Painted Pineapple #keepstamping

Hey all! I have FINALLY made it back to the stamp room. Crazy times for sure. Staying home except for work and one shopping trip per week. Enjoyed having both boys home for Mother's Day weekend (first time in a very long time!). We've also gotten the garden in and about half mulched with grass, flowers planted and #2 son graduated from College! Super proud of him, just wish things were open so he could find a plan for his next chapter and get started!

I spent this rainy weekend sorting the retiring items out of my collection to focus on the new catalog which starts very soon! Left them in sight so they can still be used though! Some will stay, some need to be parted with!!

OK, today's creation for one of the Stampin' Up! #keepstamping challenges. Use something from the retirement lists. How about a few "somethings"! Two versions below.



Using the retiring sets Painted Harvest and Colorful Seasons, and retiring In Colors Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover and Lovely Lipstick. Not a new layout for me, but definitely a new color combo!


Same except for the leaf image used. Card base is Pineapple Punch, accent layer of Lovely Lipstick and background of Shimmery White. Stamped the flower "background" in Pineapple, top layer in Lipstick, center in Smoky Slate and leaf in Call Me Clover. Dots over the center of the flower and random accents are also Smoky Slate. Ribbon knotted around in Pineapple Punch.  Very bright and cheery, love how it came out!

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope to be back soon and more regular!

Painted Harvest Color 3

Happy Monday all! Yes, I know there isn't such a thing :) Here is another creation with the most recent color challenge from SU! I told you I liked them! This was in my mind to try before the French Foliage one and the colors work as well here as they did there!


Remember we have Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. This is the Painted Harvest set flowers with a saying from Rooted in Nature. Familiar layout again!


You all know this is a favorite set for me, and as I say frequently, SO Many Color Combos will work with it!! Card base here is Early Espresso, accent layer of Pretty Peacock behind a (Shimmery, non SU!) Vanilla background. I stamped the flowers first, Pool Party for the "background" petal, Pretty Peacock for the "center" petal, Early Espresso for the Flower center and dots and Crumb Cake leaves. Thinking of you also in Early Espresso. Random dots some full strength, some stamped off once. Linen thread wrapped around the left side and knotted. Edge sponged lightly with Crumb Cake.

Quick and easy! Thanks for stopping by again today!! Product details and shopping links below!

French Foliage Color 3

Morning all! Hope your weekend is going well. All is good here, getting stuff done around the house and in the stamp room :) Love it when the ideas are running around in my head!

Here is the second card I did for the 3rd SU! Color Challenge to #keepstamping.


The retired French Foliage set has always been a favorite and it's been hanging around the stamp table since the last garage sale. I happened to see it the other day and thought it would be perfect with these colors. Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. Very happy with this one!!


I didn't necessarily want the blues to be the primary color, so I went with Early Espresso for the large leaf and started stamping. Added in the rounder leaf in Pool Party and the smaller one in Pretty Peacock. Stamped and alternated until the background was full. Then I grabbed the dots and went all over in Crumb Cake, some full strength, some off once. Once all done I put the entire background through the Subtle Embossing folder. Click to see if you can see the detail, it now looks like textured cardstock. Trimmed to size and added to an Early Espresso accent layer. The Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen ribbon was the perfect accent before adding to the Pretty Peacock card base. Tag is from the Painted Labels Die set, saying from Peaceful Moments. Attached over the ribbon with Mini Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by! #keepstamping I'll be back, I have several more cards in que! I broke into some old things yesterday and I'm having a lot of fun with this! Lots of cards to mail too! Shopping links and product details below!

Ornate Color Challenge 3

Happy Friday all! Another week in the books! Crazy weather here - snow yesterday into the night, but things are looking up for the weekend. And back to more Spring like weather!

Here is my first creation with the new SU! Color Challenge. I knew I liked these colors :) I have several coming your way!


The colors for the #keepstamping challenge of the week are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. Oh, the possibilities!!



I had stamped this last week when I first broke out the Ornate Style set, so I grabbed it and some Stampin' Blends. We don't have Early Espresso so I used it as more of an accent with the Stampin' Write Marker. Leaves are Crumb Cake, small flowers Pool Party, large flowers Pretty Peacock. Center accents of Early Espresso also dotted with a touch of Shimmery Crystal Effects. The 'label' die from the Painted Label Die set was stamped with the Thanks and my friend from the new Ornate Thanks set. Attached with dimensionals. Card base Pretty Peacock, accent layer of Early Espresso and background of Shimmery Vanilla (not SU!). I like this stamp, despite the coloring! Not always my first choice but also sometimes therapeutic!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy weekend!! Product details and shopping links below. Stop back, there are several more shares in que!

Daisy Lane Colors

Hey all, Happy Wednesday! More shares from me :) Are you joining me in trying to #keepstamping? I was on a roll Monday afternoon, we'll see what the rest of the week brings!!

Here are a couple cards I colored for the next challenge from Stampin' Up! I love the Smile and Friend stamps in the Daisy Lane set, so this time I decided to use the flowers too! The challenge this week is Night Of Navy, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie. I struggled briefly with this, as Pumpkin Pie to me says Fall. But then I decided flowers come in all sorts of colors! Two different versions, read the details below.



This one is true to challenge with the colors. I used the regular Stampin' Write markers to color the flower and stem images that were stamped with StazOn ink. Pear on the stem, Navy flower centers and Pumpkin petals. I tried to go lightly and leave some white space. I also took the fine line and went over a few areas for accent. Card base is Very Vanilla, accent layer of Pumpkin Pie and background of Thick Very Vanilla. Sweet and simple! #simplestamping


For this one, I reached for Stampin' Blends. We do not have Pear Pizzazz so I switched to Old Olive for my green. The flowers here are stamped with Memento ink. I generally go over most all the area with the light color first, then accent with the darker and finally blend over where they meet with the light again. These flowers pop to me compared to the other. I did the center with the light Navy and only added a bit of dark before blending again. Flower petals all light, then the outside with dark and blend. Coloring is generally not my thing, but sometimes it just works :) Same cardstock here as above.

Thanks for stopping by today! One more post for sure this week so stay tuned! Let me know if you have any questions or I can help with anything!! Product details and shopping links below.
