Color Throwdown #398

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am sharing a fun card I made following the color challenge at Color Throwdown.  Here's the challenge:
Some super fun, and bright summer colors for this weeks challenge.  The colors are stated as: red raspberry, hot pink, lime green and bright yellow.

Here's what I came up with using: Raspberry Ripple, Melon Mambo, Cucumber Crush and Daffodil Delight Stampin' UP! ink colors.

I started out by white washing a piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock with Cucumber Crush and Daffodil Delight ink refills.  I then heat set it, and flicked (like my professional word?) Raspberry Ripple droplets randomly onto it.  I, then heat set it again.  I was then ready to stamp my images using Basic Black ink.  This is the Falling Flowers stamp set., and the sentiment is from the Love & Affection stamp set.


I then cut three of the largest flowers from the May Flowers Framelits in Raspberry Ripple, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight cardstock and pieced them together.  Next, I added three leaves die cut in Cucumber Crush.  Sequins and Daffodil Delight Enamels finish it off.

The stamp set and framelits can be purchased as a bundle to save 10%!  See page 127 of the annual catalog for more information.

    Love the big pieced flower! Putting all of those little pieces into the die cut must have been time-consuming, but it was definitely worth it. Thanks for joining us at The Color Throwdown!

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 ...

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...
