Happy New Home - FMS153

Since my burlap ribbon was already out from this card yesterday, I ended up using it again for this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I had posted awhile back about how I lost the happy new home stamp in the middle of making a card, but luckily I found it last week stuck to the back of another stamp case. So, I was finally able to make another house warming card. Yay!

Rustic Birthday Flourish - TSSC331

When I first saw this sketch from Techno Stamper this week, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I decided to pull out my dictionary background stamp that I haven't used yet, and the burlap ribbon. Every time I use burlap my card takes on a rustic feel, and today's card is no exception. I really love how it turned out with the sponging and muted colors.

Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar, Memento Tuxedo Black

Falling Leaves - PPA219

Well, the colors for this week's challenge at Pals Paper Arts definitely screamed fall to me. I'm really not a fall/thanksgiving/Halloween card maker, so I really don't have many stamps for that genre. I do have this retired maple leaf stamp, so I decided to pull it out and make a super simple thanksgiving card. These colors are not something I use often either, in fact my Always Artichoke ink was still in the wrapper, and I can't remember the last time I used Cajun Craze! They are nice and rich looking however, so I'll have to remember to try to use them more often.

 

 

 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

 

Stamps: Magnificant Maple (retired), Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Crushed Curry, Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze

Paper: Always Artichoke, Naturals White card stock

Misc: Nothing!

Blended Birthday Blooms - NAC106

I've been having lots of fun with my Blendabilities markers this week. Something about the coloring and shading is relaxing to me. I figured since 2 of the 3 colors for this week's color challenge at Nacho Average Challenges were Blendabilities that I have, that I'd use them for my card. Here's what I ended up with...

 

 

 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

 

Stamps: Bloom With Hope, Itty Bitty Banners

 

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Blendabilities

 

Paper: Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White card stock; 2013-2015 In Color DSP

Framed Perfect Peacock

I loved the Perfect Peacock card that I made earlier this week so much that I decided to try making another and framing it. It was hard to get a pic without the reflection if the glass or frame, and this is the best I ended up with. In any case, I love it anyway!

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

 

Stamps: Perfect Peacock

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Whisper White card stock

Misc: Assorted Blendabilities markers, silver 5x7 frame (non SU)

A Somewhat Masculine Birthday Card - CCMC319

I tried to use this week's sketch at Create with Connie and Mary to make a masculine birthday card. Somehow the butterfly and pearls makes it a bit less manly, but in a pinch it could probably work :) Otherwise, it'd be great for a non-girly girl :)

 

 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

 

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Papillon Potpourri, Itty Bitty Banners

 

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Baked Brown Sugar

 

Paper: Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White card stock

 

Misc: Ovals Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, Butterfly punch, Sponge Dauber, Pealrs, Linen Thread, Glue Dots, Woodgrain Embossing folder
