Hello Purple Unicorn!

Happy Thursday! I have the cutest card to share today! Since I've been working from home and having the kids home all day every day, it's been a little harder to be able to craft for a decent chunk of time. So this card took a couple of days putting it together in bits and pieces, ha! But I love how it came out.

To start, I cut strips of Magenta Madness, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo card stock. I layered this on a piece of white card stock and then die cut it with the Stitched Rectangles die. Once that was done, I die cut the squiggles from the Hippo and Friends Die in Pool Party card stock.

I stamped the unicorn in Highland Heather ink and used dimensionals to add it to another die cut from the Hippo and Friends dies. The sentiment is from Forever Fern and is stamped on Purple Posy card stock. I then used the Classic Label punch to punch it out.

For the finishing touch, I added Purple Posy ribbon from the Playing with Patterns ribbon pack. This ribbon ties like a dream, I love it! Then I added some of the Playing with Patterns resin dots.

Isn't this such a fun girly card?! I love all of these colors paired together.

Have a great day!

GDP #249 - Color Challenge Unicorn!

Update: Thanks to the Global Design Project team for picking my card as a winner this week!! 

Happy Friday! I'm happy to share another card with you this week. That's 2 cards in one week. It's been a while since I've done that! I just had to play with the new Hippo Happiness bundle. The animals is this set are adorable. Of course the first one I chose had to be the unicorn. I decided to play with this week's Global Design Project color challenge. Challenge HERE.

These are really pretty colors together. So I now present my card with these colors!

The card base is the new Misty Moonlight. This is a nice pretty blue color. The unicorn is stamped in Petal Pink (with a touch of Calypso Coral on top......eeek! I had to squeeze in a darker color for the unicorn body).  Behind the unicorn I die cut the squiggles in Pool Party card stock. These cute little things are included in the Hippo and Friends Dies. The white label behind the unicorn is also from that set.

On the Misty Moonlight card stock, I stamped the little star splatter image with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I stamped one of the sentiments in gray ink on Petal Pink card stock and cut out all of the words.

If you look closely you can see that I used the Misty Moonlight baker's twine and colored the white part of the twine with my Pool Party blend. That's a neat little touch!

And to finish the card I added a few of the Elegant Faceted Gems. These are great gems too. Stampin' Up! really has a bunch of fun new embellishments in the new catalog! Of course I had to get them all and try them out on all of my cards! :)

I hope you enjoyed this cute little unicorn. Have a wonderful weekend!

Playful Pups

Hello, it's Wednesday! For some reason this week seems to be dragging on a bit slower than usual. Oh well, at least I have a super cute card to share. I'm using the Playful Pets set again. But this time I'm using the adorable dog image. Isn't that dog so fun?! I love how this card came out.

I did something fun with the dogs on this card. If you notice in the set the dog image is facing in one  direction but on my card one of the dogs (top right) is facing in the opposite direction. To achieve this look you will need a few supplies; a silicone craft sheet, the Stamparatus, card stock and the ink of your choosing. First, I stamped the dog onto the silicone sheet that is secured on the Stamparatus, then I layered Whisper White cardstock on top of the silicone sheet. I added more ink to the stamp (making sure to keep it in the stamp position on the clear plate of the Stamparatus) and then I stamped the dog again. When you do this you will end up with the dog image on both sides of the card stock. Next, you will die cut the dog. After you cut out the dog you can turn him over so that he faces towards the other dogs. I then colored all the dogs with my Stampin' Blends.

I thought it would be fun to place the dogs in several positions on the squares and I think it came out cute. The DSP is all from the Playful Pets pack. The sentiment is from Manly Mates and is stamped on Gray Granite card stock. I die cut the sentiment with one of the dies from Hippo and Friends dies. Can't wait to play with that set next!! For the finishing touch I added Misty Moonlight baker's twine from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon pack and some In Color Enamel dots.

I hope you enjoyed these fun pups!

Playful Pets

Hello, happy Wednesday! Today's card features another fun new bundle from the new catalog. The Playful Pets suite is so cute! Yesterday's Stampin Through the Catalog challenge features the Pampered Pets stamp set.

I started the card with the cute cat. I actually didn't stamp that cat, I cut it out from the DSP. I love having the option to cut out images from the DSP.

If you look closely you can see another piece of the DSP on the side of the card (the black and white DSP). I stamped the sentiment from the set two times, once in black and once in Real Red. Then I die cut "a real treat" with the Stitched Rectangle dies. The paws are also part of the dies from the Pets Dies set. Aren't they adorable??

I splattered the Coastal Cabana card stock with the Bermuda Bay blender for some extra texture Then I added a fun bow with the Playful Pets trim combo pack and then some Playing with Patterns resin dots. There are so many great new embellishments from the new catalog. I can't tell you what my favorites are just yet because I love them all.

I hope you enjoyed today's card.

Have a great day!
