Sweet Stem Polka Dots

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's card is using up some more of my card guts and retired DSP but can easily be adapted to different colors!



I started with a WW card base, added a panel of Rose Red and some retired Raspberry Tart DSP. I stamped one of the flower images from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set in Rose Red and Old Olive and punched the out with the 1/2" Circle Punch and layered them on Regal Rose punched out with the 3/4" Circle Punch. I added some Old Olive Grograin Ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Black Stazon and added some Old Olive flowers on the end. It's punched out with the Word Window Punch.

Have a terrific stamping day!

Sweet Tart

Hi there Stampers!

Today's card uses more retired stuff but I am on vacation and had few now current things available to me when I stamped them! I promise there will be new stuff when I get back!! :)



I started with a WW card base, added a panel of Raspberry Tart DSP and some Rose Red cardstock. I stamped my main image from the Sweet Stems stamp set in Black Stazon and colored it in with my SU Markers. I matted that on Rose Red, then Old Olive then WW. I added some Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set and punched it with the new Modern Label Punch. I have used this new punch a lot and LOVE it! :)

I'm so glad you stopped by to visit! I hope you leave me a comment now and then to let me know you've come by! I love visitors!

Take care!
Hugs,

Mojo Monday Sketch of the Week

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by today!
Today's card is my submission for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.
I started out with a Whisper White base and added my Raspberry Tart DSP matted with Kiwi Kiss panels after placing my black brads and tying my Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon. I stamped my images from the Sweet Stems stamp set in Black Stazon and colored them in with my SU Markers in Rose Red, Regal Rose and Old Olive. I matted my images in Kiwi Kiss, used my SU Markers to color in my sentiment from the Level 2 Hostess set called A Little Something and punched it out with my 1 3/4" Circle Punch. The scallop circle behind my sentiment is from the Sizzix Bigz Die called Scallop Circles #2 and I popped it up with Dimensionals.

Ingredients:
Stamps: Sweet Stems, A Little Something Paper: Raspberry Tart DSP, Kiwi Kiss, WW Ink: Black Stazon, SU Markers Accessories: Sizzix Bigz Scallop Circles #2 Die, Dimensionals, Mat Pack, Paper Piercer, Black Brads, Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon

If you are local you can see her at Petco in Thousand Oaks tomorrow and on Sunday at Petsmart in Simi Valley. Please help us find her the home she so deserves!!

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge

Hi there stampers! I got a chance to stamp today and decided to make a card for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. It is always fun to play along with her sketches and even more fun to see everyone else's entries.
I used the stamp set and paper I had used for this card we made at workshop I had last week so this card came together pretty quickly-even with having to color each flower! The Sweet Stems stamp set and Raspberry Tart DSP have become some of my favorite things in this new catalog.
Ingredients:
Stamps: Sweet Stems, Love You Much, Polka Dot Background Paper: Rasberry Tart DSP, Rose Red, Regal Rose, WW Ink: Rose Red, Basic Black Accessories: 3/4" Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, SU Markers, Dimensionals, Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet Stems

I inked up some new rubber today! This set from the new catalog coming Jan. 18th is called Sweet Stems. I inked up the stems in black and then colored them in with my SU markers in Regal Rose, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and then outlined them with Sahara Sand. I punched them out with my 1 1/4" circle punch and layered it on 1 3/8" Pretty in Pink circles. That is popped up with dimensionals on a piece of Old Olive cardstock that I stamped one of the stems randomly in Old Olive. Behind that is a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock that I paper pierced using my Mat Pack. That's layered onto a piece of Regal Rose cardstock also randomly stamped with one of the stems in Regal Rose. It's all stuck onto a white card base and finished off with a piece of Pretty in Pink and Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.

It is based off of THIS card I found at Splitcoast by Lisa Henke.
It also uses the colors in Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge. These challenges are fun and often times makes you pull out those colors that you just don't use often. I didn't make the deadline for this one but loved this color combo and will definitely use it again especially for Valentine's Day!

• Stamps:Sweet Stems (#113726 available 1/19!!)
