How About More Sprinkles?

I am anxiously awaiting my new stamps and can't wait to show them off to you soon!!!  In the meantime, how about a few more sprinkles??  I can't say enough good things about this year's Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set.  Stampin' Up! really did a great job with Sprinkles of Life and it's for such a great cause.  I hope that all of my fun cards with cupcakes and ice cream persuade you to buy this set and matching punch to support RMHC!  OK...enough talk, let's look at today's card with lots of sprinkles!

Isn't this fun!!!  Not only do the scoops of ice cream have sprinkles, but this pattern of paper from the Cherry on Top stack kinda looks like them too!  I got the inspiration for this card from the sketch challenge this week at Try Stampin' - or not - on Tuesday.

I varied my card from the design a little.  I flipped the sketch to be upright them pictured the circles as an ice cream cone with three scoops!!  That's what's so fun about using a sketch, you can have fun and be creative!

I stamped the ice cream cone with Tip Top Taupe on Whisper White and added shading with a blender pen and the ink pad.  I fussy cut the cone and added it to the card with three yummy scoops of ice cream.  I punched out each scoop with the Tree Builder punch and added sprinkles with the coordinating color.  I used Early Espresso, Pool Party and Blushing Bride.

I also added an ice cream cone to the envelope, have to match!!  And don't forget about the Watermelon Wonder cherry on top....it makes the ice cream over the top fun! 

Alright, now it's up to you to turn a little inspiration into a gorgeous card.  Why not give this week's sketch a try with me??  Just hop on over to Try Stampin' to get all the details and see more great samples from the Design Team.

Thanks for hanging out with me today and Happy Stamping!

Chalkboard Wishes

The new catalog is just one week away, I hope you've been enjoying all of the samples with upcoming stamp sets!  Today's card features Friendly Wishes, a great new set of bold sentiments.

I used the sketch from Try Stampin' -or not- on Tuesday for my inspiration.

Starting out, I knew I wanted to go with the chalkboard look, so I chose bold colors including black.

This card has a little bit of everything!  Designer paper, washi tape and sequins (of course!)  I love Bermuda Bay with Basic Black so I started there.  The striped paper I picked is from Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Catalog.  It and the chalkboard paper I used are only here for one more week, so get some before they're gone!

The sentiment is Whisper White craft ink on a banner die cut from chalkboard paper.  As I've said before LET. IT. DRY. WELL.  I stamped this first and let is sit while I worked on the rest of the card, then I let it sit some more just to be sure!!

To add in the stripes per the sketch without overwhelming the design, I went with washi tape.  It adds color but the stripes from the designer paper still peek through.  This particular washi tape belongs to the new Cherry on Top Designer Washi Tape set.

Last element, and my favorite is SEQUINS!  I cheated a little and used the retired Frosted Sequins from the Holiday Catalog.  I love the giant silver sequins in this set, they are awesome!  And guess what!  They are actually on the Clearance Rack right now so run and get them if you are a sequin lover like me!!

Alright, now it's up to you to turn a little inspiration into a gorgeous card.  Why not give this week's sketch a try with me??  Just hop on over to Try Stampin' to get all the details and see more great samples from the Design Team.

Painted Thank You

Painted Petals is such a beautiful stamp set, I thought I share a pretty card with it today.  There's a great sketch challenge at Try Stampin' -or not- on Tuesday that was perfect for what I had in mind.

As soon as I saw this sketch, I thought about small flowers in place of the stars.

I just love the colors on this card!!  Crisp Cantaloupe is leaving us soon so I had to use it combined with Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi.  Crumb Cake wood paneling makes a perfect background for this gorgeous trio of colors.

The flowers on the panel are made lighter by stamping off once, makes the Calypso Coral sentiment and flowers stand out all the more.

If you are in need of a soft and pretty thank you card, I hope you are inspired to use Painted Petals!  While you're at it, why not join the challenge with us??  Just go to Try Stampin' for all the details and more great samples from the Design Team.

Thanks for hanging out with me today!  See you next time!

Yee-Haw Take Two!

How about another fun cowboy card today??  The sketch for Try Stampin' on Tuesday was just perfect for another take on the fun set Yee-haw.  But before I get ahead of myself, let's look at the sketch.

Now I know this may not scream Yee-Haw to you, but here's what I saw.  The arrows would turn into barbed wire and the sentiment at the bottom was perfect for the lasso...can you see it with me??

How about I just show you the finished card and see if you love it like I do!

 Is this fun or what?!  I kept with the same colors as the first Yee-Haw card I shared with you.  I love the bold look of Baked Brown Sugar with Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Wild Wasabi and Hello Honey.

The card base has the oh so important barbed wire in place of the arrows and a center panel that acts like a tree with its wood grain embossing.

A bold sentiment and a couple of little extras make this a rootin' tootin' fun card!  Speaking of fun, how about have a little fun stamping with me??  Grabs some supplies and join the challenge this week.  Just go to Try Stampin' on Tuesday for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

See ya next time!  Happy Stamping!!
