Everyday Enchantment for SSC 239

I really liked the sketch that the ladies over at Stamping 411 put out this week.  Be sure to head over there and see what the design team and others have come up with.

I waffled back and forth trying to decide what to do for it and finally decided to go with a monochromatic look.  I wouldn't really say it's my "style" but I'm happy with the result.  What do you think?

Everyday Enchantment Thanks for SSC 239

 The colour scheme is Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla.  I used, again, almost exclusively Sale-a-bration product with the exception of the scallop punch, pearls and sentiment. 

It's actually a relatively simple card...the bow took me the longest to make it look right.  To learn how to make a bow like this head over to Stamping 411 and look through the tutorials along the side bar....very helpful!

Here are all the details:

Stamp Sets:  Fresh Vintage (SAB 2012), Thank You Kindly

Inks and Paper:  Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB 2012), Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla

Accessories and Embellishments:  Designer Frames Textured Embossing Folders (SAB 2012), 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, Basic Pearls, Calypso Coral organza ribbon (SAB 2012).

Happy Stamping!

Fresh Vintage for TSOT 50

Time for some more Sale-a-bration product!!!!  I'm so excited that it's finally here...I love getting FREE stuff (if you haven't heard about Sale-a-bration, be sure to check out my Stampin' Up website, http://lauragardiner.stampinup.net).  For tonight's post, I consulted the Try Stampin' On Tuesday sketch for this week.  Here's what I came up with using, almost exclusively, Sale-a-bration product:

The colour scheme is quite simple: Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, and Very Vanilla with a touch of Poppy Parade.  I was drawn again this evening towards the Everyday Enchantment DSP and Fresh Vintage stamp set...both of which are in the current Sale-a-bration catalogue.  To frame the image I used the Designer Frames Textured Embossing folders (also available for free with a $60 purchase).  I stamped the image first on Very Vanilla Card Stock, ran it through the Big Shot in the rectangular frame and then hand cut it out.  The Lucky Limeade frame also had to be hand cut.

The Pool Party strip was embossed in the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Embossing Folder and then I sponged it lightly with Soft Suede ink. 

Stayed tuned for more projects using Sale-a-bration products!  Happy Stamping!!!!

Fresh Vintage for SSC237

Doesn't "Fresh Vintage" seem like a bit of an oxymoron?  I got thinking about it tonight and wondered about that.  It doesn't really matter because, either way, I love the stamp set and the "matching" Everyday Enchantment papers that can be found in the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalogue.  I'm really being challenged to use colours that I wasn't particularly keen on previously, like Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral.

For tonight's post I drew on Stampin' 411's Saturday Sketch Challenge 237 sketch.  Here's is what I came up with:

Lots of "antiquing" with Soft Suede ink and lots of distressed edges in this one....again.  I'm going through a phase : )

I selectively coloured the stamp to match the Designer paper....although in retrospect I suppose I could have just used the Designer paper itself.

 

Although it is hard to see here, I "antiqued" the Poppy Parade strip with Soft Suede as well.

Here are the details:

Stamp Sets:  Fresh Vintage (SAB 2012), Three Little Words

Papers:  Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB 2012), Calypso Coral CS, Poppy Parade CS, Soft Suede CS, Pool Party CS, Very Vanilla CS

Inks:  Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, Peach Parfait

Accessories/Embellishments:  Designer Frames Textured Embossing Folder, Vintage Wallpaper Textured Embossing Folder.

Happy Stamping!

Another Sneak Peek

Here's another sneak peek from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.  I absolutely LOVE this Designer Series Paper, "Everyday Enchantment".  It is so pretty and the colour combinations can't be beat.  This is another pretty simple card with lots of sponging ink on paper to give it a bit of an aged look.  I also used the oval from the Designer Frames Embossing folders (you can earn these FREE with a $60 purchase during Sale-a-bration!).    I'll be doing this card tonight at my Make and Take class....super simple but really pretty.

Here's an inside look at the card.  I used another Sale-a-bration stamp, from the "Fresh Vintage" set,  in here to create a little bit of interest.

Here are the details for the supplies I used:

Stamp Sets:  Three Little Words, Fresh Vintage (Sale-a-bration 2012)

Papers:  Everyday Enchantment (SAB 2012), Soft Suede CS, Very Vanilla CS

Inks:  Soft Suede (for sponging all the papers),  Calypso Coral

Embellishments and Accessories:  Chantilly Lace Ribbon,  Calypso Coral Organza Ribbon (SAB 2012),  Designer Frames Textured Embossing Folder.

Happy Stamping!
