Sprinkled Expressions Valentine

Basic Grey, Blushing Bride, and Whisper White are featured in this card layout along with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper from the Occassion Mini Catalog.  The stamp set (Sprinkled Expressions) is available free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  I used lots of puches on this card including the label punch, the scallop circle punch, the 1 3/ 8" circle punch, the mini heart punch, the triple heart punch and the   punch.  I also used the blushing bride ribbon with the white edging.  This design can be used with each of the stamp images from the Sprinkled Expressions stamp set.  Watch for another version of this same card in the next few days.

Apothecary Art Stamp Set

I just love this new set--Apothecary Art--in the Occassion mini catalog, and the new lable framelets die with its various sizes is a perfect companion accessory for this stamp set.  I embraced the polka dots of this particular image when I embossed it in white and used the polka dot embossing folder on the Elegant Eggplant frame as well as the whisper white card front.  I finished it off with some black polk dot ribbon I recently purchased from the Stampin' Up! clearance rack.  Enjoy!

Fresh Vintage--Create With Connie and Mary and Stamping 411 Challenges

I spent the last few hours in my stamping refuge, and it was so wonderful to have time to be creative.  I took the time to get ready for my Sale-A-Bration Open House on Wednesday and then just started using my stamp sets, decorative paper, embellishments and tools from the Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration catalog.  What a relaxing way to spend the day. 

I decided to particpate in this week's Create With Connie & Mary Color Challenge and the Stamping 411 design challenge so here are the details.

Stamp Set:  Fresh Vintage (Sale-A-Bration)

Card Stock:  Whisper White, Peach Parfait, Cayipso Coral, Lucky Limeade

Ink:  Peach Parfait, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade Markers

Miscellaneous:  iioly Triple Layer Punch (cut each one in half and attach to white circle), Boho Blossoms Punch, Circles #2 Die (largest circle in white), Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder, Everyday Enchantment ribbon and brad (Sale-A-Bration), White 1/8" Taffeta, Dazzling Details

Apothecary Art

The new Occasions Mini Catalog is filled to the brim with some beautiful stamp sets, decorative paper and some new embossing tools.  One of my favorite new sets is called Apothecary Art and goes perfectly with the new Labels Collection Framelits.  I combined those two items with the Twitterpated Designed Series and the Adorning Accents Edgelit Die on my

 envelope and card, and here is what I came up with.

My color scheme is Blushing Bride, Whisper White and Baja Breeze.  I used the Stazon to stamp the image and greeting and used my markers (Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzaz) to add some color.

Enjoy!

Snow Swirled--CCMC179 and Saturday Sketch Challenge 233

I had a few extra minutes to stamp yesterday and decided to use the Create With Mary and Connie and Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge as inspiration.  I'm so glad these ladies do these challenges because they are such an inspiration to me particularly when life is really busy, and I don't have much time to get the cr

eative juices going.  This non-traditional color scheme for a Christmas card turned out nicely, and I liked the simplicity of the design.

Enjoy!

Ink: Versamark
