#TGIFC588: 'Tis the Season

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is an inspiration challenge, and I've used elements from the layout to create my card this week.

 

I loved the stripes in the background, and wanted to recreate that look with strips of the Shimmering Stripes paper. It's so sparkly and pretty in real life. A photo does not do it justice!

 

I used the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle for the focal image. I've been having so much fun playing with this bundle this week!

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card:

Stamps: Pretty Poinsettia

Ink: Peaceful Pine, Real Red

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Real Red, Peaceful Pine, Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper, Silver Foil

Embellishments: Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Real Red 1/4" Stitched Ribbon

Tools: 2 3/8" Circle Punch, Pretty Poinsettia Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Happy Stamping!

The Stamping Station: CASE the Catalog

 

Hello, and welcome to this month's hop from The Stamping Station! Our theme this month is CASE the Catalog.

I chose one of my favorite card layouts from the catalog (you can see it on the left in the second photo). If it looks familiar, it's because I've used this layout several times recently!

 

 

 

I switched out the bundle featured in the catalog, and used the Splash & Relax Bundle instead, along with some of my favorite colors from the Brights Collection. You'll see two DSPs featured on my card - the wave pattern is from the Waterside Retreat DSP, and the striped pattern in the background is from the Brights Painted Patterns DSP. Don't they pair together nicely?!

 

 

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card:

Stamps: Splash & Relax

Ink: Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Melon Mambo

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Azure Afternoon, Basic Black, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Brights Painted Patterns DSP, Waterside Retreat DSP, Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper

Embellishments: Shimmering Dots

Tools: Scalloped Blooms Dies, Splash & Relax Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Multipurpose Liquid Glue 

Make sure to follow along and see what the rest of the team has created this month!

Happy Stamping!
