DSC Challenge #304

Welcome to another Stars Challenge! This is a sketch challenge, and it was really so simple. 

I have been having so much fun with all the fun new papers from the Holiday Catalog, It 

makes it hard for me to choose what I want to do. 

For this challenge I used the new Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper.

It has a beautiful sheen to it that makes the cards look so elegant.

All of the supplies are from Stampin Up. 

Shimmery White cardstock for the base cut 5 1/2 by 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.

Mossy Meadow cardstock cut at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, and another at 1/4 x 5 1/4.

I cut the DSP at 1 and 1/2 x 5 1/4, and another piece at 2 1/2 x 5 1/4.

This is double sided paper and I just turned one side of the paper over to reveal the

2nd coordinating design.

I butted the 2 matching pieces of DSP up against each other and glued them

to the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of mossy meadow cardstock.

I then layered the 1/4 in strip of mossy meadow right over the seam. 

Stamped the Thinking of You in black Momento ink. 

Very quick and easy, and so fun to make.

And best of all, all of these supplies can be purchased in my Stampin Up store

Hope you enjoyed the card, and may want to make one yourself.

DSC Challenge #302 Thanks

This weeks challenge inspired me to focus on both flowers and fall

colors. I love making flower cards, and these fall colors really speak to me.

I chose to use the following Stampin Up products: 

Grapefruit Grove cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11in, folded at 5 1/2in. 

I layered it with a piece of marbled DSP from the Petal Promenade DSP cut

at 4 in x 5 1/4 in.

That DSP also includes several sheets of paper with individual designs

that can be cut out.

I cut one of the rectangles out and using the Thanks from the Warm

Hearted stamp set, stamped it in the center. If fit perfectly. 

I layered the rectangle onto a piece of Galvanized Metallic paper 

cut at 1/4 in larger. 

I then layered it onto the marbled paper using dimensionals.

The bling is the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls

and Wink of Stella glitter. 

This was an extremely easy and fun card to make!

I hope you will try it!

Toil and Trouble

This weeks challenge is all about color. I love this combination. It is perfect
for Halloween, which is the first thought that came to my mind.
I love the new purples by Stampin Up, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.
I just received my Cauldron Bubble stamp set, but unfortunately the the die cuts
are on back order requiring me to fussy cut, but it was not difficult to do.
I actually enjoyed doing it.
I started by using a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11in.
It is scored at 5 1/2in and turned on it's side to open on the right.
I layered a 4 x 5 1/4 in piece of Toil and Trouble designer series paper.
I then layered a piece of Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie cardstocks
cut at 2 x 3 1/4 ins.
The horizontal strip of striped designer series paper is actually part of one
of the sheets of paper.
 The fussy cut witch and cauldron are then placed using deminsionals.
The sentiment Happy Halloween is from the coordinating stamp set.
I added sparkle by using the black rhinestone jewels.
All products by Stampin Up.
What a fun card to make! If you do not have this bundle yet hurry and get it,
So much fun for the holiday and not scary at all.
