Dies and Punches and Paper Oh My

Hi everyone
Today's Saturday and I rarely ever get to play on Saturdays. When hubby's home, stamping is a no no. but guess what. He's working over time!!!! And I shall play. I'm breaking out dies and punches and pretty papers. What a mess I've made. but I'm having fun and I've two hours to go. So I'm playing along with two challenges and I've got two projects. Lets see I'll start with
Try Stampin' On Tuesday  what a great sketch



I've turned it on its side. I didn't do much stamping. But sure was fun. Lots and lots of layers. Here is what I created.


All my supplies are from Stampin' Up except dies mentioned.  Flowers and leaves were die cut using Spellbinder dies and  2010-2012 in colors DSP. The flower centers were punched out of scraps using the hobo flower punch and another flower punch that's retired . The buttons and bow came from my scrap box. I also used the scallop border punch and perfect dots folder. The little bit of stamping was done using Poppy parade ink, Itty Bitty Banners and matching framlits. My card base is Peach Parfait and the background is Whisper White. Here 's a close up of my flowers.


Now that was fun.

Okay next is
the Friday Mashup. This is Lisa's week. She found a beautiful photo to inspire us and the mashup challenge is to create a project using the photo or make a gift project. Or mash them together. As always I mashed them together.

I have a few photo to go with this post so bare with me.
First the package


Isn't it pretty. My supplies are all Stampin' up except the rose and leaves. they are from Spellbinder.
cardstock- whisper White, Bashful Blue, and Brushed Silver.
Inks- Bashful Blue and Pool Party
Stamp sets- Stars and Swirls perfect pairs
Dies and Punches- Extra large and large tag punches and Bitty Box Die.
Oh how pretty.
Next what's inside:


Isn't this pretty. Seeing how I made these last night at my club meet. I don't know the supply company's. I do know the snowflake is from Stampin' Up. We used alcohol inks, glossy paper, embossing powder and ink. Then sealed  with Crystal effects.



 I'm giving these to my sister and sisters in-law at our Christmas eve party this year.

I hope you like all my projects. Please stop by again soon.
 HAPPY STAMPING
