Birthday Fiesta is the What Will You Stamp challenge set for this week. I had such a fun time making samples with this set that I will be sharing a new one every day this week! FIESTA!
This card is not my typical style or color choice but I think it turned out cute all the same. I used two new In Colors, Dapper Denim & Peekaboo Peach.
Do you have this set yet? Play along with us over at the WWYS blog. Have a great day!
Picture Perfect and Thoughtful Banners
It's full on summer. We spent the day at the beach yesterday for Father's day. It was so nice and relaxing. YEAH!!! In honor of summer, beaches and all things happy and sunny here is a nautically inspired card using the starfish image from Picture Perfect. You guessed it, Picture Perfect is this week's What Will You Stamp challenge set.
I wasn't really sure what direction to take this card when I started but I am please with how it turned out. I'm itching to use new catalog sets so I paired Picture Perfect with the new Thoughtful Banners stamp and Duet Banner punch. Bright, simple and sunny. The little bits of copper glimmer you see are from the Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape! Love it.
The pop of dark blue is the new Incolor Dapper Denim. Another LOVE IT.
Play along with us and check out the more great projects using Picture Perfect on the What Will You Stamp blog. Thanks for stopping by!.
Happy Father's DAY weekend. We have some fun things planned and hopefully you do too. I'm not sure crafting will make it into the mix this weekend so I made my Father's Day cards early. I figured I'd post these cards today, instead of tomorrow, in case you need some last minute Father's Day card inspiration! My Dad and Chris rarely follow the crafty blog posts so I think I am ok. I mailed my Dad's gift, sans card, last week. Oops. Looks like he'll be getting is card a little later.
These two cards use all sorts of fun new products. The Diagonal background stamp is going to be a very well used stamp. I LOVE It. These supplies lists are not for the faint of heart. Ouch! I guess I needed to use all sorts of new goodies.
You've got to love a good timeless greetings set. Greatest Greetings is just that, and it is the stamp set for this week's What Will You stamp challenge. This set works well with just about any image stamp set. I've paired it with the new Swirly Bird Stamp set & Thinletsfrom the Stampin' Up! catalog.
The primary color on this card is Sweet Sugarplum, a new SU InColor. This color is growing on me but I'm not sure I love it yet. Maybe it's just bad memories from a high school dance where I wore a similarly colored dress? Maybe this memory was my subconscious inspiration for this week's card? Between my giant hair and puffy/swirly dress I think this card totally reeks of 1989. What do you think?
