#tgifc210 Color Challenge!!!

Happy Friday stampers!  Where has the week gone?!?!  I had plans to post projects all week, but life happened and the posts didn't...anyone else have a week like that?  I did still get some creative time in, which is good news because we have a fun new TGIF Challenges Color Challenge this week!  

I have another Farewell Friday card to share with you this week.  Sheltering Tree is another stamp set that I am sad to see go.  If I remember correctly, this was one of the first photopolymer stamp sets Stampin' Up! released.  I have used this stamp set time and time again!  It's so good for any occasion, in any season!  It will be missed.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Wood Textures DSP

Ink ~ Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Basic Gray, Pear Pizzazz

Stamp Set ~ Sheltering Tree

Other Supplies ~ Frosted Flower Embellishments, Pearl Basic Jewels

The Frosted Flower Embellishments are just too cute!  The Dogwood Tree's are blooming in my area and these little flowers reminded me of the pretty blooms.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  Have a fantastic Friday and an even better weekend!

Happy Stamping!

#tgifc184 Color Challenge

Hello happy stampers...we made it to Friday!!!  This is always a good thing.  But do you know what's even better than this Friday?!?!  Next Friday!!!  Why, you ask?  Because next Friday I will be meeting up with all of the amazing TGIF Design Team members who are attending OnStage in Orlando.  I'm so EXCITED to see them!

It's a good thing I have a lot to do to get myself ready to head to {hopefully}sunny Orlando.  But before I get back to my OnStage crafting, I have this weeks TGIF Color Challenge to share with you.

Several trees in my backyard are dropping leaves in beautiful shades of Cajun Craze and Merry Merlot, which was the inspiration behind this card, along with some creative inspiration from the amazing Krista Frattin at Stampin' Dolce.  Her beautiful card reminded me that I haven't used Sheltering Tree in so long.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Merry Merlot, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Nature's Poem DSP

Ink ~ Crumb Cake, Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze

Stamp Set ~ Sheltering Tree

Other Supplies ~ Copper Metallic Thread, Metallic Sequins, Leaves Trinkets

With all of the wind and rain we have had, the few leaves that are left on our trees will soon be gone.  We've been very lucky with the warm sunny fall we've had and we really need the rain...but that doesn't mean I have to like it ;-)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  I'll be crafting away trying to wrap up all of my creating before I take off Tuesday afternoon.  Wish me luck!

Happy Stamping!

You Warm My Heart

Good afternoon happy stampers!!  Thanks for stopping by today, I am so excited to be participating in a New Catalog Countdown with SSInkspiration.   Today is the third day of the countdown and we have many sneak peek samples for you HERE!

 

I had to get a little bit creative with today's post as I don't have much from the Love Blossom's suite...yet!  I do have the pretty DSP, which I was able to use for a pretty background for and old favorite, Sheltering Tree.

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crumb Cake, Rose Red, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Love Blossoms DSP Stack

Ink ~ Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Rose Red

Stamp Set ~ Sheltering Tree

Other Supplies ~ Linen Thread, Mini Treat Bag (small hearts), Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (heart), Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers

 

This DSP makes for a very pretty background for a simply stamped image.  I love it when the DSP does that for a card!

 

I'll be back again tomorrow with another sneak peek as we continue the 2016 Occasions Catalog countdown.

 

Happy Stamping!



Fall Friendship {Sheltering} Tree

We have had a picture perfect fall where I live...it's been warmer than normal and we've had lots of sunshine.  I'm soaking up all the sunshine I can and loving the beautiful fall trees because I know it will all be gone soon, replaced with gloomy skies and cold.

Today we are focusing on the Sheltering Tree stamp set over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets...you can make beautiful cards for any occasion with this set. 

The pretty trees and falling leaves were my inspiration...

Ink ~ Soft Suede, Tangelo Twist, Crushed Curry, Old Olive
