Happy Watermelon

Hello Crafters,

I like Thursdays, they signal that the weekend is coming.

Today I have a 'Happy' little card to share with you.  It just makes me happy to look at this card.  Hope you feel 'happy' too!

This was a quick and easy card to make and I love the Clean and Simple look.  I was inspired by Tami White, another Stampin' Up! Demo (http://stampwithtami.com/blog).

Here are the details on this 'happy' little card.  As always all products are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.
Stamp Set:  Work of Art (Wood #134111 or Clear Mount #134114) and Yippee-Skippee (Wood #131341 or Clear Mount #131344)
Paper:  Whisper White (#100730) and Basic Black (#121045)
Ink:  Mossy Meadow (#133645) and Strawberry Slush (#131178)
Misc:  Small Heart punch (retired - sub heart from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack #133787) and Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)

The Work of Art stamp set is so versatile.  You can make a watermelon, sail boat, abstract butterfly and much more.  This is a real gem of a stamp set.  BTW, the watermelon seeds are the Small Heart punches cut in two ... another double duty tool.

Thanks for stopping by hope this brightened your day.

Make a Wish in Red

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy Wednesday!  I like the middle of the week.  I have another quick card to share with you.  When this stamp set (Perfect Pennants) showed up in the 2014 Occasions catalog, I knew I had to have it and the matching framelits.  This is a CASED (Copy and Share Everything), but I did not record and can't remember who I cased this from.  I did change it a bit as I did not have the ribbon the creator used.  Here is my version.

Here are the deets.  Again, all products are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.
Stamp set:  Petite Petals (Wood #133152 or Clear Mount #133155) and Perfect Pennants (Wood #133227 or Clear Mount #133230)
Paper:  Real Red (#102482), Whisper White (#100730) and Fresh Prints DSP Stack (retired)
Ink:  Coastal Cabana (#131175) and Real Red (#126949)
Misc:  Banner Framelits (#132173), Petites Petal punch (#133322), 1/2" Circle punch (#119869), Brights Candy Dots (#130931) and Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430)

Here is another card using the same design with different papers and Glitter Glue (JoAnn's).

This card is entered in the following challenge(s):
Catered Crop - Seeing Red
Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge - #48 - Anything Goes with a Twist - use some RED
