Two Fun cards for today

Here is the card I also cased from Stamp Muse.
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...;ppuser=177892 Love the polka dots so I used them also.
Changes:
Card size & Layout: I used full size card instead of a squares one
Colors: I used light Mauve Bazill dots, Rich Razzlesbery, White
Stamp: was from my stash by Sugarlof Products, Inc.
Ribbon - Polka Dot Rich Razzlesberry from SU

Thanks for this great feateured stamper.

This is a brayered background card for a swap I needed to make. I inked the brayer with my Stampin Spots in alternating stripes of pink and green, then added a few dots of yellow here and there and ran the brayer over that. Let dry and aseemble card. Very simple.
Recipe: Greeting from Stampin Up Upsy Daisy set
Paper: Pixie Pink, So Saffron, Green Galore, White, Tea Party DP
Ink: Pixie Pink and Green Galore
Accessories: Flower punch, Silk flowers, crystal gems

I needed a card for a black and white swap. Did not know what I wanted to do so searched the gallery and the light bulb came on quickly when I saw Clownmom's layout. I was on a mission then as it inspired me. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&cat=17303 Thanks Clownmom.

I just received this stamp set and wanted to use it really bad. Well I did not have paintchips on hand so DH and I headed off to the store. While there I think we found the dishwasher we want and are very much in need.

As you can see everything I used was is Black and white. I think it turned out really great. The paintchip goes from a dark gray to black.

Varigated Medallion

First off I will admit that I cased: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...?&si=WT231
I used my little stampin' spots to ink the medallion and then stamped it once full-colored and stamped again using the lightened version. Added some Rhinestones to the medallion and a sentiment

Stamps: Medallion SU
Paper: White and Tempting Turquoise
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Brilliant Blue, Green Galore, Glorious Green, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac
Accessories: Teal Ribbon. Rhinestones
Techniques: Using Variagated

Another Sketch

I liked the paper so much on the card below that I tackled another SCS Sketch challenge.

Recipe: Stamps - Razzle Dazzle
Paper- Tea Party DP, Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray, Certainly Celery, So Saffron.
Ink - Basic Gray
Very Simple anyone could do this one. The three gray squares are 3" and the tops are 2 3/4" each. Offset and it is complete.

Two Challenges in one Card

I made this card using two challenges posted this week - The Color challenge: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=453063 and teh Sketch Challenge: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=453293. Not often do I get to do even one challenge but thse both worked great this week.

Recipe: Bleached the chocolate chip with Upsy Daisy and one of the greeting in that set. Mounted to Certainly Celery but 1/2 inch longer for the button placement. The designer paper I used is SU Tea Party which is two-sided, just reversed for the smaller piece. These were mounted on the Chocolate Chip again and then on the Certainly Celery Card Base.

Be sure to checkout Splitcoaststampers.com for the instruction to links above and mnay other great ideas. There are hundreds of other bloggers there where you can pick up ideas also.

Recipe - Spinach Corn Salad

Another Recipe for those interested. This is a very good salad.

Today is my first day back to work after being off for 5 weeks. Wish me luck as we were supposed to be moved by now but things are packed and we are not moving now until the end of Sept. Will probably have quite a bit to do to get the place back in order.

Tree Trimmings #2 - Christmas in July

Here is another card I just made using the Tree Trimmings Stampin Up set. Love this little set.

Recipe: Tree Trimmings stamp set
Paper: SU Candy Lane DP, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa, Riding Hood Red
Inks in same colors to match
Embellished with: Silver Brds and a Senti-Metals piece that says "Merry Christmas"

This is a card I made for SCS swap "Christmas in July". I think I like these colors together. The patterned paper looks like wall paper with ornaments hanging in the window.

Recipe: Stamps: SU Tree Trimmings
Paper: SU Holiday Treasure DP, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Bermuida Bay, Chocolate Chip & Basic Black
Add Brown Silk Ribbon to the top for embellishment.
