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.

For today's Kreation, I participated in a SCS sketch challenge (SC200) and color challenge (CC189) from last week. Playing catch up a bit after working on my son's birthday invitations and goody bags.
These colors just scream Neapolitan ice cream to me. Which would go perfectly with these yummy Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, and Chocolate Chip cupcakes. These little cakes are from the "Party Hearty" stamp set.
The base of the card is done in Pink Pirouette - one of Stampin' Up!'s new In Colors. Layered on top are two prints from the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper (DSP) collection.
I quickly stamped each cupcake and punched them out using Stampin' Up!'s square punch, then rounded each corner. I also used a punch for the tag that each cupcake is mounted to.
For an added punch.... I rounded the bottom corners of the large tag as well.
Hey! Did you notice those cute little paperclips on my card? They are part of the clips assortment, found on page 184 of the Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog (item #112580).
For $6.95 you get 24 pieces in the styled silver finish (see photo at end of post).
