SU Let Your Hair Down

January 30, 2015

Avery’s Friday Mashup #195

includes a sketch challenge with some added embellishments.

195f

I had not used my SU Let Your Hair Down Hostess set yet so I put it to work for me on this birthday card. I glammed it up with some retired gold paper and sequins that coordinated with the new Birthday Bash DSP in the Occasions catalog. I love the bits of gold confetti scattered on the paper- so festive!

This is my last post as part of the Friday Mashup Design Team. It has been a great year, and I am thankful to have worked with Holly Endress and the great gals on the team. They, along with all the awesome participants each, week have inspired me and challenged me to create week after week. I truly admire all of you cardmakers out there, and thank you all for the sweet comments you have left me over the last year. Blessings to you all!

SU Guy Greetings

January 26, 2015

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I had a few minutes to play with the

Pals Paper Arts #237 challenge before dinner so I thought I would share it with y’all.

ppa237

I used the new SU Guy Greetings stamp set with Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, and Very Vanilla cardstock.  I die cut my letters with the Little Letters Thinlits and then dry embossed them with the retired SU Lattice folder. I admit I took a little liberty with the sketch but was inspired by Nicole’s CAS sketch. Who doesn’t still say this when they need to screw/unscrew something or turn on/off the garden hose?

SU Something for Baby

January 23, 2015

Tara has asked us to create a baby card with sweet colors

at the Friday Mashup #194 this week.

194f

 This week’s Mashup Challenge is:

Create a project with a “Baby Theme.

Create a project  with “Brown, Aqua & Tangerine.”

or Mash it Up! and create a “Baby project with the above colors.”

SU Something for Baby FM

 I knew I wanted to use the SU Something for Baby stamp set with its adorable matching framelits. The colors from last year’s retired RetroFresh DSP fit the challenge perfectly. I was looking around for a baby sentiment and came across this AWESOME one in the SU Big News stamp set. I had overlooked it- it is so cute!!! The large sentiment  fit so well with the layout I was playing around with on the card front. Since the Paper Players #228 is all about the sentiment so I am sharing it over there.

  I added a few Soft Suede candy dots, and I was happy:)

Card Recipe:
STAMPS: SU Something for Baby, SU Big News
INK: SU Soft Suede, SU Tangerine Tango, SU Coastal Cabana
PAPER: SU Soft Suede, SU Tangerine Tango, SU Coastal Cabana, SU Retro Fresh DSP (retired)
ACCESSORIES: Soft Suede Candy Dots
TOOLS: SU Baby’s First Framelits, SU Stampin’ Dimensionals
