Stampin' Pink Rose

It Is Video Time Panel Card

Pamela April 14, 2017 April 13, 2017Video

As I said in the video this is a new way to shoot the video. I realize I need to turn the card around for you to see it. So this upside down, but think it shot okay otherwise. Please give me a comment about these video. I can always go back to the old way, but this way you get a close up.

I am using up the retiring Oh So Succulent paper. Your measurements are 5 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of card stock. Mine is Sweet Sugarplum. It is scored at 1 1/2″. 3″, 5 1/2″, and 8″. Your panels are #1( 1 1/4″ x 5 1/4″)print, #2 no panel added, #3 ( 2 1/4″x 5 1/4″) print, #4 (2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″) white, #5 (2 1/2″x 5 1/4″)print. Decorate as you wish.

It Is Time for a Color Challenge

Paper Players is out with another challenge. This challenge is requiring Mint Macaron, Perfect Plum, and Sahara Sand. So I am using so returning products and some that are not. You’ve Got This and Better Together stamp sets are not retiring. Along with Butterflies Thinlits. However, Perpetual Birthday Calendar and Falling Petals are leaving us. Two of the colors. … Perfect Plum and Sahara Sand are returning, but we will miss Mint Macaron.

I did this card as a Sympathy card as I always feel we are short on these type of cards. The Mint Macaron offers a smoothing effect. However, you can easily use it for a wide variety of occasions including Mother’s Day.

Tips and Tricks

Color: With Sympathy cards you need colors that work well together and give a calming effect. This is why Mint Macaron is so dear to my heart. It is also a neutral color for babies.

Stamp Set: As a reference above this card uses a mixture of stamp sets which tie the colors together.

You've Got This Clear-Mount Stamp Set Perpetual Birthday Calendar Photopolymer Stamp Set

You’ve Got This
Perpetual Calendar
Better Together (words)

Ink: I was able to use all of the ink colors. Again, this keeps everything in balance and tied together.

Perfect Plum

Sahara Sand

Paper: Now is when you don’t want to over do it in your paper colors. Your focal is your flower and butterfly.To make that your focal use Whisper White so as not to distract.

Embellishment: The butterfly I feel always needs something in the middle. It is your choice pearls or rhinestones.

It’s Mom Time

Welcome to the Families First Pals Blog Hop for April 2017. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about what to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or upcoming graduations. And, family vacations are just around the corner… how would you want to remember those special family moments? We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

I thought a Spring Basket for Mother’s Day would be perfect. So naturally I am going to use the Basket Bunch and the Basket Builder Framelit Die. I am sorry to see this retiring as this set is so versatile. At least the Petal Burst Embossing Folder is staying.

Tips and Tricks

Color: We need spring colors. So lets add to our Crumb Cake basket, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Sweet Sugar Plum.

Sweet Sugar Plum
Crumb Cake
Pear Pizzazz

Stamp Set: Basket Builder for the main focus and Oh So Succulent for the words.

Ink: This time I stayed with the colors of flowers and leaves. However, the basket was different. I used Early Espresso to bring the lines of the basket.
