Still AddInktive.....Ears to You

Hello Peeps!!

Today over at Still AddINKtive we are spotlighting Easter, actually the challenge is to use any current Stampin Up Easter set. I am not sure this single stamp is just for Easter, after all the sentiment is kinda a "Congratulations" , but I love these little bunnies and I am using it as an Easter card anyway.

The base of the card is white card stock and then a layer of Primrose Petals and then a layer of embosses white. I used the perfect dots EF to emboss the center of the white piece  I wasn't really concerned that it didn't get all of the white as I knew I was going to add some DSP.

The DSP I used is from Patio Party paper pack. I added some Primrose ribbon across the  top and bottom of the two pieces of DSP and then made a bow and added it to the top. 

The foliage in the BG is from the Just Believe stamp set and is stamped with Lucky Limeade ink. I stamped the bunnies in each of the three colors, Baja Blue, Summer Starfruit and Primrose Petals and then cut out and added it to the oval with dimensionals. I used some basic pearls for little eyes on my bunnies and for decoration on the foliage and the corners of the card.

Sadly this is my last card for the Still AddInktive Design team as my time with the design team has come to an end. 

Be sure and head over to the BLOG to play in our last challenge and to give all the girls some love.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Still AddINKtive......Blowing Wishes Your Way

Hello Peeps!!

Time for another new challenge at Still AddINKtive Challenges!

This week it is a sketch and color combo.

You can do either the sketch or the color challenge or both, it is up to you!

As you may notice I messed up the color challenge a bit. I looked at the sketch and colors and then went off to make my card, and somewhere along the way I got it in my head that one of the colors was primrose petals instead of the raspberry ripple. I didn't notice that I had used the wrong color til I was loading my card up to the design team blog. 

In my defense, I have been very tired and stressed lately and I am running behind on everything, which doesn't make for good crafting time. 

I tried to keep my card fairly simple, as I didn't have alot of time to work with it. I knew I wanted to use my fun pinwheel sizzlit die and make a birthday card.

The DSP on here and the pinwheel are from retired packs.

I used the Cloudy Day EF, which I love and it is so cute! A couple of other new items you may notice are the Needlepoint Border EF and the Delicate Details Lace Tape.

The sentiment is from the Wishes Your Way stamp set that goes along with the Pinwheel sizzlit die.

Be sure and hop on over to the Still AddINKtive Challenge BLOG to see what the rest of the team made with this challenge, you will be blown away!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Still AddINKtive #4....Sympathy and Prayers

Hello Peeps!!

Time for another new challenge at Still AddINKtive Challenges!

This week it is a fun sketch and color challenge, you can make your card or project using just the sketch or just the colors or use both!!

The challenge this week on The Paper Players is to make a Sympathy card, so I decided to incorporate that into my card.

 I used the Secret Garden set along with the matching framelit dies to make my card. I stamped the flower with versamark and emboss with white embossing powder. I did this several times so I could layer up the flowers.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and then the next layer is Early Espresso and the DSP on here is from the Print Poetry pack.

My card is kinda busy and all the flower and leaves sorta hides the sketch, but it is there I promise. :)

The sentiment comes from the Petite Pairs stamp set.

Be sure and hop on over to  Still AddINKtive to see what the rest of the girls did with this challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Still AddINKtive......Oh Hello

Oh, Hello....Peeps!!!

It is time for another new challenge at Still AddINKtive.

This week is a a fun color challenge:

I have to admit, I struggled a bit with this color combo....I threw a couple of things into the recycle bin before finally getting this card made. I do love what I ended up with but it took a few false starts to get there!!

My card is a 4-1/2 inch square, no envelope for this one but let's face it, with the rolled flowers and scrunchy bow this wouldn't be a very mailable card anyway. 

The DSP on here is from the Fan Fair paper pack. The sentiment is from the new Stampin Up "Oh, Hello stamp set. I used a non SU Sizzix die for my rolled flowers and the leaves are from the Stampin Up Little Leaves die.

be sure and hop on over the the Still AddINKtive Blog to see what the rest of the design team did with this color challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Still addINKtive.....Happy Birthday

Hello Peeps!!

It is time for another fun challenge at Still addINKtive.

It is week 3 and we have our second combined sketch and color combo to get you motivated.

A different twist to our challenges is that you can use both parts of the challenge OR you can choose either the sketch or the color combo. It is entirely up to you!!

The sketch this week is for a square card or project featuring an image in the center.

We have some bright summery colors, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Starfruit and Chocolate Chip.

I went a bit shabby chic with my card. I combined a few sets with this one.

I used Stampin Up's   French foliage in the Background, the flourish is from Everything Eleanor and the flowers are from the new Secret Garden set, I love that new set and it's matching dies.

The base of the card is Chocolate Chip card stock and I cut it with the Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die.

The next layer is Tempting Turquoise and then Very Vanilla for the main image panel.

The flowers are stamped with Tempting Turquoise and Summer Starfruit.

I used one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack for the centers.

Be sure and pop over to the Still addInktive Blog to see what the others did with this great challenge.

I sure hope you have time to play along.

Thanks for stopping by today and 

HAPPY STAMPING!!

Still addINKtive.....Pinwheels

Hello Peeps!!!

Here it is, our very first challenge at Still addINKtive.

This week is a color and sketch challenge:

I had to make some fun pinwheels using the new Sizzlits Die that is in the Stampin Up Spring Mini, which will be available to purchase on the 3rd. So much fun!

I used some mini silver brads for the center and added dowels for the pinwheel handles.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

Be sure and hop over to the Challenge Blog to see the rest of the design teams creations and I sure hope you can play along.

HAPPY STAMPING!
