My card is created for my precious Robert's 3rd birthday.  I always call him my little pirate.  I used a white card base and found a piece of red and white striped paper in my stash for the background.  Black card stock stripes were cut to place on top of the stripes.  I added a white circle cut with SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched Circle dies and embossed it with a striped embossing folder.  Then I cut an open banner for a frame using SU banner dies.  My little pirate and parrot are from My Favorite Things Party Like A Pirate stamp set and cut out with the matching dies.  I colored them with Copic markers and added Wink of Stella for shine.  The sentiment is from the same set and heat embossed in white powder.  A few enamel dots were added for fun.  



Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  Don't forget to check out all the amazing projects from the Design Team.

Deepest Sympathy--PP333 and SSC147

February 26, 2017
It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps!!

 It is very rare that I can incorporate both challenges in one post, but this week it was a WIN, WIN!  

Our lovely LeAnne is the hostess this week at  The Paper Players!   Her sketch is so fun and there are so many ways to interrupt it.  The colors at Sunday Stamps are so pretty.  Please use a minimum of 3 of the colors for your card.  We can't wait to see what you create! 

  

 My card is created on a white card base.  A Tangerine Tango background was cut using the MFT Blueprints 20 die.  The top white layer is cut using the same die set.  The flowers are stamped on Tangerine Tango and Bermuda Bay card stock using the Freestyle Florals  by Mama Elephant.  The leaves were stamped on Old Olive card stock.  The matching dies were used to cut out the flowers and leaves.  Wink of Stella and black enamel dots were added in the center of each flower.  The sentiment is stamped in black Memento ink.  After I took my photos, I realized my sentiment was in the wrong place.  :(((
I asked LeAnne to forgive me!  I am leaving to go to Indiana to visit my family and didn't have time to make another card.  

Don't forget to check out the fabulous inspirations from both  design teams and I hope that you will play along with our challenges this week.

My card was created for my one year old grandson!  He is so stinkin' cute that I just had to use this adorable skunk from Your Next Stamp-Woodland Cuties.  I stamped it on Neenah Solar White card stock and colored it with my Copic Markers.  I cut it out using the matching YNS-Dies.  My base card is white.  I used Melon Mambo card stock behind the piece of black and white stripes.  The black banners are used to make the Valentine DSP pop.  I changed the sketch a little by using this fun sentiment at the bottom of my card.  Pink enamel hearts were added for fun.

I really like this sketch, and I will use it again.  I wanted to make a Valentine for my Mommy.  I just received a few things from the new Occasions catalog from Stampin' Up!  My base card is white card stock.   I cut the top two borders using a Pretty Pink Posh die using Rose Red and Whisper White card stock.  I added the new Love Blossoms DSP below the borders.  Bloomin' Hearts thinlet dies were used to cut the heart in Blushing Bride paper and the flowers in white.  I sponged the flowers with Rose Red ink.  A pearl was added to the centers of each flower. The sentiment is from the same set and stamped in Rose Red ink and I fussy cut the banner and added a little pearl.  I love the way this turned out.  I know it is perfect for my Mom.

My base card is Crumb Cake.  I embossed the sentiment using Versa Mark ink and white embossing powder.  I trimmed the brick embossed layer on both sides of the sentiment and added diminsionals behind it.  The sentiment and flower are both from The Ton--Large Peony 2 stamp set.  I stamped the peony on watercolor paper with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I colored the flower and leaves with  Zig Clean Color Markers and added some water with a brush to lighten some areas.  Wink of Stella was added on the flower for sparkle & shine and a few clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for fun.
