Pop of Paradise Card Candy # 3

And here's another piece of card candy (DIY embellishment) that I created with the Pop of Paradise stamp set.

This piece of card candy photographed a bit better than the previous one. I embossed this with White embossing powder to which I added Dazzling Diamond glitter. I love that sparkly look. I also used a chalk marker to outline the banner and add the details.

Pop of Paradise Card Candy # 2

Here's the second piece of card candy (DIY embellishments) that I created with the Pop of Paradise stamp set.  This little pineapple is a challenge for me. I don't really know what to do with it on a card. I thought it worked out okay with this piece though and maybe now that I have created the embellishment I will be able to design a card to use it on.

The largest scalloped oval is gold foil paper. It is so hard to photograph the shiny items on cards! I think it looks much better when you actually see it, than when you look at the photo.

The second oval layer is Delightful Dijon. The top oval is Crushed Curry. The pineapple is stamped in Crushed Curry and Garden Green and the banner is stamped in Daffodil Delight.

Have a blessed day,

Pop of Paradise Card Candy- #1

Have you seen the sets of Card Candy made by various Stampin' Up! stamp sets that are posted on Pinterest? Well, I am going to create a set of Card Candy using the Pop of Paradise stamp set. This is the first one that I have created.

What do you do with Card Candy? You create cards! I'm not real sure of the history of Card Candy but I think it may have had something to do with either trading sets with other stampers, or just that Stampin' Up! demonstrators created sets to give away at their classes and workshops as little bonuses. That is what I have used them for, little bonuses for my customers...card starters.

• Whisper White cardstock
• watercolor paper- for the window frame die
• Pop of Paradise stamp set

Baby Buggy Something for Baby Card

Something for Baby stamp set is a go-to stamp set for creating baby cards. This baby buggy in the Stampin' Up! set is such a classic stamp. I decided to do this card in Mint Macaron, an In-Color that was added last year, and Sweet Sugarplum, the most popular In-Color that was added in the current catalog. I like the color combination and if I want it to look a little more masculine, all I have to do is switch out the Sweet Sugarplum on the buggy and use the Mint Macaron instead!
