Same Same Friday!


Here we are again...for todays same same challenge I chose some interesting color combos...but Hey I like them!

Your challege is to make 2 cards using the same stamps and the same layout (you can use mine or your own) but DIFFERENT colors...everything else should be the same...the embelishments don't have to be exact, as long as there are embelishments in the same positions!

I was going for a more masculine look for this card... I need to send my cousin a birthday card today and so why not use it for my challenge! He's a teen boy so I didn't want a lot of fluff, but still a nice card. I went very bare bones, but needed some ribbon in there, I don't think it's too feminine, do you?


Supplies:

Stamps: Older and wise, background basic

paper: wild wasabi, barely banana, tempting turquoise

ink: barely banana, tempting turquoise, summer sun, wild wasabi, stazon black

accessories: mono milti, glitter, wild wasabi stripped ribbon, ticket corner punch, cutter kit



For my second card I went a little more non-traditional again, but more girly. I really like these colors together, but I think there needs to be another layer under the orange...a soft sky layer maybe, but since I didn't add it to the fisrt, I could add it to this one!

The ribbon is a little too high and the color isn't just right, but I think it works! I do love how pronounced the star are in the background panel though...and there could be more pink on the candles, but live and learn right?

Supplies:

Stamps: older and wider, background basics

ink: pink passion, soft sky, only orange, summer sun, stazon black

paper: soft sky, only orange, pink passion, soft sky, whisper white

accessories: pomegranate double stitched ribbon, ticket corner punch, mono multi, glitter

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wai to see your creations...if you upload them to you blog or scs gallery don't forget to stop by and leave me a comment so that I can check them out too! Please use Key word SSMS03

Happy Stampin'

Same Layout, Same Stamps, New Challenge

I just love doing this! I think it shows the dersatility of stamps and supplies! I wanted to show how this card would look both masculine and feminine. I loved how this one turned out, so I set off to try another one! The second came much easier and faster...since I already had the layout and stamps I wanted to use...colors were the next challenge! I also wanted to use some supplies that I hadn't gotten out in a while...this punch has been a little neglected and so I thought it would make a nice border for a boyish card. I had to add the ribbon, well because I'm addicted to ribbon (thanks Nikki!) and I had a scrap of it sitting on my desk from a different project...that I decided to toss! Anywho, I also added the same pattern for the hat (it looks so cute with a polka dot!) a little hole punching (Kinda hard to see I think) and we are in buisness!



Supplies:

Stamps: Older and Wiser, peaceful wishes
Ink: soft sky, blue bayou, wild wasabi
paper: soft sky, wild wasabi, blue bayou, watercolor paper
Accessories: spiral punch, 1/16th hand held punch, ribbon, crystal effects, aqua painter


Now for this card I went with more girly colors...I choose the colors because todays Limited Supplies challenge on SCS is to use only scraps to make your card, so this is what I came up with (but to be honest with you the card was already in the works, I just happened to be insink with Jen70! I really really love how this turtle came out in cameo coral with chocolate spots, and since this is a more girly card I wanted to use scallops instead of the spiral punch I still added crystal effect and did the paper piecing on the hat...although hard to tell with such a tiny little hat and pattern...but it's there!
So what do you think? neat idea huh?
Supplies:
Stamps: older and wiser, peaceful wishes
paper:chocolate chip, camoe coral, soft sky, watercolor paper
ink: same as paper plus stazon black and wild wasabi
accessories: 1/16th circle punch, 1/16th corner counder, sponge, aqua painter, ribbon
I think this might be a new challenge for me on Fridays...same stamps, same layout...different colors so I will name it SSMS01 (same same Mabie stampin) Wanna play? just make a card and either upload it to your blog or SCS gallery and send me link...it'll be fun! leave me a comment so I can go check out your work!
