PPA106 - Dress for Success - Mocha Morning Specialty

Time flys and it's already another week at the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. This week's challenge is Dress for Success. To join the fun click here to go to the challenge. It's fun!!!

Here is the challenge: Dressing for Success is easy as 1-2-3 this week at Pals Paper Arts.  Follow our simple recipe to success:  Use 1 piece of designer series paper, 1 punch and 1 sentiment. 

For this card, I used the embossing folder, Framed Tulips to give the card a frame and than since I love this DSP paper, Mocha Morning Speciality, I couldn't resist.

For the sentiment, I used Early Espresso Ink and an image from the stamp set called: Tagtastic which is a hostess set which can be earned for only $10.00. You can't beat that!! Also, I can use this card for most occassions with the saying "Just for You". 

Added some basic pearls, but the paper itself is elegant if you don't want to add more to it.

For the punch, I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch to go accross under the strip of black.

Hard to tell in the photo, but the card was sponged lightly with Soft Suede Ink all the way around on the outside. Stampin dimensionals were used to pop up the saying and I sponged around it using: Soft Suede ink.

Complete List of Supplies:

• Stamp Set - Tagtastic (122747)
• Inks - Early Espresso (119670), Soft Suede (115657) 
• Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Basic Black

PPA103 - Sketch Challenge Tagtastic with New In Colors

Another weekly challenge at the Pals Paper Arts website. This week it's a beautiful sketch design by Margaret Moody and the design team has created some beautiful cards to get you started.

It's easy to join the fun by clicking here to go directly to the challenge and link up your card. Here is mine below....

Love this bear image from the stamp set called: Tagtastic, which is currently a hostess set along with the new In colors: Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party, and Island Indigo. Also played around with the sizzix embosslits called Beautiful Wings using Daffodil Delight as my base for the butterflies.

Love how the new color, Wisteria Wonder matches so well with the Concord Crush cardstock along with Pretty in Pink cardstock. Used the scallop trim corner punch along with the scallop trim border punch to add a little bit more decoration to the card.

As you can see, I used the butterfly embosslit in 3 colors and overlapped the colors on top of each other to add some contrast to the butterflies and added basic rhinestones to make this card sparkle a little.

Once again used stampin dimensionals to pop up the bear tag which I punched out using the Decorative Label Punch. Again, it's so nice to be able to have matching punches for the stamp sets. It makes the card go alot faster. Hope you Enjoy!! Pin It

Mojo Monday MOJO200 sketch - Tagtastic with Petite Pairs

Missed out on last week's Mojo Monday, but not this week. This week they have a new look, sketch designed by Julee Tilman and to celebrate they are giving away prizes. They will add one prize for every 50 entries (up to max of 8) and the randomly choosen winners will receive a $25.00 certificate to Verse Stamps. If you would like to join click here to go to their website. 

Here is mine

I wanted to play with some new DSP, so I grabbed the New In Color Patterned Stack and pulled out Island Indigo. This is such a pretty blue and to go with the new DSP, I went to choose a new stamp set called: Tagtastic (hostess set) and Petite Pairs for the sentiment.



For the cardstock solid colors, I choose Pool Party, another new color along with Lucky Limeade for the strip down piece on the sketch. It's always nice to have colors that work together so nicely.

There are many times when I stop and think what am I going to do here with this sketch, but lucky that this time it came along without thinking forever. I used the circle scissor plus to cut out a 2 1/4"  in Pretty in Pink DSP and a 2 1/2" in Black.

Like I said in one of my previous posts, my head has been thinking flowers, so for this card, I made another flower using whisper white cardstock and for the leaves, I used Build a Blossom stamp set and Pear Pizzaz ink. Almost forgot, I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch to add some contrast with the Lucky Limeade strip.
Hope you Enjoy!!
