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!

Fall Colorful Birthday

So, this one has been awhile in the works! Last Fall, somewhere around November I gave something away via Facebook and asked for a Fall Stampin' Up Color Combo. The winner chose Pretty Peacock, Terracotta Tile and Crumb Cake. I was very intrigued and decided to give it a try! Fast forward to this week, and the parts were still sitting on my desk. I decided it was time to finish it! Here it is


Love the way it came out! It's no longer Fall, but I have two birthday cards that will be awesome to send next Fall!

Card base is Pretty Peacock with an accent layer of Terracotta Tile behind the Crumb Cake background. On the background, I stamped the Crackle Paint background in Crumb Cake, large leaves in Pretty Peacock, small leaves in Terracotta Tile and open leaves in Crumb Cake. That is where I stopped in November and I wasn't real sure where it was headed or how I was finishing. Picked it up this week and decided the new tag die would be perfect. From the Painted Labels die set, page 26 in the Mini Catalog. I've used this several times already - it is perfect for adding sayings to cards! So I cut the label from Crumb Cake, stamped the Happy Birthday from Peaceful Moments on the right side and cut a Terracotta Tile leaf for the left side. That is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals over Pretty Peacock 1/2" Scalloped Ribbon which was knotted around the background/base layers.

Just Breathe

Needed this tonight...in so many ways! Long weekend with just too much today. Went immediately to the stamp room after dinner to create. Love the simplicity, and the message.


Inspired by the Color Throwdown colors of the week, even though I missed being able to enter. It was more about the creation and me time tonight. Here is their challenge block.


Orange, Brown, Moss Green and Cream. Or, in my Stampin' Up! World, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede, Mint Macaron and Very Vanilla.

Stamp set is Colorful Seasons with accent "dots" from Perennial Birthday. I stamped the saying first, then the large leaves in Pumpkin Pie, small leaves in Mint Macaron and then dots. Some full, some off once, some off twice. Final accent was some Faceted dots in Mint Macaron, but apparently they are retired (sorry!). Card base is Thick Very Vanilla, accent of Soft Suede and background of Very Vanilla. More #simplestamping

Thanks for stopping by today. Shopping and product links below. Back tomorrow eve with the next challenge at Color Throwdown where yours truly is the Guest Star Stamper.
