TGIF Challenge 153...Anything Goes With Blooming Basket:

This week's challenge is SUPER fabulous, in my opinion!  It's an "Anything Goes" for us designers-- March Madness challenge!  Then as participators...you choose from any of the designers submissions to be inspired by!  How fun is that?!  Well, I think it's quite fun.  😀

So...Sale-A-Bration is winding down.  😱😭 As in, we are in our LAST TWO DAYS!!!  So...I wanted to use the FABULOUS product bundle that is available with this years offerings.  Have you seen the Blooming Basket Bundle?!  Oh man...it has this fabulous stamp set & coordinating fabulous embossing folder.  Love it!  😍  For the challenge this week, I decided to just use a quick layout and make a fun card using this bundle...

Colors: Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Old Olive

Cardstock/Papers:  Whisper White, Pink Pirouette

Stamps: Blooming Basket

Tools: Big Shot, Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder

Accessories: Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, & Crumb Cake Blends (light & dark), Iridescent Sequin Assortment, Linen Thread

What do you think?!  This embossing folder is my complete FAVORITE.  It is one of the Dynamic folders, which means it's thicker and gives you a much deeper embossed image.  And is STUNNING!

Isn't it so fabulous?!?!  It really is so beautiful.  And this basket is just so much fun...

Gah!!  Love it!  Let me show you this week's challenge--and CLICK HERE to head to the blog to participate!!!--and then I want to show you the Blooming Basket Bundle products.  So challenge:

And here you can see the whole stamp set with the basket folder:

I used the same technique with the Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper on this card that I used on THIS PROJECT.  I LOVE coloring the paper this way.  And look how beautiful it turns out...

 

Just makes my heart totally swoon!  😍😍😍  The colors I used here are Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, and Bermuda Bay.  And this Springtime Foils paper!  💖💖💖 It's only available through Sale-A-Bration...which ends March 31st.  Just a few days left to get it!!!

This flower is from the "May Flowers" Framelits.  I cut out the large detailed flower in Berry Burst cardstock, adhered it to Berry Burst cardstock, and then just cut around the flower.  Then colored on the inside with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, so it's shimmery in real life.

I'm pretty excited about how this card turned out.  Hope you enjoy also!  Thanks so much for visiting!  Head on over to the Paper Craft Crew blog to play along!!

Springtime Foils Beauty...

Is it ok to admit that I absolutely LOVE a project I have made?!  Because if it is, I'm admitting it.  😀Hee.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this project.  I think it turned out totally beautiful!  And it all started with me wanting to make something for my Designers With Ink team that was coming to my house for the team event we had that I posted about HERE.  I love to spoil them whenever I can.  💖  So want to see what I made?!  Hint...it's using the Sale-A-Bration item, "Springtime Foils" Specialty Designer Series Paper that you can get FREE only until March 31st!  (So hurry up if you don't have this yet!  😀)

Colors: Gold, Powder Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White

Cardstock/Papers:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (Sale-A-Bration FREE!)

Stamps: Petal Palette (greeting)

Tools: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Heat Tool, Sponge Brayer

Accessories: Love Mini Tinsel Trim (gold), Delicate White Doilies, Gold Library Clips, Gold Binder Clips, Whisper White Embossing Powder

Because really...just look at this!  I have to say...it's SOOOOOOO beautiful in real life.  (But I kinda feel like I shouldn't be saying that.  Haha.)  What do you think?!

This paper that I used is actually white and metallics.  And I used it in two different places...the base of the tag and the flower.  This is how it looks when it gets to you...

It's absolutely stunning and I'm in love with it just like this.  But it's also so easy to add color!  Here I just used the FABULOUS Sponge Brayer to add color to the dotted paper...

(The colors are--starting at the top--Powder Pink, Flirty Flamingo, and then Melon Mambo.  I used the same brayer roller.  Just started with the lightest color and worked towards the darkest.)

Then for the flower paper, I just colored with the Blends markers with Pink Pirouette and Old Olive Blends markers.  And just cut out. There are lots of different flowers and leaves images to color so they all look a little different ...

And then it just all comes together like this...

It has those fun details so it may take a little bit of extra time to put it together.  But it's all easy & fun! Let me know if you have any more questions!  Thank you SO MUCH for visiting!!!

TGIF Challenge 151: Double Inspiration...

Spring is coming!!!  YAY!!!  (Wellllllllll...kind of.  I live in Utah so you NEVER know what weather will really be like.)  Either way...with this week's TGIF Challenge...spring is coming in your craft space!  It's an inspiration challenge!  Look at this fun inspiration...

You could use flowers, the colors, anything!  I have been having a blast with the Beautiful Day stamp set and the new Brusho stuff.  So I have a DOUBLE inspiration for you...two cards! 

There are definitely similarities to both of them...same flower stamp, they are both embossed and then colored with Brusho, both use the FABULOUS *FREE* Sale-A-Bration Basket Weave embossing folder, etc.  And I think they are both kinda fun.  😀  There are some differences also, of course. 

This first one was a little more simple because no fussy cutting is involved...

Colors: Dapper Denim, Basic Black, Gold, Peach

Cardstock/Papers:  Watercolor Paper, Dapper Denim, Basic Black

Stamps: Beautiful Day

Tools: Big Shot, Basket Weave Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Iridescent Sequins, Rhinestones Basics, Gold Embossing Powder, Brusho Color Crystals, Linen Thread

Just LOOK at the depth and beauty of the color on that flower!  I used the yellow and then added a sprinkle or two of the orange brusho also. 

Then this one I fussy cut the flower.  Wasn't too bad, but probably wouldn't want to make a ton of them.

Colors: Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Gold, Copper

Cardstock/Papers:  Whisper White, Watercolor Paper, Basic Black, Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Beautiful Day

Tools: Big Shot, Basket Weave Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Metallics Sequin Assortments, Gold Faceted Gems, Gold Embossing Powder, White Embossing PowderBrusho Color Crystals, Linen Thread

LOVING the *FREE* Springtime Foils Sale-A-Bration paper that you can earn FREE through the end of March.  It. Is. Gorgeous.  Truly stunning.  You need to get your hands on some if you haven't already.  😁 

I so hope you enjoy these projects and play along with us over at the TGIF Challenge Blog!!!

Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you get any paper-crafting supplies!
