Paradise Inspiration Challenge

On Saturdays at Splitcoast, an Inspiration Challenge is posted.  This week was to pick an item from Ruche.  I found this beautiful tote bag and knew immediately what I wanted to do.

 
I've been wanting to CASE the card on page 113 of the IB&C for quite some time.  With this tote as my inspiration--I was finally able to do it!  I love it when cards come together so easily.

 

In the inspiration piece, I see the colors Not Quite Navy, Certainly Celery, Garden Green and Basic Gray, all on a Whisper White background.

Silhouette Sentiments Gets Sketchy!

Good Saturday Morning!  I got together with a few of my stampin' buddies last night and made a few cards (I think I laughed more than stamped--but that's OK--we had a lot of fun).  My card today follows the Get Sketchy sketch.

 
I took a few creative liberties and made my circle a diamond and  used ribbon for the area with the sentiment, but the basic sketch is still the same.  That's why I love to look at sketch challenges--they are a great starting point!

 

I figure if I keep making spring type cards, spring will eventually get here to the Midwest!

If you want to make this card, you'll need the following products:

Stamps:  Silhouette Sentiments (hostess set-free with $150 order/party)

Markers:  Concord Crush, Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz

Daisy CAS

My card today is for the CAS (Clean And Simple) challenge on Splitcoast.  This week's challenge was a sketch.  You can click here for the details and to play along!

 

I kept it very clean and very simple.  The only card stock I used is Whisper White.  I added color with a Sponge Dauber and Regal Rose ink. 

I'm pleased with the way the card turned out--not really my usual style.  I hope you get some inspiration from it as well.

Stamps:  NONE (What????)

Ink:  Regal Rose

Card Stock:  Whisper White

Awash with Flowers Challenge

It's amazing how many "challenge" blogs are out there for all of us stampers.  My card today uses the sketch from Get Sketchy and the colors from CR84FN.

 

I haven't used my Awash with Flowers set for a while and with Spring right around the corner, I thought it would be perfect.  I used a new technique too--Mother of Pearl.  I saw the idea in my Stampin' Success (a great magazine for demonstrators).  We will use this technique at April's Stamp Camp (more info in the next week).

 
 

The large Whisper White panel is embossed with the swirl pattern from Perfect Details Texturz Plate.  It's kind of faint, but it's there.  In real life, the Mother of Pearl really shimmers.

I stamped directly on the Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding--use Staz On to stamp on ribbon.

If you would like to make this card, you will need the following product:

Stamps:  Awash with Flowers, Occasional Quotes

Inks:  Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, Black Staz On

Card Stock:  Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum, Whisper White, Glossy White

Accessories:  Big Shot, Perfect Details Texturz Plate, Frost White Shimmer Paint, Sponge Dauber, Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding, Circle Ice Rhinestones

Paper Daisies Clean And Simple

My card today is for a couple of challenges.  First the colors are from Just Us Girls.  The sketch is from Clean and Simple.

 

The colors from the challenge are Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Soft Sky (I used Bashful Blue) and Pink Pirouette.  To make my card, I first grabbed three Paper Daisies and sponged them using a Sponge Dauber.  I used my Anywhere Glue Stick to adhere them to the Bashful Blue card stock.  I added the Pear Pizzazz stem and 1/2 Circle Punch.  I stamped my greeting from Sincere Salutations.  Then I ran the piece through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I think this is such a cool technique--in real life it's hard to tell if the flowers are stamped or not.  I hope you like it too.

If you would like to make this card, here's what you need:

Stamps:  Sincere Salutations

Inks:  Basic Black, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, So Saffron

Card Stock:  So Saffron, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Paper Daisies, 1/2" Circle Punch, Anywhere Glue Sticks, Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon

Butterfly Sketch and Color Challenge

I haven't played in the color or sketch challenge on Splitcoast for quite a while.  So since I got some stamping mojo back, I decided to make a card to combine the two challenges.

 

I really like the look of double cutting the butterfly.  In case you missed it, I did a tutorial a couple of years ago.  This time I only used one layer, but the concept is the same.  I sponged around the inside edges.  It's helpful to protect the outer part with a piece of scrap paper. 

Heres a close up of the butterfly to really see the double cutting.

 

You can see I used a few Stampin' Dimensionals to pop out the inside part of the butterfly.

My ribbon is really Very Vanilla Taffeta sponged with Baja Breeze.  I heated it with my Heating Tool to dry the ink and to give the ribbon a crinkled look.  At the end I added a Paper Daisie that I sponged with Baja Breeze and a Pearl Jewel.

If you would like to make this card, here's what you need.  Now's a great time to shop because you can still earn FREE items with Sale-a-Bration!

Stamps:  Bella Toile Background
