PP100 - Celebration Party 100th at Paper Players

The Paper Player is having their 100th Party Challenge, PP100 and as you can see, you can choose any of your favorite past 100 challenges. Therefore anything goes this week and how cool to see which ones are people's most favorite.

For me, it's hard to select just one favorite, so instead, I looked at it with fresh eyes and went through all of the previous sketches they had and loved Challenge #40, since I love punches and this sketch gives me the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Here is the sketch:

Since my DSP Twitterpated was out and about, I went with that and for contrast used Real Red. The funny thing was, I realized in the end, Riding Hood Red is one of the coordinating cardstock for it, but Real Red works just as well.

For this card, I pulled out the Owl Punch which is so fun to play with and made a girl version with it. Colors used were: Early Espresso, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight and Lucky Limeade for the leaf. The Doily was from the now retired DSP (Flirtatious Specialty)

For these cute little flowers, the stamp set: Language of Friendship was used along with the Boho Blossoms Punch and Island Indigo ink. Stampin Dimensionals were used to pop them up and placed at random. For the side, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch was used in Whisper White.

For the sentiment, used now retired set: Perfect Words since I'm giving this card to my sister and thought it was perfect for her aside from the fact it was super late at night when I finished this card and this set was right next to me. She loves Owls.

FMS39 - Laugauge of Friendship



What a cute sketch design by the very talented Team Designer, Jen Mitchell over at the Freshly Made Sketches blog and I wanted to give a try. So many beautiful cards already there as today is the last day to still enter. 

Here you go:

Picked up the DSP Twitterpated, since it's my most favorite paper, but still trying to challenge myself to use various different color combos with other challenges yet to come still. Blushing Bride was used as the mat background, Island Indigo for the mat stripe on the left hand side and Pear Pizzaz for the 2 1/2' circle.

Love this little bird and flowers from the set: Lauguage of Friendship. It's getting easier to challenge myself and practice more for clean & simple looks, but always uncertain as to if it needs more and/or less. I suppose that's the hard part along with deciding where to start for any card, but always fun.

For the sentiment, the set Loving Thoughts came in handy for this card and used Island Indigo ink for it. Stampin Dimensionals were used under the bird, wing, and little flowers that were done using Riding Hood Red. Hope you enjoy and if you haven't stopped by yet, you can click here to go directly to the challenge.

Mojo Monday 244 - Language of Friendship & Summer Smooches

Another week at Mojo Monday, MOJO244, with another sketch design by Julee Tilman. This week, it's the begining of the month and as many of you know who play it's always fun. 

This time around I played with a color combo I don't normally work with but it's always good to challenge yourself so there I went to my start my card and I must say I loved it in the end. Everyone should try this if you haven't already.

First time playing with this cute stamp set: Language of Friendship and love it.

I started off with this cute little embossing folder called: Framed Tulips and DSP: Summer Smooches. Colors included: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Marina Mist, So Saffron, and Early Espresso.

Ribbon: 3/8" Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon and Basic Rhinestones to add final touches.

To get the white dots on top of the 2 3/8" scallop circle, a white Uni-ball gel pen was used.

Almost forgot, I used the Scallop border punch for the scallop bottoms, 1 3/4" circle, Bird Builder Punch, and of course my favorite, Stampin Dimensionals for under the bird and flowers. Hope you Enjoy!!
