Stamp Off Color Challenge with SAB Paper

Happy Stamp Off Challenge day.

Buffy, Susan and I have a good one for you! 

 

This is a beautiful color challenge.  The only difficulty

is the fact that the Night of Navy color looks

black on a computer screen.  Sadly, cards often look

very different (better) in person.  Part of the issue

may be that I do not have a special set-up for

picture taking.  That involves a light box,

which takes up space!

 

 I took the easy way out on this one!  I used the

FREE Sale-A-Bration Carried Away DSP pack on page 7.

This pack incorporates all of the colors for this challenge.

My sentiment comes from the Balloon Adventures

set on page 5 of the Occasions Catalog.  I used markers

to color the birthday message, which was then cut out

with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and then layered

on to a Tip Top Taupe Layering Circles Framelits scallop.

I love the opportunity to layer stitched and scalloped

elements.  The bow comes from the Pretty Pines

Thinlits Dies, which currently has carried over from

the Holiday catalog.

It's time to click on over to see what Buffy and

Susan have created for this challenge.  I know that

you will thoroughly enjoy their creativity!!

 

 

 

Open Me Already Balloon Adventures

I use the Balloon Adventures set, with coordinating

Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies a lot (p 5 of the 

Occasions catalog)!  It makes for quick cards for

men, women and kids.  

In this example, I used the die designed for the

inside of cards, and positioned portions on the 

card front.  I layered balloon designs over top.

The box was run through the Hexagons Dynamic

Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on page 47.

I used the Banner Triple Punch on page 186

to create the banner end.   Quick, easy production

of a card for birthdays or special events! 

Stylish Stems Sympathy

The Stylish Stamps Framelits Dies on page 42 of the

Occasions catalog are a brilliant set, that enable both

positive and negative images.  It is a joy to employ different

color combinations and DSP to see what you

can come up with!

The sentiment comes from the Flourishing Phrases

set on page 49 of the annual catalog.  The DSP

layer can be found on page 174, in the In-Color

Designer Series Paper Stack.
