Stippled Blossoms

Stipple Blossoms

Oh, I haven’t used this set, Stippled Blossoms in a while! I was looking at sets that were remaining in the catalog…and pulled this one out to use! This came together pretty easily, mainly because the base was already one. I just had to do the two-step stamping of the flowers and leaves, then cut them out! Love it when I can use up my “starts” pile!

Here are the details:

The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Pear Pizzazz, fold in half.
I cut a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Eggplant Elegance for the next layer.
At the bottom of the 3 3/4 x 5 Whisper White, I added a 2 x 5 piece of Watercolor Wonder Designer Paper.
Around the layers, I tied a piece of Pear Pizzazz Taffeta Ribbon.
The greeting is from Yippee Skippe and stamped in Elegant Eggplant in the right corner.
I stamped the roses from Stippled Blossoms with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant and the leaves with stamped-off and full-strength Pear Pizzazz. I cut them out and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

LOVE those purple roses! Wish I had some like them in my garden! Have a wonderful day!

Stippled Blossoms Favor

I can't believe that our session of Create with Connie and Mary's Card "Create"tions for All Occasions is already over! That time went by SOOOO fast! The designers have a last little favor for you that coordinates with the stamp set they used for Week 3. The stamp set I used was Stippled Blossoms. On my favor, I combined that set with the chalkboard technique that is all the rage right now. I made a cute little gable box to hold some candy or a small gift!

Here are the details:

I cut the box from Lucky Limeade cardstock by printing the template below on my cardstock. Tip: To avoid seeing lines from the printed template, cut inside the lines or use the reverse side.
I cut a 2 x 12 piece of Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper and wrapped it around the box.
Stamp the Thank You greeting from From My Heart stamp set with White Craft Ink on Basic Black and emboss with White Embossing Powder. Cut with the Label Framelit.
Use a sponge dauber and White Craft Ink to add a little "smeared chalk dust" around the front and the edges and adhere to the front of the box with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I stamped the small flowers from Stippled Blossoms stamp set with Regal Rose and Melon Mambo outlines, then cut them out. The leaves were Lucky Limeade ink and cut out.
Attach to the front and add Pearls for the centers.

I love this Stippled Blossoms set…I think everyone knows I love flowers! In fact, I used this set for one of my weeks on Create with Connie and Mary's Card "Create"tions! Today's Create with Connie and Mary sketch fit the images perfectly so I pulled it out again to use.

I think what makes this card so different is the colors! I'm a happy camper that Pool Party is staying in the lineup for the next catalog. I don't know what I would have done without it! I kept the rose simple…just stamped off with Real Red to get a two-tone look.

Here are the details:

The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Pool Party, folded in half.
I ran a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Whisper White thru the Big Shot with the Honeycomb Embossing Folders.
I cut a 2 x 4 1/2 piece of Sent with Love Designer Paper and offset towards the right side.
I cut a small 1/2" x 3" strip of Real Red cardstock with the Finishing Touches Edgelit and tucked it under the right top side of the Designer Paper towards the top. I also cut a 3/4" strip of Real Red for the Sweet Essentials greeting.
I stamped off the solid rose image from Stippled Blossoms with Real Red ink, then stamped it full strength with the outline image. I did the same with the leaves and Pool Party ink. The rose and leaves were placed on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finally, I added two pearls as accents and to fill the space a little on the Designer Paper.

I like the "trellis on trellis" look with the Honeycomb folder combined with the print from the Sent with Love Designer Paper!

CCMC-NC5 – Stippled Blossoms

Wow! Can you believe the Create with Connie and Mary New Catalog 2012 Edition is OVER already? Didn't that time go fast? Don't worry, we leave the session up for over a year after it ends…you'll have plenty of time to refer back to the projects we've done during the session. And…it really isn't too late to join! These projects all feature NEW stamp sets in the big catalog…and they will be good ALL YEAR LONG!

Our last challenge is for the Design Team only. We have a FUN sketch challenge! Make sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team did with this sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary!

I used Stampin' Up!'s Stippled Blossoms stamp set for my sketch challenge card. And, I made my very favorite rose…the Peace rose…Daffodil Delight with a touch of Calypso Coral!

The base of the card is Lucky Limeade. I layered on Whisper White, then a strip of the Daffodil Delight Polka Dots on Parade Designer Paper. On top of that I used two of the patterns in the Tasteful Trim XL Die out of Lucky Limeade…the zig zag and the scalloped pieces. I added the Calypso Coral Designer Label Framelit and stamped Happy Birthday Wishes from Petite Pairs in Always Artichoke on top. The rose was first stamped with Daffodil Delight and then Calypso Coral over top on scrap Whisper White. I did the leaves with Lucky Limeade and Always Artichoke on top. They were cut out and placed with Stampin' Dimensionals on top of the Designer Label framelit. As a final touch, I added a Daffodil Delight button tied with Baker's Twine.
