#TGIFC433: Thanks So Much

It's time for a sketch challenge at TGIF Challenges this week!

 

I paired two stamp sets and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper for this one. What do you think?

 

The flowers are from the Just My Type stamp set, and are stamped directly onto the DSP. The sentiment is from the Kindest Expressions stamp set. I've decided these two work really well together!

 

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

Stamps: Just My Type, Kindest Expressions

Ink: Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel

Paper: Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Bright & Beautiful DSP, Soft Shimmer Paper

Embellishments: Tinsel Gems Four Pack, Ribbon Duo Combo Pack

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

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC420: Sending You a Big Squeeze

I love a good sketch challenge, and that's what they've got at TGIF Challenges this week. Check it out:

 

I've been itching to use the Sweet Citrus Bundle, and I paired it with a few new colors - Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly. I am LOVING these colors!

 

I've also used the new White Center Specialty Paper. If you tear it, you can see the white center of the paper. I also embossed it for a lot of added texture.

 

That Designer Series Paper in the background comes from the Bright & Beautiful DSP stack. It's my favorite new paper!

 

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

Stamps: Sweet Citrus

Ink: Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly

Creation Station: Dots & Spots

 

Hello, and welcome to this month's Creation Station Design Team blog hop! Our theme this month is Dots & Spots. 

 

I suggested this theme because I love polka dots, and I can't wait to see what everyone has created this month. For the "spot" part of the theme, I was thinking animal spots, so I've incorporated both dots and spots into my card.

 

For the dots in my background, I used the Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. 

 

Here's a fun tip: that Gold Celebrations paper can be flipped over, and it's silver on the other side! 

 

For my spots, I used the Zany Zoo Bundle. This is one of my favorite bundles in the new catalog - it's so playful and fun!

 

I really enjoyed pulling out a lot of new products for this card. Here is a list of all the products I used:

Stamps: Zany Zoo

Ink: Memento Black, Berry Burst

Stampin' Blends Markers: Light & Dark Lemon Lolly, Light & Dark Bubble Bath, Light Berry Burst, Light Basic Black

Paper: Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Basic White, Gold Celebrations Specialty Designer Series Paper, Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Tinsel Gems Four-Pack, 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack

Tools: Zany Zoo Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Nested Essentials Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

Make sure you hop along and check out what the rest of the team has created this month! Next up is the lovely Mikaela Titheridge.

 

 

Happy Stamping!
