Cyberstamp Challenge #2

The second challenge was a colour challenge.  We had to create a card, scrapbook page or 3D project using Pink, Black and White.  We could choose any pink. 

This is the card I created using Pink Pirouette. 

 

I also used the stamp set Together Forever – it’s one of my favourites!

A recent Stamp-a-Stack

These are the cards I designed for my last Stamp-a-Stack.  One of the ladies coming along wanted to make a wedding card, so I tailored the SAS around Tempting Turquoise and Basic Grey.  I thought the Tempting Turquoise lended a real “Tiffany’s” feel to the card … what do you think?

And the second card was designed for boys   And, so, you can see how a simple layout and colour scheme can be used for two entirely different cards.

The stamp sets I used for the wedding card were Fun & Fast Notes, Together Forever and Sincere Salutations.  Although you can’t see the Sincere Salutations, it was an option for anyone who wanted to make another type of card with Fun & Fast Notes and Sincere Salutations.

The boy’s card used the stamp sets Choo Choo (available in the Spring Mini), Short & Sweet and Fun & Fast Notes.

Something blue …

And last, but in no way least,  we have the “Something Blue” tag …

The gorgeous rose from A Rose is a Rose is stamped with the new In Colors, Pacific Point and Baja Breeze.   I’ve scalloped the side edges of the tag with my corner rounder punch (I know, I’m slack, I haven’t got the Scallop Edge punch yet!!).  Again, the “Something” came from the Sale-a-bration stamp set “Yummy” … I hope using the same “something” stamp will give all four tags unity.   The word “blue” also came from Wonderful Words again … and the ever-trusty Stampin’ Write marker pens!!  I used my Bashful Blue marker pen for the words.

The leaves were stamped with Kiwi Kiss and Always Artichoke … and I applied my favourite Dazzling Diamonds in the white pockets of the stamped images.  A little knotted bow of the new Pacific Point striped grosgrain ribbon finished off the rose and the top of the tag through a jumbo eyelet.

I hope the bride had a fantastic wedding day … and that she enjoys the tags and finds them a special keepsake for years to come.

Something borrowed …

Well, today is the day of the wedding I’d made cards for … I hope they have a lovely day!!

I’m sorry, I’m a bit behind on my two other “something” posts … so here is the “Something Borrowed”.  The idea for this little tag (or ornament) is certainly borrowed … I first found it on Shelli’s blog here and the creation is all Felicity Gray’s idea.  It’s a star tag … or star card, and it’s gorgeous!!  I found directions on how to make it on Julie Salva’s blog here, although I think I still made it a little differently!!  Thanks to everyone who inspired me to create this tag!!  The button is a great idea … so clever … as it holds the tag closed when pushed close to the tag, pull it along the string and it opens up the ornament!!

The colour combo I’ve used are Taken with Teal and Close to Cocoa.  There is a big square metal edge tag too … I love the metal tags!

The swirls are from the stamp set, Priceless, and “Something” is from the SAB stamp set, Yummy.  I also made good use of my markers again and Wonderful Words to put together the word “borrowed”.

I’ve used linen thread to loop it all together with a pink button …

Something new …

Sorry, I’m a few days behind in posting my “something new”. But, here it is!! This is the little gift tag to go with a “something new” gift …

I’ve used the new stamp set “Fresh Cuts” for the embossed silver flowers (or are they leaves??!! LOL). I’ve cut out the three flowers after stamping them in Almost Amethyst and used the Boho Blossoms punch to layer it with DSP (retired) … with a rhinestone brad for their centre.

I crimped the DSP … which was great fun (thanks for the lend, Chele!!) … and then had to match the crimping with some retired ribbon I had (I think it was called Flirty?) … and, sorry, the other ribbon is also retired. I really dug through all my ribbon to come up with something that suited the tag!

The words were great fun to create without an alphabet stamp set !!! The word “Something” was easy … it came from the Sale-a-bration stamp set Yummy. But the “new” came from Wonderful Favourites … and using my trusty marker pens with the stamp-a-ma-jig.

This is the tag opened up … a whisper white piece of cardstock is in the middle so that a little message may be written inside …

(late addition to my post) I just realised I was inspired for this three pieces idea from Shelli’s blog … Shalae’s post … here.  Thanks Shalae!!

This is the back of the tag … on the inside (above) it has been stamped with the message “for you” and the outside (below) has been embossed in silver:

I hope you like it! And I hope the bride likes it!!! Check back soon to see “something borrowed” …
