More Retiring Products

I'm on a mission to use products that will retire soon and this card does just that! I used the On A Pedestal stamp set with the DSP Pack In-Color. I also used the Stamping 411 Sketch#208 here.
The base is Poppy Parade card stock and I added two of the patterns from the DSP Pack In-Color. I stamped the pedestal from On A Pedestal in Poppy Parade and used the So Saffron and Baha Breeze Stampin' Write markers on the cake portion. I used the Build a Cupcake XL Punch to punch out the cherry with some Pear Pizzazz and Red Glimmer paper. I stamped let's celebrate from On Your Birthday in Poppy Parade and punched it out with the 1 3/8 by 5/8 inch Large Oval punch. Finally, some 1/2 inch Poppy Parade stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

Sunny Birthday Card for a Mojo Sketch

I made this card for the MojoMonday sketch#177 here.
I started with Poppy Parade card stock and added some Peach Parfait then papers from the Sunny Garden DSP. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the images from On A Pedestal. The cake stand was stamped in Poppy Parade, the present inked up with Daffodil Delight and Peach Parfait Stampin Write markers and the greeting inked up with Pear Pizzazz. I used the Build a Cupcake punch to punch out the cherry with Red Glimmer paper and the stem with Pear Pizzazz. The greetings in both the circle and the pennant are from Birthday Bliss and were inked up with Poppy Parade and stamped on Whisper White. The top one was punched with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch and layered onto a Poppy Parade piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch Circle punch. I trimmed down the birthday bliss, matted it with Poppy Parade, and snipped it into the pennant shape. The pennant and circles were popped up with Stampin dimensionals.

Happy New Year! I'm happy to be back stamping again after all the holidays. And also happy that the Occasions Mini Catalog is up for sale today! So I made this card using the Springtime Vintage DSP and the Stamping 411 sketch#184 here.

Happy 16th Birthday Megan!

It's my beautiful daughter's 16th birthday today-Happy Birthday Megan! The wrapping paper was my inspiration for the colors and I used the Clean & Simple FTL#117 here to make this bright and cheery card for my bright, beautiful, funny, loving daughter! She goes for her drivers licence test on Monday so we'll see what happens then.
I used Crumb Cake for the card stock base. Then I added some Real Red and DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights stack.

I added a Pumpkin Pie piece punched with the XL Fancy Flower punch. I colored "Sweet" from Got Treats with the Real Red Stampin write marker and 16 from a non-SU set. That was punched with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and added to a Real Red piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. I used the Perfect Plum and Real Red Stampin write markers to color the cupcake from On a Pedestal, punched it out with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch.

A Birthday Card for Lily

I put away my Christmas projects to make a birthday card for my niece, Lily. I used the Create with Connie & Mary sketch#125 here after I saw a darling card by Carrie Gaskin that used this sketch.  I started with a base of Melon Mambo and added DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for all the stamps from On a Pedestal. The base was stamped in Concord Crush, the present in Real Red and Pumpkin Pie and the top cupcake in Concord Crush and Melon Mambo. Oh, and the candle in Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo, punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch Square punch and layered in onto a Melon Mambo piece punched with the Scallop Square punch. That whole piece was then popped up with Stampin dimensionals.I matted that with Concord Crush and added a strip of Pumpkin Pie that was run thru the Scallop Edge Border punch. I stamped the tag from Birthday Bakery in Concord Crush and added a Concord piece punched with the Large Tag punch. I colored that in with Concord Crush, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Stampin write markers. Then I added a Pumpkin Pie Glitter brad and more Stampin dimensionals. Finally, some 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie and Real Red grosgrain finish it off.

A Two-for-One Card

This card covers two challenges at Splitcoast.
First, the Color Combo #296 here of Poppy Parade, Tempting Turquoise and White. And second, the Sketch Challenge #306 here.  I took a little creative liberty and added a tad of Early Espresso too.
I started with a base of Whisper White. I ran some Poppy Parade thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the word stamp from On a Pedestal on the bottom of the Poppy Parade. I matted that with Early Espresso. I colored in the cupcake with my Poppy Parade and Tempting Turquoise Stampin write markers then also used the Early Espresso marker on the cherry. I popped the cherry up with a tiny Stampin dimensional. I punched out the cupcake with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch, added a Turquoise piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch XL circle punch, a Poppy circle from the Circles #2 Bigz die and an Espresso piece punched with the 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch. I also added dots with my White gel pen. A strip of Tempting Turquoise from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack finishes it off.

MOJO163 Cake

This card is my try at MOJO#163 here.
It came together pretty quickly! I started with a Very Vanilla base and added Riding Hood Red card stock and DSP from Love Letter. I used my Scallop Square bigz die to cut a square from Early Espresso and just trimmed it down for a mat. On Very Vanilla I stamped the cake base from On a Pedestal in Early Espresso. I used my markers to color the cake and cherry in Riding Hood Red and Early Espresso. I used the Decorative Label punch on some more Love Letter DSP. I stamped the sentiment from Party Hearty in Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla. I punched that out with the Word Window punch and layered that on to a Riding Hood Red piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, I added some retired Riding Hood Red ribbon.
