Starry Night Sky - SUO Challenge

Hello stampers!

Today's post is for the SUO Challenge - Make it Geometrical.  My geometrical shape if you didn't guess it, is STARS!

Starry Night using Stampin'Up! punches and ink
Something about this card just makes me wish for cool nights and star gazing with the family. It really came together pretty easy, the most difficult part was getting all the ink layered onto the card and making sure they blended. So the recipe for this card is as follows:  Using a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White, I started sponging on Soft Sky and Pool Party ink working my way up with Night of Navy and a touch of Elegant Eggplant at the top. I just kept layering on the colors until I was happy with the transition.  I wanted Silver Stars (but don't currently have any silver foil paper), I smooshed versamark ink onto some WW cardstock and embossed it with the Silver Embossing powder then punched out the stars with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch and a banner for my sentiment.  I actually embossed the sentiment onto the banner as well once it had cooled.  I added some small pearls and little dots with the Uni-ball White Gel Pen.  The standard A2 Whisper White card base is layered with a piece of black cardstock cut at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  I attached the stars with gluedots and popped a few up using dimensionals.  The sentiment was from Sweet Stuff and I popped that up as well.  I left the inside blank for my personal message.  All the products used for this card are linked below.

I hope you enjoyed today's card and thanks for stopping by.

Until next time....

Another Flower Patch Birthday Card

Ok, I think I am obsessed with this stamp set so much so, I actually had a dream last night about ways I could use it on things other than cards.  So unfortunately, or fortunately if you love this set as much as me, there will be additional posts using this set and matching framelits, but I will try to space them out a bit.  I have decided to enter this card in the Stampin'UP! Only card challenge.  The challenge is to show off any of your "new toys" and to use ONLY STAMPIN'UP! product of course.  You can check out my submission as well as others by clicking on this link SUO Challenge 102.  Now onto the details:


I stared with a standard A2 sized Card from Whisper White.  On another piece of whisper white, I stamped the flowers in So Saffron and Pink Pirouette and then the centers with Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride and leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzaz.  Flowers were then die cut with coordinating frame lits and the leaves were fussy cut.  Using the Labels collections framelits, I die cut the 3rd largest label from Blushing Bride cardstock and layered it with a whisper white Blossom Punch.  I inked up all the edges with Blushing bride to help make the images pop on the card a little.  For assembly, I took a 2'' piece of Lullaby DSP, then the label and blossom punch secured with snail and added a strip of crumbcake seam binding before attaching to the card base.  Once attached, I started adding my die cut flowers and leaves using glue dots and dimensionals.  I added a bow, some basic pearls and a bitty butterfly and viola!  Although you can't see it, I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting on the inside using the Peace, Love and Cupcakes stamp set.

All the supplies used are listed below.  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.
