of vellum and added the banner at the bottom. I stamped the floral in Polished Pink ink and then the two step over it in Poppy Parade. Love how these two colors went together and pop. I stamped the leaves/stem in Old Olive ink. I cut then out along with the sentiments stamped in Polished Pink on white card stock with the Floral Gallery dies. I finished it off with a few pearls. 

Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

PP540 & GDP291 Wild Birthday

 

My first play with the In The Wild suite from the new annual SU! catalog. I knew when I saw Laurie's color challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com I could make something I love- a white tiger! 

This was also perfect timing for the birthday challenge over at global-design-project.com -A Wild Birthday to be exact!

 I started with my tiger I cut from the Big Cats dies in basic white card stock and stamped the face and stripes from the Wild Cats stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I then cut a Real Red circle and embossed it using the Animal Print embossing folder. I layered these on the Basic Black background embossed with the Subtles embossing folder and a white base. I then cut a few long and short leaf branches in Basic Gray card stock to layer at bottom of tiger. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink on white card stock and cut with the Messages label die. I love the way it turned out. 

Hope you have a wild weekend and thanks for stopping by!

FabFri213 Thinking Of Dragonflies

 

I thought this was a perfect time to grab some of the Dandy Garden DSP and make a Misty Moonlight card for the sketch challenge over at fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com  I used a Misty base and added the print of Dandy Garden on top after running some white/silver twine around. I then cut a white Stitched Shape square to pop my dragonfly punched from another print of the Dandy Garden paper with the Dragonflies punch. Under that dragonfly I also stamped one in Balmy Blue from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and punched out for a more 3D look but it does not show up well in photo. I then stamped the sentiment from Art Gallery in VersaMark ink on the Misty banner and heat embossed in white. I finished it off with my very last Misty Moonlight dot. 

I hope you have a fab Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Pretty Purple Pansy For An In Color Blog Hop

 

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “2021-2023 New In-Colors.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. Then, at the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

 I made a fun fold card which is not really fancy. I just thought it was fun! I used a thick white piece cut at 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" and layered some of the pretty Fresh Freesia gingham print from the Pansy Petals DSP. This is my fav new 2021-2023 in color and it really is a fresh purple color. I am using 4 out of the 5 awesome new in colors- Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulents.

 Here are the new 5 in colors- my friend Brian King over at stampwithbrian.com makes the best color combos and graphics...thanks Brian! 

 

 I then cut a piece of Basic White card stock 3 1/8" by 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4' to add on my base. I cut a Fresh Freesia scallop rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added another piece of the Pansy Petals DSP cut at 2 1/2" by 3 3/4" to this die cut. I used this piece because it has all five new in colors in it. All five work so well together which does not happen often. I then cut my pieces of my pansy/leaves from the Pansy dies in white, Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya card stocks. I then took my sponge daubers and added Fresh Freesia to the flower petals and Soft Succulent ink to the white leaves. After layering a cute pansy flower, I stamped the sentiment from the Pansy Patch set in Evening Evergreen ink on a white oval punched with the Double Oval punch. I finished of the outside with coloring a few rhinestones with my Fresh Freesia stampin blend marker and added the bling. 

Inside, I stamped the the sentiment also from Pansy Patch in Fresh Freesia ink. 

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on June 9th with “Fun Ways to Use Your Stampin’ Up! Products.” Participants showcase at least one of their favorite product tips. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft space.
