Put Your Party Pants On!

When I saw this newest Sale-a-bration stamp set called Party Pants, I just knew I had to do something with it.  Then when I saw my Washi Tape Punch, a lightbulb went off and I had to play.

Here's what I came up with.

The Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper was just perfect for some wild party pants, don't you think?

Recipe:

Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Wildflower Fields DSP 5 1/4" x 4" FREE with $50 order during the month of March, then it's gone!
Whisper White cardstock 5" x 3 3/4"
Punch out the "party pants" of your choice with Washi Tape Punch.

Ink used:  Calypso Coral, Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron, Tuxedo Memento Black.

Thank you for looking in today.  I'll post as often as I can during this election week in Arizona!

Thinking of You

Here's another quick and simple card that you can use for any occasion.  I needed a "thinking of you" for a sweet friend who has just received some bad news about her health.  If you could take a moment and say a quick healing prayer for my friend Sue W. from Canada, I would be ever so grateful.

Recipe:   
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Basic Black - 5 1/8" x 4 7/8"
Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (FREE with Sale-a-bration) 5" x 3 3/4"
Basic Black - 3 7/8" x 2 3/8"
Whisper White Cardstock - 3 3/4" x 2 1/4"

Stamps:  
Flowering Fields (FREE with Sale-a-bration) 141300 - wood / 141303 - clear mount
Party Pants (FREE with Sale-a-bration) 141324 - wood / 141327 - clear mount

Ink:  Memento Black
Markers:  Pear Pizzazz, Hello Honey
Gold Wink of Stella (the Gold goes great on the Hello Honey)

I took a piece of Hello Honey and cut it the same width as the DSP and then cut it at an angle.  There are no specific measurements for this, I just simply cut a piece that was the size I wanted.  Adhere it over the DSP and cover the seam with 3/8" Satin Stitched Ribbon in Basic Black.

I popped up the flower and sentiment with dimensionals.  Simple and classy at the same time!

Thank you for looking in.  Happy Saturday and remember to count your blessings every day!  ~ Donna

Put Your Party Pants On

Time to make some more Birthday Cards for #imbringingbirthdaysback!  

Perfect party paper is "It's My Party" Designer Series Paper Stack (140552) from the Occasions Catalog on page 5.

Recipe:

• Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 11" x 4 1/4" scored and folded at 5 1/2"
• It's My Party DSP - 5 1/4" x 4"
• Whisper White Cardstock (strip) 4" x 1 1/2"
• Whisper White Cardstock (sentiment) 2 3/4" x 2 1/2"
• Melon Mambo (or Crushed Curry) 3" x 2 3/4"
• Stamps:  Big News (wood mount - 134015 / clear mount - 134018) / Party Pants (FREE with Sale-a-bration)
• Mint Macaron / Crushed Curry (balloons)
• Balloon Bouquet Punch (140810 - photopolymer)
• Ink - Memento Black (132708)

When I decided to turn the card vertically instead of horizontally, I found that the "it's your birthday" sentiment I had pre-made wouldn't fit, so I put them inside instead and used "Party Pants" on the outside with a longer strip instead.  I honestly just used scraps, so I don't have any measurements for you on those.  I knew I wanted it bigger than the small square of the little stamp, so I picked up some scraps and put them together! 

Ta Da! 

I made one with a banner cut at the end and the other with solid ends.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!  ~ Donna
