Bloomin' Marvelous for Fab Friday

Hey there, stampers! Thanks for stopping by today! It is time once again for a new Fab Friday challenge. We have a pretty color combination that is perfect for springtime! Check it out...

Now, I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of Pink Pirouette. I have hardly ever used it, but I do think it is pretty in this combination and I don't think any of our other pinks would have worked as well. Calypso Coral is a color that had to grow on me, but now that I have used it for almost two years, I really like it and will miss it when it retires with the current catalog. :-( Here is my card using these pretty colors. I hope you like it!

Stampin' Up Supplies:
Stamps: Bloomin' Marvelous
Paper: Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade
Accessories: Big Shot, Fancy Fan EF, Adorning Accents Edgelits, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Bitty Butterfly punch, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Basic Pearls, dimensionals

I hope you can see the Pink Pirouette butterflies on my card. It is such a light shade of pink that my camera had a hard time picking it up. We made a simpler version of this card at a recent class and I just stepped it up a bit for the challenge. The only additions were the Adorning Accents Edgelits and all of the pearls. If you are looking for a way to dress up a card, our pearls are a wonderful and inexpensive way to do just that! I think this would make a great springtime wedding card and this sentiment from the Sale-a-Bration set, Bloomin' Marvelous, is perfect for a wedding.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to swing on over to Fab Friday and play along with us! You have almost two weeks to enter your creation. This challenge closes on March 28th.

Fab Hello

It's Friday and time for a new Fab Friday challenge! Woo hoo! We have a pretty color challenge this time. The colors are all from the Subtles collection and are perfect for a springy card!

My card is inspired by a card that I saw on Pinterest a while back.  (There is a link to the card below in my supply list). I wanted to make a card using some new products from the Spring and Sale-a-Bration catalogs and I thought this fun layout would be perfect.

 

 

Stampin' Up Supplies:

Stamps: Distressed Dots, Pretty Petites (SAB), Papillon Potpourri

Paper: Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White

Ink: Crumb Cake, Perfect Plum, Baja Breeze

Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Curly Label punch, Petite Curly Label punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Paper Piercing Tool, Perfect Plum taffeta ribbon, Bitty Buttons, basic pearls, white baker's twine

Inspired by: this card made by Michelle Le Breton

 

For this being one of my favorite color combos ever (any purple, green, and blue really), I struggled with this card. I just couldn't get all of the elements to come together the way I wanted them to. Does that happen to everyone or just me? It sure can be frustrating, but I am happy with this final product, so I guess it was worth the trouble. :) I'm not 100% sure, but this card might make the cut as one of the designs for my classes coming up later this month.

January Class Cards (Part 3)

Hello again! Here is my final post with my January cards. (I did reserve one card to share at a later date.) This one is a fun birthday card using the Sycamore Street DSP and the Patterned Occasions stamp set (both available for free through Sale-a-Bration) and the Hearts a Flutter framelites. It is a CASE of a card made by Krista Fenton. I try not to CASE much any more, but when I see a card that is as cute as this one, I can't help myself. :)

Sorry for the short post! I hope you enjoyed my class cards! Check back on Friday for the latest Fab Friday challenge. It's a color challenge this time and I picked the colors. :)
