Hello and welcome to this week's DOStamper Stars Thursday "Sketch Pad Challenge" #243 featuring Carols of Christmas stamp set and Be Merry Designer Series Paper.  The Carols of Christmas Bundle is available now for pre-order, in case you can't wait until 1 September when the new holiday catalog is released.  See below for details on how to order your Carols of Christmas Bundle. 

 

Card Measurements:

Garden Green Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Whisper White Layer 5 1/4 x 4

Be Merry DSP 1 7/16 x 3 3/4 

Silver Glimmer Paper 4 x 4
Whisper White 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
 

---

TIP: The Silver Glimmer paper is covered with fine silver glitter that can make it difficult to adhere to other papers.  To get it the glimmer paper to stick in a layered grouping I find using the multi-purpose glue works best.  I apply a generous amount of glue to the back of the smaller paper or top layer and attach to the glimmer paper. Then I put a small book on top and let it dry for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Card Sketch Monday: Coffee Cafe Bundle, FMS #299

It's a cloudy, muggy day in North Texas.  It has been raining all around us in Wichita Falls, we could use some rain but all we get is a few teasing dribbles.  So how about a card sketch using the Coffee Break Suite.  Today I am playing with Freshly Made Sketches # 299.   I love this suite, it is a keeper.

 

Card Measurements:

Early Espresso Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Soft Sky Layer  5 3/8 x 4 1/8

I love Pool Party and Early Espresso together.  The color combination is fabulous.  This makes me want to make a trip to the local coffee shop downtown, 8th Street Café.  If you are ever in Wichita Falls, TX I suggest you stop by for a cup coffee or a great lunch.

Sunday Card Share: This Little Piggy

One of the things I love the most about card making is card swapping.  It is a wonderful way to a look at different stamp sets and papers.  I recently participate in two swaps and a monthly RAK (random act of kindness) exchange.  Today I want to share three cards made with the cutest stamp set that brings chuckles to everyone "This Little Piggy".

 

 

Fresh Florals DSP

Powder Pink Finely Woven Ribbon

 

 

Paisley and Petals Stamp Set

Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon

Powder Pink Cardstock

Clear Wink of Stella

 

 



---

Swaps are a great way to make stamping friends, get samples and ideas for cards.  I love to swap and I have three big swaps coming up in early September,  I look forward to sharing those cards with you.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  Isn't the "This Little Piggy" stamp set adorable?  It is such a cheerful, loving and encouraging set.  It pairs well with the new 2017-2018 In-Color -  Powder Pink.

How about a Coffee Break Card

Finally broke out my Coffee Break Suite to do a little card making.  This set is so yummy I think it will be very popular. This would also make a great birthday card with a gift card from your favorite coffee shop included.  I might use this for graduation cards next year.  New college freshmen love to hang out in coffee shops.  I guess it make them feel cool or whatever the current term is for coolness.

Card Measurements:

Early Espresso Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Soft Sky Layer  5 3/8 x 4 1/8

Crumb Cake Layer 5 1/4 x 4

Coffee Break DSP Strips 6 x 1/2, 6 x 3/4, 6 x 1 1/2

Whisper White, Early Espresso and Soft Sky scraps

 



---

TIP: Used the shaving cream and Early Espresso re-inker on Crumb Cake cardstock to make the paper for the cups.  You can find several videos on Pinterest and You Tube explaining how to use shaving cream and re-inkers to create your own DSP.  I am calling mine Espresso Swirl.

Card Sketch Monday: Delightful Daisy DSP again!!

Each month I participate in at least two card sketch swaps on Swap-Bot.  If you like swapping just about anything, Swap-Bot is the place to go.   I have swapped cards, tea, chocolate, fabric, envelopes, stamps, and dioramas just to name a few things.   Here is a card I made for a swap earlier this month using Freshly Made Sketches archived sketch #59 for inspiration.   Of course, I had to use some Delightful Daisy DSP, my absolute favorite.

Card Measurements:

Night of Navy Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Daffodil Delight Layer  5 3/8 x 4 1/8

Night of Navy Layer 5 1/4 x 4

Delightful Daisy DSP 1 3/4 x 4

Delightful Daisy DSP  1 1/4 square (x4)

 

 



---

TIP:  I used the Delightful Daffodil layer for the scalloped squares accenting the DSP on the car front.  Great way to save on cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  I hope you enjoyed my version of the Freshly Made Sketches design #59.  I really like Night of Navy and Daffodil delight together,  they make a perfect pair.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #241: Delightful Daisy DSP

Hello and welcome to this week's DOStamper Stars Thursday "Home Sweet Home Challenge" #241 featuring Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  So exactly what is a "Home Sweet Home Challenge"?  The group host post a home décor picture from a magazine or one-line ad for us to use as a guide.  We can use any element, color, theme or an object, in the photo for inspiration. Can you tell which element inspired me?

Card Measurements:

Old Olive Card Base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Daffodil Delight Layer 3 x 4 3/4

Old Olive Layer 2 7/8 x 3 5/8

Delightful Daisy DSP 2 3/4 x 3 1/2

Whisper White scrap for sentiment 

 

---

TIP:  When using  DSP as the focal point, as I did here.  Be careful to choose the best image to highlight on your card. Think before you cut to minimize was.   It took me a few minutes to decide where to cut my DSP.  I think I got it right, looks like I could have stamped it myself.

---

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today.  I just love this card, so simple to create in a time crunch.  The Old Olive and Daffodil Delight are the perfect pair for the Delightful Daisy DSP.  So glad I purchased extras packages of this fantastic paper.  FYI: Stampin Up Bonus Days are back, but only for a few more days. Your opportunity to earn Bonus Day Coupon ends at 11:50 (MT) July 31st.   Earn in July, Spend in August.
