Flower Shop Stamp Set – MOJO Monday MOJO308

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Beverly

Today’s 5″ x 5″ card was created for a special sister whom I think of often and love very much. The card features the Stampin’ Up! Flower Shop Stamp Set. The design of the card was inspired by MOJO Monday Sketch Challenges, namely number 308 or MOJO308. Also featured on this card is the beautiful Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper.

The round and square sketches below are for this week’s MOJO Monday. Isn’t it nice to have a sketch to follow when creating a card? I started participating last week in the MOJO Monday challenges, and I’m finding I enjoy it.

I love the color combination of pink and yellow, which are the colors for one of the designs of the Stampin’ Up! Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper. I also love bold colors, as you may have noticed, which are spotlighted on the Flower Shop Stamp Set greeting card.

Notice in the square design at the bottom right there is a spot for three elements. I chose three Stampin’ Up! Basic Pearls and colored them with permanent markers. Also the sketch requires a flower at the top left. I used the Flower Shop Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Pansy Punch to create the required flower. The flower actually is two-dimensional. I like the leaves that I made; what do you think? I tried to replicate pansy flower leaves.

I really like the embossing folder I used on the Daffodil Delight Card Stock. It is an Anna Griffin embossing folder called Wildflower Gate. The embossing shows better in the first picture above and the last picture at the bottom.

Stampin Up Paper Purse and Cards – Gingham Garden DSP

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Beverly

I have a cutie for you today; a Stampin Up Paper Purse and matching cards made with the new Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper (129310). I have noticed a lot of up-scale stores offering pink purses, so I decided the Gingham Garden DSP would be perfect for this Stampin Up Paper Purse.

The design for this paper purse is one that I developed back in 2011. You can see that purse here.

These are the three 3″ x 3″ “Thank You” greeting cards with matching envelopes. The cards match the Stampin Up Paper Purse.

This picture is of the Stampin Up Paper Purse’s fastener that is made with the Daffodil Delight and floral design from the Gingham Garden DSP. (Personally, I think the color is closer to So Saffron.) I used a paper piercer around the edges of the fastener and stitched a blue embroidery thread around it. I topped it off with a Spring Catalog Designer Builder Brad. Attached to that brad is a Midnight Muse In Color Dahlia (127556).

You can see the back of the fastener as well as the two side embellishments that extend to the front. They are made with the Daffodil Delight and floral design from the Gingham Garden DSP and Primrose Petals In Color Dahlias.

The 3″ x 3″ matching “Thank You” greeting cards fit perfectly into the opening of the purse. I made three of the cards; however, I could easily fit six inside the Stampin Up Paper Purse.

This card features the new Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape (129314). I’ve not used washi tape before, and I must say I really like Stampin’ Up!’s. Also featured are flowers from the Stampin’ Up!’s Boho Blossoms Punch (119858).
