Watercooler Wednesday #112, Anything Goes

March 29, 2017 · 4 Comments

Happy Wednesday!

Having a creative morning so far? Well, Watercooler Wednesday has a new challenge that might spark your creativity!

As you can see, we have an ‘Anything Goes’ challenge! Which means, whatever you’re working on right now – you can enter it in our challenge! How fun is that?

I created something specifically for the challenge here –

As Sale-a-bration is winding down, a few more ink ups on this wonderful Avant Garden stamp set, and this lovely, versatile Carried Away Designer Series paper, DSP.

My flowers I inked up once and stamped three times to get this lovely look. And, yes, I hand cut them out.

Greeting is stamped full strength. I tied everything up with the Basic Black Baker’s Twine. This time on the right side to be a little different. Very serene, but elegant.

Someone decided I wasn’t paying enough attention to them! She decided to join the photoshoot! Who doesn’t just love kitty paws!?!?!?!? And, look at that tail – so precarious!

Comments are always welcomed!

Please see what our other Design Team members created. Participate in our challenge – this is an easy one to join in on!

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Avant Garden
Framelits – Stitched Shapes Framelits
Card Stock – Whisper White
Ink – Tuxedo Black Memento
DSP – Carried Away
Other – Basic Black Baker’s Twine

Happy Stampin’

CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Farewell to Sale-a-Bration

March 18, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Time for a nice Saturday blog hop for Create with Connie and Mary!

This week our theme is Sale-a-Bration. You know, make a $50 Stampin’ Up purchase (before shipping and tax) choose a free item from a special selection of made-for-Sale-a-Bration only items. So, this can mean any number of products to show you!

I chose three to show you in one card!

The card base has a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Inside the Lines DSP adhered to it. I layered it with a Avant Garden stamped panel, finishing it off with a piece of 3/8 Metallic Ribbon in silver.

I thought the black and white made for a dramatic, stunning card.

I did have a friend in mind when I chose this sentiment from the Avant Garden stamp set. She has lots of health issues, but takes each doctor visit, medical procedure or debilitating day with a load of humor! She keeps everyone in lots laughter as she is in grave pain!

Our theme this week is Farewell to Sale-a-Bration.

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Avant Garden
Card Stock – Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Tuxedo Black Memento
DSP – Inside the Lines DSP
Other – 3/8 Metallic Ribbon
