What’s in Your Pocket?

Every other Tuesday is Try Stampin’ on Tuesday day for me!

Our layout this week –

Challenge #323. Optional Theme : Pretty as a Picture

I love the layout but got hung up on the ‘Pretty as a Picture’ theme. I created this without the picture theme –

A brightly designed card using some soon-to-retire Designer Series Paper called, Party Animal!

The cool feature about the front of this card is this nifty pocket that has a pullout! Which still leaves a really nice design –

You can add a gift card –

Yes, Christmas was the only one I could find for demonstrator purposes!

See how nicely it fits into the front panel?

I love how this turned out! The colors are great. The patterns are wonderful. It’s a unique take on the design we were challenged with!

Want to see how the other designers used this sketch? Check them out on our blog or on our Facebook page as well. You can also link up a card using either place!

Happy Stampin’

Coffee, Tea…or Me?

Lol, I’m sure some of you might know that tagline!!!! It was from an airline in the 1960’s.

This week at Watercooler Wednesday, we have another Simply Stampin’ challenge –

This one is from Heidi and you have to feature coffee or tea.

It was way more difficult than I thought because you are limited to one layer with no additional die cuts, embelishments or anything. Just stamping.

So. I thought about it.

And thought about it.

After reading the theme numerous times, it hit me what I should create.

This –

Adorbs, right?

It really is only one layer with stamping.

Nothing else. At all.

What person wouldn’t love to receive this as a little ‘love’ note?????

I’d love to read what you think about this throwback card!

Now that I got you to thinking about this sketch, create something and join us Watercooler Challenges.

Supplies –

Stamp Set – Writing Notes, Layered Letters Alphabet, Timeless Textures, Designer Tin of Cards (tiny heart trio)
Card Stock – Whisper White
Ink – Soft Sky Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede

Happy Stampin’

Wednesday. You know what that means. It’s time for a Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.

This one is from Jean and very appropriate –

It’s a color challenge! Not just any colors – the NEW In-Colors!

I had fun coming up with this –

I think this is a loose interpretation of the Bargello technique.

Mine uses very wide strips of the 2016-2018 In-Color Envelope Paper.

I was such a big fan of the last In-Color Envelope Paper (its since retired). I used it quite a bit instead of the DSP. It’s also a bit less expensive. This time I love both patterns. The other os a bubbly dot pattern of sorts.

Since there was very little of the Sweet Sugarplum used here, that became my background border color and what I used for the cool new scalloped circle around the focal point.

Such a fun way to show off these new colors and new products!

Supplies used –

Stamps – Designer Tin of cards
DSP – 2016-2018 In-Color Envelope Paper
Dies – Layering Circles Framelits
Card Stock – Very Vanilla, Sweet Sugarplum
Ink – Early Espresso

I’d love to read what you think! It’s good ‘card-carma’!

Then, head over to Watercooler Wednesday to get some more inspiration from the other team creations. Some nice projects!

Happy Stampin’
