Delicate Doilies and Petite Pairs--CCMC166

I continue to grab the Delicate Doilies stamp set on a regular basis.  I just love the many different looks you can achieve with it.  This card was submitted for the Create With Connie and Mary Challenge 166 and uses Soft Suede, Marina Mist, and Blushing Bride.  The polka dot ribbon was an accident about a year ago.  I left my black stamp pad open and apparently had a piece of melon mambo polka dot ribbon stretched across it.  It absorbed all that black ink and presented itself as soft suede!

Create With Connie and Mary and Stamping 411 Take Two

The Delicate Doilies stamp set will soon make its debut in the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog, and I used one of the stamps from this set along with some retiring DSP and ribbon to make this card.  The Color Challenge at Create With Connie and Mary along with the design from Stamping 411 inspired this card.  Enjoy!





I used the following supplies to make this card:

Card Stock:  Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Old Olive
Stamp Pad:  Tangerine Tango
Punches:  2 3/8" Scallop Circle, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch
Other:  Turquoise Fire Square Brad, Tangerine Tango polka dot ribbon, Square Lattice embossing folder

Thanks to both Create with Connie and Mary and Stamping 411 for their inspiration. 

Have a great week!  I'll be back when I return from a few days of vacation.

Stamping 411 Challenge

I love having the time to participate in some of the great online card challenges, and summer is my time to do that so I turned to one of my favorites today.  The Stamping 411 website is a great inspiration for me so here is my take on this week's challenge.  I used Whisper White, Real Red and Basic Black along with the new Delicate Doilies stamp set which will be in the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog.  I embossed white on black and black on white and added an antique brad and a 1/8" real red taffeta bow for this one.  I also used the Polka Dot embossing folder for the background and finished it off with Happy Birthday from Tiny Tiny Wishes embossed in black and punched with the Word Window Punch.  Enjoy!
