Perfect Pansies for Summer's Last Hoorah!

Summer's last hoorah!  That's today's Try Stampin' on Tuesday's theme that goes along with their sketch challenge.  One of the things I think of when I'm thinking about summer is all the flowers that I get to enjoy.  My pansies tend to last quite a while after the other flowers have frozen and died because they do like cooler temperatures.  That's why I picked them to put on my card.  Earlier this month I posted a card that had pansies made the same way as I made these.  I love the new pansy punch, but wanted my flowers to have a little dimension like the real flowers do so I cut the petals out and did some sponging to come up with these flowers. 



I thought I'd do a little extra on the inside this time too. :)  Don't forget to see what the other designers made over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Creative Crew - CCREW0913DF

I'm so excited that I was asked to be a part of the Creative Crew over on Splitcoast for the September-December challenges.  Today I'll have a handful of posts for you to check out all of the projects I made for the month of September.  

My first challenge was DSP/Color Focus: Our journey of self improvement begins with Eastern Elegance designer papers or the colors crushed curry, coastal cabana, smoky slate and whisper white.  Make a project using these colors for someone you admire. Tell us why this person is significant to you.  

Since I didn't have the DSP I just went with the colors.  I had just recently bought the pansy punch and wanted to use it, but I wanted my flower to have layers like the real pansies. :)  I decided to cut the punched flower into pieces and reassemble them.  Since I admire my mom for so many reasons and for giving me my love of flowers I made this card in honor of her. :)



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Pretty Pansy

Wow, it seems like all of my cards are really bright lately!  I guess I've been enjoying this spring weather too much.  Ok, I toned down the pink a little bit and added some yellow in to make a cute little pansy.  I figured it's been a while since I had made one, so it was time for another. :)  Anyway, this card was for my niece's birthday this past week and I used the Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge for my design.

Happy Mother's Day

Today's card is a sneak peek into one of the five cards I'll be doing for my first stamp a stack next week.  Although I'd like to say I came up with this one all by myself, I can't.  As I was browsing through Stampin' Connection I came across this card made by Carolyn Beam.  I liked it so much that I decided to use it as one of my cards in the stamp a stack.  If you're a part of Stampin' Connection you can view her card here.


Pictures never seem to do the cards justice, but here's a close up of the 
flower so you can see the shimmer paint a little better.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Card Stock:  Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Very Vanilla
Classic Stampin' Pads:  Rich Razzleberry and So Saffron
Stampin' Write Marker:  Perfect Plum 
(because I don't have the new colors yet!)
Big Shot Embossing Folder:  Vintage Wall paper
Punches:  Butterfly & Two-Step Bird
Ribbon:  5/8" Grosgrain in Rich Razzleberry
Shimmer Paint:  Champagne Mist
Jewel:  Basic Rhinestones

I colored the pansy using sponges (on Very Vanilla). I don't have many re-inkers so I had to come up with another way to do it.  I started with So Saffron ink in the middle of the butterfly, and sponged outward toward the edges.  I dragged it on the card stock...no dabbing or it won't give you the right effect.  Then I went around the very edges with Rich Razzleberry.  After I went all around the edge, I carefully went in a little farther, but always stroking outward.  I sponged over it again with So Saffron to blend the colors in a little better where they meet.  Hope that makes sense to anyone who wants to give it a try.

Butterfly Pansy Cards

 I came up with these cards when I saw a few samples of pansy cards and needed a birthday card for a friend at work.  I really enjoyed making these cards and used the idea for my 3x3 card exchange that I posted earlier.

3x3 Card Swap


Here are two cards I did in a 3X3 card swap.  The first one is made with Elegant Eggplant, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla and Garden Green cardstock.  I used the Butterfly Extra-Large punch to make the pansy.  I sponged on Elegant Eggplant, then Marina Mist.  The second card was done with Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and Marina Mist cardstock.
