Digital Retreat May #1 - Tropical Chic - #simplestamping

My friend Tracy and I have the opportunity to create together digitally on Saturday! We started with a color combination challenge of Gray Granite, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight. Tracy does a ton of color challenges & blog hops, so this inspiration came from one of those she was preparing for.

The tricky part this month is trying to find a set that will be in the 2019-2020 catalog that neither of us have purchased from yet -so it has to be a carry over set - there were not many to choose from but we both had Tropical Chic & neither of us have used it very much. See Tracy's version below, I love what she did with the frmae & the corrugated paper behind it! Since it was first in the day - I considered this my warm up card - #simplestamping!

I did have to color the baker's twine and also the rhinestones with a Blends marker to get a little more yellow on the card.

~Enjoy

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives March 2019 - Yellow

The envelope lining for this month's Paper Pumkin (Poppin' Birthday) was super cute & I found myself making more alternatives with it than the items that were supplied!

~Enjoy

This one looks really close to the pink one I made - it is - I CASEd myself! I loved how the pink cupcake one came out so I decided to replicate it again in yellow.

The cupcake is from the Hello Cupcake set stamped in So Saffron & then I hand traced it with Soft Suede. I topped it off with a generous helping of Wink of Stella and popped it up with dimensionals. I peeled off some sequins from the Mini Sequin Trim & applied them to the frosting.

I applied some Daffodil Delight to a sponge & very lightly tapped around the edge of the white cardstock giving it a slightly speckled appearance as well as adding some color. Happy Birthday is stamped with Soft Suede.

All of the background papers are torn, some top & bottom. The background is again from the envelope liner and the edges sponged with Daffodil Delight, the plaid is made using the Gingham Gala paper & then I added additional thin & thick lines using Soft Suede markers. The hat stamp included in the set is inked in Daffodil Delight on Daffodil Delight cardstock and the white is embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. Soft Suede is applied to all of the pieces to dirty up the card a bit more. Tying the whole thing together is some Yellow and White Baker's Twine and some Mini Sequin Trim in gold!!!

The envelope is stamped with Daffodil Delight and Soft Suede using the Amazing Life & Hello Cupcake stamp sets.

This cute cupcake card uses the envelope lining as the background. The bottom section is a two inch swatch trimmed from the inside of the card with the presents / cake trimmed away. The light yellow was embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. Both were scuffed with scissors and sponged with Soft Suede & it is topped off with a strip of Mini Sequin Trim to hide the seem & add some glitz! The whole card sits on a Soft Suede base.

The Cupcake from Hello Cupcake is stamped with Daffodil Delight and topped with a Soft Suede sentiment. I added some rhinestones colored with Daffodil Delight Blends for a little more sparkle. Another strip of mini sequin trim & some ribbon from my stash completes the look.

The envelope is stamped with the Hello Cupcake stamp set and Daffodil Delight & Soft Suede.

This was the first attempt at an alternate using the packages from the inside of the card provided with the kit. Happy Birthday is stamped in Memento Black ink and all of the packages are topped with Black Mini Sequin Trim. The bow is from the kit with the big border trimmed down. I added some details to the bow with black and yellow markers and popped them all up with dimensionals.

The light yellow background is made from two 2" swatches trimmed from the inside of the card with the presents / cake trimmed away. The light yellow was embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. This is all layered on Basic Black & Daffodil Delight and I add some retired gold sequins for some added glitz!

The envelope is stamped with the Hello Cupcake and Amazing Life stamp sets and inked with Daffodil Delight and Memento Black ink and small dots were hand done with Flirty Flamingo and Bermuda Bay markers.

I played around with all of these leftover little triangles for a while before deciding on a pinwheel/sunshine element for this card. I trimmed all the leftover pieces to the smallest size / shape triangle I had. I adhered all the triangle to white cardstock & then ran them through the Corrugated embossing folder along the striped lines.

Those were then applied to a Daffodil Delight Card front that was embossed with the Swirls & Curls Embossing folder and the edges are sponged with Soft Suede.All of the triangles are popped up with dimensionals. The center is cut with Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies in So Saffron & Soft Suede and a little circle of white behind them.

Sunshine is cut twice from So Saffron & Soft Suede using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, stacked as offset so you see the yellow shadow and also popped up. "You" "are" and "my" are hand drawn, hand cut and popped up as well. Tied up neatly with a double stand of Linen Thread.

The envelope uses the cute border stamp from the Amazing Life stamp set and Soft Suede ink.

Spring Retreat - Builder Birdcage

Aren't these little birds just the cutest? The Builder Birdcage stamp set is super flexible and super cute! This first card I made for someone who let me constantly borrow her Cuttlebug machine since I was traveling. I did bring my own plates and luckily she was very sweet to let me borrow her machine - thanks Nancy!

Her daughter was clearing out her paper stash, so the envelope flap was covered in one of those papers I picked up for cheap and since I was hand delivering it to her, it was safe to cover just the back flap. The color combo I used was Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo and then I embossed the card front after stamping with the Tufted embossing folder.

~Enjoy!

I CASEd myself from the Day by Day challenge with the eggs all lined up. I lined up these cute birdies in Memento Black, Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake. The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake and cut with the Decorative Label punch.

I CASEd the background from Pinterest for this one and switched up the colors and then waited until I got home to add all the additional layers of the bird cage and the sprigs. Super cute, this one ended up going to my friend Louise for her birthday! I used Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Powder Pink. The birdcage was an old die I have had for years and the sprigs are from Flourish Thinlits and Bouquet Bunch Thinlits.

Look at this super cute card I found on Pinterest! It uses the Day by Day Paper Pumpkin set from December 2018 to make the different pieces of the flowers. So cute!! This one uses Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove and Mossy Meadow.

~Enjoy!

One last card for this set again making flowers from the little stamp pieces. Once again a shout out to Stampin' Pretty for the inspiration! I love the polka dot embossed Early Espresso background and Grapefruit Grove flowers.

Here are all of the cards for the collection - so super cute and easy!

Spring Retreat #2 - Day by Day Paper Pumpkin

This next group of cards is so cute and pixie-like, I loved using the dots and stars from the Day by Day December 2018 Paper Pumpkin stamp set. Most of these ideas are CASEd from Pinterest with a color change, but I am really happy with all the cute cards! This first card is CASEd from Scraps by Sissy with a color change to Lemon Lime Twist and Daffodil Delight.

~Enjoy!

I love, love, love this card & CASEd from Pinterest, although I cannot find the original poster. It was done with white embossed dots and stars and then the background sponge inked with several shades of blue including Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and Pacific Point.

This one was CASEd from my good friend Tracy Marie Lewis over at Stuff N Thingz. She made hers in Pumpkin Pie and you can see it in her video! Mine was switched up to Highland Heather & I know exactly who this card will go to when their birthday comes around!

One last card with the stars and dots made into a cute little planter! Once again CASEd from Pinterest with a color swap from Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana to Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry.

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives September 2018

Here are some ideas for the September 2018 Paper Pumpkin. I usually do not get the September Paper Pumpkin but glad I did this year - I had such fun converting the supplies for treat bags into cards. The inspiration was everywhere and although about half of these are CASEd to some degree, I had fun creating some alternatives as well. Just when I thought I was done, I came up with another idea. This was such a fun kit!!!!

~Enjoy

My Favorite!

This may have originally started with a spark by Suzanne Netz, but I decided the card needs a little more purple, since I was sending it to my friend who loves purple, and added gorgeous grape corrugated cardstock behind the original artwork as well as some more creepy crawly spideys on the card base. I did not have the spider trinkets, so I borrowed a plastic spider button from my stash.

This is another one of my favorites & I think it may have been an original!

Other Alternatives

The following 5 images are loosely CASEd from Jennifer Sootkoos. I didn't have any of the paper she used, but I did have some leftovers from my June 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit! I think the addition was a great success!

This one was loosely CASEd from Beauty and the Stamper. One thing I did with this card that I really liked was added the gradient coloring of Daffodil Delight to Tangerine Tango with the word stamps. They ended up looking a little like Candy Corn. So cute!!!

This card is pretty much a direct copy from Libby Fens / Libby Stamps, except she used the subtle embossing folder & I used the sequins. But the envelope design is all mine. I used the Warm Hearted Hostess set for the little skull , designer line and starbursts.

This card started off with a spark from Suzanne Netz, but she used white for the shaker card & inked it, where I changed mine into Tangerine Tango and crumpled it. then inked it and jazzed up the banner a bit more. The envelope I think turned out so cute with stamps from the Warm Hearted Hostess set.

Inspired by Karen Calburn, this is almost a direct copy of hers, but I did not have the spider web embossing folder, so I went with the trees. She also backed hers with a patterned purply paper, where I just went with a thin layer of black. I love the coordinating envelope made with moons, stars & bats from the kit.

The next few cards are direct copies from Stampin Pretty, I love her simple and clean designs! I did add the leaves embossing folder to mine though to give it a little more of a pop!

I didn't have the exact purple ribbon she used, so I had to pull out some retired ribbon from my stash.I also added the waves embossing folder to jazz up the background a little more.

This one was copied from someone in the Facebook group - but could not tell you who! I did change it a little from the original design.

Don't forget the insides!

The insides of the cards were almost as fun to make as the outsides. I used a vintage stamp for my Happy Halloween, and I inked the whole surface with Daffodil Delight, then I inked just the top have with Tangerine Tango - I love the candy corn effect it gave the sentiment! Paired with the cute stamps from the kit or the skull, decorated line and starburst from the Warm Hearted Hostess set finished it off perfectly!

One more for the road...

Just when I thought I was done making cards, I decided to use up the little paper inserts for the bottom of the bags as mats and stamp each one with a different Halloween icon in a different color. I shared it with the PP Facebook group and within a few days I saw someone has already CASEd it on Pinterest! I will take that as a compliment! Sentiment, design lines and skulls are from the Warm Hearted Set.
