Rue Des Fleurs

It's Thursday and time for another challenge from Create with Connie and Mary!  This week we have a color challenge for you using one of the retiring In Colors…Peach Parfait!  It will help you use up some of that stock that you have on hand! 

 

I haven't used Stampin' Up!'s Rue Des Fleurs stamp set much, but I do like it…very different style than the one I normally use!  It is in the Occasions Mini Catalog that ends on April 30th, so don't delay getting it!   I thought it paired nicely with this color combination! 

 

 

I started with a base of Peach Parfait cardstock.  I layered on Night of Navy polka dot Patterns Designer Paper.  I made a bow from the Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon and secured the ends behind the DSP.  I cut the Label Framelit from Sahara Sand and used Finial Press Impressions Folder (it is RETIRING!  Oh no!) on it.  Then I cut another Label of Very Vanilla and stamped the corset from Rue Des Fleurs in Night of Navy Classic Ink.  I added a bit of color with the Peach Parfait Stampin' Write Marker on the flowers and added Pearls along the sides of the Label.  Before I placed it on the card, I added a pennant of Night of Navy cardstock between the Labels to make it pop!  Finally, I stamped Thanks from this same stamp set in Night of Navy along the bottom.

 

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!  Then grab your Stampin' Up! stamps and play along!

Wow…can you believe we've come to the end of the Occasions 2012 Edition of Create with Connie and Mary!  It has been SO fun unveiling all the Design team projects every day.  And WOW!!!  Some really great ideas…we hope you thought so, too!  I can't wait to make up some of their ideas myself!  We'll be back soon for the New Catalog 2012 Edition!

 

Our last Challenge for the Occasions Edition is for the Design Team Members…we used a fabulous sketch!  I know I'll be using this one again!

 

 

I used Rue Des Fleurs for my card, one of the sets we've been featuring this week in the Occasions Edition!  I'm really liking this set, but the corset is one of my favorites!

 

 

I started with a base of Pool Party and sponged around the edges with Soft Suede Ink.  I cut a piece of the Attic Boutique Designer Paper for the background and layered it on Soft Suede.  I stamped the corset from Rue Des Fleurs in Soft Suede, then lightly colored the flowers in Pool Party and So Saffron.  I used the Labels Collection Framelit to cut it out and layered on the larger size of Soft Suede.  The edges were sponged again with Soft Suede.  I added the string of pearls for the top and the bottom and bent them to fit the curve of the label.  This was popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I punched the flowers with the Boho Blossoms punch in So Saffron and Soft Suede and layered them together, using a brown Glimmer Brad in the center.  Finally, I stamped Thanks for the same set in Soft Suede on a pennant piece.  I love the vintage feel to this card…and I don't "do" vintage very often!  lol!

 

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team did with this sketch this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!

We're hosting a sketch challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary and everyone can play along!  Come join us this week!

 

 

I pulled out a new set, Rue Des Fleurs, for me (from the Occasions Mini) and put it together in order to make this card.  I think my favorite image is this pen…although I do like the corset, too!

 

 

I started with a base of Pool Party and layered on Soft Suede cardstock.  Then I added the floral pattern from Attic Boutique Designer Paper…so pretty!  I stamped the pen in Soft Suede and then the Thanks greeting, also in Rue Des Fleurs, in Calypso Coral on Whisper White cardstock.  Behind it I punched two Decorative Label Punches from Calypso Coral and layered them behind the Whisper White.  On the left side I punched a hole with the Crop A Dile and wrapped the Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon around and tied it with the Calypso Coral Bakers Twine.  On the right one, I added a trio of Pearls.  That element is mounted on Soft Suede that I ran thru the Big Shot with Finial Press Folder.
