Dynamic Duos: #78 Subtly Yours....

Hello, fellow stampers! It's time for another Dynamic Duos challenge. Yippee-Skippee!  This time we want to see some "subtle" creations using Crumb Cake and Always Artichoke.....Here's the challenge:
 
And here's what I made for this weeks challenge:
 Oh what fun it was to create this goody.  I pulled out all kinds of "accessories".  Here are a few explanations: I stamped each ornament in Crumb Cake onto Very Vanilla card stock. I then stamped each one of them again using my glue pad and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds glitter onto them.  I die cut out the ornament images onto a piece of Always Artichoke card stock and then stamped the branches using my Always Artichoke craft pad. Yep, I have an Always Artichoke craft pad.  As a matter of fact, I have all the original SU craft pads that were offered way back when. : ) Then I embossed the branches with Clear embossing powder.  I then stamped the ornaments string with my Versa mark pad and embossed it with Very Vanilla embossing powder.  I then ran this piece through my Big Shot using the Stylish Stripes embossing folder (and prayed that it wouldn't ruin the embossed images...and it didn't!)  Note to self: stop using the Stylish Stripes embossing folder on every card you make! :)
For assembly, I used dimensionals to raise the Always Artichoke piece of card stock onto a piece of Crumb Cake and "dropped" the die cut ornaments inside for perfect placement. I then added the die cut stars.  After more layering and adding a bow, I placed this piece onto the Crumb Cake card base using dimensionals again.  Finally, everything was accented with Basic Pearls.  In real life, she is pretty sparkly! : )
I hope you find this inspiring, and pop on over to Dynamic Duos and play along!!!  For more "subtly yours" inspiration, please stop by the other designers and see what they have made:

    I was going to say your card is stunning, but everyone beat me to it. So it's dazzling! I think my favorite detail is actually the strings for the ornaments -- is that from the Merry Little Christmas set? I've been wanting something else to use for ornament strings besides a straight line or a ribbon. Stealing this!

    This card is drop-dead gorgeous! And you can keep using that striped embossing folder--it works really well on this card. I think my favorite part is the sparkly 3D fir boughs--so pretty. Beautiful job this week, Annette!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
