Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Sassy Salutations Birthday Card

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

Isn't this a cool sketch? The possibilities are endless and the best bit is....you get to use up those skinny scraps!!!

I used strips of Cucumber Crush, Real Red and Crushed Curry and stamped a greeting from Sassy Salutations onto Whisper White card stock. I then cut this with an Oval Framelit in the Big Shot.

Here is our cool sketch...

The colours came from the inspiring colour palette at The Paper Players this week. :)

Stampin' Up! - Thank You card

Hi

Welcome to this week's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge.

To create my card, I punched circles out of the Cherry on Top DSP, focusing on the different dotty colours in the patterned paper. I arranged these similar to the sketch. 

I finished it off with a banner, a wooden greeting and some sequins. 

 Here is our sketch for this week...

I was also inspired by the 'Tic Tac Toe' challenge at The Paper Players this week. My card uses the recipe elements from the top line...Watermelon Wonder, Circles and sequins!

Card recipe

Stamp - none!

Cardstock - Whisper White Thick cardstock, Whisper White CS,

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #120 - Schoolhouse DSP

Basic Gray #2

#ColorCoachJourney 

Hi

Welcome to another Artful Stampers blog hop! This is a color coach card that uses Basic Gray, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. I know that the Color Coach has now retired, but I'm going to see out my Color Coach journey as it has been a lot of fun and I figure the combos could still inspire anyone who visits me for color coach ideas. :)

I used some brand new DSP on this card...it's called Schoolhouse and it has great patterns for kids and masculine cards. I particularly liked the numeric font on this paper and thought it went well with a robot for a card for someone who liked maths and robotics. :)

Here is the sketch for this week...my 'flower' is the starburst and robot image...yes, it was a bit bigger than the sketch proportions but I just HAD to use the robot on this card. :)

I was also inspired to make a masculine card by The Paper Players challenge this week.

Edited 14th June 2015 - This little card was Shannon's 'Cut Above' over at The Paper Players. I am so chuffed! :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - A Happy Thing - Sale-A-Bration - CASE-ing the Catty #20

Hi

Welcome to this week's CASE-ing the Catty!

 

Today the challenge is all about CASE-ing from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue and to use Blendabilities and Framelits. 

CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything.  This whole challenge blog is about using the current Stampin' Up! Catalogues to help you create.  Sometimes crafters need a springboard to just get started and the catalogues are certainly a demonstrator or customer's best resource.

So check out the Blendabilities and Framelits in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue and find a project that you would like to try.  

There are lots of ideas but here's a few to help you get started -

• CASE a sketch or layout
• Try a colour combo 
• CASE an embellishment and use it on your own project

Most importantly, have FUN!

Guidelines -

• Create a new project for the current challenge.
• Mention CTC Challenges in your blog post and link back here so others can join in on the fun.  Please ensure that you link up your blog post, not your whole blog.
• Mostly SUO (Stampin' Up! ® Only) products (retired or current) to be used in your projects for CTC Challenges.
• Have fun and inspire others!

I was inspired by the image from page 18 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, and also by the sketch at The Paper Players. Less is More also have the theme of 'Wings' this week so that was a good reason to use the beautiful bird from A Happy Thing.

My bird is actually an Eastern Yellow Robin which is a bird indigenous to Australia along the eastern coast where I live. Isn't he delightful!!?

My original inspiration:

I hope you like my card. If you have been inspired by it and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store.
