Thanks in Pop Of Pink for #GDP036

Hello Stampin Friends,

Today's card was inspired by a CASE challenge over at Global Design Project.  Wow!  What amazing cards I've seen from the designers who share on the GDP blog.

The challenge was to CASE this card from the talented Paula Dobson.

I REALLY wanted to challenge myself and use the new 
Stampin' Up! Pop of Pink dsp.  (pink isn't normally my friend.  lol)

So...since I already had all of my circle punches on my desk, that's what inspired me toward my card for today.  
I hope you enjoy!
blessings,

Happy Balloon Day! Freshly Made Sketches #237

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm finally back to playing along with blog challenges and I have an offering for you today!  

I chose this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches because it was so open to interpretation.  

I decided to use my favorite dsp from the retiring 
Occasions Catalog (May 31) 
called Shine On.  It's just a bit quirky and fun!  

If you like it as much as I do, be sure to order it before it's gone for good.  ;-)

I hope you enjoy!

blessings,
barb

"Happy Poppies" For TSOT #229

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today I'm here with my newest card for The Try Stampin'-Or Not-On Tuesday blog challenge.  

I really loved this sketch from design team mate, Hillary, and find it offers endless possibilities.  

There is also a flower theme this week and you can use the theme or not.  I chose to use it for my background.  Flowers and butterflies go hand in hand, don't you think?  

I'd love to see you share your creations on the TSOT blog or on the Facebook page at:  Try Stampin' - Or Not- On Tuesday Challenges.

Happy Stamping!

Ok, now onto my creation for this sketch challenge:

My card:

The first designer paper that popped into my head for this sketch and theme challenge was Pretty Petals.  This paper is one of my favorite things in the new Idea Book this year.  

You can't really tell in my photo, but the white background paper is from the new Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP.  I chose the tree bark embossed design.  I like the subtle effects it offers in person.  I also love the effects of the new White Perfect Accents.  I think they're just the right touch on this card.

Details:

Then, of course there are the details.  They add so much to a card, don't they?  I really enjoyed how my little butterfly turned out.  

I used the Watercolor Wings Bundle 3 step stamp set and the Butterflies Thinlits Dies to create the little fellow, using Tuxedo Black, Watermelon Wonder, and Calypso Coral inks.

And the double "hello" was created with both Color Me Irresistible DSP in white and the new In Color Envelope Paper in Watermelon Wonder using the Hello You Thinlit Dies, another of my favorite items in this catalog!
