Hiya Stampers!
Hope ya’ll are doing well. I’ve been a bit busy, but wanted to make a quick card. It’s based off the sketch over at SplitCoast Stampers. Here’s what they gave us to work with:
Here’s what I came up with:
Here’s a close up:
I really love this stamp set and DSP. They are beautiful!
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed evening 😉
Hiya Stampers!
Today’s card is for for two challenges. The first challenge is from Global Design Project. Here’s the theme they gave us:
Here’s what I came up with:
I did use some retired ribbon, but I have a ton of retired products that need to be used up 😉
The next challenge is a color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers. Since it was the 700th color challenge they gave us 5 different color combos to choose from! Here’s the color combo I chose to use:
Berry Burst
So Saffron
Pear Pizzazz
Here’s a close up:
I watercolored the mermaid and fussy cut her out and popped her up onto dimensionals.
I sponged the background diecut piece from Blended Seasons Bundle with Tranquil Tide and stamped on top of it with Old Olive.
I have been working on a sewing project lately so haven’t had much time for stamping….a crafer’s work is never done, lol 🙂
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day! ❤
Hey Stampers!
Today’s card is for two challenges. The first challenge is a sketch challenge for Global Design Project. Here’s the sketch:
Here’s what I came up with:
The second challenge is a color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers. Here’s the pretty color combo they gave us to use:
Close up of the lovely flowers from this beautiful stamp set!!!
I just used accents of the Berry Burst with the bottom layer and then the punched scalloped cardstock…..oh, as well as the sentiment stamped in Berry Burst. I used some bling to add some interest and pretty much stuck to the sketch.
I frayed the ends of the Blackberry Bliss twine (matches close enough for me) after I made a bow and then added it on with liquid glue to make sure it stayed. I absolutely love, love, love this stamp set, well the whole suite actually!!!! I can guarantee that you will be seeing this bundle a lot, lol 🙂

Hiya Stampers!
Today’s card is for the challenge over at Global Design Project. They gave us a pretty color combo to use.
Here’s what I came up with:
Yes, I used the Blended Seasons stamp set again, lol! I can’t help it, it’s so pretty as well as #1 it’s not going to be around for very long and #2 it was already on my desk from the last time I used it 😉
Here’s another view:
The ribbon is from a bouquet of flowers my hubby gave me and I save everything. It’s not a perfect match, but good enough to work.
I will be very sad to see this bundle suite go, if you don’t have it yet….you better hurry up! It’s only here until August 31, 2018 and it’s while supplies last!!!!
I took a piece of water colored paper and ink washed the navy ink all over it and distressed it with splatters of ink before die-cutting it out with those gorgeous framelits from the bundle. I heat embossed the flowers onto water colored paper and yes…..I fussy cut them out, doesn’t really take that long at all.
Well, I hope you like my card, thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed Sunday 😉
My next card share today is for the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps. Here’s the sketch they gave us to try:
Here’s what I came up with:
Pretty much stuck to the sketch layout. The very top layer is a printed window sheet, so it’s mostly clear but it does have some gold embossed butterflies and bees on it. It was hard to get a good picture of it.
Here’s another view:
I used the new Tea Room Memories & More card pack so it was super simple and fast to put together! The butterfly is actually a sticker that comes in the kit. I used my embossing buddy on the back to take the sticky away so I could pop it up on dimensionals.
Sorry about the glare, like I said it wasn’t easy trying to photograph….no matter what angle I used it had that darn glare! I used a piece of the beautiful Tea Room DSP on the bottom layer. I just love this whole suite of products!
Well, I hope you like my card. Have a very blessed weekend! ❤
Hey Bleeps (blog peeps)!
My card today is for two different challenges over at SplitCoast Stampers.
Here’s how my card came out:
I used the same image she used from the limited-edition Blended Seasons stamp set. I changed up the colors to make it a Christmas card. My card isn’t a fancy fold card like she did, but I needed something fast since I haven’t stamped all week. Her card is very soft and beautiful but looks intimidating to me with that awesome card shape and fun fold! 😉 She’s a really talented lady and very inspiring demonstrator. I will have to try her card shape another time, it’s very unique and eye catching!
Here’s another view of my card:
The next challenge is a color challenge:
Poppy Parade
Lemon Lime Twist
Garden Green
Here’s what I came up with:
I distressed the Whisper White Framelit diecut by sponging Garden Green ink all over it. I then spritzed it with water and hurriedly dried it with my heat tool. I smooched it in ink and finally took a sponge dauber and added more ink to the edges.
Here’s another view:
I stamped off with Soft Sea Foam using the no line water color technique, this was my first time trying it! I fussy cut the flower image and popped it up onto some dimensionals. I used some gold sequins and gold Wink of Stella (for the flower centers) from my stash as well as some gold thread to add a little bling. I hope you like my take on these two challenges and how I merged them together.
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed weekend ❤
Hey Bleeps (blog peeps)!
I have another card to share today. This one is for the color challenge over at Sunday Stamps. Here’s the colors they gave us to try:
Here’s what I came up with:
I did use a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp set that had some taller trees in it, but mostly used the Waterfront trees and images. I also used some sheer ribbon from my stash as well as the pearls from the Share What You Love embellishment kit.
The sentiment is from another SU! stamp set listed below. I sponged the sky, and also stamped full strength and stamped off here and there. I also sponged the water in the light blue then stamping over it in the darker blue.
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day ❤
Hiya Stampers,
Today’s card is for the challenge over at Global Design Project. Here’s the pretty card they gave us to CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit.
I really liked her layout and any chance I can get to use these DSP from Stampin’ Up! makes me happy!
Here’s my take on it:
I promise I did use the same DSP, my editing skills are using Instagram filters first, lol…..so, looks totally different…..but they are the same. I tried to change up the editing, but it was a fail…..so, I gave up after a few minutes of trying! One day I plan to sit down and figure stuff like editing photos out, but most of my spare time I just create instead 😉
I fussy cut all the flower blooms from a different piece of DSP from the paper pack. It actually didn’t take too long. I put on worship music and went to town, took about 5-10 minutes all together.
I forgot how fun sewing on a card is, not sure if you can see the stitching or not. I also used a different shaped focal point….but the card layout is pretty much the same.
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day! ❤
Hi again Stampers!
I have another card share today. I feel like this card qualifies for the Global Design Project Country/Farm theme. It has that rustic, farm and country feel to me. I already did a card and entered it the other day. I checked their rules and didn’t notice anywhere that I couldn’t do two cards, but I will remove it if it’s not allowed.
There’s also a challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers to use Crumb Cake on your card under the Free For All Challenge on Fridays. So, I went for it!
I used Crumb Cake as my card base, as well as inking around the entire patterned papers with it, the floral frame wreath and the wood paper. I also stamped the flower image background onto the wood DSP in Crumb Cake…..and last but not least, I sponged crumb cake ink on the white doily (retired). Hopefully this qualifies enough Crumb Cake for the challenge, lol 😉
This Petal Promenade DSP is so beautiful. I fussy cut one of the wreath floral frames out and simply stamped inside it. I used some retired Stampin’ Up! lace ribbon which I thought matched the blooms good enough, not sure if you can even see much of it in the end result though.
I used some retired pearls as well, I had to cover up a boo-boo I made with ink 😉 I hope you like my card, I forgot how much fun sponging is! Don’t forget about the DSP Sale going on right now! Buy three packs and get one FREE! Click here to find out more!!!!
Well, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed night ❤
Hiya Stampers!
For my card today I’m combining two challenges. The first one is the farm/country theme over at Global Design Project.
I don’t really have any current stamps that meet this theme, so I just used a retired stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I hope that’s still OK to enter this card in for the challenge!
I’m also entering this card in the color challenge over at SplitCoast Stampers. The colors are Pineapple Punch, Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral.
I water colored the little chick with the challenge colors then fussy cut her out and shaped her with my bone folder and popped her up on to some dimensionals. I used some sequins from my stash as well as some retired ribbons.
Here’s another view.
I embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder onto a piece of Wood Textures DSP.
Don’t forget about the DSP Sale going on at Stampin’ Up! right now. Buy One Get One FREE!!!
