FF0087 Set Sail Joy Fold

 

I am playing along with the challenge over at festivefridaychallenge.com picking sport (sailing), encouragement, and fancy fold. I made a Joy Fold card with Misty Moonlight base at 11" by 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" then I cut the front panel in half. I added a piece of white card stock to the inside and then cut a white panel for the front half. I stamped the front panel in Misty Moonlight ink with the rope image several times from the Sailing Home set. I blended Coastal Cabana ink over with the blending brush. 

Next, I cut a piece of So Saffron card stock at 3" by 7 1/12" and scored at 3 3/4". I added a white piece inside it and then glues to the inside of my base. I cut a rope from the Smooth Sailing dies in Misty Moonlight card stock to add. For the front of the So Saffron piece, I cut a white panel and made my sailing scene. I blended the Coastal Cabana ink on the bottom and the So Saffron top. I stamped the Misty Moonlight inked sentiment from same set. I also stamped the boats on white card stock and cut with matching dies. 

Hope your day is smooth sailing and thanks for stopping by!

Pearlescent Shells

 

I love the Sand & Sea suite...all of it! However, the lovely Sand & Sea DSP will retire this week and I have been hoarding lots of it so needed to use some more today! I added a piece which is ombre with Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron to a Very Vanilla base. I then cut the pearlescent paper with the large shells die from Seaside Seashells dies then ran it through the matching embossing folder called Seashells 3D EF. Before all were attached a ran some Blushing Bride twine around and added a bow. 

I then stamped the sentiment from Beauty Of Friendship set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a oval of the same designer paper punched with the Double Oval punch.

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

FMS491 Black & Bay Thanks

 

I wanted to use more of the True Love DSP which is in black and white before it retires this week. It was perfect for the sketch challenge over at frshlymadesketches.blogspot.com this week.  I love coloring the designer paper with the blending brush and here I could pick four prints and color two with Bermuda Bay ink. I cut the panels 4" by 1 1/4" and added to a piece of Basic Black card stock after blending ink on two and then added to the Bermuda Bay base.  I stamped the sentiment on white cards tock in Bermuda Bay ink from the Ornate Thanks set and cut it with the Ornate Layers dies. I layered it to a rectangle of Bermuda Bay card stock. I cut a Basic Black butterfly from Brilliant Wings dies. Added a blue rhinestone from the retired Peacock rhinestones for bling. 

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

GDP297 Thank You Berries

 

My upline and friend Mary Fish over at stampinpretty.com had this sketch on her blog Wednesday and you can see her card here. I decided I would combine the color challenge over at global-design-project.com with it but when I sat down I knew I would grab the gingham print from the Pansy Petals DSP but not what set or sentiment I would use. I am glad I grabbed my berries from the Sweet Strawberry set since I have not used it in so long. I stamped the berries first in Blackberry Bliss ink on white card stock and then two stepped over to color in with Fresh Freesia ink. I then punched them out along with Pear Pizzazz stems with the Strawberry Builder punch which finally came back in stock recently! Yay! 

I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry ink from the same set on a white banner strip and I added the bow with white twine I colored with my Fresh Freesia light Stampin Blend marker. I then cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock and ran it through the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and layered it on the Pansy Petals DSP and a Fresh Freesia base. I finished it off with a few small pearls. I really like how it turned out. 

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

Seashells For Friends

 

I love playing with the Sand & Sea suite and wanted to use more of this designer paper before it retires at the end of the month. I used a lovely print from the Sand & Sea DSP for my background and layered it on a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock and a Sahara Sand base. I then stamped several sand dollars from the Friends Are Like Seashells in Flirty Flamingo ink on Sahara Sand and then cut them out with the Seaside Seashell dies. I stamped the sentiment on a white stitched oval in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added a few opal rounds along with the linen trim bow. 

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

PP546 Sweet As A Peach

 

I decided to play around with the new You're A Peach suite for the theme challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink and the peaches in Mango Melody with a little sponging with Calypso Coral ink on a white rectangle from the Sweet As A Peach set. The sentiment is from the same set stamped in Calypso Coral ink. I then layered it on a Calypso Coral piece of card stock cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. I then added to the piece of You're A Peach DSP. I ran a piece of retired Old Olive ribbon around before layering to the Old Olive base. I finished it off with some champagne rhinestones. 

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

Succulents On My Mind

 

When I was water coloring several weeks ago, I pulled out the Simply Succulent set and stamped the pot as well as the large succulent image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on shimmer white card stock. I used the water painter to add colors first to the pot in Cinnamon Cider and then the succulent in Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Pale Papaya inks. I then cut them out with the matching dies called Potted Succulents dies. I added them to a piece of Very Vanilla cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Memento and added some Opal Rounds for bling. I placed it on Fresh Freesia base to finish.

Hope you have a fab Tuesday!
