Quint-Essential Flower

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2013 Stampin' Up!®

We made this card at last month's Stamp-a-Stack.  It uses 4 of the retiring colours: Pretty In Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and River Rock.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Subtles Paper Stack.  The focal point is the Quint-Essential flower which co-ordinates with no less than 5 different punches (I only used 3 for this card, but the possibilities are endless).  The greeting is from That's The Ticket and was punched using the co-ordinating Ticket Duo Builder Punch.

Faux Embossing Technique

The focal image for this card was made using the Faux Embossing Technique.  No embossing involved - just some White Craft Ink and Early Espresso Ink.  I've used the Forever Young and Petite Pairs stamp sets, with Whisper White, Early Espresso and Pretty In Pink card stock.  Punches used are Large Oval and Scallop Oval.  I also added a Basic Jewel Rhinestone for some bling.  You also need a stamp-a-jig for this technique.

Unconvention challenge 1

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2013 Stampin' Up!®

Some demonstrators who were unable to attend Convention this year decided to hold our own cyber event called Unconvention.  The first challenge was posted this morning and it was to do a water-themed scrapbooking page using the recipe of 4 photos, 3 colours, 2 embellishments and 1 Designer Series Paper (DSP).

My 4 photos are of Monaco's sea coast and I highlighted the title using some Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle.  My 3 colours are Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze and Whisper White.
My 2 embellishments are some Flower Trim dyed in Riding Hood Red Ink and 3 Large Basic Rhinestones.
My 1 DSP is from Twitterpated.

I used the Hearts frame-lit dies to die cut the central photo.

Summer Smooches DSP

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2013 Stampin' Up!®

The idea for this layout came from Paper Crafter's Library, although they used different DSP and a very different colour scheme.  I've used the Summer Smooches DSP and used Island Indigo card stock to matt the background page and the centre piece of DSP.  Other card stock I used is Lucky Limeade and Whisper White.  The buttons are from the Naturals Designer Buttons and I've threaded them using Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

Two-Toned Ribbon

Created by Lorna Images ©1990-2013 Stampin' Up!®

I really love the way this card turned out.  It has such a whimsical feel.  I wanted to use the beautiful two-tone ribbon from the current seasonal catty, so I used the colours in that - Pink Pirouette and Rose Red.  Stamp sets used are Petite Pairs and Papillon Potpourri.  Punches are Large Oval, Scallop Oval and Bitty Butterfly.  I've added some basic jewel pearls to the butterflies and the sentiment.
