363- Bird Birthday Card

These colour challenges are fantastic because they always push you outside of your comfort zone (CC262). I rarely use Orchid Opulesce and never really think about it. In the end I love the finished product- it came together nicely in the layout challenge this week (SC272).

To make the glittery brads you cover the top of the brad with a glue dot. Then you dip it in the glitter- I love the finished effect!

Recipe:

Stamps: Cheep Talk, Short and Sweet

Paper: Orchid opulesce, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Walk in the Park DSP, Whisper White

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Orchid Opulesce

Accessories: 1 3/4" punch, fine glitter, word window punch, coluzzle, mat pack, silver brads, glue dots, modern label punch, dazzling diamonds

361- Bouncing Brayer Easel Card

I made this birthday card for a coworker. She always wants cards that are shiny and bright. So I used bold bright colours, glossy paper and dazzling diamonds. I hope she likes it!

I decided to use techniques on this card- bouncing brayer and the fold was an easel card. I made the card bigger than normal- it is a 5 1/2" square card.

Recipe:

Stamps: short and sweet, it's your birthday, eastern blooms

Paper: Melon Mambo, Yoyo yellow, glossy white, whisper white

Ink: Melon Mambo, yoyo yellow, only orange, pink passion, orchid opulence, lovely lilac, tempting turquoise

Accessories: 1/2" melon mambo grosgrain ribbon, ticket corner punch, petals a plenty embossing folder, big shot, scallop oval punch, small and large oval punches, dazzling diamonds, sticky strip

272- Downline Meeting Card Challenge

I'm back! I know it has been awhile since I have posted regularly- unfortunately I was pretty busy with work and then I went on vacation. But I'm back and have some great cards to post and am looking forward to stamping regularly- I missed it!


Today I hosted a downline meeting for 5 members of my team and we had a great time. I gave them a little challenge and the results were great. I cut all of the pieces of a card and gave them two stamp sets- True Friend for images and Short and Sweet for a sentiment. They could only use the pieces that I had cut and some tools that I put on the table. No other embellishments were allowed. Here is what they came up with- how cute are they?!

Recipe:


Stamp Sets: True Friend, Short and Sweet


Paper: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, whisper white


Ink: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry

Accessories: Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, ticket corner punch, corner rounder punch, eyelet border punch, scallop edge punch, markers
