Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight with Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

-
I created this card for the Inspire. Create.  Stamping Challenge, as pictured above.  This challenge can be found here:  http://inspirecreatechallenges.blogspot.com/

I was glad to use this yellow  DSP.  In the past I have tended to hoard my prettiest papers so now I have piles and piles!  I have decided to stop doing that and use the beautiful paper instead. LOL.
So I layered that on Bermuda Bay.  And I did use all Stampin' Up! products for this card, Yay!  I did ink the edges with Daffodil Delight and maybe a darker ink would have looked better but I could not decide which color.  I use Sahara Sand a lot for edges, but sometimes it just makes the paper look dirty, so I stopped with the Daffodil Delight.  The thick twine is Melon Mambo (recently in the clearance rack) and I used Whisper White twine to tie the button.  The button is a gold metal button from Stampin' Up! and is no longer available.  I die cut the DSP using the die from Petal Palette and then I inlaid the paper with another cut out of the die in Melon Mambo.  I also added a layer of white and offset just a tad then I added Daffodil Delight enamel shapes to the centers.  Finally, for the sentiment, I used this wonderful stamp from Picture Perfect Birthday.  The sentiments in this stamp set are gorgeous.  I bought this stamp set for the bow (and I still haven't stamped that out yet!)  Next, I used Stampin' Up! layering ovals to cut both ovals, which are the same size.  Now I do admit the polka dot paper is not Stampin' Up!, but it was laying there on my desk and I liked it better than the plain Bermuda Bay cardstock, so I added it instead.

Viva La Verve April 2018 Sketch

This is such a beautiful sketch!  I chose to keep the square the same as the base layer but I added an eyelet to the upper right corner.  I used the super cute and fun Stampin' Up! Bubble Over DSP, lemon lime twist cardstock and white cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment from Stapmin' Up! Picture Perfect and I'm down to the bottom of my jar and so that is why its bumpy as opposed to smooth so time to throw that out.  I can't find my other set of circle dies so until I do, I will have to use these wonky stitched circles.  I cut and layered various sizes because I usually layer my cards heavily!  For finishing touches, I added enamel dots and a lime green button plus a striped star and adhered looped, white bakers twine beneath the largest circle.  Thanks for taking a peek! I am also including this in the.   Inspire. Create Challenge #015 .  I created this for a male so I think it meets the criteria.

MOJO Monday Sketch 506

For this card I followed the Mojo Monday Sketch 506 .  I used Stampin' Up's Bottles & Bubbles dies and Stampin' Up's Bubble Over DSP which was a Sale-A-Bration item in 2018 and super cute!  I am a paper hoarder and sometimes find it difficult to cut the papers, but I'm coming around.  I took advantage of Stampin Up's current Demonstrator offer which gets you $175 worth of product for only $99.  Shipping is Free!  I loaded up on papers!   So all the papers, the bottle, and the caps, came from the same paper set.  I used Fresh Fig linen ribbon under the bottle and I added some dew drops to accent.  Don't you think it is so hard to place these little dew drops?  I think I did OK with this card, but often I find it don't look quite right.   Other people don't seem to have that problem.  Anyway, I added two 1/8" eyelets in black to balance off the card.  For the sentiment I used a Paper Pumpkin Stamp (I think Febru...

Hearts and More Hearts...

I hope I can get all my valentine's sent out!  Thanks for looking.  The heart is die cut using Berry Burst cardstock.  The patterned paper is from an Recollections old paper pad (Burgundy Rose I think), its pretty close to Powder Pink.  The stamp and heart dies came from Aliexpress. The button is Stampin' Up! and the gold twine was something I had (origin unknown).  I did ink the edges of the paper and the rough edge panel is from a rectangle die set that I got from Aliexpress. I went back in and added two more eyelets and I a little black layer under the sentiment and I think that looks better.  I really like this card!
