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.

Digital Retreat March #4

Project #4 for the day is one more color challenge (we love color challenges) and stamp challenge. We used the Wonderful Romance stamp set and the Facebook Colour INKspiration Challenge #51. The colors were: Berry Burst, Mango Melody, Highland Heather and Pear Pizzazz.

I struggled with this card a lot! I find when I do this, I really need to get back to a cleaner palette and add more white. Overall the final result was not my favorite, but I could give it to someone and feel comfortable.

While Tracy was finishing up her card, I decided to play with just making a really abstract version of this with just dabbing an inked sponge onto the flower stamp and I really like the result a lot better!

~Enjoy!

Tracy's cheated a little on her card by adding a background of blue and when I protested, she quickly rectified it and replaced the blue for a white background. She also submitted the white to the Stampin' Up! Only Challenges - #219 - Coloring & was selected as a Top 3 card! Way to go Tracy! Don't forget to check out her blog!

Stampin' Up! Convention Swap #2

Season's Greetings

Stampin' Up! hosted it's 30th year birthday convention in Orlando in November. It was said that there would be up to 10,000 people there from every corner of the globe, so I just had to make some swaps! Here is the process for the second set of 100.

This card was so fun to make, it has lots of technique and that is always what I try to provide at a swap. The background it doused with starbursts from the Night in Bethlehem set. Then a layer of corrugated cardstock. The sentiment layer is made with the Snowflake Sentiments set and edged with a good dosing of shimmer paste and a trusty popsicle stick. Topping it off with rhinestones and a flashy ribbon made it all come together!

At the end of every year - I try to start downsizing my stash of In-Colors that will be leaving with in the next 6 months. Last year I used it for my New Years cards - this year I decided to use it for my second set of 100 swaps, so here they are!
~Enjoy
