Stamp-a-Faire 2016: Master Color Recipes

The first challenge for Stamp-a-Faire today, Master Color Recipes, is to use a color combo taken from one of nine paintings.  I chose the one inspired by Leonid Afremov's Date in the Park.  It wasn't my original choice looking at the printout, because I was initially drawn to a softer color combo, but when I saw the bold colors of his painting on my computer screen this morning, I just had to use that one instead.  It's really stunning!

I kept my card very simple.  (although I was wishing I had the Mighty Oak stamp set and dies for this)  I cut a Double-Ended Banner by Papertrey Ink out of each color and glued them to a white card base.  It echoes the strong vertical lines in the painting.  I cut my word out of True Black cardstock twice using the Noted die, layering them together for dimension, and adhering it over the strips.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Heart-2-Heart #4 on a white Building Blocks die cut underneath.  The black pops just like the trees in the painting and I really like the look.  It makes for a fun card!

Papertrey Ink 9th Anniversary: Bowls of Kindness

I'm back with another card for one of the Papertrey Ink anniversary challenges.  Actually, I'm back to post three cards!  Separate posts, though, so be watching for those.  This challenge was interesting.  It's a color challenge, but using a paper fortune teller to get your colors.  I remember making those when I was a kid.  Too fun!  I got an Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, and Pure Poppy color combo.

I decided to do a stack of vintage bowls using the Bowl of Sunshine stamp set by Papertrey Ink.  My mom had a green and white bowl that looked just like these.  Oh, the memories!  I stamped the bowls on their matching die cuts using the three colors and glued them onto a white tag.  I stamped a black oval on the tag to ground them.  In hindsight, I should have used a dark gray for my accent rather than black.  Whatever!  I added black to the top of the tag as well.

On a white card base, I added 1/4" strips of cardstock in Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, and Pure Poppy to match the bowls.  Then I stamped a sentiment from Everyday Classics in black ink directly above the strips.  I do love the dramatic warm colors.  Besides, there's just something about these vintage-style bowls that makes me happy.

You can see other cards for the fortune teller color challenge here.  Better yet, print it off and try it out for yourself!  :)  You can find the Color Pop Fortune Teller as a pdf file at that link.  It's definitely a challenge!

Papertrey Ink 9th Anniversary: Hip Hip Hooray

It feels so good to get inky again!  I've been steadily working on labeling the stamped images in my category inventory binders for the past three weeks and I'm still not finished.  Who knew I had so many stamps??  Well actually, I did know.  lol   :D  But it's been interesting to look at each image so closely.  I just didn't think it would take this long.  It will certainly be worth it in the end!

I set that on-going project aside to make a card for the first day of the Papertrey Ink anniversary festivities.  They are celebrating nine years in business this month.  Today was the showcase of the design team with a feature of their favorite card creation from this past year.  We were given a choice of thirteen color combos based on those cards for today's challenge.  Here's the one I selected:

Isn't that a pretty color combination?  I rarely ever use Melon Berry or Lavender Moon, so this combo gave me an opportunity to pull them out.  When flipping through my die inventory book, I saw the Phrase Play #11 die and decided it would be fun to do a little color blocking.  

Maile Belles tends to do CAS-style cards, so I kept my design simple as a tribute to her.  I cut the Phrase Play #11 die from black cardstock and adhered it directly to my white card base.  Then I cut Melon Berry, Harvest Gold, Aqua Mist, and Lavender Moon cardstock with the same die.  I used small pieces of each color to fill in parts of the Hip Hip Hooray sentiment.  I stamped "it's your birthday" from the Phrase Play #11 stamp set in black ink on the bottom panel.  That's all there is to it!

I love it!  Simple and colorful.  I need to whip up a bunch of these to have on hand for birthdays.  If you want to see other cards made for this challenge, check them out here.  I look forward to the rest of the PTI anniversary announcements and challenges.

PTI 8th Anniversary: Butterfly Friend

It's that time of year again!  Papertrey Ink is celebrating its eighth anniversary with daily challenges.  I'm a bit late getting started, but luckily we have several days to do them instead of just one like last year.  I've been battling an awful cold all week and not feeling too well.  Despite that, I've still been stamping! 

Here's my card for the first anniversary challenge, which is to choose one sketch and one color combo from those provided.

I created some stacked butterflies using Heart-2-Heart #10 and the matching dies.  The colors made some pretty combinations!  I bent the top butterfly layer and the antennae for some dimension.  I stamped flourishes in opposite corners of a white panel using Spring Rain ink and then distressed the edges.  I stamped a sentiment from Wet Paint using Smokey Shadow ink.  Finally, I embossed a narrow strip of Smokey Shadow cardstock with polka dots and adhered everything to a Smokey Shadow card base.

It turned out so soft and elegant!  You can see other cards for the challenge here.  I've got my next challenge card finished, but need to wait for daylight to take a picture.  Look for that tomorrow!   :)

Stamps:  Heart-2-Heart #10, Wet Paint, Fancy Flourishes (Papertrey Ink)

Misc:  Heart-2-Heart #10 dies (Papertrey Ink); Polka Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug); distress tool

Berry Bouquet

Time for the monthly Papertrey Ink blog hop!  I really love the inspiration picture this time.  The sweater looks so cozy and warm.  I love the sweet berries inside the galvanized metal pot.

We were given a selection of color combos and sketches based on the inspiration picture that we could use if we so chose.  These are the ones I selected.

I deviated only slightly by adding a scalloped frame and some Ripe Avocado leaves.  It really needed that touch of green.  I used a fun dotted image from Winter Cheer for the background, first stamping the solid circles in Soft Stone, and then the outline circles in Smokey Shadow.  I edged the Soft Stone panel in a silver paint pen.  It's easier to see if you click on the picture to enlarge it.

I cut a scallop frame from Smokey Shadow cardstock using a Shakers & Sprinkles die.  Using the same silver paint pen, I added little dots in each scallop.  I placed it off center to frame my sentiment.  The Soft Stone panel was matted with Smokey Shadow cardstock that was distressed along the edge.  It echoes the lovely textures in the inspiration picture.  The whole thing was glued on an Autumn Rose card base.

I cut a pierced-edge flag from Smokey Shadow and embossed my sentiment from Tags For Spring in silver.  Naturally, all the silver accents are a homage to the galvanized bucket.  I cut some Turning a New Leaf sprigs from Ripe Acocado cardstock and placed three Autumn Rose buttons on top.

I really love how my card turned out and I feel it captures the inspiration picture beautifully.  You can see other cards for the blog hop here.

Stamp-a-Faire 2014: Morning Timer Challenge - Emily

Emily and I both picked the same color combo from the selections for the Stamp-a-Faire Timer Challenge.  Not planned either!  She picked a different sketch though.

I'll let her describe her own card first thing in the morning.  She's already in bed, which is where I should be too!!

You can see other cards for the Timer challenge here.

Stamp-a-Faire 2014: Morning Timer Challenge

Whew, it's been a long day.  Emily and I have spent hours in the studio working on the Stamp-a-Faire challenges.  Here is my card for the Timer Challenge.  We got to pick one color combo and one sketch, and it had to be completed in twenty minutes.  I barely made it.  lol  I was helping my daughter at the same time, so that made it interesting!

I used Soft Stone cardstock for my base and Spring Rain, Winter Wisteria, and Blueberry Sky cardstock with an MFT die for the three scallop borders.  (trimmed to make them shorter)  I stamped my sentiment from Little Bitty Bird at the top.

For the adorable little bird, I first stamped the body in Hawaiian Shores ink.  Then I stamped the bird outline in black ink so it was standing on the sentiment.  I stamped the polka dot wing in Hawaiian Shores, but it didn't show up very well, so I took my white gel pen and added polka dots myself.

It turned out pretty cute!  You can see other cards for the challenge here.  I'll post Emily's timer card next.

Birthday Banner

I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink blog hop this month.  I made a card based on one of the color combinations and sketch choices given for the challenge.  You can see the blog post and other entries here.

Pretty simple, really.  I diecut the triangle banners and stamped them with polka dots in VersaMark ink.  I stamped the black outline from Banner Builders on top.  The string was stamped on white cardstock.  On the left side, I stamped off on scratch paper to get a lighter color of Harvest Gold and then added the word "happy" multiple times.  I stamped the same word in black in the lower left corner.  After gluing on the banners, I distressed the edges of the white panel and then added it to a Harvest Gold card base.  I curved the "birthday" word slightly to mimic the string line before stamping it in black.

Stamps:  Banner Builder, Wet Paint, Polka Dot Basics II (Papertrey Ink)
Ink:  Harvest Gold (Stampin' Up); VersaMark Frost; Tuxedo Black (Memento)

PTI 7th Anniversary Day 1: Pond Birthday

This month is Papertrey Ink's 7th anniversary.  Unbelievable!  I've been following them since the very beginning.  The celebration started yesterday showcasing some of the design team's favorite cards.  Several color combos and sketches were posted along with a challenge to choose one of each to make a project.  Here are the ones I chose:

You can see other options here.   Hmmm...not sure why they are showing up so gray.  That's not what they look like on my computer.  Weird.  Anyway, I pulled out an old Papertrey Ink set called Pond Life for this card.  It caught my eye as I was flipping through my sets and I thought the colors would work perfectly.  Plus, I had a flash of inspiration for the circle.  Voila!

I cut multiple pieces of Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores cardstock using the In the Meadow dies and layered the strips to look like water.  Once glued together, I die cut my circle.  I stamped multiple fish in the water using the same two inks.  The little teeny bubbles were made with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen, which adds just a touch of shimmer while still keeping the masculine vibe.

I stamped the turtle on Kraft cardstock using Leaf Green and Ripe Avocado ink.  Can you see the subtle shell pattern?  Here's a close-up view:

I hand-cut the turtle and placed it according to the sketch.  I added some grass stems to the bottom of my Kraft card base and then glued everything in place.  Last, I stamped my sentiment from Shapes By Design.  Simple and fun!

Stamps:  Pond Life, Shapes By Design (Papertrey Ink)
Paper:  Kraft, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores (Papertrey Ink)
Ink:  Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf, Ripe Avocado (Papertrey Ink); Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Sweet Friend

 
It's time for the Papertrey Ink blog hop!  I enjoy participating in these, although I did skip a few last year due to lack of mojo.  It seems to have returned in full force, thankfully.  I've been making lots of cards this month and having a great time in my studio!  Here's the challenge:

With Valentine's Day rapidly approaching, it is the perfect time to pull out all of your favorite pink supplies and put them to good use!  Your challenge this month is to create a card only using the color pink with the option to use neutrals (such as white, cream, gray, black or kraft).  With all of the different shades of pink to work with, there are all kinds of creative possibilities!  Keep in mind that your project can be for any occasion, as long as you use pink!  We look forward to seeing your project (and the prettiest inLinkz list EVER!) on the 25th!

Who can pass up the chance to use pink?  Not this girl!  The inspiration photo triggered a few ideas, but I ended up going in a completely different direction.  After a post in the PTI forum reminded me of my very first purchases, I pulled out my Boxes, Bags & Tags stamp set.

I created a pretty background panel using several images from the set.  The pretty frame was stamped in Hibiscus Burst ink, followed by flowers in Sweet Blush ink, and then smaller Raspberry Fizz flowers on top of that.  For the four-petal flowers in between the frames, I used a small flower from Iconic Images in Smokey Shadow ink.  It's a lovely neutral that pairs nicely with all the pinks.

I pulled some wide sheer pink ribbon from my stash, first wrapping a knotted piece around the panel, and then adding a bow separately.  I don't use ribbon often, but this one worked well to add some oomph without covering up my pretty background.

For my sentiment, I stamped another Hibiscus Burst frame, adding some little Smokey Shadow filigree to dress it up and make it stand out more from the background.  The word "sweet" is from the Friendship Jars set, and the word "friend" is selectively stamped from a sentiment in Mixed Messages.  As a last touch, I added a little sparkly rhinestone.  The whole sentiment piece is popped up, again to make it stand out from the background.

The background was glued to a Smokey Shadow mat and then to a Hibiscus Burst card base.  I really love the finished card.  So soft and pretty!  It certainly could be used for Valentine's Day for a friend, but it can also work any time of year just to say thank you or let someone know that you care.

Stamps:  Boxes, Bags & Tags; Mixed Messages; Iconic Images; Friendship Jar (Papertrey Ink)
Paper:  White, Hibiscus Burst, Smokey Shadow (Papertrey Ink)
Ink:  Hibiscus Burst, Sweet Blush, Raspberry Fizz, Smokey Shadow (Papertrey Ink)
Misc:  ribbon, rhinestone (Stampin' Up) 

You Make My Heart Flutter

Obviously, I'm on a sketch kick this month.  If it gets me creating, that's a good thing!  This time, I used the Viva La Verve Week 1 sketch, along with the color combo option.  My card also fits the Diva Dare challenge to use hearts.  When flipping through my stamp inventory binder, I saw the All Aflutter butterfly as well as this wonderful sentiment from Twitterpated.  It's a match made in heaven!  :)

Don't you just love that pretty paper?  In my "new" stash of retired paper, I found this single sheet from the Ski Slope pack.  The colors are just perfect for the January Viva La Verve color challenge.  I love serendipity like that.

I layered the Ski Slope paper on Real Red cardstock and then on a Chocolate Chip card base.  The red strip was embossed with the Hugs & Kisses folder.  Yes, again.  I love it!  The sentiment "I'm yours"  was embossed on a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock cut with the Jar Labels die and then tucked underneath the red strip.

The heart is actually an outline image from With Love that I filled in using a Real Red marker.  I wish Verve had this heart as a solid image.  It's a great size and shape.  I stamped my sentiment over top in black ink.  (and yes, I did try it over the heart outline first, but it didn't look right)

I embossed the two butterflies using Early Espresso powder and then colored then with a Baja Breeze marker, deliberately making them streaky.  I like the look!  I bent the wings for dimension and also raised one up using a pop-dot.

Inside the card, I adhered a white panel and strips of embossed red and the patterned paper.  Dresses it up nicely!  This card turned out to be one of my favorites that I've created this year so far.  Maybe I'll give this one to my hubby instead!   :)

Stamps:  All Aflutter, With Love, Twitterpated (Verve)

A Very Big Heart

I combined two challenges for this card.  The layout follows Freshly Made Sketches #119 (found here) and the color combo is from a new challenge called The Card Concept.  (found here)  I chose to use a Clean & Layered style for my card.  I would venture to say that most of my cards fall in that particular style.

I dug this embossed pink heart out of my scrap drawer.  It's probably been in there a couple of years!  When I saw this sketch, for some reason I remembered it was there and decided to use it for my card.  The first challenge for The Card Concept was to use a kraft, pink, vanilla, and espresso color combo.  So pretty!

My card base is Early Espresso cardstock with a layer of Pink Pirouette.  I stamped my sentiment using Early Espresso ink in the lower right corner.  I used the generational stamping technique to add text to my Vintage Cream layer and deliberately made it uneven.  Not splotchy, but some parts of the text are darker than others.  I mounted the panel on Early Espresso and then adhered to the card at an angle like the sketch, trimming off the excess.

I cut a flag banner out of burlap fabric, glued it in place, and then put the pink heart over top.  With the sentiment I chose, this could be a thank you card as well as a Valentine's Day card.  Sweet and simple.  :)

Stamps:  Love You Much, Happy Heart Day, Friend By Definition (Stampin' Up)
Paper:  Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso (Stampin' Up); Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink)
Ink:  Early Espresso (Stampin' Up); Fine Linen (Papertrey Ink); VersaMark
Misc:  Fishtail Flags STAX die (My Favorite Things; burlap, white embossing powder

Pink Monster Love

I've gone into my studio the last three days to make a card with no real progress.  (Darn those mojo-blocking fears!)  Today I was determined to push past it and create something.  My Favorite Things started a new Color Palette challenge this month with the colors pink, black and white.  (see it here)  I love that combo so I pulled out some Pretty in Pink cardstock and the Peek-a-Boo Squared die, and things just evolved from there.

After cutting out the Peek-a-Boo Squared die, I stamped some distressed diamonds using the matching Stampin' Up ink.  I also cut it out of white cardstock to use the inner circles.  I stamped some images from a retired MFT set called Monsters Ink.  Aren't they fun?  The long monster was stamped across the bottom circles and onto the white mat, and the other two monsters were stamped on the top two circles.  I added the black bowtie and hat, darkening them up a bit with a marker.  After coloring in the monsters with a Pretty in Pink marker, I stippled the bodies using the same color to give them a mottled look.

Once the pink square/circles were glued in place, I stamped some diamonds in black on the top left and then added my sentiment "so in love with you" on the sides of the square.  The "YOU" is actually part of a sentiment that says "Thank You", but I only inked up the one word.  The card needed something a bit more, so I diecut a Pretty in Pink heart (from the Homespun Birdhouse set), stippled it with dots, and then crumpled it up for texture.

Inside the card, I stamped some more diamonds in Pretty in Pink in the lower left corner and stamped a monster over the top.  I added the sentiment "today and every day" in black from yet another MFT set.  (Yes, I used three different sets for the sentiments! Five sets in total.)

So, this card is not entirely what I had in my head to start.  Isn't it funny how that works?  I just kept messing around and adding/changing things until I was happy with it.  It turned out pretty cute!  :)

PTI Fast Food Blog Hop Challenge

Unbelievable.  I've missed several Papertrey Ink blog hops this year, mainly due to lack of mojo once I got in my studio. (usually at the last minute)  This time, I got it done AHEAD of time.  Almost a week early.  There is hope, folks.

This month's blog hop challenge is a color and sketch combo called Fast Food with six different choices.  I was immediately drawn to this simple sketch and yummy color combo with a gorgeous layer cake.  Who wouldn't love a slice of this?

Doesn't that look divine?  Super easy sketch too!  I knew exactly what I was going to do.  In fact, I ended up making two cards.

I simply took each color, die cut a strip using the Double-Ended Banner die, stacked them on my card like the sketch, and then stamped my sentiment.  I decided it needed a little something extra, so I stamped a large flourish in VersaMark across the strips.  So quick!

Once I finished my first card, I saw the extra banners lying on my desk (the die cuts two sizes) and decided to make another one, but this time off-setting the strips enough to leave the banner edge.  I love how it looks! 

There was a Make-It-Monday video sometime ago on glittered buttons and I've wanted to try it ever since.  This card was the perfect excuse!  I searched through my stash to find similar buttons in each color.  Not an easy task.  I got pretty close though.  I covered the top with liquid glue and then covered them in crystal fine glitter. 

So deliciously blingy!  They are the frosting on the cake.  :)  lol  Letting those dry was the only part that took some time.  I added them to their matching strip of paper in a stack.  (like the cake, naturally)  Then I just stamped my sentiment and called it done.

These cards were quite easy and very fun to make.  Glad I could participate in the blog hop this month.  If you want to see more, check it out here.

Stamp-a-Faire: Breakfast Bake & Take

Good morning!  Well actually, good afternoon!  It took me most of the morning to come up with this design.  The first challenge for today's Stamp-a-Faire is a color and sketch combination.  Six choices for each.  Pick one color combo and one sketch.  Seems easy enough.  NOT!  Did anyone else find the color combos difficult?  I really struggled getting it to work.  After trying several of them, this is the color combo I finally used.

It has two neutral colors, which gave me a better chance at getting this card done so I can move on to the other challenges.  lol  Must be the perfectionist in me.  I like doing things in order!  I picked a different sketch originally, but then decided on this fun sketch instead.

I love the circles!  Once I figured out what I was doing, it was quick to punch all the circles out.  Playing with the arrangement took the most time.  For the sentiment, I embossed a vellum strip with a fun dot pattern and then stamped the sentiment at the bottom.  I love how it turned out!

What do you think?  It would totally work for a masculine card.

Emily is not nearly as indecisive as me.  She picked her color combo and sketch immediately.  lol  I helped her cut out the pieces, gave her a few suggestions, and then let her do it on her own.

She's been done for quite a while and has been asking for the past hour if we could please start the Kool-Aid dye challenge.  lol  Good thing she has siblings to distract her.   :D
