The Spot 118 Create Your Own DSP

Happy Tuesday! I am sorry I didn't blog last week, things got a little crazy with fires, a broken fridge and the kids! Have no fear I am back! We are only weeks away from fair. Taryn and Wesley will need to turn in record books soon!! We went fishing over the weekend and I got eaten alive by deer flies.  The kids had fun despite the heat.

Today I am designing with The Spot, we are creating our own DSP. If you don't know what DSP it is, it is Designer Series Paper. It is what those of us who are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators call it or those that are Stampin' Up! Savvy. I can't wait to show you my fun card that I have created with Ridiculously Awesome stamp set with some bright and cheerful colors! Lets take a look!

I had so much fun when creating this card! Who doesn't love the new In Color Magenta Madness?! It is a great pink that has allowed me to NOT USE Petal Pink! We all know how much I reach for the Subtles color family, but not with this card! I have put the Magenta Madness with Coastal Cabana, Mango Madness and Stazon Jet Black/Basic Black.  The Ridiculously Awesome stamp set was my favorite the minute I saw it! So many possibilities!!! I took the star stamp and created my Designer Series Paper by stamping it in all 4 colors. After I created my desired pattern, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the patterned piece of Whisper White. I have also used the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the Magenta Madness In Color DSP and made a fun Coastal Cabana frame. I layered these up wonky style (That is my official name for it) and added a bit of the Whisper White ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. The sentiment is White heat embossed on Basic Black then punched with the Label Me Lovely punch. I have adhered it to the bottom right corner with Stampin' Dimensionals and added a few of the Artistry Blooms Sequins. This fun and funky card is on a base of Basic Black!! 

I can't wait to see how you all make your own patterned paper

Creation Station Man After My Heart Hop

Happy Sunday! We decided to not go to the pig show today... a bit bummed but, the wind is down right crazy and there is nothing worse than feeling like you have 80 grit in your eyes! Mother Nature tried to provide some moisture but it just was not enough. Today our church has its first in person service since the pandemic started. To say that I am happy is understatement.

Today, I am creating and hopping with the Creation Station Design Team. We are creating masculine cards with the theme "A Man After My Own Heart". I was lucky because when our annual catalog went live on Wednesday, I was able to expedite things... So todays creation is made with goodies from the new catalog. When you look at today's card there is a chance you may not get it... But if you know me and know that I love a good play on words or country music, You will get it! rLet's take a look!

I can't tell you how many ways I envisioned making this card. If you haven't heard the song "Sunshine & Whiskey" you may not understand this card right away and that is okay! That was my inspiration for this fun card that started with the two whiskey bottles from the new stamp set Whiskey Business. They are colored with Cinnamon Cider and Pool Party Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut with my Paper Snips. The heat embossed gold sentiment is from Ronda Wade's Million Dollar Achiever set called Ridiculously Awesome. It was stamped on Whisper White and also fussy cut so that I could layer it over my whiskey bottles. My layer of Whisper White was stamped with Pool Party ink using another new set called Textured Essentials, this set is sure to please and his kind of hidden in the catalog! After I had that finished I layered a strip of wood designer series paper from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. The Bottles are adhered over this with our new Stampin' Seal (WHICH I LOVE). I used the Foam Adhesive Strips to adhere my sentiment and a few Gilded Gems to finish this off! 

I hope you enjoyed my fun and masculine card! If you haven't heard the song go find it! Next on the hop today is Kerstin, you can get to her by clicking the next button below. Need a list of the products I used, that is below the next button as well! Have a great Sunday!
