Dandelion Graduation

Here's my final post for today!  It's for the Mojo Monday sketch and for the Playdate Cafe color challenge to use black, white, and a splash of mustard yellow (I used More Mustard, of course!)

I used the upcoming set, World Treasures for my floral image which reminds me of dandelions when it's stamped in this color!  The sentiment is from the trusty, Teeny Tiny Wishes set which I think EVERYONE should have!

Supplies List:
Paper: Whisper White, More Mustard, Basic Black dp (part of the neutrals print pack)
Stamps: World Treasures, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: More Mustard, Basic Black
Accessories: Scallop Border Punch, Antique Brads (black), Basic Grey Taffeta Ribbon, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Have a wonderful Monday!

 I made these for my student assistants, 9 to be exact.  They didn't take me long to do at all and I think they turned out super cute!  The best news is... I finally cut all my sheets of Au Chocolate designer paper... haha, I've had it FOREVER!  Obviously, it's retired.. so is the stamp set I used called Eat Chocolate.

Supplies List:
Paper: Very Vanilla, Au Chocolate DP (retired)
Stamps: Eat Chocolate (retired)
Ink: Early Espresso
Accessories: Early Espresso Striped Ribbon (retired), Large Oval Punch

Up, Up, & Away Art

Hello!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  It's getting closer to my studio's dance recital, it's on June 2nd, and I always like to make things for the people who have helped me get ready.  This particular piece is for my graduating seniors.  I actually made three identical pieces... I need to me a fourth, but it's for a boy, so I'm trying to figure out how to make something that isn't girly!

I made my scene with one of my most favorite sets, Up, Up, & Away!  I used the soon to be retiring hostess paper, Cheerful Treat for my "grass".

Complete Supplies:Paper: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Cheerful Treat DP
Stamps: Up, Up, & Away
Ink: Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Marina Mist
Accessories: Concord Crush Ribbon, Circle Nesties (non-SU), Stampin' Dimensionals

Thankful Peacock {Sneak Peek}

 Here's the card I made this morning for the Create with Connie & Mary color challenge and the Pals Paper Arts Sketch challenge!

I used the upcoming set, World Treasures that will be available June 1st!  I paired it with the Sale-a-Bration set from this year called Outlined Occasions which, unfortunately, is no longer available.

The color challenge on Create with Connie & Mary is to use Poppy Parade (which will retired on May 31st), Pool Party, & Basic Black.  It's a fun color combination and thought this peacock would like great in the bright colors!

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pool Party, Pocketful of Posies DP (will retire May 31st),  Comfort Cafe DP (available June 1st)
Stamps: World Treasures (available June 1st), Outline Occasions (retired)

A Cup of Thanks {Sneak Peek}

Hello!  I actually made this card yesterday, but didn't have a chance to post it.  It's for the sketch challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers.  I used my *NEW* designer paper Comfort Cafe which will be available to order on June 1st!  I used a new Framelit collection called Bitty Banners.  It will be available to order on June 1st as well!  I also used the new In-Color called Midnight Muse for the tea cup. 

Speaking of NEW... the new ink pads from Stampin' Up! are amazing!!  If you haven't heard, Stampin' Up has revamped their ink pads and they are soooo nice.  You won't believe how "juicy" they are and how you don't have to keep tapping to fully ink an image!  You will love them!

Supplies List:
Paper: Pool Party, Soft Suede, Whisper White, Comfort Cafe DP (available June 1st!)
Stamps: Tea Shoppe (carrying over from the Occasions Mini Catalog.. yay!) 
Ink: Midnight Muse (available June 1st), Soft Suede

Happiest Birthday

For Mother's Day, my mom and I had a stampin' day!  It was really fun and I got to use some of her products that I don't own!  I actually own the set Apothecary Art, but I have had a hard time getting into it.  I don't know what it is, but I have a hard time getting the stamp to ink and stamp clearly.  I think I have figured out that I need to invest in a bigger clear block and I hear the new Stampin' Up ink pads are AWESOME and cover stamps much better, so I am hopeful!

I used the Label Framelits along with the Edgelits on this card.  I just love them and I'm so happy Stampin' Up is creating these products!  The designer paper is retired and is called Bella Blue.  I did "old school" watercoloring by pressing the ink pad to the lid and then using my Aqua Painters to color the image.  I love how it turned out!

Supplies List:
Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Bella Blue Dp (retired)
Stamps: Apothecary Art
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Labels Framelits, Edgelits, Pleated Baja Breeze Ribbon, Vintage Lace, Stampin' Dimensionals, Aqua Painters
