Fun & Fast Notes

This week's 'Ways to Use it' #133 challenge was to find ways to use food. Being a SU! Demonstrator, of course I want to try to use only current SU! product. Well I must be food challenged when it comes to my current stamp collection, I had a hard time finding anything food related. I am more of a flower kind of gal according to my stamps! Well as you can see, I did come up with this Birthday Cake from 'Fast & Fun Notes'.

A Basic Challenge

Basic Gray that is! This week's Way's to Use it Challenge #132 was to use the color Basic Gray. This is my card for that challenge.

I stamped the Paisley background stamp onto the cardstock with basic gray ink. I really like the elegant look that it gives. This is the first time that I had used my basic gray cardstock, I think I will be using it more often, it really is a pretty color of gray.

I really LOVED the color challenge over at SCS this week, so I just had to make another card using the same combination for this week's ways to use it challenge #130. This week's challenge was to make a pocket card, I hadn't made a pocket card for awhile so it was really fun the make another one. I will have to admit that I was kind of lazy today and used the Oh, So Lovely set again, but I do have another idea for another pocket card that I hope to get to later this evening!

Did you say yo yo yellow?

This week's 'Ways to Use it Challenge' was to use yo yo yellow. I can't remember the last time I used yo yo yellow, even as an accent color! This challenge took me a little longer than normal, just because I couldn't decide on stamps & color combo.

I chose 'Sassy Stems' as my stamp set. I hadn't used my watercolor crayons for awhile so I pulled them out of the drawer. I colored my flowers yo yo yellow with a little more mustard to accent the centers.

After I finished watercoloring I mounted the image on Yo Yo Yellow CS. What goes with yo yo yellow? Good question, I decided that my favorite color Cool Caribbean does. I cuttlebugged Cool Caribbean and added yellow polka dot ribbon to finish it.

Supplies Used: Stamps~ Sassy Stems.

Paper~ Cool Caribbean, Yo Yo Yellow, Whisper White.

Ink~ Basic Black

Accessories~ Black Brads, Watercolor Crayons, Aqua Painter, yellow polka dot ribbon.

Ways to Use it Challenge

This is my card for Thursday's Ways to use it Challenge #113. The challenge was to use SMALL STAMPS no larger than 1.5". We were allowed to pair it up with larger stamps and any accessories that we wanted. My main image is a tad larger than 1.5" but I think it is close enough to be classified as a small stamp.
