 FUN WITH PARTS & PIECES
Challenge: Make three lovely cards using the following supplies, but give them each a unique look. A Crushed Curry card base A 3-3/4" x 5" (9.5 x 12.7 cm) piece of white cardstock A 4" x 3/4" (10.2 x 1.9 cm) piece of Cajun Craze Cardstock A 5-1/2" x 2" (14 x 5.1 cm) piece of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set Stampin Up's concept artist accepted this challenge, and now look at all of the lovely cards: one for summer, one for autumn, and one all-occasion card! We particularly wanted to draw your attention to the card with three 1-5/8" x 3-3/4" (4.1 x 9.5 cm) panels. The first depicts late summer/early autumn, the second shows a tree in full autumn glory, and the third panel illustrates a tree preparing to cozy up and hibernate for the winter. By changing the number and color of the leaves in each panel, our artist was able to suggest the seasonal progression—and create a fun build-up of leaves on the bottom of the card, which gets bigger with each panel. #stampinup #stampinandscrappinwithsteph #lifeisbeautiful Happy Stampin Steph

 Although fall scents are not in the air yet......I can't wait for the fall smells and the crisp air. I look forward to apple and pumpkin picking and baking pies! The smells of cinnamon as soon as you walk in!! Another fall inspired card that’s a little bit spicy! Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider are perfect seasonal blend! There are so many color options with the Plaid Tidings DSP.....you will find for any fall/winter holiday. I know I will be reaching for this paper to create with over and over!!!! Make sure you add the pack to your Mini Catalog Wish List! #gatheredtogether #harvesthellos #plaidtidings #stampinup #stampinandscrappinwithsteph @stephjandrowstamps #msscardchallenge13

Thanks for stopping by Happy Stampin Steph  Today I am sharing a little alternate card I used the same layout and stamp/dies as the card I shared in yesterday's blog post, but changed the patterned paper color!!!

These cards were super easy to use. I used a combination of colors for my cardbases, Blushing Bride, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry and Island Indigo which measure 5 1/2x8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 then fold in half. The DSP is now retired but was from the It Starts with Art Suite. The DSP measures 4x5 1/4 I printed out the pages of the PDF on whisper white and cut of the greetings using the Stitched Rectangles and Layering Ovals. I then stamped and cut of the images and colored them with coordinating Stampin Blends!!!! #stampinup #sharesunshine #stampinandscrappinwithsteph @stephjandrowstamps Thanks for stopping by Happy Stampin Steph  Week 4 card challenge is a simple card that features the Bird Ballard Suite. If you liked this stamp set, you will be happy to know that it will be carrying over to the new annual catalog in June!
I chose Crumb Cake as my base and layered the DSP. Punched the flowers and leaves and added a few layers of circles using colors that coordinate, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Pool Party. #msscardchallenge4 Happy Stampin Steph  Here is week 5 card challenge #msscardchallenge5
I used the colors Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, Blushing Bride, Gorgeous Grape and the Best Dressed DSP. I also used the Dressed to Impress stamp set and All Dressed Up dies.

Before adhering to the card I added strip of twine to cover the seam.
I used the Layering Squares dies for a white element. Stamped the flower in Early Espresso and lightly colored with Pool Party Stampin Blends. I also colored a few Rhinestones using the blends. The small tag is cut in Pretty Peacock CS and it's 1" wide. I just eyeballed the length. Finished with some Pretty Peacock Ribbon. What do you think? I hope you share your designs too. Please remember even though I am exclusive to Stampin Up products, you can feel free to use whatever your favorite products are and whatever you have on hand. Happy Stampin Steph |
