I am so excited and honored to be a part of the SCS Stampin' Up! Creative Crew! I hope you'll enjoy my projects and I am looking forward to seeing all of your creative works of art as well.
Baby Shower Sailboat Card
My first project is a baby card that I made for nephew and his wife, who are obviously expecting a baby boy. The focus of this challenge was to use one of the In-Colors that we will miss the most. I love Pear Pizzazz and love how it pairs easily with so many other colors.
For the body of the card I cut 1-1/2" down for the arms and 1" in. I used a 1-3/8" Circle Punch for the opening at the top and at the bottom. I then used a Scallop Punch for the accent pieces around the openings. I used some Pear Pizzazz DSP for the sail boat and body of the card. I punched one piece out using a 1-1/4" square punch and the other piece with a 1-3/8" square punch. I then cut each piece in half and used them for the sail. I used a 1-3/8" circle for the base of the boat and cut about 1/4" off the top, and then wrapped some white baker's twine around it. I think it turned out cute and hope you thinks so as well! Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Pennant Parade
Inks: Pear Pizzazz
Papers: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Pear Pizzazz DSP
Accessories: 1-3/8" Square Punch, 1-1/4" Square Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Word Window Punch, 1/4" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Mini-Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Scissors
Monochromatic Mother's Day Card
The second challenge was to make a card using flowers, and I decided to incorporate the flower theme into this monochromatic Mother's Day card that I made for my Mother-in-Law. Since I didn't have any Poppy Parade ribbon, I used a 12" strand of the Whisper White Organza Ribbon and dyed it used a Poppy Parade Ink pad and a sponge. I love our Whisper White Organza Ribbon just by itself and the fact that you can dye it to match whatever color theme you're using. I used the Boho Blossom Punch for the flowers and added a Whisper White brad in the middle. I got out my trusty ol' Singer sewing machine and added a sewed border. Here's a list of what I used:
Stamps: Just Believe, Teeny Tiny Wishes (saying)
Inks: Poppy Parade
Papers: Whisper White, Poppy Parade
Accessories: Big Shot, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, Boho Blossom Punch, Word Window Punch, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Whisper White Brads, Sponge, Dimensionals, Mini- Glue Dots, Scissors
Mom Scrapbook Page
My next project is a scrapbook page that I made of my mom, and this is my favorite picture of her. After I made this page I realized that I was suppose to use the in-colors.......oops! I thought the Beau Chateau DSP worked the best with this picture and the softness of Soft Suede. I loved, loved making the flowers for this page, and actually used the fab tutorial that Cathy Partlitsis has on her blog - which you can find HERE. The flowers are so simply to make and I used the Blossom Punch for the large flowers, the 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch for the smaller 2 flowers, and the Boho Blossom Punch for the little ones.

Mother's Day Free Standing Pop-Up CArd
And here is my last project, which is a Free Standing Pop-Up card. I have never made one of these babies before and it was quite simple. Mary Jo Albright has a a great tutorial on SCS and you can find it HERE. I went with a vintage look for this project and like how it turned out. I think this would definitely made a fun stamp camp project! Our new Simply Scored Scoring Tool made this card a breeze to score - I love the fact there are score lines every 1/8", and that the grooves are nice and deep so your stylus is less likely to slip out of them.
