simply stampin' challenge week 47

This week it is another colour challenge over on the Simply Stampin' Challenge blog. I've been looking forward to this one - its time to flaunt your girly side and get down with the pinks and purples. Here we go...

These colours match some of the papers in Stampin' Up!'s Flirtatious DSP so I thought it was time to whack it out and get cracking! If you don't have all the colours listed, no worries, just use the closest ones that you do have!

Doilies and Butterflies

Stamp Set: Teen Tiny Wishes
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo
Cardstock: Whisper White
DSP: Flirtatious
Big Shot: Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Top Note
Accessories: Pearls
Extras: Colour Spritzer, Sponges

So I wanted to try something different and I had the idea that I wanted to use the top note negative as a mask so that I could sponge the top note shape onto the card. I then sponged the masked area with Pretty in Pink ink. Next I tacked down one of the doilies from the die cut sheet in the Flirtatious paper and using the Colour Spritzer and my Melon Mambo marker I spritzed it well to give the doily outline! I was planning on using the correct side of the Mambo doily next to the spritzed one but it was a bit too dominant - then I had an idea - to cut out the centre of the doily and use what remained as a frame! Inside I stamped the sentiment and then used the butterflies embosslit to cut some cute little butterflies from the Flirtatious DSP. I added some pearls to finish it off.
I thought it would be a shame not to use the centre of the doily so I used it to decorate the inside of the card and added a couple more butterflies!

Wow long explanation today - sorry about that! So what do you think? I hope you liked it! Please leave me a comment and then head on over to the Simply Stampin' Challenge blog to see the rest of the design team entries and then enter yourself! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Happy Stampin',

flirtatious speciality

Just a quick post today. A CAS of a card I found here but nobody's name so if this is your design - please take credit! So I found itonline when I was looking for inspiration for cards  to make using the new Flirtatious designer paper. Folding the paper gives the dsp a bit of a different look and more body! I liked it so much that I decided to do the card as a demo at my Hostess Catalogue Preview party a few weeks ago - they all loved it too!

flirting some more...

I am in love with the ultimate girlie new DSP Flirtatious Speciality at the moment. 

Flirtatious Just for You

Stamp Set: Just Believe

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White

DSP: Flirtatious Speciality 

Punch: 1 3/4" Circle

Another really simple card showing off the gorgeous doilie patterns in the new Flirtatious DSP. I punched out 6 circles of DSP and adhered them to the card base. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Whisper White and Pretty in Pink as a banner over the top of the circles. This card really shows off the lovely patterned paper. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card, come back tomorrow for another look at some of the new products!

feeling a little flirtatious

So another card today using some of the new products from Stampin' Up! Today is the GORGEOUS flirtatious Speciality designer paper! It co-ordinates with the Delicate Doilies stamp set and is just beautiful shades of Wisteria Wonder (another of the brand new in-colours this year), Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty in Pink and Daffodil Delight. The papers are just packed full of beautiful doilie shapes including 2 12x12 sheets of laser die cut doilies! This is definitely a double dose of all girlieness! Love it!

Hello Flirtatious Doilie

Stamp Set: Pennant Parade

Ink: Melon Mambo

Cardstock: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink

DSP: Flirtatious Speciality

Accessories: Pearls

I cut out one of the die cut doilies from the sheet, if you cut carefully there's plenty to use and you won't waste any of the other doilies. I decided it looked stunning enough by itself and therefore left the card very simple, just adding a sentiment to the bottom right hand corner and accenting the card with a few pearls. The centre pearl also cunningly hides the dimensional popping the doilie off the card base.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and card using some beautiful new DSP. If you liked this card using the Flirtatious DSP stay tuned over the next few days as I have more Flirtatious goodness coming your way! Please do leave a comment and let me know what you think. I really do love reading them! 

 Come back tomorrow for another creation! 

Happy Stampin',
