Golden Honey DSP

Ornate Thanks

March 18, 2020 · 2 Comments

Happy Wednesday!

I just received the Ornate Garden Suite of products that will be in the new catalog in June. However, for the month of April, you can get the products early!

I was inspired to play with some of these products. I combined old and new and a layout challenge from TGIF Challenges –

Here is how I combined them –

B E A U T I F L !!!!!!

This card was quite simple as well! I die cut the border of flowers along a strip of Basic Black. That panel was adhered to a Daffodil Card Base, adding the Designer Series Paper and then the sentiment. Done.

***Edited on March 22, 2020. A few days after posting this card, I got this –

THANKS TGIF!!! I am soo honored!

Welcome Easter

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme :

This is an adorable challenge for the next two weeks!!!

I used the layout and from the picture I used the colors. I went an adorable Easter card –

Right?? See what I mean?

I started with a base that has a slight white and black pattern. It is from the Sale-a-bration* option, Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.

Next, I figured out my strip size for the card and cut them from the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper.

I pulled out the Welcome Easter stamp set and stamped the three animals and the sentiment twice. I punched them all out using the 1 3/8″ Circle punch. I placed them on the card for a test and decided they could use a bit of coloring. Blends to the rescue!

Simple adorable, fun Easter card!

Golden Painted Poppies Birthday

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Letters / Numbers

So I missed the optional theme and the flagged banner. Ooooppps.

It is still a lovely card within the sketch guidelines! It happens sometimes.

I started with a base of Pool Party. I added a couple of papers from the Golden Honey Designer Series Collection (free during *Sale-a-bration). The banner in the center was die cut using one of the Stitched Nested Labels.

I stamped the two flowers and colored them with Pool Party Blends. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut them and the decorative piece at the top out.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips. It was just the perfect size!

This is a very pretty birthday card and I can not wait to send it out!

Blogging Friends Blog Hop Sale-a-Bration

Happy Friday!

I have two wonderful Sale-a-Bration themed cards I designed for our monthly blog hop!

I had a hard time deciding just what to get for my Sale-a-Bration choices recently. I’m sharing two of my favorites –

One, is the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper. This particular pattern is white with diagonal gold foil dotted lines. I cut it into small strips and used my Light and dark Blends to color each piece creating candles!

Pretty clever, huh? Any guesses as to what the ‘flames’ are? (It is listed in the supply list below.)

I placed them on one of my favorite die sets, Stitched So Sweetly. I use them all the time.

Behind, is an embossed piece in Eyelet Lace. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set.

It is a beautifully stunning card suitable for anyone of any age too!

My second favorite from the Sale-a-Bration offerings this year is this Kerchief Card Kit.

Normally, I would use bits and pieces of the kit and create my own design. Well, here I used the kit pretty much to the way it was supposed to be created.

The exception is the this dotted background behind the sentiment. It is actually the inside of the included coordinating envelopes!

Other than that addition and making it landscape (instead of portrait), it is good just like it is!

So, so far, two of my favorites from the offerings this year!

What are your favorites?

Check out the others on the hop to see what they chose. We just might enable you to purchase something else to get the free items, lol!

I ‘bee’lieve it still works, lol!

Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe – February Challange

February 1, 2020 · 7 Comments

Welcome to our monthly Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog!

Here is our latest monthly challenge grid –

I have two rows from the board : Love, Embossing, Dies Cuts and Love, Oval, Floral –

This is a rather bright card for me! I love it!

I used the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folder in Melon Mambo for the oval. The cake is from the Happy Birthday to You Sale-a-Bration stamp set colored with Stampin’ Blends. I used the Birthday Dies to cut the cake and flowers out.

The sentiment is from the Word Wishes Dies, simply done to stand out against all the brightness!

All this is placed on a piece of striped Sale-a-Bration Golden Honey Designer Series paper.

Please check out the other Design Team cards here. We all use a variety of products so you’re in for a real treat!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest layout challenge –

I really like this Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper, Golden Honey. It is my favorite offering so far.

What is really extra special is the Honey Bee bundle, Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bees Dies, coordinate perfectly with this paper!

I used the dies to cut the bees and the flowers on the card! The only thing stamped is the sentiment. It is also from the bundle!

Very cool and oh, so easy!!!

A Golden Thank You

January 7, 2020 · 1 Comment

Happy Tuesday Try Stampin’ on Tuesday

Welcome to our first challenge of 2020!

Optional Theme : Thank you

Perfect sketch to play with this Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper, Golden Honey.

Sale-a-Bration is a once a year Stampin’ Up! bonus. For every $50 (USD) purchase (before tax and shipping) in merchandise you choose a free Sale-a-Bration item of your choice.

I made a thank you card –

Just lovely, right??

I took one of the Gold Foil-Edged Cards and cut apart. I added the foil edge to a Whisper White base. I then added a larger piece of Designer Series Paper. The striped paper is also from the same pack, it is actually the back of this main paper! I used one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut it out.

As you can see, there is no stamping on this card! The Real Red Sentiment comes from the Well Written Dies –

Simply done!
