Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Hip Hip Hooray!
Hi
Hip Hip Hooray! I finally played in a Dynamic Duos challenge again!!!
The colours this week are Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise.....great for a card for a tween girl!
I visited Mojo Monday this week for a sketch idea and they were doing 'Tall & Skinny' with cool vertical banners.
I used the very funky "Hip Hip Hooray" sentiment from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit - the great thing about these kits is that once you have made all the cards, you still have the stamps to continue playing with and they are very on-trend and versatile.
My embellishment areas of the sketch were decorated with stars....the small star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack and the Star Framelit from the Circle Card Thinlits Die.
I matted my Designer Series Paper to give it a finished look and then just layered my sentiment panel on dimensionals.
There's so much 'trend' going on here - chevrons, banners, stars, subway-art-sentiments! I know it will make a little girl very happy!
I am linking this up to the Seize the Birthday challenge this week...the "toppings" are buttons & rhinestones...or anything blingy...so I hope my glittery stars fit the bill. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! See Ya Later - Cat in the Hat card
Hi
It isn't every day that some asks for a 'Cat in the Hat' wedding card.....but when they do, it is great to be challenged and think about what would work on such a card.
Fortunately I have hoarded tonnes of 'Big Top Birthday' DSP so I had the red stripes and turquoise to work with.
The couple in question are having a 'Cat in the Hat' wedding and therefore aren't traditional people and I know the bride and she is pretty alternative and cool.....
Rather than go with a strict reference to the book, I used the colour scheme to inspire me and threw in the black 'drawn' flower stamp from Hearts A Flutter to echo the illustrations in the book. I used black for matting to enhance the cartoon-like feel.
The Essentials Wooden Embellishments seem to work with all my experimentation, and they create a trendy feel so I left them on there. I used some Delicate Details Lace Tape for a touch of elegance among the "zany".
I also stamped my envelope with some hearts.
I used this week's sketch from Deconstructed Sketches to help me balance a busy card.
As I said before, the Big Top Birthday DSP is retired, but everything stays current in My Digital Studio, so you can download it here and print out the pages that you need. EASY!
Since this card has about 12 layers (a new record for me I think!), I have linked it to the Just Add Ink challenge this week which is Just Add Layers! :)
Hope you like my card (...and I hope the bride likes it too!).
Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #33 - Stampin' Up! Clockworks
Marina Mist Card #1
Hello
Yes. I made a new card! True.
I haven't played with a card challenge in a while and the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch this week really inspired me. I loved the splatters and the 3D banner idea.
I have been wanting to get Clockworks out again and use it for a masculine card. I guess this is more of a teenage boy card, but it is actually for my brother-in-law who is in his forties....and I think it still works for a bloke.
My Color Coach colours are Marina Mist, Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze which are masculine colours and they channeled a bit of a surf culture vibe which I guess is where the Clockworks stamp set comes in.
Hope you like my card....
