Sailing Home and Come Sail Away for Just Add Ink #512

Happy Tuesday. I have a card for you toinght featuring one of my favorite Stampin' Up! sets - Sailing Home. The sketch across at Just Add Ink is an usual one and just screamed "use lots of DSP" at me! So, as it was screaming use lots of DSP, being a well-brought up young lady (HA!) I obeyed :-) I used 3 different DSPs from the Come Sail Away DSP (another set I'm hoarding) and cut them to fit the sketch. For the central element, I cut a circle in white and popped it onto a Night of Navy circle.... Read more →

Forever Blossoms for Paper Players #498

Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week. For my card, I decided to ink up the main flower from the Stampin' Up! Forever Blossoms - one of my favorites. Here's our challenge: Anyone who has followed me for a while knows that fancy folds aren't "my thing". I always do the same old A2 with almost no variation. So, it was wonderful to be pushed out of my comfort zone this week. Mine is a pretty easy fold - front piece of the card stock folded in half - back on itself!... Read more →

Peony Garden Detailed Bands for As you See It #228

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. I have a card for you today showcasing the gorgeous DSP in the Stampin' Up! Peony Garden designer series paper. I paired it with a fancy die from the Detailed Bands die collection and.... it even has a ribbon and bow! I created the card using the Potpourri of goodies called out in the new challenge across at As You See It My DSP was a piece I had left over - so that covered the scraps. The one word sentiment is hello. The color I used is Petal Pink... Read more →

Honey Bee for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #373

Happy Saturday! I have a quick post for you tonight featuring my much-loved (retired) Stampin' Up! set - Honey Bee. I know this set is retired, but you are going to continue seeing it for a long time to come. :-) As always, I was stumped for a sketch, so popped along to AtlanticHearts. They always have great sketches - and they have all of their archived sketches available, which is great! Here's this week's sketch: I actually made a couple of different cards influenced by this sketch - and you will see those later in the week. For tonight's... Read more →

Forever Fernery for FreshlyMade and Color Throwdown

Happy Friday! I have another card to share with you using the new Stampin' Up! Forever Fernery set that will be available June 3rd. Over the last week or so you have seen multiple examples with more layers and DSP than I normally use. For this card, I went Clean and Simple the whole way! Here are the colors from Color Throwdown and the sketch from Freshly Made: I fell in love with the crisp black, white and turquoise colors across at CTD and was very flummoxed by the sketch across at FMS. Now... one of the whole things about... Read more →
