CAS(E)This Sketch 271 take two…

Saturday I shared a card with you that was designed from this weeks CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge. I promised you a second look at my card design with a stepped up version.  Todays is the day!!! I love how this sketch lends itself to a card that has a very clean look. Yet, at the same time you can use it as a base for a more textured layered card!

Check out Saturday’s card here

Petal Palette and Share What You Love meet for CAS(E) This Sketch

I think my absolute favorite bundle from the Occasions Catalog is the Petal Palette Bundle!  I adore the stamp set! And the coordinating dies are amazing!!

This bundle is going away at the end of May which saves you 10%.  But,  both the stamp set and dies will be available in the Annual Catalog, just not as a Bundle.  So, If you want this awesome set get it now!

The Share What You Love got to have it all Bundle (only available in May) has the most beautiful paper in it!  It is the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I love how well the paper works with the Petal Palette Bundle!

Share What You Love

Share What You Love Designer Series Paper

Is it not gorgeous!!!  I can not tell you how beautiful this paper is in real life!!! I also really like the fact that you get 4 each of 6 double-sided designs. That’s 24 sheets of Specialty Paper!  This makes it the perfect choice for any large projects!!

Best Wishes for CAS(E) This Sketch #271

  • The basic card design is still the same.
  • Adding texture to the card brings a little added interest to the focal point of the sentiment and bird
  • The final touch was adding the pearls

Best Wishes

  • The bird is stamped with Tranquil Tide on Petal Pink (A new Subtles Color).
  • The doilie is colored with a Mint Macaroon (my current favorite color) Stampin’ Wright Marker
  • The vellum leaf is from the May Flowers Framelits Dies.

Of course if I am stepping the card up, then I must have a pretty envelope!  For the envelope I used the Love What You Do Stamp Set!  It is included in the Share What You Love Bundle.

Love What You Do

Love What You Do Stamp Set

I used the small flowers, the little leaf, and the small dot to mimic the flowers from the Share What You Love paper.

Best Wishes Card and Envelope

  •  The flowers were stamped in Basic Black.  Then with a blender pen color was haphazardly added to the flowers using Old Olive.  I will be honest with you, I’m not real good with a blender pen. But, it worked perfectly for this!!!
  • Then in Tranquil Tide the leaves were added.
  • The dots are stamped in Mint Macaroon
  • And as a last-minute thought I added more leaves in Tranquil Tide.  Only this time stamping off twice before stamping on the envelope. This did two things.  It filled in some blank spaces.  And it gave some depth to the Stamping

I know this post was kinda long!  Thanks for sticking all the way through it with me!

CAS(E) This Sketch 271

CAS(E) This Sketch

CAS(E) This Sketch has a great card design for this week.  I love the simplicity of the sketch! It has a wonderful graphic fell that lends itself quite beautifully to a clean and beautiful style of card making!

 

CAS(E) This Sketch

Share What You Love

The Share What You Love Designer Series Paper (146388)  is beautiful.  I love the perlized look of the paper. Also, it is Specialty paper so it is thicker!  Witch makes it perfect for all your paper crafting needs!

Share What You Love

Share What You Love Designer Series Paper

This paper will be available in the upcoming Annual Catalog!  But, you can get your hands on it now in the Got To Have It All Bundle which is part of a special early release of the Share What You Love Suite!

When I first saw the sketch and was thinking about what to do, I knew the Share What You Love  paper was perfect!  This paper is so beautiful that I really did not want to cover it up much.   Also, Brian King’s card (from the design team) was a great source of inspiration for me.   You can see Brian’s card and the rest of the design team’s cards at CAS(E) This Sketch.  I loved how he used a tree for his vertical line in the sketch!  I wanted to do something similar.  So, I thought about flowers and leaves.  This is what made me reach for the Petals and More Thinlit Dies (145655)!

Petals And More Thinlit Dies

That’s when I decided to use the thin delicate die in this set.. These dies coordinate with the Petal Palette Stamp Set (145785) .  Even better they are avavailable a bundle (145973)  through May! This saves you 10%!!!  I promise you will be reaching for them all the time!!! And they coordinate with so much more than just each other!

CAS(E) This Sketch 271

  •  The details die cut is from Petals and More Thinlits Died.  They were easily stacked using the Adhesives Sheets on the back of the Mint Macaroon.  This made it quick to stack on top of the Tranquil Tide
  • The Label is from the same sets of dies
  • The card base is the new Petal Pink!  It is the most wonderful peachy pink.

Next week, I will be sharing a stepped up version of this card!  So, be on the lookout for that!

A fun summer color combination for Global Design Project

I have not participated in an online challenge in a very long time! So, when I saw this weeks Global Design Project color challenge I knew it was time to participate!  The colors for the challenge are Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, and Mellon Mambo.  This fun summer color combination will make you wish for bright flowers, limeade, and a pool!!

A fun summer color combination

Does this fun color combination not scream Summer!! I know you are nodding yes!!! Yes it does!!   Be sure to check out the fabulous creations by the Design Team!!!  They sure are full of talent!!!

I was super excited to see a new frame stamp set in the upcoming Annual Catalog! Swirly Frames Stamp Set (146519) has circles, rectangles, and a square.  I love the whimsical feel!

Swirly Frames was paired it with the Varied Vases (146644) and the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper! (45589)

Tuesday I shared a super sweet card that featured the Varied Vases Stamp Set! If you happen to miss it! Here you go!

Love this fun summer color combination for #GDP137. Melon Mambo, Pool Party, and Lemon Lime Twist

  • I have really enjoyed the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.  One of my favorite things is to color the paper with Stampin’ Blends.
  • I used my pool party light and dark.  Then because I did not have Lemon Lime Twist in a Stampin’ Blend, I used Chartreuse and Lime Peal in Prismacolor.

Love this fun summer color combination for #GDP137. Melon Mambo, Pool Party, and Lemon Lime Twist

  • The circle frame was Stamped in Melon Mambo.  Then die cut with one of the Layering Circles. And backed with a Pool Party Scalloped Circle from the same Layering Dies
  • The flower was stamped in Basic Black.  The stamped with the fill in stamp in Melon Mambo after stamping off once
  • The final step was to add the sweet sentiment!  I just think this font is the most adorable ever…

I love decorating envelopes!  For this one I added the sweet flower in stair step fashion on one side!

Varied Vases and Swirly Frame come together for #GDP137

Waterfront

One of my must have stamp sets from the Occasions Catalog was the Waterfront set! From the moment I saw it, I know I had to have it!  Then it sat around on my desk for about two months staring at me….by then I had seen all the amazing cards that were being made with this set. And it became a little intimidating.  So, It sat stared at me another month!  Then finally, I decided to get over my fear and just use the set and see what happens.  After stamping each image, I came up with a plan.  And quickly designed a card around my little scene.  And that’s where it set for at least two more weeks patiently waiting and yes still staring at me.  Needless to say, Todays Waterfront card was a long time in the making and I very happy to be sharing it with you today!!!

Waterfront

The cool thing about the Waterfront Stamp Set is that all the elements just work so naturally together! Really, all you have to do is pick a few colors and start building a scene.  Awesome! I can do that!!

Waterfront Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!

Waterfront Stamp Set

You can make beach front views, mountain views, or lake front views all from one stamp set!!!  Let’s take a moment to really appreciate how wonderful the sentiments are!  Friends makes the good times better, love never gives up, and every little kindness makes the world better

Card made using the Waterfront Stamp Set

  • The colors used are Dapper Denim, Always Artichoke, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, and Smoky Slate
  • The Night of Navy card stock is embossed with one of the Petal Pair Embossing Folders.
  • The next layer is a leftover strip of Daffodil Delight watercolor
  • Then on top of that is the Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon
  •  The sentiment was added and the little yellow enamel shapes

The Waterfront Stamp Set will be returning in the Up Coming Annual Catalog!! It really is an awesome stamp set!

Miss You, Always….

Some friendships never die.  You may live miles apart or only talk every once in a while. But boy, when you do it is like a day never went by!   My bestie from 1st grade, I have been missing something awful. So, of course I had to make her a card . I moved  after second grade. We kept in touch by writing each other all the time. We were amazing pen pals.  We would visit each other most summers.  Miss You, Dawn! Hugs and love ?

One of the stamps, I was most excited about in the Up Coming catalog was the new Host set Hand Delivered

Hand Delivered

Hand Delivered Stamp Set

This set is so fun! I love the style of the skirt and how she is drawn.  I adore the font ! Most of all, I love that you can put different things in her hands .Balloons, a cake, books, and even a personalized sign!! So perfect!!

Miss You

  • The girl was stamped with memento black. Then colored in with the Stampin’ Blends
  • The Miss You was stamped inside the sign .Don’t you just love that font .
  • The Designer Series Paper is from the Tutti Frutti Paper Stack.  This stack has some awesome patterns in it!

The next thing was to decorate the envelope!   I used the same Designer Series Paper on the flap! Then stamped Miss You on the outside along with the little flowers that are in the Hand Delivered Stamp Set

Miss You

This one time I decided not to color in the flowers . I kinda felt like they were perfect just black and white . But, you most definitely could color them ?
