You're a Star

I spent most of the day today upgrading my cell phone Urrrgh! Quite stressful and I made an error with what I wanted so I had to go back to the store, return my phone and then buy it back in order to fix my plan!

That took about 4 hours!  I lost a lot of my craft time today, but I managed to do a quick card with the new Confetti Stars Punch.

Be the Star You Are - Bokeh

The Friday Mashup this week taught me a new technique!  Check it out:

Bokeh at the Friday Mashup


It is always fun to learn a new technique.  This is my first attempt.  I plan to do more of this technique and become more proficient.

 I used Night of Navy and Elegant Eggplant inks on Watercolor Paper.  Try this technique, it is fun and it makes you feel "artsy"!  Instead of all circles, I also used tiny stars.

Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?

This week's The Paper Players challenge involves Buttons.


Here is my card and what I did:


I used Kraft card stock and Soft Suede ink.

I stamped the image from Everything Eleanor.

I sponged nearly everything.

PPA 211 Color Challenge

This week we have a color challenge at Pals Paper Arts.  Follow the link to play.  Here are the colors for this challenge:



I used the Large Polka Dot embossing folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White and Daffodil Delight and then joined them for my background layer.  The flowers are a favorite of mine from the Flower Shop stamp set, punched with the Pansy Punch.

I hope you will consider playing along this week.  As I demonstrated on my blog earlier this week, you can create beautiful designs using minimal supplies; you can even use scraps!

Happy Stamping!

Perfect Peacock Week

I have been stamping peacocks all week.  On Saturday I colored the peacock with Blendabilities, yesterday I stamped in Blackberry Bliss and today I embossed in black and white.

I also wanted to get that "peacock" color in, so I colored these pearls with Coastal Cabana.

Here are my peacock cards from earlier in the week:

You Did It!

Here is a card for this week's Paper Players's Sketch Challenge.
Here is the link: The Paper Players

Here is the sketch:



This is a really neat sketch, so why do you give it a whirl?  If you are new to card making, let me tell you a little bit about how I came to create my card.  And remember, the sketch is just a starting point; a suggestion.

First I decide what colors I am going to use, according to my current stash and what I feel like working with.  I am not a "color" person so I usually go monochromatic.  However, today I decided to use two colors; Pistachio Pudding and Lost Lagoon.  That was dictated when I chose the DSP from the All Abloom paper stack.  The color combination was chosen for me.  That made the rest easy.

I continued with the two colors, a shape, a sentiment and a little bit of bling.  Presto, here's my card:


And that's all there is to it!  All products Stampin' Up! (listed below)  

Happy Stamping!
