SP Color Challenge #142

This is for SP's Color Challenge #142 using the following colors and SP & Company stamps. I used 3 different stamp sets for this card...Ultimate Sentiments I, For Every Woman and Stitchery Doo Banners. Sami's stamps mix 'n match very well. I love them!



My SIL's birthday is coming up in June so I thought I'd get a head start. The butterflies are from Stampin' Up embosslits and their new butterfly punch. I probably went a little over board with the liquid pearls and stickles, but I do love to bling up a card! :)

Trends Challenge #9

Here is another card that I am entering in Scrapmaster's Paradise Trends Challenge #9.

Wow...this one was a LOT of work! My inspiration for the card came from the spring 2013 issue of CardMaker magazine. It is a cascading card. I made it for Mother's day... twice! I made one for my mom and another for my MIL. I just changed up the sentiments a little on each one.

Here's the other...

And here is a picture showing how it cascades...

I used quite a few different stamps sets on these cards.

SP & Company's Fashionista Alphabet to spell MOM
SP & Company's Mix 'n Match Sentiments: Friends, Kids, Basics and Occasions
SP & Company's For Every Women Stamp Set

I also used EK Success Punch, Tim Holtz Flourish Die, Stampin' Up Bird punch, Martha Steward Punch (behind the bird), Hero Arts Banner Punch & Stamp and Stampin' Up Butterfly punch and embosslits and Spellbinders label die.

I think I MORE than met the challenge! lol

3 Challenges: For The Fun Of It and Using Dies & Punches and Graduation!

I am entering this card at Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combo Challenge #141 using the following colors.



I am also entering it in her other challenge...Trends Challenge #9 using dies or punches and any of Sami's stamps and Pink By Design's Graduation Challenge.

I decided to make a graduation card. The brown and orange are the colors of my niece's school.

.

I used Big Build a Banner 2 dies for the banner and Big Build a Banner 2 stamp set for the numbers. The sentiment was from one of $1 stamps at Pat Catan's (I think it's a local store only).

Scrapmaster's Paradise Trends Challenge #8

Scrapmaster's Paradise Trends Challenge #8  is called Fun with Inks.


l wasn't sure exactly what that meant but here is my take on it. This is a very rare card for me... as it is all one layer except the button with twine.

I used SP & Company's Journal This stamp set for the grid background. For the sentiment I use SP & Company's Bold Sentiments I. The butterfly stamp is from Stampin' Up Papillon Potpourri. I used Tim Holtz markers to color the butterfly all the different colors.

I'm thinking of using this for a sympathy card. I actually like how it came out and hope you do also.

Here is a close up of the butterfly...

 

Thanks for looking!

Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Challenge #139

I just found out that I am going to be a Great Aunt. My niece is having her first baby and I wanted to send her a congrats card. The new Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combo Challenge #139 is great for a baby card. They aren't going to find out what sex the baby is so this is perfect 'cause it has the pink and blue in it.



Check out all the great new products that Sami has come up with this month. Just click on the above link. For this card I used the following products:

Stamping Bella: baby carriage bella for the pregnant girl. (I didn't use the carriage)

SP & Company: Happy Banner Stamp Set
                        Big Build a Banner 1 Die Tools

Spellbinder's Labels 18

 

 I used some stickles on the brown polka dots, her purse, shoes and headband. I probably wouldn't use them on the polka dots if I did it again. Hope you like it!!

 

Wow...3 Challenges!

This card is being entered in the following challenges:

SP Trends Challenge #7

Stampin' Up Butterfly Embosslits
