DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #192 - Color My World

It's time for the weekly DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  Today it is a  "Color My World" challenge.

 

 

 



This card has flowers and a bit of bling, all a girl needs on her birthday.  I love the Irresistibly Floral Speciality DSP, you can leave it white or add color with one of our wonderful Stampin Pads.  This was so easy I cut the DSP and sponged on Sweet Sugarplum -- one of the new in-colors.  The embossed flowers and swirls are stunning.  I added a bit of Wink of Stella on the jewels from the  July 2016 What A Gem Paper Pumpkin kit.  I participate in many swaps each month and this card is made for an upcoming sketch swap on Swap-Bot.  Tomorrow this gem is going to Florida.

Stamp/s: What a Gem ( July 2016 Paper Pumpkin)

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #191 - Sketch Pad Challenge - Flower Shop

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Sketch Pad Challenge" inspired by the sketch below.

   

 

 

I kept this card very simple to follow the sketch that I adore.  Finally used some of the vellum I got during Sal-A-Bration, I love the images on the vellum.  Maybe  it comes back in other patterns, perhaps for the holidays.   I hope this heat is getting better for most of you, we are at about normal here in North Texas averaging in the mid 90's.  My grass is starting to turn brown, boo hoo, hope we get rain soon.

Card Sketch Monday - Paper and Ink Sketches #1

Hello - 
Last week I participated in the inaugural Paper and Ink Sketches challenge hosted by Angie Juda on Facebook.  I have admired Angie's creativity for years and I was so happy to be part of her first sketch challenge.  This challenge was clean and simple, just the way I like them. 

 

I stayed true to the sketch as did many others that posted their creations on Facebook.   It is a great way to use up bits of DSP and ribbon that are hanging around.  Instead of ribbon you could add a coordinating paper border and create a bow with the Bow Builder Punch.  You could even add a matching envelope made with the Envelope Punch Board.  I used the Perfect Pairings stamp set for my sentiments, but any sentiment would work on this card. 

I had so much fun making one card that I ended up making six.  I am working on a little box for them as I plan to gift this set to a dear friend and school teacher.  You can check out the other Paper and Ink Sketches cards here on FB.

Paper Pumpkin Friday - July 2015 Alt Card - Thanks A Latte

Oh my, I am so happy to make this post.  I have waited a year to get my hands on the July 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit, Thanks A Latte. I skipped ordering last July and boy, did I regret it.  I just adore this little stamp set and I do love a latte on occasion, so I was truly happy when I won it on EBay.  Now I need to find a refill. LOL!!

All the cards are modifications of the original project.  On a few I added an orange corrugated  layer from the May 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit, Many Manly Occasions.  I really like that corrugated cardstock it adds great texture to any project.    I also layered one with just Basic Grey, another with Basic Grey and Tangerine Tango, and one other with Wild Wasabi cardstock and ribbon.  The box I made with 12 x 12 Basic Black cardstock using the envelop punch board.  It only took me one time to get the box  together following instructions I found on YouTube -- usually it takes.   I really enjoyed this kit.  Can't wait to see what is in my July 2016 kit.  I love surprises. Click here to learn how you can get your Paper Pumpkin Kit. Won't you join me?

 

 

 I gifted this set to my neighbor as a "Thank-you" for some lovely aprons she made me and my daughter.  She is a talented seamstress and I adore my new aprons.  My daughter took her apron on vacation with us to South Dakota.

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

1-Month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription [137858] $20.00

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. Won't you join me?
