My take on The Paper Players Challenge 405

I thought I would try the challenge over at The Paper Players. This is a Color Challenge and I have to say, I struggled with this one. I am typically not a monochromatic stamper, but I used all the colors in the challenge. It is very simple, but here is my card:

Here is the challenge:



The Paper Players

I used 3/4" strips of the colored card stock and glued them onto a piece of white card stock that is 3 3/4" x 5". I then used dimensionals to adhere that piece to the card base. I cut out the sentiment die and the leaves with the Stitched Seasons dies. These dies and coordinating stamp set and Watercolor Pencils, Assortment 2 are only available while supplies last in August! 

I stamped the wheat with So Saffron ink on the edge of the die and the sentiment with Pumpkin Pie ink. These stamps are in the Blended Seasons stamp set. 

I adhered the sentiment die with dimensionals and adhered the leaf dies with thinly, cut strips of dimensionals. I then trimmed the edge of the top leaf off. Not fancy, but I think I like it!

Broadway Bound scrap book layout

Today I am sharing a scrap book layout that features the "Broadway Bound" suite. I just love the fun, bright and shiny elements that this suite has. 

I used a few elements from the June Paper Pumpkin. It co-ordinated with the Broadway Bound suite. How awesome is that! The items used from the PP kit are: gold "Hooray" sticker, cake cut-outs, balloon stickers, black banner (Wish), and the smaller stitched circles. I cut those from one of the banners. I was able to get two out of one banner. The circle on the right page had a little chunk out of it, but I covered it with the cake cut out. The end of the banner point was also showing, but I covered the seam with the balloon strings. You can't even tell! Genious!

I love how the "Wish" just pops on the black. I heat embossed it with white, embossing powder and it just looks amazing.

Color Your Season swap card

I participated in a swap that my friend and fellow demonstrator, Brynn Thornburgh, hosted last month. For those of you who don't know what a swap is, a "swap" is where you make several of the same card and then you swap with other people that have done the same. You end up with several beautiful cards that are all different!

For this swap, we were to use the products in the Color Your Season special that Stampin' Up! is running in the month of August. This is the card that I made.

This Blended Seasons stamp set is so wonderful because it covers so many seasons. I decided to go a little different route. I wanted to make a wedding card. I also made a fancy, gate fold card. I used the Stitched Seasons dies that coordinate with the stamp set. They are fabulous! They stitch both the inside AND the outside! Swoon!

I decorated the inside of the card as well. That little bell can be used for weddings like I have done, or it can be used as a Christmas bell. So many choices with this set! It is one that I am going to be using for quite some time.

The products I used are listed below:
