Sunday Stamps! Challenge #117


Hello, crafty friends! Happy New Year!  How can it already be  January 3, 2016?   Time just keeps flying by!  Today is the first Sunday of the new year, so you know what that means...Yes, a new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  And its an awesome color challenge.  Take a look.

  

I actually ended up making two cards, and couldn't really decide which one I liked the best so I am sharing both of them here for you!  I used a new 2016 Sale-a-bration stamp set called Honeycomb Happiness.  Earn this item FREE with a $50 order from my online store starting 1/5/16! The images in this SAB stamp set are so cute! And coloring them is a breeze!  Given the colors in the challenge, I chose to use the ice cream cone image.  Who doesn't like ice cream, right?

For my first card, I decided to make a watercolor background using my Aqua Painter and Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake Ink refills. After it dried, I added circles using my white craft pad and sponge daubers.


For my 2nd card, I played with the same colors except I also used added another new item called the Confetti Textured Embossing Folder available in the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalog. 


Supplies for both cards:

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

    Very pretty cards but the first one is my fav. The lovely background really pops :) Very nice details with the layers, paper piercing, twine and all those lovely sequins!!
    I also love how you die cut the center out of your oval on the second card and added another smaller oval. And those itty bitty glimmer hearts are scrumptious!

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!

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 ...
