DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #275: Perennial Birthday & Tutti Frutti DSP
March 28, 2018
It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a "Sketch Pad" challenge.
I'm lovin' this week's sketch pad challenge. It lends itself to a quick & cute card, just my style.
I reached for the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper and was immediately drawn to the black striped pattern. And as I already had the Perennial Birthday stamp set out (for another project) - I thought they might pair together nicely. And they did - love the results!
After completing the first card, I started to experiment with some of the other Tutti-Frutti patterns and found a fun Lemon Lime Twist panel. I couldn't decide which one I liked best - so I'm sharing them both!
How'd She DO That tips for Perennial Birthday card:
- Stamps: Perennial Birthday
- Paper:
- Thick Whisper White (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base & scrap for 2" Circle Punch)
- Basic Black or Melon Mambo (3/4" x 5")
- Tutti Frutti 6x6 Designer Series Paper (4" x 3-1/2")
- Ink: Tuxedo Memento Black, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight
- Other: 2" Circle Punch, Whisper White Bakers Twine, Basic Rhinestone Jewels & Stampin' Dimensionals
- Shopping Links: See below for a full supply list with links to shop online
Tip: I found stamping on the 2" circle punch out easier than trying to stamp, then punch (which is what I usually do). And since I made 20 of these for an upcoming swap, I pull out the Stamparatus - coming June 1.
Here's how I used the Stamparatus:
- Punch a 2" circle out of a larger piece of cardstock. And place the large piece of cardstock in the Stamparatus.
- Place the 2" circle punch-out in the negative space.
- Line up the various stamps on the Stamparatus plates (you have FOUR surfaces)
- Stamp a way! Not only is it quick, but it's fun too.
- My husband helped me with the project. He did one plate and I did the other plate. We got done in no time at all. He's not much for actual stamping, but when we got done stamping using the Stamparatus he said, "that was a lot of fun". He's busted now. I'm pretty sure he'll be stamping with me again!
Which is your favorite? Black Stripe or Lemon Lime Twist? Whichever you choose, you can make them both, as both patterns are found in the Tutti Frutti 6x6 Designer Series Paper Pack. Add it to your shopping bag today...and don't forget the Perennial Birthday stamp set too!
