Love Sparkles

Here’s another stamp set that you need to grab quickly – it, along with the rest of the 2016-2017 is only available for SIX more days and some of the products are selling out. Love Sparkles is down to low inventory and you need it. Here are a few of the cards that I’ve made with it:

The Festive TIEF isn’t going to be available after Tuesday either – it’s on sale for $6.80.

I think I’ve only used two sentiments from the retiring set Love Sparkles, but I’ve used them a lot! The big sparkly Celebrate is perfect for the front, or indeed the inside, of a celebratory card. And it pairs beautifully with the gorgeous Fruit Stand DSP.

Here I’ve put a leftover piece of the DSP onto a pumpkin pie base. Actually pumpkin pie isn’t one of the colours noted as being in this paper – the official oranges are peekaboo peach and tangerine tango but due to the watercolour nature of the paper, pumpkin pie is actually a better match. I wouldn’t have dreamed of going outside the lines and picking a different colour three years ago, but since I’ve been carding, I’ve become more comfortable in my colour choices. And pumpkin pie works.

I like the thin border around the paper and then the plainness of the card base with the fun banner straddling the two. I’ve used pumpkin pie for my Love Sparkles greeting and popped it up on dimensionals. And of course the triple banner punch to make the banner.

Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper

2 Replies

I was looking at my DSP, which rightfully is probably a mountain and wondering why I don’t use it much. I certainly look at it a lot. But what good does that do anybody? I can still still look at it if I’ve made it into a card and shared it here but there’s loads that hasn’t been cut. So I hacked into another piece from the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper.

I had thought that this paper was a bit loud for a full layer but as a partial layer, it’s gorgeous. It’s 3.5 inches wide with a daffodil delight mat which is 1/8 inch bigger. Due to the watercolor nature of the paper, some of the colors are blended together or paler than usual so I not all of the official colors worked as a mat. The daffodil delight is perfect though. And although the watermelon wonder didn’t work as a mat, it is perfect for the greeting which comes from Vertical Greetings, a set that I’m thrilled is in the new catalog. I’m also happy that the thick whisper white which I used here as a base, must’ve been a hit since Stampin’ Up! is introducing thick very vanilla.

Fruit Stand DSP

This is one of my favourite papers from the 2016-1017 catalog, the Fruit Stand DSP. And this is my favourite paper from within this stack. The lemons are so beautiful. The Fruit Stand DSP is still available at the time of writing, but there are no guarantees.

I took a piece of pear pizzazz and cut it to a quarter inch under the card base ( 5 1/4 by 4 inches) and then took the DSP and cut it to an 1/8 inch under that. Before gluing everything together I cut out the big sentiment using the Hello You framelit dies out of pear pizzazz and then stamped the greeting in more pear pizzazz onto the DSP. I glued on the sentiment using my silicone craft mat, a dauber and multi purpose glue. The card base is daffodil delight. I am sad that the Hello You dies are retiring, I use them quite a bit. But I’m sure that there will be things to replace them.

Fruit Stand DSP for FMS challenge

2 Replies

I was making Christmas cards yesterday to include in hostess packages that I’m mailing out and I want them to be a surprise so I’ll share them later on. Let me know if you’d like to host a party and I’ll send you one too!  Today’s card is inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and I’m impressed that I’m sharing it the day before the challenge closes rather than the day that it does! I decided to use the Fruit Stand DSP which I haven’t used lately and it really should get me out of my Christmas card making rut!

Here’s the challenge banner which inspired my card:

I just love this paper, isn’t it gorgeous? The colours of the watercoloured paper are beautiful but when I checked the colours of the Fruit Stand DSP, the oranges mentioned were Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango. Neither really worked – the first was just too bright and the second fought to be the star of the show. But Pumpkin Pie does work; it gives a border that doesn’t try to take over the card. I cut out the piece of Fruit Stand DSP with the largest but one from the banners framelits dies and then cut out a pumpkin pie mat with the largest. And the border was just too big – now that we’ve been spoiled with the layering dies, the border just looked too chunky. So I lined up the bottom of the banners where I wanted them, glued on the DSP and then used my trimmer to cut down the pumpkin pie card stock to match.

The Hello is from the Hello You thinlits dies and cut out in the lush copper foil. I did consider the gold but the copper works best.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
