Another Couple of Cards using Triple Play

I decided that I liked the Triple Play as cards SO much that I took apart the mini album that I had already put together for my display and cut it up to use it as cards too.  I LOVE these papers.....did I already mention that??  I can't decide if I like the little Hollyhock flowers, the little Sunset flowers OR the little Indian Corn Blue flowers better.  I do know that my sis loves little blue flowers, so I know where one of my cards will end up!

I pulled out a sheet each of Outdoor Denim and Indian Corn Blue along with my Colonial White CS to create these cards.  I also used Outdoor Denim ribbon from the Ribbon Round AND from the Mini Medley.  The buttons were from the Autumn Button Collection which will be retiring at the end of the year.  

This has been a fun little kit to play with!  But like most paper packs, I have grown tired of this little stamp set and the papers......my brain needs a break.  NOT saying that I am done using these stamps and the rest of the scraps.....just that I need to move on to something else for a bit.  Is that called ADD??  Sometimes I wonder if I have just a touch......

Here are the 2 cards.....I had a 3rd in the making, so maybe will have another one posted a bit later on.

Supplies used: 

Paper: Triple Play, Outdoor Denim CS, Indian Corn Blue CS, Colonial White CS

Stamps: Triple Play

Inks: Outdoor Denim, Indian Corn Blue (ICB is included in the Triple Play)

Accessories: Outdoor Denim Ribbon, Outdoor Denim Mini Medley, Colonial White Ribbon, Autumn Button Collection, White Hemp, Colonial White Waxy Flax, Die Cut flowers and leaves from Triple Play

Thanks for stopping by again and again!!  I just LOVE to see all the different cities and states that pop up.  I also am always SO tickled when I see comments that are left!  It always makes my day to see you take a few minutes of your day to leave me a sweet message!  Thanks for all the support and I hope that I inspire you in some fashion each time you stop by.......

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!

Triple Play as Cards......

Have you seen the special that Close to my Heart is holding for National Stamping Month?  It is pretty darn cute!  But I have to be honest, I am really not in to mini albums.  Well, I like mini albums.....just not 4 inch mini albums.  I like them a bit larger like 6 inches or larger.  

So, when I got my Triple play last month, I put together one of the albums but left the other 2 unfinished while I thought of something else that I could make using the SUPER CUTE papers.  I LOVE the little bitty patterns and stripes.  They SCREAMED cards to me.  So I cut them into 3 3/4 inch squares and looked for square card patterns in both the Originals and Wishes card books.  All 4 cards are 4 1/2 x 4 1/2.  

These 4 cards are what I have come up with so far......

Since there was not any cardstock that came wtih the Triple Play I had to use what I had on hand.  I used Colonial White, Desert Sand, Bamboo, Hollyhock and Sunset.  The accessories are from the Sunset Mini Medley Accents that are new to the Autumn/Winter Idea Book.

The stripe paper in the above card is actually precut.  I just cut it down a bit and stuck it to the top of the card to make it look like an envelope.  The Flowers on each of the cards are stamped from the included stamp set onto the included precut flower die cuts.  

I was really excited to be able to get out my Hollyhock ribbon and buttons!  Wierd, I know!  But there was a time when I was actually SICK of Hollyhock because it was used in quite a few paper packs for a while.  But when I saw they used it in the Triple Play kit, I looked forward to using it again and forgot how much I actually like the color.......

This last card uses the new Mocha Opaques that are in the Autumn/Winter Idea book.  LOVE these!!  The Opaques come in Shades of Mocha, Shades of Grey/Black AND in Pearl.  Want to see them?  Click on the picture of the Autumn/Winter Idea Book and you can see them all in the back where the accessories are.  OR just browse through all the beautiful art in the idea book and see how CTMH has used them.

Supplies used: 

Paper: Triple Play, Desert Sand CS, Hollyhock CS, Bamboo CS, Sunset CS and Colonial White CS

Stamps: Triple Play

Inks: Desert Sand, Hollyhock, and Sunset.  Ink spots are included in the Triple Play

Accessories: Die Cut flowers and leaves from Triple Play, Mocha Opaques, Sunset Mini Medley Accents, Hollyhock Buttons, Hollyhock Ribbon, Colonial White Ribbon, White Hemp

Thanks for stopping by!!

I hope this has inspired you.....in any way, shape or form!  LOL 

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!

Just CAN'T get enough Prisma Glitter lately......

Here is another card using Hooligans!  I made one last week that I can't wait to share with you all, but I submitted it for a contest with Close to my Heart.  SOOOO until I hear back, I guess this card will have to do!

This card is for the monthly unit swap that I participate in.  I used a card pattern from the Wishes book for a 5x7 card.  This is NOT my favorite size card to make.....I believe that I have said that before!  LOL  But I am always surprised at how cute they turn out, this one being no exception.

If the stamp set and placement of the stamps look familiar to you, it is because I posted a card using Splendor and Over the Rainbow a couple of months ago using this same placement.  The only thing that bothers me is I think that I should have put the hot air balloon a bit lower in the circle......maybe the next 10 that I need to make for my swap will look better.....

ANYHOO.....on to the card!  The balloon is stamped in Pear, then again in Gypsy and cut out.  I added glue with my fine point glue pen and sprinkled Prisma Glitter over it.  I did the same with the dots around the circle on the black cs.

Supplies used: 

Paper: Hooligans Level 2 Kit

Stamp set: Over the Rainbow

Inks: Gypsy, Lagoon, Pear and Black

Embellishments: Black Brads, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Prisma Glitter

Tools: Glue Pen

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!

Hope that this has inspired you once again to get out all things shiny and just get messy!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!
