Paper Pumpkin Friday - Happy Father's Day!!

We usually do not get to preview the Paper Pumpkin kits before they arrive but we did the get a sneak peek at the May  Many Manly Occasions kit from the Stampin' Up!! On-Stage convention photos.  Let's say that I was very eager for this kit to arrive so I could play.  The stamp set does not disappoint it is perfect font size and great sentiments. Personally, I think the stamps are the best part of each monthly kit. Today I am sharing two alternative cards I made for Father's Day. 


Card Details
  • Start with Extra Thick Whisper White Thick card base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
  • Attached Schoolhouse DSP cut 5 x 3 3/4
  • Orange corrugated cardstock cut 5 x 1 1/2 from May kit 
  • Backed-up the "Happy" negative with Night of Navy cardstock
  • Stamped Many Manly Occasions sentiment with Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock 
  • Trimmed sentiment to 3/8 by 3 and punched end with Banner Punch (retiring) 
  • Added a few adhesive stars from the May kit

Card Sketch Monday - FMS 237

Today is another Card Sketch Monday and I am playing at Freshly Made Sketches, FSM 237. 

 
 
FMS 237
This was a super easy card to put together and I took the opportunity to use a new stamp set, Layering Love (available 1 June),  from 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! catalog.  I used a left over sheet of corrugated cardstock from the May 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit to give the card some texture and dimension.  Thanks FMS for hosting another wonderful sketch.

DOstamper Stars Thursday Challenge #181 - Sketch Challenge, AffectionatelyYours

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Color Challenge" challenge. Don't forget to scroll down and visit the other Stars creations.







I really like the sketch this week it, is so clean and so simple.  I choose to use some Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape from the new catalog (available to order on 1 June) on Whisper White cardstock to get my card started then layered it on a Night of Navy card base.  Created a few colorful flowers with the Blossom Bunch punch using scraps of Night of Navy, Watermelon Wonder and Mint Macaron.  These color pair nicely with the new Affectionately Yours DSP and Washi Tape.  Finally, I added a few sequins left over from the February 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit, Whiter Perfect Accents and a sentiment from the Water Color Wishes Card Kit.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Night of Navy base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4
                    Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wishes and Night of Navy (scraps for flowers)
Stamp/s: Water Color Wishes
Ink: Night of Navy
Punch: Blossom Bunch
Accessories: Tombow Mono Glue, Washi Tape, Sequins from February 2016 Paper Pumpkin

DOstamper Stars Thursday Challenge #180 - Color Challenge

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Color Challenge" challenge. Don't forget to scroll down and visit the other Stars creations.


 
 
 

This color combination was a challenge for me.  I was baffled at what to do with the Marina Mist.  The early Espresso and Delightful Dijon go well together but the Marina Mist had me worried. 
Finally, I came up with a simple card using a water color technique.  I just inked up my stamping block with Delightful Dijon and Marina Mist, squirted a little water on it and pressed it onto a piece of water color paper.  Voila!!!   I had a background.  Add a single flower and sentiment from the October 2015 Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set all done.   

Card Recipe:
Card Stock:  Marina Mist base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Stamp/s: Blissful Bouquet (October 2015 Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Marina Mist, Delightful Dijon, Early Espresso
Accessories: Tombow Mono Glue, Stampin Dimensional
