Last Chance for Humor in High Heels

This is a card I made for a belated birthday wish stamped with Humor in High Heels. This is one of my favorite stamp sets for belated birthdays and it is on the Last Chance List. Also on the Last Chance List is the Trio Flower Punch which the flowers were created with. You have until June 30th to order items for The Last Chance List.

I wanted to keep the card simple, like a perfect simple summer dress.

Paper - Sweet Pea DSP, daffodil delight, basic gray, whisper white card stock
Stamps - Humor in High Heels

Accessories - Little Leaves die, trio flower punch, hole punch, dimensionals, pretties

Mojo Monday 142 - Sneak Peek New Greenhouse Gala DSP

I received my pre-order this weekend which included the new 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog and all I can say is WOW, WOW ,WOW! (with a few squeals of delight). The much anticipated Color Renovation is so fresh and fabulous. The new stamps, new colors, new accessories are all fantastic, but my favorite is all the new Designer Series Papers. The images...the colors.. OOOOOhhhh Aaaahhhh.

This week's Mojo Monday Sketch gave me the perfect opportunity to use this yummy new Designer Series Paper Greenhouse Gala. I can't say enough about how beautiful this paper is and all the colors are just delicious. I did use the more muted papers from this collection. Most of the items are very bright and just stunning. The flower is cut out from the paper.  I have had the papers out on my work surface just so I could glance at them every time I went by my craft closet. I would wallpaper my room with one of the papers if I could. I will definitely be incorporating this paper into my craft space since coordinates with my paint color perfectly. Mmmm, Mmm good.

Curtain Call Color 32 - Get Sketchy Challenges

Here is a card I made combining the Curtain Call Color Challenge and this week's Get Sketchy Challenge. I made the scrunched flowers using the Birds and Blooms sizzix die. The larger flowers are held together with brads while the smaller ones are held together with a thread that had been knotted. This card reminds me of a gift wrapped package.

Stamps - Herbal Expressions

Ink - basic black

Paper - regal rose, summer sun, apricot appeal, rose red, whisper white card stock

Accessories - perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Birds and  Blooms die, dimensionals, brads, glue dots, thread.

PPA45 - Inspiration Challenge

This weeks PPA challenge is an inspiration challenge from the picture above. I love these colors and the clean look of the floral pillow so I kept my design simple.

Paper - certainly celery, whisper white, pumpkin pie, kraft ( soon to be crumb cake), so saffron, black
Ink - basic black
Stamps - Hugs and Wishes
Accessories - tri flower punch ( Last Chance Item), little leaves sizzix die, hole punch, glue dots, dimensionals

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - OOOPS I need a card for an apology.

The Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge afforded me a great design for this card. I was a real bone head and need to make an apology. Since it is going to a gentlemen, I used somewhat masculine colors and the always versatile Trendy Trees. I think this design would work well for a sympathy card as well.

Paper - Sweet Pea DSP, chocolate chip, kraft, bashful blue, so saffron, whisper white card stock
Stamps - Trendy Trees, In a Word
Ink - So Saffron, Chocolate Chip
Accessories - square lattice embossing folder, chocolate chip double stitched ribbon, button, linen thread, dimensionals, circle dies, corner rounder punch
