Coordinating Cards

As promised, here are the coordinating cards for the Hawaii Papaya accordian box I made yesterday. 

Above is set #1, that I chose to do with a Chocolate Chip card base.  Below is set #2 using Tangerine Tango as a card base.

These simple cards showcase the beauty of the Hawaii Papaya Designer Series Paper (DSP). Check out this cool chart to see what colors coordinate with this and other Stampin' Up! DSP. 

NOTE:  The new Stampin' Up! catalog will be released in 8 short days... I will update the chart accordingly to reflect the new DSP.

For these cards, I used the stamp set "Say it With Scallops".  This set is made to use with the scallop square punch.  No cutting required, just insert your image and pop out the scalloped square.  Easy and fun!

You can see individual images of these cards in My Kreations Gallery. 

Like what you see?  Then order the Hawaii Papaya DSP today, before it retires and you can't buy it anymore.  Check out the other retiring accessories, by clicking here.

Pretty Papaya Paper

I am taking a little break from Christmas projects today to show you this Kreation.

Last week, I participated in the Ways to Use It Challenge (WT196).  In this challenge, we were to use half of a stamp image.  I chose the "Say it With Scallops" stamp set  (item  #111678) and inked the image up three times in Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss & Tangerine Tango. 

Then I used my paper trimmer to slice off the "hi" portion of the image.  Pulling out the Hawaii Papaya Designer Series Paper (item #112460), I color coordinated the rest of the card. 

The sentiment is from "Heard from the Heart" (item #111644) and is inked in Chocolate Chip then perched atop a punched out Kiwi Kiss large oval.

Simple card, no frills, but fun result focused on pretty paper - what do you think?

I'll be flat out honest here - today's card is not one of my favorites.  To me, all I think of when I see it is those old rotary dial phones.  BUT I did try a new technique, so I am proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone.

The technique was to create a decorative circle medallion.  Check out the details of this challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

Using the stamp set "Party Hearty", I stamped the center image in Pacific Point.  The base of the card is also Pacific Point, and layered on top is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Hawaii Papaya collection. 

I chose a contrasting color - Tangerine Tango to use on this card as well.  I do love the bold brights collection.

TIP:  Use this handy chart to help you coordinate cardstock with DSP.  I use this chart nearly every time I sit down to stamp.

I am my worst critic... so, what's the Buzz - what do YOU think about this card?  Bee honest!  Constructive criticism is always helpful.
