DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #189 - Home Sweet Home - Paper Pumpkin!!!

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Home Sweet Home" using the image of beautiful flowers below for inspiration.  I love flowers in the spring and summer.  We saw lots of wildflowers on our recent trip to South Dakota. 



 
 
Today I am sharing a wreath for my challenge project. The wreath was part of the April 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit.  Not being really fond of the wreath kit I set it aside until this morning when I started to cover it with burlap as I watched a TV show on my kindle.  Then I just let my creativity flow and kept it simple.  I used  my Petite Petals stamps and punch to add some much needed color.  Finally I can say this kit is complete and no longer taking up space in my cupboard.  I think this will make a nice gift for my friend that is feeling a little blue. 

Wreath Recipe:

Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Basic Black
Stamp/s: Petite Petals and Everything (April 2016 Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder
Punches: Petite Petals Punch
Accessories: Dimensionals, Glue Dots, White Perfect Accents

Product List

A Paper Pumpkin kit is a wonderful surprise each month.  Sometimes it just takes a bit of time before you get the full surprise out of the box like I did with my April kit.  I am so pleased with the results.  Paper Pumpkin is the perfect option if you only have a little time to spend on crafting.  You get everything you need on one little box for $20 including shipping.  Click here to learn how you can get your Paper Pumpkin Kit.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #188 - Color My World Challenge

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Color My World" challenge using the Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla as our inspiration. Perfect colors for a Christmas card. Don't forget to scroll down to visit the other Stars creations for this week.

 


 
Going through my supplies I discovered that I have no current Stampin Up! holiday stamps.  Good thing the annual Holiday catalog will be released soon.  Since I had to wing it, I thought I would try making a wreath using the Blossom Bunch Punch and I ended up with a swag.  I added a bit of dazzle to my swag with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush -- one of my favorite products!!

Card Stock: Very Vanilla base, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler layers
Stamp/s: Holly and Mistletoe ( Nov 2015 Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #186 - Product Spotlight - 2016-2018 In-Colors

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Product Spotlight" challenge using the 2016-2018 In-Color products. I love the new in-color, especially the Dapper Denim and  I managed to get every one of the new colors in my card. Woohoo!

 

Let's just say I really love the Artistically Asian stamp set, I love it so much I accidentally ordered three.  So glad Stampin' Up has a great exchange program.  For this card I used the masking tape technique with 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch masking tape to create a colored background with Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, and Sweet Sugarplum.  Stamped the bamboo image and characters in Basic Black Archival Ink.  Layered that with Emerald Envy and Whisper White onto a Dapper Demin card base.  Added a few Neutrals Dots (retired) to finish the card.  I love this card.  It reminds me of the simple, yet beautiful artwork I saw in Japan and China.  My hubby and I were fortunate to live in Japan for 8 years, where we met and got married, and to visit China 3 times to pick up our kiddos. 

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Dapper Denim Base, Whisper White, Emerald Envy
Stamp/s: Artistically Asian
Ink: Basic Black Archival Ink, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum
Accessories: Tombow Mono Glue, Dimensionals
