More Free Cards if you purchase Painted Poppies

1 Comment

Hey Guys!

Here I am again! Are you ready to see a card I made using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Painted Poppies? First, let me tell you that I have been challenged by SU! to sell a certain number of Painted Poppies. Second, I am really not thinking this is much of a Challenge since this set is STINKIN’ CUTE!

But, since this IS a challenge I thought I would add some incentives to purchase from me! So, I am offering 3 cards if you just buy the set AND 5 cards if you purchase the bundle. The class is FREE! You’ve already seen ONE of the cards, and I am here today to share with you a second card. Stay tuned throughout this week and next to see the others!

Here is my favorite that we are doing:

Isn’t this stunning?! It is a very simple card, but boy, does it pack a punch! I used one of the dies from the set, to make the swirly circle-ish image for the sentiment to sit on. Are you like me? Do you LOVE seeing things like this! I hope so, because my card for tomorrow has even more fabulousness! Is that a word, or did I just make it up!? Since the DSP has Granny Apple Green in it, this was perfect for my Granny Apple Green Ribbon. I also added the same color green for my Rhinestones, plus some Highland Heather Rhinestones. It’s like SU! made this paper just for the sparkly add ons!

Knowing that you like to have the specifics for the cards I post, here it is!

Stamps:
Painted Poppies
Honey Bee
So Sentimental (for inside)

Inks:
Memento Black
Granny Apple Green & Highland Heather Markers

Paper:

Blackberry Bliss 5 1/4″ x 4″, 1/2″ x 3 3/4 (for inside)
Peaceful Poppies DSP 5″ x 3 3/4″, 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ (for inside)
Basic Black scrap for swirly cut out for sentiment (die), 3 3/4″ x 3/4″ (for under ribbon)
Whisper white 5″ x 3 /4″

Misc:
Granny Apple Green ribbon
Noble Peacock Rhinestones
Dimensionals

Here is a picture of the inside:

Since I love the sentiment so much, here is a close up of it!:

To do this, I inked up the stamp with Granny Apple Green. Then I dotted the last word with a Blackberry Bliss Marker, huffed on it, since it dries a little when coloring and stamped it. Didn’t it turn out so cute! I was so tickled that I made ‘confetti’ on my stamp! I’m such a goober! 🙂

The strip at the bottom is a piece of the DSP mounted on a black strip. Perfect touch if you ask me!

Hope you have enjoyed today’s post! If you are interested in getting this class in the mail, or in person let me know! I live in the US and if you are looking for a Demonstrator I would love to help you find your creativity!

PCCC #183

1 Comment

I decided that I am going to start doing more with this blog!! Hopefully you will be as excited as I am!
To start with I decided to do a Challenge that the Paper Craft Crew is doing and that is the Color Challenge!!
Here is the challenge I worked on today:
PCCCS163-006-300x300

My card uses one of my favorites from the Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up!, it is called Picture Perfect.  My Dad used to feed the Hummingbirds in our front yard, it was very full of plants that framed our front walk very nicely.

He would stand there for quite a while and when the Hummingbirds would come to drink from the feeder, he would put his finger under the feeder for the birds to rest on.  It took a while for them to grow comfortable with him there, but he finally got them to land on his finger!!  I would watch from the window and wish I was the one out there!

Ever since then I have had a LOVE for Humminbirds!  So that leads me to this post, I wanted to use the stamp set Picture Perfect since it has them!

Here is my card:

Pccc183-Picture-perfect

The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss, the next layer is Smoky Slate with Marina Mist which I ran through the Big Shot using the embossing folder Zig Zag.  I then brayered the Tea Lace Paper Doilies using Old Olive ink, I then put versamark over that and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  I like how it’s shiny, don’t you?

I cut out a thinlit of Blackberry Bliss using the Deco Labels, colored a piece of Dazzling Diamond Glitter Paper using the Blackberry Bliss, then set it using clear embossing powder after running over it with my Versamark again.

Stamped the Hummingbird using Blackberry Bliss, Smoky Slate and Old Olive. put a Rhiinestone for his eye, and then for the coup de grace (sp?) I went over the entire image with the Wink of Stella!!  It is so pretty and shiny in person!  And the texture makes you want to fell it!

So, I am done with my first Challenge in a LONG time!  How do you think I did?  I’m excited for next time!  I wonder how I’ll do in the Sketch Challenge!

Make sure you check back in to see how I did, and I would love some feedback on what you like or don’t like!

Thanks for stopping by!
