I made this card as part of the OWH Stars and Stamps Sketch Challenge #5. You can see details at the post.

I started with a 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ Pretty in Pink base. Then I cut two 1 1/4″ X 2 1/2″ and one 1 3/4″ X 2 1/2″ strips from the Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper. This was a great way to use up some scraps from Valentines. I adhered these three strips to a piece of 3″ X 4 1/4″ Chocolate Chip cardstock. I tied a piece of Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon to the whole Chocolate Chip layer. I knotted a second piece of the ribbon around the first to make a quick and easy bow, securing the bow with Mini Glue Dots, and then adhered the whole thing to the Pretty in Pink base.

I stamped the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Chocolate Chip ink on another piece of the Sending Love Paper and punched it out with the Scallop Oval. I adhered this to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Cute and quick!

I made this card as part of the Operation Write Home Stash Challenge. The instructions were to create a card using two patterned papers and a button. This morning, I came across this card and used it as my inspiration.

I started with a 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ Pretty in Pink base and added a layer of 4″ X 5 1/4″ Whisper White card stock. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch on a 1 1/2″ X 3 3/4″ piece of polka dot Pretty in Pink from the Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack. (I used the punch, then I trimmed the paper to 1 1/2 X 3 3/4″.) I cut a piece of Old Olive paper from Pawsitively Prints to 3 3/4″ X 3 3/4″. I adhered both of these pieces to my Whisper White layer.

I then used the 1 3/8″ Circle Punch to punch out five circles from the same Pretty in Pink polka dot paper. I used the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch to punch a circle of Old Olive card stock. I arranged my circles to form a flower petal with the Old Olive circle in the center. I ran a teeny piece of Old Olive card stock through the button holes of a generic hot pink button and attached that to my flower with a Pop-Up Glue Dot.

I punched out the Scallop Square Whisper White square and stamped the Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Old Olive in the center on the diagonal. I trimmed the ends leaving only the center. That’s a trick I picked up from Kate, that is perfect for the sentiments in the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I attached that to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered all of that to my Pretty in Pink base with Snail Adhesive.

This was a fun, quick Mother’s Day card showing off patterned paper.

This is possibly the largest and most labor-intensive card I’ve ever made. I’m really kind of proud of the fact that I made this.

I made it for a friend’s little boy and I love the color combination. I was inspired by the design and colors in this card. I thought it was perfect for a little boy.

I started with a 12″ X 12″ piece of Chocolate Chip Textured Card Stock, scored at 6″ and folded in half. I layered a 5 3/4″ x 11 3/4″ piece of Kraft card stock. Next I cut out a piece of 3″ x 9 1/2″ Real Red Cardstock and layered a piece of 2 3/4″ x 9″ Chocolate Chip Textured card stock on it. I next cut a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock to 2 3/4 x 3 3/4. I used the Small Heart Punch to punch out three small hearts to peek the Bermuda Bay card stock through. I attached my Bermuda Bay card stock to the Real Red and Chocolate Chip layer. I ran a piece of 5/8″ Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Ribbon around my Kraft layer and attached it to my Chocolate Chip base. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals and attached the Real Red/Chocolate Chip/Bermuda Bay layer. I love the popped up look on the Kraft layer.

Then, I used the heart trio from the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set with VersaMark ink on Real Red, Bermuda Bay, Green Galore and Pumpkin Pie card stock. I then used Clear embossing powder and the Heat Embossing Tool to give the hearts dimension and shine. I made two sets of each color. I attached the hearts to the Chocolate Chip layer with a Glue Stick and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the dotted heart from the same set in Chocolate Chip onto Green Galore card stock. I inked the polka dot heart with VersaMark and stamped it inside the dotted heart. This was so easy to do using the new clear mount stamps and blocks! I layered a Bermuda Bay embossed heart inside the polka dot heart and popped up a small Real Red embossed heart inside that. I attached a Chocolate Chip mini library clip to the whole ensemble. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach to my card.

Next, I used my card stock colors, the Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlets dies and the Big Shot to die cut the letters for the name.

I tied some twine in the Real Red large buttons from the Playground Designer Buttons set. I attached these to the Bermuda Bay layer with Pop-up Glue Dots.

Then I stamped the love you sentiment from Short and Sweet and the valentine’s sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Real Red.

I had a ton of fun making this card and am really proud of my results! It’s so easy to color coordinate with Stampin’ Up!’s line of papers, inks and accessories.
