Dynamic Duos #87: Black Tie Week

Hello, stampers! This weeks challenge at Dynamic Duos is to create a project using Black and Melon Mambo.  The Dessert option is to use umbrellas.   I thought I didn't have any umbrellas, but being a Dynamic Duo designer, I thought I should try to include the dessert option if at all possible. So, I dug thru my tiny stash of stamp sets (ha! ha!) and found one. :) 
It happens to be a VERY old stamp set that was also a Sale-a-bration stamp set from way back when.  Here's the challenge:
And here's the card I made:
 
A cheer up buttercup kind of card. : )
 
 
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Send a Celebration (retired), Geometrical, Petite Petals, Banner Blast (SAB set), and You're Lovely (SAB set)
INK: Onyx Black Versafine, Versmark and White craft pad
PAPER: Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: Melon Mambo and Basic Black DSP, White embossing powder, Melon Mambo reinker, Black Watercolor crayon, Aqua Painter, Petite Petals punch, Chalk Talk Framelit, Finishing Touches Edgelit, Itty Bitty Shapes punch, Arrows Textured embossing folder, 5/8" White Organza Ribbon, Basic Pearls and Gray Bakers Twine.
Chalk Talk Framelits Dies Punch Pack Petite Petals Clear Bundle Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Geometrical

    Definitely cheery! Every little detail is cute! I especially like that (new?) chevron embossing folder--it seems to be indicating "life is looking up," perfect with your sentiment.

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 ...
