One Day Mini Retreat - Project 3 - Crisp Cantaloupe Birthday card

This is the third project we made at my recent One Day Mini Retreat ....

Another project from the online Creative Convention I took.I changed the stamp images and the layout of the pearls, but the basic card is the same.  I had not used the Paper Doilies (page 156 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue #129399 - $3.99 for 24 doilies) much.  These projects certainly highlighted them, and they are very inexpensive to use!  Here is a picture of them, just click on it to go to my online store ....

 

  Stamps:  Everything Eleanor, Create A Cupcake
  Ink:  Smoky Slate, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral
  Paper:  Crisp Cantaloupe, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP (SAB_R)
  Other:  Paper Doilies, Apothecary Arts Die, Sponges, Basic Pearls, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Crisp Cantaloupe Ruffled Stretch Ribbon

Have you used the doilies at all yet?  At only 16 cents each, they are an inexpensive way to add a little somethin' somethin' to your card or 3D project.

Happy Stampin' .....  

Modern Medley DSP Card - Convention Swap Card

This was another card I received as a Convention Swap in July at the Stampin' Up! Annual Convention in Salt Lake City.  This one was produced by my friend Barb Tripps of Comox, BC.  She does not have a blog, but I think she should as she is very talented and only her stampin' friends get to see her work ...

Bar used Everything Eleanor stamp set by Stampin' Up! along with the Modern Medley DSP.  The Fancy Fan Embossing Folder provides even more texture, as if you need it on this card.  But, oh my, it's awesome ...

Stamps:  Everything Eleanor
Ink:  StazOn (or Basic Black)
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Modern Medley DSP
Other:  Fancy Fan EF, Labels Dies (#2 and #3 counted from the smallest one), Basic Rhinestones

This card was one of the two cards we made to go in the Modern Medley Folded Box I showed you in my last post.  These two, plus the card I will share next post, were the projects we made in my 3D Class in September.

Happy Stampin' ...  

Everything Eleanor and Clay Flowers

The Everything Eleanor stamp set is one of my favourites, it is so versatile .....

Here is used the swirly stamp to make a "branch" for the Simply Pressed Clay flowers.  I coloured the clay with some Crisp Cantaloupe ink before I made the flowers.  It leaves the flowers quite subtle, so then I just thumped the Calypso Coral marker on the top of the flowers to add some colour variation.

   Stamps:  Everything Eleanor, Create A Cupcake
   Ink: Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral Marker
   Paper:  Whisper White, Basic Gray, Pistachio Pudding
   Other:  Fancy Fan and Argyle Embossing Folders, Simply Pressed Clay and Flower Mold, Word Window Punch

Have you tried the Simply Pressed Clay and the molds that go with it?  They are so simple and easy to use.  You will never have to worry about running out of an embellishment when you use the clay and molds, cuz all you have to do is make more!

Happy Stampin ......
