SSC346 You're Classic

Hello All!  Time for another Sunday Stamps sketch challenge.  Pulling out un-inked set Tune In and nostalgically remembering the days of console televisions, I wanted to use a color combination from the 1970's.  Not too hard to do with Stampin' Up's plethora of colors.

The background strips are 1/2" pieces of card stock cut diagonally.

This card uses the sketch by Laurie and this classic color combination.

Stamps: Tune In; Paper: Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Unbounded Beauty DSP, Country Woods DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Foil; Ink: Peach Pie, Summer Splash, Early Espresso; Accessories: Rhinestone Jewels, Sponge, Tune In Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

SSC345 Retro Turntable

Hi All!  Welcome to another Sunday Stamps color challenge!  Today I'm combining the retired Rock & Roll DSP with Turntable Dies from My Favorite Things to create a turntable card.

All the fun of this card is in the inside (inspired by MFT designer Anna Lorenzetto).

And here's the front.

Measurements are 4-1/4 x 8-3/4" piece of cardstock, score at 4-1/4, 4-1/2"; 4-1/4 x 9" piece of cardstock, score at 4-1/4, 4-1/2, 8-3/4".  I glue the two 4-1/4" panels together, which leaves the 1/4" scored end on the outside to fold over and tuck in as the turntable top.

Here is this week's spooky color combination:

Stamps: Free Cake; Paper: Magenta Madness, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Tahitian Tide, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Rock & Roll DSP; Ink: Versamark; Accessories: Silver Epoxy Essentials, White Embossing Powder, MFT Turntable Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

SSC344 Soda-lightful

Hello!  Welcome to the next Sunday Stamps challenge.  For this one, I grabbed the Simply Sparkling Online Exclusive set and had fun digging through some retired product to find items & patterns that would evoke thoughts of bubbles.

Most cards start with patterned paper, which leads to color coordination.  I'm happy when it leads to some retired card stock, like Grapefruit Grove.  And it was fun to use some Grapefruit Grove foil sheets as well.  Sis is gonna love this card!

Here is this week's sketch by Heather.  Make sure you stop by and join us!

Stamps: Simply Sparkling; Paper: Real Red, Grapefruit Grove, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Whisper White, Painted Seasons DSP, Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheets; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark; Accessories: Nature's Twine, White Embossing Powder, Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Simply Sparkling Dies, Home Together Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

Hey All, long time no see!  It's been a busy August, but hopefully with school starting up again, I can restart my card-making roll.  So welcome to another Sunday Stamps color challenge!

I did some ink smashing on watercolor paper to create the background color, and then stamped the leaves.
