F4A65 – Opposites Attract …

Wanted to get some more use out of my cupcake punch and stamps.  Haven't used Concord Crush much at all.  It is so pretty!  I love it!  So glad we get another year out of it!  Need to use it some more.  :)

Anyway, this is for Split Coast Stampers challenge.  It was an interesting challenge and wanted to give it a try.  I like these cards.  They make me smile.  After making the first (one without the white border) I decided the purple needed a bit of something.  So I trimmed it down and ran it through with the swiss dot folder.  I think that finished it off just right.  :)

So which do you like best.  LOL

Think this is my favorite.

Ink:  black, blushing bride, pear pizzazz

Paper:  so saffron, whisper white, concord crush, Sweet Stitches, and DS in color LVL 1 hostess

New Baby FS224

This week's featured stamper is Carly, aka PaperInBloom. Check out her gallery here!  Go can to her gallery and CASE a card or two, following the guidelines:

1. Change 2 or more things on the card. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. List the changes in your description.

2. Give credit to the original stamper. Put a link to the original card in your description.

I changed the stamps and color.   Liked her card layout and bow with button and twine.  Now I need to make a few boy ones.  :)   I loved looking through her gallery.  She has such a clean design; it is pretty and easy on the eyes. I may try a few more.  :)

Soft sky plane & simple

I was perusing Paperinbloom's gallery at SplitCoastStampers and found this card to CASE.  I have enjoyed her clean and simple designs.  I cut a frame so I could sponge soft sky on the whisper white.  So, I have 6 father's day cards DONE!!  Yeah!

Happy Saturday!

A Blushing Cupcake

These colors are so pretty together!  I sat looking at them but with no idea what to do with them.  LOL  I hadn't used this cupcake set yet.  So, here is my first try. 
I used a 2-way glue pen on the sprinkles stamp then added the glitter.  :)
I used the decorative label punch behind wish big.  You can find a how-to video by Mary Fish here.  Isn't that cool!  Try using the other side of the punch as well.

Ink:  blushing bride, perfect plum, sahara sand, rich cocoa
Paper:   blushing bride, perfect plum, sahara sand, & very vanilla
Accessories:  Very vanilla seam binding, nestabilities, build a cupcake punch, decorative label punch, word window punch, rinestones, supernova glitter pink, pop dots, & backgrounds texture plate

Summer Splash

This was so fun to create.  I made this for the Cards for Men Challenge 11 - No Paper.  No designer paper that is.  :)  And CS141.

I had just seen this technique and thought I would try it.  Okay, So I took a piece of whisper white and sponged it with tempting turquoise then edged it with the pacific point.  Then I wet my right hand and flicked the paper.  That creates the water spots.  :)  Used wild wasabi then old olive and ran it through the Big Shot for the strip.  The color on the octopus was add when I thoughtlessly layed it down to add the glue.  So, to fix it I spritzed the ink on the mat and lightly dabbed the octopus in it.  Turned out really fun I think.

Happy Tuesday!

The octopus is heat embossed with wild wasabi embossing powder.

Stamps:  Summer Splash, All Holidays

Ink:  tempting turquoise, pacific point, old olive, wild wasabi & black

Paper:  whisper white and old olive

Accessories:  Nestabilities, spots and dots folder
