Dynamic Duos # 79: Black Tie Week

Once again, it is time for a new color challenge at Dynamic Duos.:) This week's challenge is to use Basic Black and Smokey Slate (or Silver) with a dessert option of Christmas. Here's the challenge:

And here's what I made:

As you can see, I chose to use Silver as opposed to Smokey Slate....and I also used my Stylish Stripes Embossing folder...AGAIN! It was difficult to photograph...the Silver Foil sheet was very shinny in the sun.

Pretty straight forward design elements. I first stamped a row trees in Versamark and embossed them with white embossing powder. I then lightly sponged white craft ink around the trees. Next, I stamped theb tree stamp in Whisper White craft repeatedly to create the background row of trees. I then stamped the snowflakes. After it was dry, I got my glue pad out and stamped the ornaments onto the front row of trees and sprinkled them with Silver Stampin' Glitter and let it dry. I tore a piece of white card stock to make the blanket of snow and added a bow for the top of the card using my SU small oval punch. I used the SU: Warmth and Wonder Hostess stamp set from the Holiday Catalog to create this card.

The Dynamic Duo designers have made some awesome creations for this challenge!

Make sure you check them out, and come join the fun! :)

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 ...

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!

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. These large and beautiful flowers are paired with the Lovely Blossoms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock and were then colored with Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends. For fun, I added 1/2" punched circles to the centers of the flowers using retired Night of Navy glossy paper. The sentiment was stamped using Secrete Sea ink and was then cut down with my paper trimmer. The flowers and sentiment were adhered to my card front using Dimensionals. For the background, I die cut 2 sets of Secrete Sea cardstock "circle clusters" and adhered them to a rectangle die cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock followed by 2 pieces of Lovely Blossoms DSP. Next, I added 3 sets of Old Olive die cut leaves around my flowers, a Night of Navy bakers twine bow, and a few white embellishments to finish...
