Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project created with the new Party Dress Dies that were just released last month! OMGoodness, talk about FUN! Yes, these are amazing and can be used for so many different occasions! I created a super cute congrats card for this showcase! I used coordinating papers from the Royal 12×12 Collection Pack and stamps from the Congratulations and Get Well sentiment stamp sets!

Using the Party Dress dies, I cut the card base and layers from two coordinating papers in the Royal 12×12 Collection Pack. I assembled the card and added a small strip of Eyelet Outlet purple Pearls & Jewels Fancy Long Bling at the waistline. I stamped a sentiment from the Congratulations sentiment stamp set in Memento Paris Dusk ink. The finishing touch was adding several Eyelet Outlet white pearls around the bottom scallops.

I die cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and adhered a strip of one additional coordinating paper from the Royal 12×12 Collection Pack across the bottom. I stamped a sentiment from the Congratulations sentiment stamp set in Memento Paris Dusk ink along with a tiny heart from the Get Well sentiment stamp set in Catherine Pooler Flirty Fuchsia ink.

Way To Go! (set of 2)

Hi everyone! Happy Happy Tuesday to you – hope your week is off to a great start! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Stinkin’ Inkers and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for It’s A Colorful World! We’d love to see you create a project using a color combo of your choice – easy peasy this month! I was commissioned by a co-worker to create a congratulations card so I created two, a blue/green and blue/pink, for her to take her pick. She wanted both, lol!

These cards are identical except for the colors. I created the backgrounds on watercolor paper with india inks and water, drying with my heat tool between color applications. I arranged multiple stamps on my stamp platform, stamped in black ink and then again in Versamark, and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I layered the blue/green panel on black cardstock.

For a little variety, I chose not to layer the blue/pink panel and just cut it the size of the card base. I stamped a simple sentiment on a layered panel on the inside, identical for both cards. Loving how they turned out!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Canson Cold Press Watercolor Paper, Marco’s black Kaleida-Paper cardstock, Stampin’ Up thick and regular Whisper White cardstock
Stamps: Stampin’ Up Bravo stamp set
Ink: Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bombay India Ink- Aqua and Magenta; Tattered Angels Dragonfly and Moss Glimmer Mist; Tattered Angels Party Pink and It’s Blue Glimmer Mist; Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Versamark
Accessories: Tim Holtz stamp platform, Hero Arts clear embossing powder

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing these cards today, and will link up a project in your favorite color combo with us this month! Thanks so much for stopping by – we’ll see you soon! ;)
