You're Amazing!-FM204

April 12, 2015

 I do love a shaker card, so I am going to enter the Friday Mashup this week!
M

This week's Mash Up! Challenge: 
  • Create a "Shaker card".
  • Create a " Congrats themed" project.
  • or Mash it Up! and create a "Congrats themed project with a Shaker element".

My friend asked me to create a special card for her daughter.  Her favorite color is bright pink and she loves the beach!  I was excited to pull out my "By the Tide" stamp set to create the background for my shaker.  



I stamped the coral, shell and seahorse with Versa Mark Ink on watercolor paper and then heat embossed the stamped area with white embossing powder.  I used my Aqua Painter and created the water scene with Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pink Pirouette and Pumpkin Pie ink.  I love the way it turned out.  I cut a square frame using Melon Mambo card stock and added lots of sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  The card base is Melon Mambo and I added a white layer on top of the base.  


"You're Amazing was cut using a Simon Says Stamp die.  I am not sure it is the Congratulations sentiment, but it is similar!  

Thank you for stopping by my blog.  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts!  I love to hear from you!

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Stampin'

Monogram Note--PP240

April 12, 2015

 It's Sunday and time for another challenge at The Paper Players!  This week our lovely, Joanne has a color challenge for us!  We can't wait to see what you create!  

Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding are 3 of the 5 colors that will be retired by Stampin' Up! by June 2nd.  If you are interested in any of the 2013-2015 Colors, please hurry over to my store site to order them before they are sold out.  I personally adore all 5 of the colors and will miss them when they are gone!  

I absolutely LOVE monograms!  I am so excited about the new stamp set, "Sophisticated  Serifs" in the Occasions catalog.  I think it is fabulous to make note cards for gifts or just to personalize your own notes.  I also used "Daydream Medallions" to make my background paper.  I stamped the different sizes of medallions with all three colors.  I used my Granddaughter Addison's monogram for this card.  The base card is white and I used a Strawberry Slush panel under the stamped piece.  Stampin' Dimensionals raise the monogram for dimension.  There are so many possibilities with this color combo.  A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh complete my card.  I lined an envelope with the Pistachio Pudding Background Designer Series Paper from the 2013-2015 Collection.
