Hello Stampin’ Friends!

Today’s card is for the color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers. Here’s the lovely colors they gave us to work with:

And here’s what I came up with:

The dessert option was to add metallic. So I added some gold metallic thread behind the floral diecut as well as a few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots for fun.

Here’s a close up:

I stamped the Christmas Rose stamp set onto Watercolored Paper in Versa Mark ink using white embossing powder. I water colored the image using my Aqua Painter using the color combo they gave us to use. This gave it a softer look.

Here’s another view:

I let it dry in between so I could keep adding more color, so it wouldn’t be so drowned out by all the white. I then diecut the image and popped it up unto dimensionals to make it pop up against the whitewashed wood DSP. I then inked the sentiment from the Christmas Time is Here bundle using Soft Suede. I buffed over the white embossing powder with a microfiber cloth once everything was dry, or so I thought….it did smear a tad, not a big deal to me 😉

Well, I hope you like my card. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a blessed week ahead! ❤

Hello Stampin’ Friends!

I have a simple and quick card I made for the color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers.

Here’s the cute color combo they gave us for inspiration:

Here’s what I came up with:

I had an entire card all ready to go, then it got ruined!!!! I had to quickly come up with something fast! That’s why I chose the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. It can make simple but stunning cards fast 😉

Here’s a close up:

I had the sentiment stamped already inside the stamp case and dug through my shapes pile of extras to add behind it. The ribbon was in my stash collection, so all I had to do was stamp the flowers.

Here’s another view:

I used my Stampin’ Write Black Marker to flick little splotches of ink onto the cardstock to pull in the black from the sentiment. Super simple, but really cute when you have to do a fast card. I just love Stampin’ Up! they make things easy, even if you aren’t an artist!

Well thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you like my card sample. Have a blessed week ahead ❤

Hiya Stampers!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Today’s card is for the color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers.

Here’s the color combo they gave us:

Here’s what I came up with:

Aren’t these colors fun together? I stamped off once on the small blooms to contrast stamping the full strength in the center. Then stamped off in the center for the larger bloom.

Here’s a close-up:

I used the label from the Stitched Labels Dies for the focal point of my greeting. I often forget about this gorgeous die, it gives a feminine softness to any design.

Here’s another view:

The ribbon is retired but I so love it and resisted making a bow, but instead just folded it behind the label .  I used the Stampin’ Up! Everything is Rosy bundle kit, it’s on the Clearance Rack now so go grab it up while you can! 😉

Well, I hope you like my card, thank you so much for stopping by. Have a blessed week ahead! ❤

Hiya Stampers!

Todays card share is for the color challenge at SplitCoast Stampers.

Here’s the color combo they gave us to play with:

Here’s what I came up with:

I used Crumb Cake as a neutral to add a little more interest as I felt Whisper White was too much of a stark contrast. I love this stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Rooted in Nature.

Here’s a close-up:

I used Well Written Dies to diecut the “thanks” out of watercolored paper. I used a sponge dauber to sponge some Merry Merlot using the Ombre technique on it, blending light to darker.

Here’s another view:

I fussy cut the wood slice from the stamp set to have an anchor for the sentiment. It didn’t look quite right without something in the background to me.

I love this ribbon combo from the Holiday Mini catty called Come to Gather. The DSP paper is retired now, but loved how the stripes added a little sumthin’, sumthin’. 😉

All the leaves tucked behind the greeting were stamped then diecut out using the matching dies from this stamp set. I added some yellow sequins to finish off the card.

Well, thank you so much for stopping by and have a blessed week! ❤

Hey Stampin’ Friends,

I hope you had a great weekend. Today’s card share is for the color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers.

Here’s the color combo they gave us to work with:

Here’s what I came up with:

I love this color combo with this stamp set! It’s from the Holiday Catalog from Stampin’ Up! It’s called Perfectly Plaid.

Here’s a close-up:

I did use some retired DSP for the paper as well as the ribbon from the Everything is Rosy kit that retired. Did you know that the kit is now on the clearance rack? It’s such a pretty and fun kit to play with, get it while you can…..ask me how!  I recently stopped my online SU! website. I’m just a hobby demo and decided to not pay for a website since I’m my biggest customer, lol.  I would be happy to help you order anytime through me, so please contact me to learn more! 😉

Here’s another view:

This card came together fast using the matching punch. I love simple and quick cards, don’t you?

Well, that’s it for today. I hope you like my card sample. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a blessed night! ❤

Hi There Stampers!

I hope you’ve had a great day.

Today’s card is for the challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers. Here’s the color combo they gave us to use:

Here’s what I came up with:

I used the new Stampin’ Up! stamp set Snow Front from the holiday catty. I didn’t make a snowy scene but I think it still works.

Here’s a close-up:

I decided after making the first panel on Whisper White cardstock that I would see how it looked on watercolored paper as well. I went over the images with a little water and I love how vivid the results were! These colors are so fun to use together 😉

Here’s another view:

So, essentially the same card, just done a little differently. The dessert option was using a silhouette on your card which makes it pretty easy with this stamp set using the cute little deer image. Can you see the difference? Which one do you like the best?

Well, I hope you like my cards. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day ❤

Hiya Stampers!

I hope you have had a blessed weekend!

Today’s card is for the color challenge over at Global Design Project!

Here’s what they gave us to work with:

Here’s what I came up with:

I used the fun new Stampin’ Up! stamp set Harvest Hellos from the Holiday Catty. The background blueberry bushel  buffalo check paper was left over from a paper pumpkin kit.

Here’s a close up:

I stamped the apple in real red onto watercolor paper and then watercolored the apple with the ink. I also stamped the stem and leaf then watercolored them as well. I used the punch to punch it all out after it was dried.

Here’s another view:

The red bakers twine is from my stash and the red sequins are retired, I think. Well, I hope you like my card and thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed evening! ❤

Hiya Stampers!

I’m happy to announce that I will be a Guest Designer for the next two months on the SplitCoast Stampers Color Challenge team. I had so much fun last time, but this is for two months,not one. Woo-hoo, I’m so excited to be among some very talented crafters! 😉

So, here’s the color combo they gave us for this weeks challenge:

And here’s my take on it:

My card is fairly simple and straight forward. I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Forever Lovely.  Mango Melody is the base color for my card as well as the stamped sentiment.

Here’s a close up:

I stamped the sweet flower image with Rococo Rose, stamping off on the mirror image on the bottom. I then stamped the leaves around the flowers in Pear Pizzazz. I punched the sentiment and added all the diecuts tucked behind in all three colors to pull it all together.

Here’s another view:

Well, I hope you like my card sample. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week ❤

Hi Stampin’ Friends!

Hope you all are doing well. We’ve been good here. Been lazy about stamping lately and I apologize. 😉

So for today’s card I’m entering two challenges.

The first one is from Global Design Project. Here’s the fun challenge they gave us to work with:

And here’s what I came up with:

I’m also using the color combo from the challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers:

And here’s another view:

I’m loving this stamp set from Stampin’ Up! It’s called Beautiful Friendship. It’s very easy to use and I think it looks wonderful in these colors!

Here’s some close-ups:

Well, that’s it for today, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you like my card. Have a blessed week! ❤
