Upsy Daisy....Hawaii Papaya Ds style!


I think everyone has this set by now...or has at least taken advantage of the discount Stampin' UP! has offered for this beautiful set...if you haven't purchased this set...there still is time. See the "Never Before Seen" special at http://www.stampinup.com/ .

I made this card while in Canada over Labor Day weekend. Problem was (at least for me) that I did not have any chocolate chip card stock, I forgot my craft white pad and embossing powder, and I forgot my whisper white card stock. Plus I did not have kiwi kiss striped ribbon.
Some how I made it through the designing phase of this card using close to cocoa card stock, my vanilla craft pad (without emb. powder) and non SU ribbon. I think it turned out OK. But I do need to make a point here...I know I am spoiled with all of SU's matching products if I am complaining about how this card turned out! There is a significant difference when stamping a solid image on non-SU white card stock...it's just not as clear. Here you can sorta tell, but non- stampers can't!!!!!!
I was immediately attracted to Hawaii Papaya DS paper because I love browns (I wear them a lot) and terracotta. Have you seen my kitchen? Just take a look at the top picture of this blog...that pretty much sums it up...coffee...and those warm colors...colors of fall- they are the best.

After I made this card, I decided to change the background and use all of the different patterns in the Hawaii Papaya DS paper...so the other photo is of my preassembly of it. They all turned out great...however I did not take a picture of the finished product. I will have to do that later and share tomorrow. Till then, enjoy and have a great day! Annette

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
