Kiddin’ Around for PP687

Happy Sunday, crafty friends!

Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!

This week, the lovely and talented Joanne is hosting our Sketch Challenge.

Sketch Challenge week is always my favorite! I love all of the layered elements on this one. It’s always fun to start with a “layout and see where your imagination goes with your craft supplies. So many possibilities.

I sure hope you will take this challenge for a spin and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!

*I’ve shared the measurements and a supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.

Color Combo:

As I was looking through my stamp sets to see which one spoke to me for this layout, stopped on the adorable Just Kiddin’ stamp set and coordinating dies. This bundle is currently in the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog but good news, it will be carrying over into the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, too. The new Annual catalog officially goes Live on 5/1/24.However, if you want the bundle pricing for 10% off, you won’t want to wait…because that will go away after 4/30/24.

One of my favorite things about this set is the coordinating Just Kidddin’ Designer Series Paper. This paper will be retiring on 4/30, so grab it while you can. :-)

I cut my little magician right from the paper with the coordinating die which is easy-peasy with no additional coloring required. The cheery colors and fun patterns totally worked with this sketch, too. This is just a fun card of encouragement and I love how it came together.

Card Measurements and Details:

Azure Afternoon card base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”

Finally a peek inside the card! I added another strip of the DSP along with a little strip of Daffodil Delight Cardstock, then stamped a coordinating sentiment and some stars to keep the party going from the front of the card.

This could easily be a birthday card, or just a card to let someone know that you think they are special. I think this would just be an uplifting card to find in your mailbox, don’t you?

Hooray for Surprises for PP682

Happy Sunday crafty friends!

Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!

This week, the lovely LeAnne is hosting our Sketch Challenge.

Sketch Challenges are always my favorite! I especially like layouts with repeated elements, so this one is definitely going in the file to use again and again. The squares and be any shape you prefer, so I had some fun layering them up for some added detail. I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!

*I’ve shared the measurements and a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.

Color Combo:

Picking the repeated focal elements turned out to be quite the decision for me. Haha! So many stamps to pick from. I finally decided on the little cakes from the Hooray for Surprises Bundle from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. This set hasn’t;t seen a lot of ink, so I decided this was the card to make that happen. I accented the cakes with itty-bitty flowers for more detail. That flower is tiny but it sure is cute!

I also used the little circle dies from the Everyday Details Dies and added the sentiment to the label from the Nested Essentials Dies. I really liked the polka dot pattern from the Lighter Than Air DSP pack, so that was starting point for the color combo. I also popped on a layer of white Textured Shimmer Paper and I just love the extra detail it adds in-person. The little Rhinestone Basic Jewels were the perfect finishing touch. Because let’s face it, birthday’s are better with some sparkle!

Card Measurements & Details:

Flirty Flamingo Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11, scored at 5-1/2”
Azure Afternoon Cardstock Layer: 4” x 5-1/2”
Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper Layer: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
White Textured Shimmer Paper Layer: 2” x 5-1/8”
Azure Afternoon Cardstock Layer: 3” x 3”
Basic White Cardstock Layer: 2-7/8” x 2-7/8”
Basic White Cardstock: scraps to die-cut (4) smallest circles from Everyday Details Dies, (1) smallest label from Nested Essentials Dies
Basic White Cardstock: scrap to stamp / die-cut (4) cakes and (4) flowers in Flirty Flamingo, Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lolly inks
Silver Metallic Combo Trim & Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I added a coordinating birthday sentiment from he Hooray for Surprises stamp set along with a strip of DSP to keep the party going from the front of the card. I finished it off with a trio of tiny hearts for a little touch of fun. This one is headed in the mail to a special friend this week!

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Sketch Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday March 29th, 2024.
