Submarine Life for PP680


Happy Sunday and Happy March, friends!
Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, Jaydee is hosting our  Color Challenge.


Any color combo where pink is in the mix is always a winner in my book. The fun part about this combo is that it can be ANY shade of green, pink and yellow. If you know me well, I’m always going with bright colors if given a choice. But I think you could really have some fun with different shades in the colors, too. I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve shared the supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.


When I saw the color combo, I was immediately inspired to create with the Submarine Life stamps and punch from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. I mean don’t we all need “a yellow submarine” (sing along with me) to send some smiles across the miles? I created a little underwater scene with a fun scrappy strip background to bring this fab color combo to life on my card. 


I made a second version of this card for my "Sunday Funday" Facebook Live. This version used 7 instead of 6 strips (the bottom card in the photo above) because I initially angled them a little too high and needed to balance out some space. I actually kind of liked it with a little more color in the background, but either way, it’s just a fun card, don’t you think?

came together! 


I finished the card with some Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs around th starfish and fist trio because I thought the looked like bubbles. The pop of shine is great and they don’t add more bulk to the card for mailing. Although tough to see in the photos, I also brushed some Wink of Stella on the submarine windows which looks really snazzy in person. 


Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I added a few more scrappy strips along with the adorable little crab and a coordinating sentiment. I love that little crab and his “jazz hands” or claws…or whatever you want to call them. He’s just fun!

Softly Sophisticated for PP676


Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, LeAnne is hosting our Color Challenge.


I’m a little delayed getting my card posted this week. Life happens sometimes but here I am with this fabulous color combo that I knew I would love from the moment I saw it. You had me at Bubble Bath, LeAnne! Paired with the richness of Berry Burst and the cool gray…this combo is definitely a keeper. I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve shared the full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.


For my card, I decided to use the Softly Sophisticated stamp and embossing folder bundle that is part of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration offering his year. This bundle can be earned for FREE with a $100 order now through the end of February. I will say, I loved the embossing folder immediately but wasn’t so sure about the stamp set. The more I have played with it, the more I am really enjoying it. The floral images are really easy to stamp together and the sentiments are so perfect for everyday occasions. 


I was inspired by a layout that I used in my weekly Facebook Live for this card. You can watch the video HERE if you’d like to check it out. I layered the colors and then popped in a little bit of pattern from Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and a pop of sparkle from the Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper strips in the background. I finished the card with some rhinestones and a silver bow tied from Simply Elegant Trim. I really like how this card came together and I hope you do as well. 


Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I added a strip of Glimmer Paper and a portion of the stamped image with room to write a handwritten note. I’m trying to send out more “Hi, I’m just thinking of you” cards this year. So, I made a few extra to send out, just because.
