I stamped the flower in Elegant eggplant, cut it out, added a Build a brad to the center and attached it with a Stampin' dimensional. The tag was made by inking the stamp with the Elegant eggplant marker. I used the Small Tag punch for it and layered it on the Tag punch.

Hello! I know it's been way too long since I posted a project but I was able to create some things for a recent contest my upline held. This is a 6 x 6 scrapbook made with the Vintage Vogue stamp set found in the current Occasions mini catalog. I used So saffron, Bashful blue & Chocolate chip cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in chocolate chip. The top corners were punched with the new Scallop Trim Corner punch also found in the occasions mini.

Stampstuff 701  Finally, I got the chance to play again in Kristina's Color Inspiration Challenge!

This week's colors were Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Pink Pirouette & Whisper White.

For the background I used the pink polka dot paper from the Bella Rose designer series paper. The sentiment comes from the Inspired from Nature stamp set. I used a small chocolate felt flower from the Flower fusions and a rhinestone brad to add a little bling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stampstuff 704  The main embellishment is the butterfly die cuts from the Beautiful butterflies bigz dies and is cut from patterned paper from Bella Rose dsp and textured Close to cocoa cardstock. I added 3 half pearls from the Pretties kit and twisted some wire for the antennas.

The piece of Whisper white was put through the Big Shot machine with the Texturz plates.


All supplies are from Stampin' Up!

Stampstuff 697  This is a design from a recent card class that I taught. I used Riding hood red cardstock and the Bella rose designer series paper, which was cut using the Big shot and the Top Note bigz die. I used the Kiwi kiss/Very vanilla double sided satin ribbon to cover the seam.

 

 

 

 

 

Stampstuff 699  The main image was stamped in Riding hood red using the Cute & curly stamp set which is part of the Curly label punch bundle. It's punched with the Curly label punch of course. I added a small flower cut from the dsp paper to the edge with a tiny rhinestone brad. The sentiment comes from a retired set called So Very.

Stampstuff 683   These are the three projects that everyone made on Saturday night at my Mystery Hostess Party.

This card was made using creamy caramel & whisper white cardstock. The patterned paper is the Parisian Breeze specialty paper, which is textured, cover-weight cardstock. It's double-sided and comes in gorgeous designs. I used the Simple salutations stamp set, the Designer label and the Wide oval punch and the Chocolate chip double stitched grosgrain ribbon.

Stampstuff 684 

Everyone also got to try the Big Shot machine. We used it to create the small dots on the whisper white using the Texturz plates. Then we also used the Simple flower embosslits to cut out & emboss the main image. We used the sponge dauber to add a little color to the flower. Then added a button from the Button Latte collection.


Stampstuff 685 


The next project is a Ribbon bookmark using either the Baja breeze or Kiwi kiss striped grosgrain ribbon, the Scallop circle punch, the 1 1/4" circle punch and the Five petal flower punch. The flower image is from the Sale-a-bration stamp set called Polka dot punches. A silver brad was added to the center. The designer series paper used was Urban garden. At the end of the ribbon they could have chosen between the Filigree or Flower designer brads.

Feb14-09 135  This adorable little book is a creation I made for a class that I taught over the weekend. It was made with half of the Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin' kit which includes Certainly celery, So saffron, Baja breeze and Old olive textured cardstock along with coordinating double-sided paper and self-adhesive die cuts. The only other products that I needed were the clear button and Baja breeze striped grosgrain ribbon. All supplies are from Stampin' Up! except the sentiment on the cover from Verve stamps.
