Same but different.

I just love this new Sizzix die from Stampin Up! It is an exclusive die-you can not get it anywhere else so if you want one let me know. I can help! I had a few customers wonder
if they would really use it much. The first few things we made with it were treat boxes or holders (which I still need to share on here). So for this month's All Occasions class I thought it would be fun to use it in a couple of the cards. These are the results.

This first card is using some of the stock pile of Purely Pomegranate card stock that I have. I matched it up with the new Pink Pirouette card stock. Very pretty together.

Stamps: One of a Kind and Dreams du Jour
Paper: Purely Pomegranate, Pink Pirouette, Basic Black and Whisper White
Ink: Purely Pomegranate and Basic Black.
Other: 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches. Bo Ho Blossoms punch, black brads, pink ribbon, top note die and swiss dot embossing folder.

This next card is my favorite. Wonderfully fun colors. I really like the die used in this direction with a square on top.

Stamps: Say it with Scallops and It's your birthday.
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose
Other: Top Note die, scallop square punch, swiss dot embossing folder, wide chocolate chip ribbon, white brads and 1/4 inch circle punch

Whatchadoing Wednesday? Challenge #10

So Whatcadoing? It's Wednesday and even though I should be doing lots of other things the weekly challenge is my favorite thing to do! I hope you will set aside all those things you "should' be doing to join us in this week's challenge. We have an inspiration challenge for you this week. Here is the picture. Isn't this bedding so rich and elegant feeling? Two of my favorite colors are red and black so I really love this bedding set. You can allow the inspiration piece to inspire you in any way that you chose. There is no right or wrong with inspiration challenges. You can be inspired by the color, layout, feel or anything else you chose. Afterall, we are all inspired in different ways. I hope you will allow the bedding set to inspire you and play along! Rember you do not have to use SUINK stamps, but why not?! If you do play along please post a comment here so we can all come check it out. Also if you post on SCS please use the key words SUINKWWC10 - no spaces. Here is my sample..... I had a real hard time not adding more to this. But I really wanted to keep the clean lines and bold red from the bedding. The images are from Giving Thanks set. I stamped the image in Versa Mark on the background and then embossed in white. There are a few lines scored on the other side with my Scor Pal. The brads are lined up with the scor lines. The focal image is really simple and it was really hard to not embellish it more but I think it kind of feels like one of the pillows on the bed. So there you have it, the inspiration piece and my sample. Please check out the other posts on the SUINK blog to see the samples from the rest of the design team, they are awesome! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Show off your spirit! And more sketch players too!

This was actually one of the first things I made with this set. Isn't it so cute. It is a pin with little shrinky dink images stamped from the First and Goal set from Storage Unit Ink and More ! So easy and fun too.



Stamps: First and Goal (SUInk)
Paper: Pacific Blue, Real Red and Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Black Stazon
Other: misc beads, wire, wooden shape, pin backing, glitter, computer for wording, shrinky dink white, permanent markers, mini red stones, white gel pen, top note sizzix die

Wouldn't this be adorable for a little girl? I love it.
