Good Morning Fellow Stampers ~~
How is everyone this lovely Thursday? Did you have fun on the Blog Hop yesterday? Lots of fun techniques and textures inspiration? The Stampin' Pretty Pals is a fabulous team and I hope you enjoyed yourself!!
It's my time of the week to just play and share . . . and play I did!! Earlier this past week our "Upline / Upline" Lisa Pretto was out of town; so she challenged the entire team to a sketch challenge while she was away, with prizes upon her return of course -- LOL. It was called the #catsawaychallenge. She provided us with 5 different sketches and you got an entry for each sketch you completed; plus a bonus entry if you got all five done. Monday's Paper Players challenge design was actually using one of those sketches. Today, I thought I'd share the other 4 designs with you since I had so much fun on Sunday just settled into my Studio playing away.
This fun card uses the beautiful Birthday Bouquet DSP, and the Watercolor Words stamp set! I'm thrilled that this set will continue forward into the next Annual Catalog.
There's a little retiring Mossy Meadow cardstock in here too!
Oh my! Out comes that fabulous "extra" stamp set we got in our Paper Pumpkin kits last month. I'm over the moon for this stamp set!
Once again paired with a piece from the Birthday Bouquet designer series paper, and some Vellum, I snuck in a "sneak peak" of the new Flirty Flamingo In Color with some Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron inks. I pulled out some beautiful pink and gold bakers twine from one of last year's Paper Pumpkin kits for a bow, and added those requisite pearls !! :-)
I guess I'm trying to use up this beautiful paper collection; in a couple more weeks it will be gone, and we will have moved on to all sorts of fun new designs.
But for now, I still love this paper collection -- paired perfectly with the Balloon Celebration stamp set and new coordinated Balloon Bouquet punch, all in Mint Macaron and Pool Party inks; with some sweet Mint Macaron/Basic Black two-tone bakers twine bows, and some It's My Party enamel dots to finish them off!
Oh Oh Oh . . . it's a full-fledged "Sneak Peak"~~~
I'll talk more about this fabulous new stamp set in next week's 2nd installment of my Sneak Peak videos for the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.
In the meantime, I can guarantee you that this sweet little stamp set is in my top ten of My Favorite Things for the new Annual. I adore it!!
Sweet puppy has been fussy cut and awaits you on the garden swing. He's napping peacefully but would be happier snuggled next to you with some belly rubs!!
You are going to love this stamp set! And the new little banner punch is "sneaked" on this card too!!
I love this fun collection of cards and had so much fun creating them the other night! I hope you enjoy them too and find a little inspiration among the stamps, ink, and paper here today! It will be Friday before you know it . . . so have a great Thursday!
