Handsomely Suited for Paper Players 554

This is the first time I've been in my craft room for well over a week, so I started with a CAS challenge at The Paper Players to try to get into the groove.

The floating strip technique seems to be all over the internet at the moment. Understandably so as it's both easy and impressive. I created the floating panel of strips from the Neutrals DSP stack, cut 5cm x 1.5cm, using Smoky Slate papers.

The tie was stamped in Night of Navy onto Basic White, then coloured with Night of Navy Stampin' Blends. The sentiment was white embossed onto Night of Navy and cut with one of the dies from Tasteful Labels.

If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page. You can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking on the SHOP NOW button in the sidebar or clicking on any of products below.

Update: Delighted to be a Cut Above at The Paper Players.

Handsomely Suited for CAS Colours and Sketches 412

The sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches this week gave me an idea for a very quick and simple card that still has impact.

I'm not generally a big user of patterned paper but sometimes, it's just the thing. This paper from the Well Suited DSP just screams 'TIE!' - so much so that I resisted the urge to cut the strips into tie shapes top and bottom. That's also because I didn't want to distract the eyes from the sentiment.

I embossed the card front with the Subtle embossing folder. If you've had your eye on this folder, make sure you get it soon as it will retire at the end of April and is now only available while stocks last.

The sentiment is die cut with one of the stitched ovals from Stitched Shapes - another retiring item, so make sure you order them now if you want them.

The bow ties are stamped, fussy cut and coloured with Stampin' Blends.

Such a quick and easy card and you could make it even easier if you didn't emboss the background - although I prefer the look.

Update: Delighted to be picked a Weekly Winner at CAS Colours and Sketches.

Handsomely Suited for AYSI 245

This week at As You See It, it's recipe week. For the first time ever, we're being joined by a Guest Designer. Anita Trippi won our recent colour challenge and so was invited to join us for this challenge. Please visit her and leave her a comment.

If you haven't played one of our recipe challenges before, it's easy: create something that includes each of the five ingredients on the recipe card.

So, a card that is masculine and uses an embossing folder, twine, die cuts and earth tones. It seemed a great chance to use my latest set, the Handsomely Suited bundle from the January- June Mini Catalogue.

For a quick card, I started with the tie stamps. I stamped three and die cut them: one Cajun Craze on Cajun Craze, one Cinnamon Cider on Cinnamon Cider and one Early Espresso on Sahara Sand. They were mounted on dimensionals on a Stitched Rectangle of Very Vanilla.

The background is Sahara Sand embossed with the Absolutely Argyle embossing folder on an Early Espresso base.

The sentiment from the set is stamped in Early Espresso on another Stitched Rectangle of Very Vanilla over a triple twist of Linen Thread.

We'd love to see what you do with this recipe card. You can see what the rest of the team have done and link up your entry by visiting the As You See It Challenge site.
