Display Stamples - Mint Macaron

Hi stampers!  I'm back with my third group of "samples" from on stage.  This group was a bit easier for me as I really do like mint macaron and use it a bit more frequently than some of the other colors. This set feels a little more like "me" ;-)

Instead of coloring this guy I opted to paper piece him!  Easy and cute!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Love you lots (new hostess)
Paper: Whisper white, crumb cake, mint macaron, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack
Ink:  Basic black
Accessories: None!

Next up is a cute little birthday card that combines watermelon and mint, they work well together!
You'll have to excuse me but I can't for the life of me remember what stamp I used to color the cake but the ink blob is stamped and then I stamped the cake over it.  The stars are from the perpetual birthday calendar set.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Endless birthday wishes, perpetual birthday calendar
Paper: Whisper white, watermelon wonder, mint macaron, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack
Ink:  Basic black, watermelon wonder, mint macaron
Accessories:  Metallic foil doilies, 5/8" mini striped ribbon, silver sequin trim

My other two projects are Christmas in April because you know I love Christmas!  I kind of love this card and it was a great way to incorporate the ribbon and the in color DSP!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Oh what fun
Paper:  Whisper white, soft suede, mint macaron, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack, gold glimmer paper
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories:  Woodgrain and softly falling EFs, whisper white thick baker's twine, mint macaron 5/8' mini striped ribbon, perfect pines framelits

My final mint project is this Christmas tag.  I apologize for the poor quality of the picture, I totally forgot to take a better one of this one before I left but it did look rather cute up on the boards!  Too bad I didn't get a chance to take good pictures of those either, lol!  But this one uses a lot of accessories!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Peaceful pines, oh what fun
Paper:  Whisper white, crumb cake, real red, mint macaron, 2015-2017 in colors DSP stack, gold glimmer paper
Ink:  Crumb cake, real red, mint macaron
Accessories:  Scalloped tag topper punch, lots of labels framelits, perfect pines framelits, whisper white thick baker's twine, mint macaron 5/8" mini striped ribbon, basic pearl rhinestones, linen thread

Ok, that's three of the five colors down!  Make sure to check back for the other two.  And  check out our group Pinterest board to see all of the samples in one place (from around the world too)!

Happy stamping!

Display Stamples - Cucumber Crush

Hi stampers!  I'm sharing another group of my samples today.  I have to admit that cucumber crush is probably my least favorite or used in color in this group.  I don't know exactly what it is, I really love bright colors but this one is just too...bright...or something.  BUT, I have to say, I think I've embraced it a little more after being "forced" to use it ;-)  But don't be surprised if you still don't see much of it from me ;-)  The upcoming green is more my speed!

So, let's begin!  The first card is probably my favorite in this group and that shouldn't surprise you since I love christmas.  And I love the combo of cucumber, night of navy, and crumb cake!  I did quite a bit of sponging to tone the green down just a bit. And gold is the perfect accent!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Holly jolly greetings
Paper:  Whisper white, crumb cake, night of navy, cucumber crush, 2015-2017 in colors DSP stack, gold foil sheets, gold glimmer paper
Ink: Crumb cake, night of navy, cucumber crush
Accessories:  Softly falling EF, Christmas greetings thinlits

The next three cards are pretty simple, which is kind of a trend on my display cards.  I found it really challenging to stamp with only a partial carry over list of accessories so I kept them fairly simple.  Of course I've had about 1000 ideas since my flight out to SLC ;-)  This card combines the new ribbon with a carry over stamp set and the carry over in color DSP.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Flower flair, endless thanks
Paper: Whisper white, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack
Ink: Basic black, blushing bride, watermelon wonder, cucumber crush
Accessories: Cucumber crush 5/8" mini striped ribbon, pearl basic jewels, flower flair framelits

On this card, I used a new hostess set.  The frog was quite perfect for cucumber, no?  Again, I went simple.  The thick white baker's twine was also a challenge for me so I dyed it green here!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Love you lots, greatest greetings
Paper:  Whisper white, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack, watercolor paper
Ink: Black star on, cucumber crush
Accessories:  tags & labels framelits, thick white baker's twine, large polka dot EF

And finally, another simple card but I think it's tons of fun!  I'm happy to report that the party with cake stamp set and these cute dies are in the new catalog, hip hip hooray!!!!!  I especially like the two patterns here.  All I did was mount the die cut on the polka dot DSP and it's kind of like a shaker card without all the work!  Of course it doesn't shake but it's still cute!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Party with cake
Paper: Basic black, cucumber crush, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack
Ink:  Basic black
Accessories:  Party pop up thinlits

Ok, that's it for cucumber.  I'm working hard to get the rest of my photos edited and posted so stay tuned!

Happy stamping!
