Subtly Yours....Dynamic Duos #98

Happy Saturday!  We are moving onto some soft and subtle colors this week using Wisteria Wonder and So Saffron. Here's this weeks challenge:

And here's my card creation:

I thought these colors would be great for Easter and I wanted to use my Spiral Flower die again.  It's so cool and makes beautiful flowers very, very easily.  New toys are so much fun, don't you agree?  I also added the fringe on the bottom -which is also a new toy for me. :)

Dynamic Duos #97: Bold and Cheery!

Good morning, stampers! It's time for another color challenge at Dynamic Duos and this week we are making creations using some bold and cheery colors. Drum roll, please...... Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise! Hoot-hoot!  Fun colors, right?  Here's the challenge:

And here's my card creation:

I had a hard time deciding which set to use as so many would look good with these "hot" colors, but in the end....my new stamp sets ALWAYS win. :)

This new stamp set can be found in the Occasions catalog. It's called Another Great Year.   I love the font it has. I recently put it together and decided it needed some attention. I ended up with a few "drafts" on my stamp table, but in the end decided on this particular one. I love it!  It's just so Bold and Cheery, don't you agree?

And of course I had to use my new Chalk Marker.  I just love that thing! It dries quickly and goes on smoothly.  So fun!

RECIPE:

STAMPS: Another Great Year

INK: Memento Black and Versamark

PAPER: Tempting Turquoise, and Melon Mambo card stock

ACCESSORIES: Oval Framelits, Melon Mambo DSP, White Embossing Powder, Tea Lace Paper Doilies, Chalk Marker and white sequins.

Head on over to Dynamic Duos and play along! But, before you go, please visit the other members of the Design Team and see what they have created!

Dynamic Duos #96: Your Choice!

Good morning! Happy Saturday!  This week at Dynamic Duos, you get to choose the color of your choice  to pair with Gumball Green!  Here's the challenge:

And here's my card creation. I chose to use Island Indigo with Gumball Green.

A simple card, I know, I know.
But hey, I think it looks darn good with it's simple presentation. The flowers are so vibrant that you really don't need to add too much. It makes a statement all by itself.  In case you didn't know, I'm a sucker for flowers...all of them.  I have way too many stamp sets that have flowers, but gosh darn, this set is so so pretty. Don't you think so??? Have I mentioned how much I LUV (as Tenia Nelson would say) that water mark image?! It's absolutely my most favorite "stamp image" in the new catalog.

And look how cool the Scallop embossing folder looks with it.  LUV it!

I stamped two sets of flowers and aqua painted them with my reinkers after stamping the water mark randomly over them.  I did add some Crushed Curry to the center of the flowers as well.  And see those white dots?  That was made supper easily using the White Chalk Marker. Another yummy accessory to add to your stamp/craft collection. :)
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Happy Watercolor
INK: Basic Black, Island Indigo, Garden Green, Smokey Slate and Crushed Curry
PAPER: Island Indigo, Garden Green and Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: Aqua painter, Scallops embossing folder, White Chalk Marker, retired Island Indigo ribbon and dimensionals.

Scallops folder  #132971

White Chalk Marker #132133


So now you've seen my creation using Gumball Green and Island Indigo. Let's see what color you choose to use. So head on over to Dynamic Duos and play along! :)

Dynamic Duos #95: Triple Threat Week

It's Triple Threat Week at Dynamic Duos, and this week we are looking for crafty creations using the colors: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky and Pale Plum.  Here's the challenge:

And here's my card creation:

 I have about a half a pack of the retired color Pale Plum left....so I was able to use the exact colors for this challenge (note: I probably have EVERY retired color since the creation of Stampin' UP!...no joke).  Hoarder?  Nah....

 I used a current stamp set called Cycle Celebration and some retired DSP paper in Rich Razzleberry and Soft Sky.

The cycle is stamped in Basic Gray. I then sponged Soft Sky onto the wheels.  I added some glitter to the spokes on the wheel, the handle bars and seat.  Then I topped it off with a couple of Rhinestones.  It definitely looks like a sparkly bicycle in person. :)   I also used the new SCALLOPS embossing folder and sanded the DSP to distress it a bit.
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Cycle Celebration
INK: Basic Gray, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Sky
PAPER: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky, and Pale Plum
ACCESSORIES: Oval Framelits, Banner Framelits, Scallops Embossing folder, Needlepoint Border Embossing folder, Scallop Edge Border punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punch, Corner Rounder punch, White Bakers Twine, Basic Rhinestones and retired Rich Razzleberry ribbon.

Cycle Celebration # 130273

Oval Framelits # 129381

Banner Framelits #132173

Scallops folder  #132971

Okay, so now you've seen my creation, so why don't you stop on over to Dynamic Duos and join the fun! Can't wait to see what you create!

Dynamic Duos: #94 "Black Tie Week"

It's Black Tie Week again at Dynamic Duos, and this week we are looking for crafty creations using Black and More Mustard with the option to add "dry embossing".  Here's the challenge:

And here's my card creation:

 I actually had NO idea what I was going to make, but knew that I wanted to continue to use all my new SU stamp sets and goodies from the Occasions catalog.  So after looking at what sets I haven't used in awhile, I decided on the GEOMETRICAL stamp set.  I aslo knew that I had to incorporate some dry embossing, so I decided to make a quilt looking background with the triangle stamps and matching triangle punch for this set. Who knew quilting could be so easy! : D

We have a wedding to attend in early  April, and this is the card I am giving them.  I hope they like it. : )
Here are some of the products used to make this card:
 
   Geometrical Bundle #134942
 
Label Love #130622 and Artisan punch #130920

Little Leaves Sizzlits #114511
  
 Itty Bitty  Shapes punches #118309

  Square Lattice folder #119976

I hope you like my creation using this weeks color challenge, and I look forward to seeing what you create! So head on over to  Dynamic Duos and play along!  But before you go, don't forget to check out the other creations made by the design team:

Dynamic Duos: #93: Subtly Yours....

This week at Dynamic Duos we are using Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride to create a "subtly yours" card creation.  With these soft colors, I immediately thought "wedding card or sympathy card".  I ended up making a sympathy card, but it could easily have been a wedding card as well.  Here's the challenge:

And here's my sympathy card:

 It was a gloomy day the day I photographed this card, could have been a little brighter, but such is life, right?  And below is a close up............

This stamp from the Happy Watercolor Garden stamp set is AWESOME.  So pretty.  And I love, love the watermark stamp that comes with this set. I am sure I will be getting my use of it. : D
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Happy Watercolor Garden and Loving Thoughts
INK: Blushing Bride, Sahara Sand and Versamark
PAPER: Blushing Bride, Sahara Sand (the inside of card) and Sweet Sorbet DSP (FREE SAB)
ACCESSORIES:  White embossing powder, Aqua Painter, Scallop Trim Border punch, Blushing Bride ribbon (retired), Basic Pearls and Paper piercing tool and mat.

Dynamic Duos #91: Triple Threat week!

Dynamic Duos has a Triple Threat for us this week! :) Dynamic Duos dares you to create a project using the colors: Wild Wasabi, Tangerine Tango and Melon Mambo.  Here's the challenge:

And here's my card creation:

You may be able to tell (or not) that I used an image from the Peaceful Petals stamp set for this challenge AGAIN! My point here is that I have now used every image from the Peaceful Petals stamp set to create something. So, I think it is safe to say that I have already gotten my moneys worth from this cute stamp set! Yippee! No guilt over here for adding another stamp set to my collection!  :)

 

I stamped the leaf image 4 times.  Starting first in the center and then masking it with a post it note and then adding the other three leaf images.  I then water colored it with Wild Wasabi ink.  And how about that HOT pink picture frame? I am so loving the On Film Framelits.  So much fun!  It makes an embossed texture onto the picture frame framilt.  It  is very cool.

 

And to make the flowers really pop with these bold colors, I stamped them in Black ink onto Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango card stock and punched them out.

 So now you've seen my creation, why don't you head on over to the Dynamic Duos blog and check out the challenge for your self.  And be sure to stop by and see the other design team members below:
