Good morning! I've been wanting to use this absolutely
adorable stamp set and coordinating Clearlit from the Spring Catalog for a
while now and this week’s Friday Mashup challenge was just perfect for it! Take
a look!
- Stamps: Oh Whale, Sweet Essentials
- DSP: Polka Dot Parade
- Card Stock: Pool Party, So Saffron, Whisper White
- Ink: Pool Party, So Saffron
- Accessories: Happy Whale Clearlit Die, Sycamore Street Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Paper Snips, Scallop Trim Border Punch.
So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:
1. Make a project for a "Baby Shower or a Baby".
2. Or Make a project using the Colors "Pool Party, Real Red, So Saffron & a Neutral".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project for a "Baby/Shower using the Colors listed above".
I started off by cutting a piece of Pool Party card stock
4-1/4” x 11” and scored it at 5-1/2”. Next I cut a piece of So Saffron card
stock 3-1/4" x 4". I punched one 4" long edge with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.
Next I cut a piece of Real Red Polka Dot Parade DSP 2-3/4" x 4" and adhered it onto
the So Saffron card stock. I adhered this layer onto the bottom of the card
front with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I wrapped a piece of Pool Party
ribbon from the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button pack (that you can still get
for FREE during Sale-A-Bration) around the card front and tied it into a knot.
I stamped the whale from Oh Whale onto a scrap of Whisper
White card stock in So Saffron ink. Then I used the Clearlit die to cut out the
whale. There are some other fun shapes that the die cuts at the same time, but
the clear window in the die lets you perfectly center your stamped whale before
cutting it out. So easy! I stamped the alphabet spray in Pool Party ink on the
top of the card front where I wanted my whale to go. Then I adhered the whale
onto the card with a Stampin’ Dimensional and added a small Rhinestone for the
whale’s eye.
I stamped the greeting from Sweet Essentials onto a 1/2”
x 3" piece of Whisper White card stock in Pool Party ink. I cut the left side
of the strip into a dove-tail shape and adhered the banner onto the top of the
card front.
I love these bright fun colors together! Thanks Liliana
for the fun color challenge! Stop by the
Friday Mashup to see what the rest of the design team has created!
