A Purple Challenge

Hello everyone. It is time again for another Stamp Off Challenge with Jackie, Buffy and me.  This time our challenge was to use the color purple.  This was a pretty easy challenge since Stampin’ Up!®  has a number of gorgeous purple colors.

The purple I chose to use is Highland Heather.  It is our medium purple and my favorite.  To make this card, I first cut a 2.5″ x 5.25″ piece of Highland Heather cardstock. Then I embossed it using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder which is in the 2020 Mini Catalog.  I love the design of this folder.

Next I used the Medium Daisy Punch and punched out six daisies in Whisper White cardstock.  I layered two of them together to make the three daisies.  I used the Sprig Punch to punch out the leaves in Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from Vibrant Vases in Gorgeous Grape ink.  Lastly I added the Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots to the center of the flowers to add a pop of color.

Now, lets go see what Buffy and Jackie made using the color purple.  Will it be Purple Posy, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape or maybe even Blackberry Bliss?!

Scoring Challenge

Hello everyone.  It is time for another Stamp Off Challenge by Jackie, Buffy and me.  Today’s challenge is to use our Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  You could make a 3D item or a card.  I chose to make a card.

To make this card I first took a piece of Purple Posy cardstock and cut it to 5″ x 3.75″.  Then I scored it at 1″, 1 1/8″, 1 1/4″, 1 3/8″ and 1 1/2″ so I have 5 score lines 1/8″ apart.  Then I flipped the cardstock once and did the same thing. I layered this piece on top of a 5.25″ x 4″ piece of Gorgeous Grape and onto a card base of Highland Heather.

Here is what the score lines look like up close.

I punched out two of the large daisies using the Daisy Punch and two of the smaller daisies using the Medium Daisy Punch.  Then I punched a circle in Daffodil Delight cardstock using the 1/2″ circle punch.

Lastly I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set called Itty Bitty Birthdays.

Now let’s go see what Buffy and Jackie made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.

Daisy Lane CAS

I love simple and easy cards.  I think they can be elegant and still get the point across.  Simple and easy cards are called CAS.  This stands for clean and simple.

This card is a CAS card. I used the new stamp set called Daisy Lane.  This stamp set has a couple of coordinating punches.  One is the Daisy Punch and the other is the Medium Daisy Punch.  You can buy this stamp set and the Medium Daisy Punch in a Bundle and save 10%   This stamp set also has a coordinating stamp in the new catalog called Daisy Delight.  I love it when Stampin’ Up!® adds new products to go with the old products.

To make this card, I first stamped the flower in Gorgeous Grape and the stem in Shaded Spruce onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Then I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and layered this piece onto Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then onto a Whisper White card base.

Tasteful Backgrounds & Daisy Lane

Stampin’ Up!® has so many awesome new products in the 2019/2020 Annual Catalog that I had a hard time keeping to my budget.  I am not a very patient person so when I see something I love, I want it immediately.  This card had three different products that I purchased right away.

The colors I used on this card are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Mango Melody.  To make this card I first used the set of dies called Tasteful Backgrounds.  There are three dies in this set that you can use to make fun backgrounds like this one.  It also has a matching stamp set called Tasteful Textures (and you can get the 10% Bundle price).  I didn’t use the matching stamp set on this card but it is really pretty and worth buying.

After I cut them out, I used my 1 1/4″ Circle Punch with Mango Melody cardstock to put behind a couple of the cut out images.  Then I used Mango Melody ink with the stamp set called Daisy Lane with the matching punch called Medium Daisy (you can buy these in a Bundle and save 10%).  The sentiment is from another new stamp set called Here’s A Card.  This is a sentiment only set that has a few different elegant fonts and sentiments to use on the inside and the outside of a card.
