Challenge Stamping 411 #226

Okay, it's getting serious now. It's the end of October and I have to get going on my Christmas Cards. What are you doing this year? I would love to hear from each of you about your ideas for Christmas cards. What stamp sets are you using, dsp? Things like that.

This card went together very fast. I used the blossom petals builders punch for the petals of the flower and the leaves. I punched a scrap piece of card stock with the 1 1/4" circle punch to glue all the petals to and after the flower was constructed I sprayed it with smooch spray. The center is a 3/4" circle of brushed golf cs with the basic pearls put on it. The dsp is from last year Jolly Holiday dsp I think is what it was called. I also used the Dotted scallop ribbon border punch on old olive cs for my ribbon element. I love that punch, turns any card stock into a ribbon and it's flat for mailing.

A pack of dsp really goes a long way. I had a class using this paper and made several cards and still have six sheets that aren't even cut yet. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs. The colors are Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive with Very Vanilla

Build a Blossom

• Here is a little card I made after seeing Dannie Graves make a card on her blog. I love how this turned out. The Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder adds so much to the background paper, and the Scallop Trim Border adds another touch of detailing.
• It's a snap to put this together using the Build a Blossom stamp set and the Blossom Petals punch, together they are an unbeatable combination. Both can be found in the Occasions Mini Catalog that is good through April 30.
• The three silver brads were very easy to line up, I used the dots on the paper.
• The colors for the Card Stock are Melon Mambo, Marina Mist, Wild Wasabi, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White
• The ink colors are Melon Mambo and Old Olive
• It measures 4 1/4" square.

Build a Blossom TOY

Build a Blossom stamp set and Blossom Petal punch is turning into a favorite of mine. It's so easy to use and the results are dramatic.

• Here I have started out with whisper white card stock and stamped the base blossom in pretty in pink 
• then rich razzleberry on top of that for the details in the petals.
• Old Olive card stock was run through the big shot with the perfect polka dots embossing folder.
• Photo corner punch in pretty in pink and rich razzleberry
• the 2 x 1 3/8 oval punch in rich razzleberry
• Stamp Thinking of You in rich razzleberry and punched it out with the scallop oval punch.
• The center of the flower was stamped in white craft ink on rich razzleberry card stock then punched out with the 3/4" circle punch.

Build a Blossom in Daffodil

Sale a bration is such an exciting time. When you want stamps and supplies this is the time to get them. For every $50 you spend at Stampin' Up you earn a free item. That can be a stamp set or some other items listed in the sale a bration catalog. How easy is that?

Here I have made a card using the new Build a BLossom stamp set and the Blossom Petals Punch. It is so fun to stamp and punch. I love it and I bet you will too.

• This card was made with Dafodil Delight card stock and ink.
• Night of Navy ink for the center and accent on the strip
• Eyelet border punch was used for both the DD strip and the card stock weight vellum layer, which was run through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.
• Old Olive card stock got used for the little leaves
