Made My Day With Seaside Wishes

 




I finally am playing with my Seaside Wishes bundle! I am casing a little Narelle Farrugia who is a brilliant SU! demo. I have a Gray Granite base and I layered a piece of white card stock and a piece of Country Woods DSP cut with the Deckled Rectangle dies. I then cut the shells in Gray Granite card stock with the Seaside Wishes dies. I then stamped the starfishes and sand dollar in Lost Lagoon ink from the Seaside Wishes stamp set on white card stock and cut them with the same dies. I then stamped the sentiment in same ink on white card stock and cut it out with the Textured Notes label die. I wrapped some linen thread around and have a double bow. I finished with some flat adhesive-backed pearls. 
Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

A Beautiful Floral Birthday For The Pals Blog Hop

 






Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!








Yes, a beautiful display of florals in my fav color purple for the birthday theme hop today! 
I am using the Thankful Garden bundle as well as the matching decorative masks. First, the layers are a Fresh Freesia base with a layer of Distressed Gold paper, a piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock and a piece of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP in Fresh Freesia. I stamped the sentiment from the Translucent Florals set in VeraMark ink on a piece of the same DSP and heat embossed with the gold embossing powder and heat tool. I cut it out with the Unbounded Love dies and use the same die with the gold paper for the frame. I cut the leaves in Granny Apple Green card stock from the Thankful Garden dies. 
The Thankful Garden decorative masks were used to create the floral images as well as the stamp set. I blended the ink on a white piece of card stock using the masks and my blending brushes. I used Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green inks. I then stamped the image outline over in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in gold embossing powder. I then cut them with the matching dies. I added the Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon and some gold adhesive-backed sparkle gems to finish it off. 



We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing for “The Male Room” theme, where we’ll be making cards for the men in our lives.

Happy Rockin' Birthday!

 





My son's 27th birthday is today and he is a rocker! He does not play the instruments but loves his rock music! Plus his fav color is RED! So I pulled out the Enjoy The Rhythm set and stamped the drum set and music notes on the white Stitched Rectangle die in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored the drums with my Stampin Blends markers in Smoky Slate and Real Red. I popped it on the Rock & Roll DSP and a piece of Real Red card stock and a white base. I cut the guitars out of the Rock & Roll DSP and colored with the same markers. 
Wishing my baby a wonderful and blessed birthday!
Thanks for stopping by!
