Hello New Baby, Try Stampin' on Tuesday #314

The sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday has a baby animals theme, but I decided to use an actual human baby.  The sketch is by Vicki          

I started by punching one end of two pieces of 1 5/8 by 2 1/2" pieces of Whisper White card stock with the angle top tag punch. The edges of both tags were sponged with Mint Macaron ink.

Tag 1:  A strip of Up and Away DSP was attached to the bottom end.  Three clouds were die cut with the Up and Away Thinlet dies and the edges were sponged with Mint Macaron. They were attached to the tag with a glue dot.  The baby was added with dimensionals.

This tag was added to the card front with tombo- at an angle.

Tag 2:  Some  Pear Pizzaz glimmer paper was die cut with the oval die in the Timeless Tags Thinlets,  This was matted with a Whisper White oval tag that looks like sunrays. The center sentiment was stamped first and then die cut using the same thinlet. It was added to the Pear Pizzazz glitter backing using dimensionals. This unit was added to the Angle top tag using dimensionals.

The entire tag was attached to the card front with dimensionals, slightly overlapping the other tag, again at an angle

A 1/4" Mink Macaron double bow was added to the tag fronts.

The card base is Mint Macaron, layered with Whisper White, and then a piece of Whisper White stamped with Mint Macaron ink and the background stamp "Brush Strokes"

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Moon Baby, That's the Tag, Brushstrokes Background

Inks: Black Memento, Mint Macaron, copics

Papers: Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz glimmer paper, Up & Away DSP

Accessories: Up & Away Thinlets, Timeless Tags Thinlets, 1/4" Mint Macaron ribbon, Angle top tag punch, dimensionals, glue dots

Now it is your turn to create something using this sketch.  As usual you have 2 weeks to make something.  When done, upload it to the Try Stampin on Tuesday blog or its Facebook page. While you are either site, take some time to check the work of the other designers and leave them some comments.

You Brighten My Day

Sale-a-bration is in full swing, and the stamp set and DSP I used are free with an order of $60.00 or more.
"You Brighten my Day" - isn't that what friends are all about?

The image was stamped with Memento ink onto White cardstock.  Then coloured with blendabilites - Daffodil Delight.  It was punched with the 1 3/4" circle punch, and layered with a Daffodil Delight die from the Circles framelit using dimensionals. It was then attached to a Coastal Cabana  window die cut using the Windows framelit.

The base card is Coastal Cabana, layered with Whisper White, and then You Brighten My Day DSP (SAB).  A smaller piece of the same DSP was matted with Soft Suede cardstock, and attached to the card, with a strip of Soft Suede laying across it.  The Soft Suede piece was embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing folder and a piece of Coastal Cabana ribbon (part of the Best Year Ever  accessory pack  SAB) spanned across it.  I also made a ribbon from it and attached it to the right side of the card.
The buttons are also from the SAB accessory pack.

Sweet as a Button - The Friday Mashup #20

The challenge - combine a cupcake with buttons.  See blog here
I decided to make a telescoping card - using the tutorial by Julie Davison http://juliedavison.com/Tutorials/1108_TelescopingCard.pdf

After making all the pieces I needed to make the telescoping card, I stamped the image of a cupcake from "Crazy for Cupcakes" onto Whisper white cardstock - twice.  Both images were cut out.  One image was left intact - the other the icing was detached from the cupcake bottom.
The icing was coloured with a Daffodil marker; the cupcake base with Tempting turquoise, highlighted with Pacific Point.  The candle was also coloured Tempting Turqoise - the flame Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight.
Using stampin dimensionals the icing was mounted on top of the intact cupcake.
Now for the buttons.  With the floral itty bitty punch, 5 shapes were punched with Melon Mambo and attached to the underside of similar shaped Bitty buttons.  A rhinestone was attached to the top of the button and the button unit was attached to the cupcake icing with a glue dot.  Itty bitty bits flower stamp was stamped with melon Mambo ink around the periphery.  Some dazzling elements was applied to the center of this tiny flower.

 Here is a side view of the cupcake with the button units on the icing










The telescoping card is open displaying the back side.  The top circle is a 2 3/8" Scallop circle - in Melon Mambo card stock.  A piece of 3/8" Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon folded in half is attached at the top with a brad. 

The middle circle is Flirtatious designer paper - 3 1/2".  The tempting Turqoise flower covers the back side of a brad.

The bottom and largest circle is a Scallop circle  in Melon Mambo. Each scallop was pierced with a paper piercer and mat pack.  A 3 1/2" Whisper White circle is mounted on this scallop circle.

The Itty Bitty Bits floral stamp was stamped with Melon Mambo ink around the periphery of this circle, and the cupcake mounted in the middle.  The sentiment is from Petite Pairs.

This is the other side of the telescoping card. The 1 3/4" whisper white circle has a balloon on it.  Dazzling diamonds covers the balloon.  This top scallop circle is attached to the middle circle which is the Flirtatious Designer paper with a white doily glued to the middle - with a silver brad

Now you see the other side of the large scallop circle.  The 2 3/8" Whisper White cardstock has the birthday sentiment stamped on it, as well as an Itty Bitty Bits cupcake stamp stamped around the periphery.










This is the front (other side) of the telescoping card as it is closed up.
