Something to say Archives - Inkspired Treasures

It’s Thursday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary weekly challenge…it’s a sketch this week…and a really FUN one! Grab your stamps and play along!

I love that this greeting set, Stampin’ Up!’s Something to Say, also has a couple little stamp images. In particular I love the star and flower! I let the Gold Soiree Designer Paper do all the “talking” again on this card, with a sprinkling of little flowers!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Pistachio Pudding folded in half.
I cut a 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 piece of Gold Soiree Designer Paper in the floral pattern and layered on a 3 3/8 x 4 5/8 piece of Garden Green cardstock.
Along the side, I punched a 1/2″ strip of Calypso Coral with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch.
I used the Banner Framelit to cut the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock.
I stamped the greeting with Garden Green on Whisper White and punched with the Decorative Label punch then popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the front.
Next I stamped the little flower in Something to Say with Garden Green Ink on Pistachio Pudding and Calypso Coral Ink on Calypso Coral cardstock and punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch.
Finally, I added the tiny pearls to the center of the flowers!

I hope you like it! Make sure to check out the rest of the challenge team to see what they’ve done this week with the sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Ahh, the things we do for our kids…even when they aren’t living at home anymore! Our son drove his wife and Carter to her parents’ home a few states away, then flew back home. He asked us to pick him up at the airport. No problem! Well, the original time to arrive was 11:45 PM…late enough! But because of storms and delays, he ended up getting in at 2:00 AM! Yep…this puppy is dragging today even though I got to sleep in a little. Our poor son had to get up early and go into work! I see a nap in my afternoon plans.

I was originally going to use this card for one of my Create with Connie and Mary challenges, but decided to go a different route. So, I thought I’d share it now. The Blended Bloom stamp is perfect for practicing with the Blendabilities. I hope they will be available to customers soon!

Here are the details:

The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Pool Party, folded in half.
I embossed the 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White with the Honeycomb folder.
On top of that I added the chevron pattern from Brights Backgrounds DSP.
The flower I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Pad on Whisper White and used the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Assortments of Blendabilities, then I cut it out. I added a Pearl in the center and placed it on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped Seize the Cake from Something to Say with Tuxedo Black on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and cut a flag end.
Finally, I punched two flowers from Itty Bitty Accessories from Pool Party and added Pearls to the center.

I really like how the warm yellow and orange pops against the coolness of the Pool Party!
