Remember Revisited

I've received several comments about the stamp set called Remember since I posted the Yellow Poppies card in the post below.  Many people were not too familiar with the set.  It was designed by Lisa Johnson and released by Papertrey Ink in August 2008.  I thought I'd post a few of the cards I've created using this set.  They are all in my Splitcoast Stampers Gallery.  Click on the title links for more information.

First up:  Red Hot Poppies

Next is Black Magic Poppies.  This one uses the chalkboard technique.

Lastly, Pure Poppy, a quick CAS card using a classic color combo.

For even more inspiration visit Lisa Johnson's blog to see all her countdown posts for Remember.  You'll be blown away.

Now, if you don't already own this set head over to Papertrey Ink and put it into your shopping cart!


Happy Stamping,

Yellow Poppies

Lisa Johnson started a new challenge series on her blog.  You can find this week's challenge here.  As you can see she gave us three "seeds" to use on our cards:

1. Crystals
2. A flower stamp
3. Light Yellow

This was such a fun challenge!  I used one of my very favorite stamp sets from Papertrey -- Remember.  This is a must have set.  I LOVE the poppy images Lisa included.  I also used FTL #80 from the clean & simple blog for my layout.

The solid part of the flowers are stamped with Buttercup ink (CTMH).  The outlines are stamped in Orange Zest.  I used Ripe Avocado for the stems and leaf outlines and Spring Moss for the solid leaves.  This sheet of patterned paper from Polka Dot Parade coordinated perfectly with my stamped image.  I finished it off with Orange Zest twill tape ribbon and rhinestones.

Origami Bookmark

I decided to use the Papertrey challenge today, which was to make an origami project, to make my girls a simple Valentine's bookmark.  This was so quick and easy.  I followed this tutorial from the Origami Club website.

This uses half a sheet of the 8 x 8 patterned paper.  I chose to use a sheet from Raspberry Fizz Mix.  I stamped the "love" from Mixed Messages and the "you" from First Fruits on the heart then inked the edges with raspberry fizz ink.  I then added the swirls from Remember in black ink. 

I wanted to keep the bookmark flat so they could actually use it in their books.  I resisted the urge to add a cute bow with some yummy PTI ribbon.  Instead I punched the bottom of the bookmark with a scalloped border punch to dress it up a bit.  I love how the point of the heart can hook over the edge of the page to mark your place in the book.
