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

Paper Pumpkin Friday - October 2015 Alt Cards - Blissful Bouquet - Thanks!

Finally, I am getting around to sharing cards I made from past Paper Pumpkin kits.  A kit I truly enjoyed was the October 2015 Blissful Bouquet kit.  Here are two alternate cards I made from the kit. I made several but failed to get any pictures of them before I gave them away.  It was easy to create additional cards with this kit.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #185 - Home Sweet Home Challenge - Timeless Textures

Welcome to this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we are having a "Home Sweet Home" challenge using the picture below as inspiration. Don't forget to scroll down to visit the other Stars creations for this week.   

 

 

 

The butterflies caught my eye in this challenge.  Although, I am not particularly fond of butterfly cards I have found myself using them a lot lately in my card making.  Maybe I like to give butterfly cards, not receive them, hmm... I originally made this card earlier this week for a Pink and Brown themed swap on Swap-Bot. This is the third card I have made with this layout/design and it worked perfectly for this challenge.  The Timeless Textures stamp makes a wonderful random background in Soft Suede.  I chose to use Soft Suede because the Chocolate Chip ink looked almost black to me on the Pink Pirouette.  The ribbon is Early Espresso seam binding (retired) and the butterflies are from the long ago retired Butterfly Wings Embosslits. 

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette
Stamp/s: Timeless Textures, All About Everything (April Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Soft Suede
Accessories: Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush, Tombow Mono Glue, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Product List

Chocolate Chip 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [102128] $8.00	Pink Pirouette 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [111351] $8.00	Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Pad [126978] $6.50	Timeless Textures Clear-Mount Stamp Set [140517] $20.00

First,  I must say this is a totally CASEd card from Rosanne Mulhern, a super talented card maker, that I found on  Pinterest.   It was love a first sight and I knew I had to give it a try with this color combo.  I really do not like to work with Basic Black, unless it is ink but I decided to make the black standout instead of being an accent color in this card.  The sentiment is embossed and I softened the edges of the top layer with a Timeless Textures stamp and Whisper White ink. I am extremely happy with the results.   Tomorrow I will be showcasing this card in my card class, can't wait to see the color combos the girls come up with.   Who doesn't love Pinterest. 

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamp/s: Layering Love, Petite Petals, Timeless Textures
Ink: Versa Mark, Whisper White
