Saturday Blog Hop – Borders or Tags

By | Leave a Comment

This week’s blog hop theme is Borders or Tags!  Stampin’ Up! has a couple great new die sets….Border Basics and Tailor Made Tags that really enhance card making!  I wanted to use the tags in a little different way…can you spot the THREE tags on here?  I pulled out my Sweet as a Peach Bundle again…mostly because I love this Designer Paper!

SWEET AS A PEACH BUNDLE

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pale Papaya cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded to form the base card.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of You’re A Peach Designer Paper was added to the base.
  • Two of the largest scalloped edge tags were cut from Old Olive cardstock with the Tailored Made Tags Dies, then embossed with the Checks Embossing Folder.  They were added to the front, and the extra ends cut off the side.
  • Some Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon was fed thru the holes and tied in a bow (after the tag was added).
  • The smallest flat end tag was cut from Basic White cardstock and the reinforcer from Calypso Coral cardstock.  It was adhered together and then stamped with the Have a Peach Day greeting in Memento Black Ink.
  • The trio of peaches were inked with Pale Papaya Ink and sponged with Calypso Coral In on the edge, then cut with the Peach Dies.  The little leaves were cut from Pear Pizzazz with the double leaf.  One peach was added to the end of the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Genial Gems was added in the background for a little bling!

 

OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Brenda Nelson’s fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

CCMC669 – Sweet as a Peach

By | Leave a Comment

Hello!  It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.  It’s a pretty color combination that is quite popular in Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Papers.

SWEET AS A PEACH

I decided to pull out my Sweet as a Peach Bundle since the colors were so soft!  I paired it with the Pansy Petals DSP.  I love that gingham and I had these squares already cut and left over!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cinnamon Cider cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • On top the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Mint Macaron was embossed with the Bark Embossing Folder.
  • Two 2 x 2 gingham squares from Pansy Petals DSP were added to the left side.
  • A 1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Cinnamon Cider was added on top.
  • The Stitched So Sweetly scallop rectangle was cut from Basic White with the Die.  It was stamped with the Sweet as a Peach greeting in Cinnamon Cider Ink.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The peaches and flowers were inked with Pale Papaya (and a little Calypso Coral for a two-tone look) and stamped on scrap Basic White.  The leaves were stamped with Mint Macaron.  All were cut with the Peach Dies.  They were added on front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Champagne Rhinestones were added to the peaches and center of the flower.

Yep!  Love this color combination!  Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this color combination over on Create with Connie and Mary!

IM180 – Artistically Inked

By | Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  This week we have a colorful print!

ARTISTICALLY INKED BUNDLE

Sometimes I struggle on where to go with an inspiration piece.  I looked thru all my dies and saw this leaf branch in the Artistic Dies and thought I could make it work with these colors!  It ended up being pretty easy to do!

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Polished Pink cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Black cardstock.
    • Two of the leaf branches from Artistic Dies were cut from Basic White cardstock, then colored with Sponge Daubers and Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green and Coastal Cabana Ink Pads.  They were adhered to the Basic Black layer.
    • The 1 x 4 piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock was stamped with the Happy Birthday greeting from Artistically Inked stamp set in Memento Black Ink.
    • A 1/2 x 4 piece of Polished Pink cardstock was layered under the greeting, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Two In Color Jewels were added on the sides of the greeting.

Pretty cool how this turned out!  The colors really POP off the black background!  And I think it is a pretty neat representation of the inspiration piece!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

  • A 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Basic White was added to the right side.
  • The plant and container were hand-cut from the DSP (I love this sheet of plant images!) and added to the Basic White piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A 1/2 x 3 piece of Cinnamon Cider was added across the top.
  • The greeting was stamped on scrap Basic White cardstock with Evening Evergreen Ink and punched with the Double Oval Punch.  It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
