I love to paper craft and have started to make cards for the "Pretty Pals" Stampin' Up group to which I belong. I have been enjoying participating in the Pretty Pals color and sketch challenges, and I am looking forward to joining in on the 'blog hop' soon! Having a blog makes it easier for me to showcase my cards and projects.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today's card is for the Pal's Paper Art Color Challenge. The colors are: S</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">oft Sky, Real Red and Whisper White. I saw a card similar to the one I made on pinterest. It was made by Patty Gorka. I thought the flowers were so beautiful. That was my inspiration for the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To make this card, I used the oval framelits and the big shot and then embossed the oval shape with the hexagon embossing folder. Next I stamped the flowers and then cut them out with the big shot using the "secret garden" framelit set. I popped some of the flowers out with dimensionals. The final touch was using basic pearl jewels.</span>Kim L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15521460971520160020noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851629489235279463.post-76144149138149738642013-06-08T13:01:00.001-05:002013-06-08T13:01:46.177-05:00PPA160This card was made with Gumball Green, Primrose Pedals, and Whisper White. <div>I've been "gone" awhile and it feels great to be back stamping again!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8fFzg9JjwjG8iazXg-3w4Vkx6U6_99lQbKYLqNs8Dpj2qqpAI5i_6BNlIvJdryIiGW-YX05-SPVJ03pnzDaEEJxJ0Sw97cHhPSrYci2dGpSENIhPoFII3teg1mUgkjSL_TJuOFhSO78/s640/blogger-image-1232042338.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I made two cards today. I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets; "Lovely as a Tree". I stamped the tree with black stazon ink, then I used 3 different colors of Stampin' Up! ink with a blender pen and colored in the foliage of the tree. The trees here in North Dakota are starting to change colors. This big tree reminds me of the colors around here.</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Here is the card I created for today's color challenge. The lucky limeade background paper is scored around the edges to give it a framed appearence. "Nemo" was created by using different Stampin' Up! punches. The modern label punch for his fins, the retired butterfly punch was used for his tail, the large oval punch is his face, and 2 different sized circle punches were used for his eyes.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">My inspiration for the fish came from Niki Toll. She had a card on Pinterest.com that featured a punch art fish. When I saw it, I knew I had to case it!! Isn't he cute?!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The card I made for the blog hop features the stamp set, 'Perfectly Preserved'. This set is so versatile and fun to use. I thought the "Orchard Harvest" designer series paper (DSP) went well with this set. I layered the card to get some depth and detail. I just tore the edges of the paper to get the jagged edge look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I used some of the new in-color ink to coordinate with the DSP when I stamped the jars and apples. Bakers twine was used to top off the jar on the right.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today is an exciting day for me. I am a guest on </span><a href="http://www.stampinpretty.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mary Fish's</span> <span style="color: #cc0000;">Stamping Pretty website</span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">!! To me, she is a 'rock star' of Stampin' Up! She is a great leader of all the PALS and has a BIG following. I am so inspired by her work, and have loved being a part of her Stampin' Up! group. She is wonderful person, and I even had an opportunity to meet her in person when I was in Arizona on vacation.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">The project that is featured is a purse (or bag) I made out of Stampin Up! fabric. It was such a fun project to make. Stampin' Up!'s fabric is of high quality, and I loved working with it. Here it is:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the "Spice Cake" designer series fabric from the Stampin' Up! The purse is made from sewing together 2.5" strips of fabric. I followed a pattern I purchased at a local quilt store. It was easy to make and I have been giving them as gifts! I have made 5 purses so far. So fun for me! If you have any questions about the purse or want further information, you can email me at: <a href="mailto:kthome99@gmail.com">kthome99@gmail.com</a> </span></div>

I love using the new Stampin' Up! embossing folders; I seem to incorporate them into most of my cards lately! Also, framelits are becoming my new favorite item. I don't like to cut out things with a scissors, so the framelits are perfect for me...no cutting!</span><br />

Today's challenge incorporates the above colors from Stampin' Up! I made a Birthday card with all three colors. Notice the paper piericing around the "Happy Birhday" sediment. I love using the new paper piercing pack that just came out in the new annual catalog. No more guessing in lining up the dots! Thanks for stopping by!</div>

Today's PPA challenge is for the sketch above. I decided to use some of my new products I purchased from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. The new in-colors are so beautiful! Gumball green, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit are the in-colors I used for most of my card. I did a lot of layering using various punches and some of the new framelit dies. Here is the card I came up with below.<br />

For my new catalog project, I used some of the new in colors for 2012-2014. "Midnight Muse" is the star of the show in this project. The designer series paper is: 'Comfort Cafe'. A couple of embossing folders were used to add dimension to my project: Perfect Polka Dot and Elegant Bouquet. The stamp set is: "Forever with You". I used the in color Stampin' Up! markers to color the stamp before stamping it on vanilla cardstock. Beautiful 5/8" Crochet Trim was used for the bow on the bottom of the card. In the center of the bow is a brad from the Antique Brad set.<br />

I made a baby card for my hair-dresser today. She has been on maternity leave since February; and I REALLY missed her!! I have an appointment tomorrow and I am very excited to see her. Here is the card I made for her. Her little girl's name is Bergit...named after her great-grandmother.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #808066; font-family: 'Century Gothic', Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><i>The birthday card I made is showcasing the soon to be retired "in-colors" from 2010-2012. The colors retiring are: Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, and Concord Crush. Before stamping the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment, I colored each word with a different retiring in-color marker. The retiring punch used was the "Doily Triple Layer" punch. In the center of each doily is the matching retiring in-color glimmer brad. The final retiring products used on this card are the satin Old Olive ribbon that is tucked behind the sentiment, and the stamp set entitled, "Happiest Birthday Wishes".</i></span></div>

This dresser card I had made back in January. I had seen pictures of different dresser cards on the internet, and LOVED them. I decided to try and make one of my own; and this is what I came up with. If you would like the dimensions of the card check out my January 24th post; it is listed there.</div>

The card I made for this challenge is below. I tried a new folding technique I just learned called the "teabag" folding technique. It is quite quick and simple and I LOVE the look of the 'medallion' you end up with when you put the 8 pieces of paper together.<br />

Today's PPA sketch challege was a fun card to make. I got to watercolor!! I have always loved coloring! The framelits that 'Stampin Up' came out with recently are so easy to use and have become some of my favorite things to use when I make cards.</div>Kim L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15521460971520160020noreply@blogger.com5
