Sunday Stamps! #242

Welcome back to another challenge at Sunday Stamps!. This week we have a sketch challenge for you  to play along with, and here's what I made using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle.

Although, I love the Poinsettia Place DSP from the Poinsettia Place Suite, I decided to make a traditional red poinsettia Christmas card by pairing the bundle with the Heartwarming Hugs DSP. Both these Christmas papers from the 2020 Mini Catalog are on sale until the end of the month.

I have to admit that I have never bought a Poinsettia plant for Christmas.  I can barely remember to water the plants I do have. lol  But- I have to say that I fell in love with this bundle and the many intricate die pieces which I see being used beyond card making.

I love that you can stamp and color the petals, or just die cut them or a combination of both.  The color combinations are endless.  For this creation, I die cut the petals using Real Red cardstock and then went back and stamped onto the petals using Real Red ink in keeping with my traditional poinsettia theme.

My card layout follows our new sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
