Playing with Totally Tess stamp set

Have you met Totally Tess?  She is part of a fun new stamp set from Stampin' Up!  I have been playing around with the pieces and yesterday took part in a challenge in a moms group I belong to.  The only guidelines were that it be an "Artist Trading Card" (2-1/2"x3-1/2") with blue/green/white.

• Tess is stamped in jet black StazOn on both whisper white and a bashful blue (retired) designer series paper
• Cutting out the shirt from the designer paper gives it a pattern [this technique is called paper piecing]
• Tess is colored with blush blossom, bashful blue, pretty in pink, more mustard, creamy caramel, certainly celery and basic black
• the tag shape is from the Modern Label punch
• sponging around the edge of the card with bashful blue before mounting on the certainly celery is an good way to add extra depth

I think there will be lots of ways to put Tess to work!  The set is available in the Occasions mini catalog until April 30, 2010.

Thanks for stopping by!

You can't see all the sparkles but the Sending Love specialty designer series paper is covered in glitter that feels embossed.  Very cool.

• very vanilla, chocolate chip cardstocks
• Sending Love specialty designer series paper*
• Very Vintage wheel*
• chocolate chip, melon mambo, pretty in pink ink and markers
• pretty in pink satin ribbon*

Quick Sweet Pea Gift

This was for a friend whose birthday snuck up on me. I was going to drive her to a dr. appointment and didn't realize it was actually on her day. Thanks to Facebook and hubby I found out and made this little box and card.  (It was also lucky I hadn't eaten all these chocolates!)

The box is 3"x3" and 1-1/2" tall so I made the card 2-3/4" square to fit inside.

Stampin' Up! supplies I used:

cardstock:  chocolate chip, whisper white, close to cocoa, old olive, pretty in pink, some retired close to cocoa/pink retired patterned paper

ink: pretty in pink, melon mambo, old olive, chocolate chip

stamp set: Best Wishes and More

accessories:  sweet pea stitched felt (love them!),  old olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, modern label punch

tip:  instead of coloring carefully with markers, stamp the flowers in pretty in pink on the card, then in melon mambo on extra cardstock. Use the 1/2" circle punch and punch out centers of melon mambo flowers to glue onto card OR attach with a stampin' dimensional for extra pizzazz

Four Ghiradrdelli chocolate squares fit in just right with room for the card on top.  The raspberry filled ones go well with pink ink/cardstock!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

My Digital Designer Scrap Page

This picture of my niece is one of my favorites!  I knew it needed a page of it's own and after seeing the sketch at Unscripted Sketches--today is the day.

• colors: ruby red, pumpkin pie, old olive, chocolate chip, soft suede

MDS Tip:  to get the patterned background I started with a ruby red base, then I overlayed the designer series background paper Pumpkin Pie Textile, changing the opacity to 20%

Have a great weekend!
