CAS Season of Change

Hi Friends!!

I hope you had a fantastic Monday!  Whenever I am designing a card, I tend to create a few “trial” pieces that as I mentioned in my last post, usually end up in a scrap bin or filed for a later date.

In an effort to "complete what I started" :-) , I decided to finish one of the panels that used the Pals Paper Arts PPA274 Color Challenge and also link this to the Addicted to Stamps and More #169 Clean and Simple  Challenge.

I hope you have a chance to visit the above sites and check out all of the wonderful inspiration!

To create this card:

Using Sponge Daubers, apply Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Chocolate Chip to the maple leaf from the retired Season of Change from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (SNSS).

Stamp onto Whisper White cardstock, masking a few of the leaves as you continue stamping.

Ink the sentiment with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink and stamp along the edge of the panel.

Use the Stampin’ Write Chocolate Chip Marker with the Color Spritzer Tool to add a bit of “distressing” and stamp the bold splatter from Gorgeous Grunge with Crushed Curry Classic Ink (stamping off before stamping onto the panel).

Trim the panel and mount onto Calypso Coral cardstock , trim and mount onto the Chocolate Chip card base to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Season of Change (retired SNSS)

Ink:  Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Chocolate Chip; Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write Marker

Paper: Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Sponge Daubers, Color Spritzer Tool

Thanks again for stopping by- I will be sharing the new SUO Challenge shortly :-)  I hope all of you have a terrific Tuesday!

Prim Blessings- Keep Your Face to the Sunshine

Hi Again Friends!

I wanted to share one more card that I created last night using the Pals Paper Arts PPA274 Color Challenge along with the Mojo422 Sketch Challenge.

I decided to pull out Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) Prim Blessings along with their coordinatingdies to create this fun card.

This card was fun and fairly easy to create:

Stamp the Sweet ‘n Sassy (SNS) Prim Blessings images using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.

Color the sunflower images using Stampin’ Write Crushed Curry, Chocolate Chip and Calypso Coral Markers.

Use the Big Shot™ with the coordinating Prim Blessings Dies to cut out the sunflowers.

Layer the sentiment panel onto Chocolate Chip cardstock and add the Natural Linen  Thread above the sentiment.

Layer the embossed Calypso Coral Designer Series Paper (DSP) onto Whisper White cardstock, trim and add to the Chocolate Chip card base.

Layer the 1 ¼” Burlap Ribbon onto a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock, mount the retired Crushed Curry DSP onto Chocolate Chip 

cardstock and layer the panels to the card front per the sketch.

Mount the sentiment panel to the card front using dimensional foam and add the Natural Linen Thread bow along with the sunflowers. 

Add the Chocolate Chip button to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: PrimBlessings (SNSS)

Ink: Memento™ Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Write Markers- Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, retired Calypso Coral and Eastern Elegance DSP (all Stampin’ Up!)

Accessories: Big Shot™, Prim Blessings Dies (SNSS), Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, Natural Linen Thread, retired Chocolate Chip button (Stampin’ Up!)

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- hugs and have a blessed day, my friends!
