A Flowering Mother's Day

 

I made this card for my step-mom for Mother's Day. She loves gardening and flowers and thought she would love this set. I stamped the boots from Flowering Rain Boots set in Balmy Blue ink right on the designer paper called You're A Peach DSP. I cut them out with the matching dies called Rain Boots dies. As well as the tulips stamped in the new Sweet Sorbet ink and the stems stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink.  I popped them up on a piece of white card stock cut with the Scalloped Contours dies and blended with Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz inks. I layered it on a piece of the same designer paper and a white base. I stamped the sentiment from the Daffodil Daydream set in Sweet Sorbet ink on white card stock and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added a few sequins for bling. 

Have a lovely Wednesday!

I am playing along the picks over at festivefridaychallenge.com with blue, patterned paper, embossing folder, and die cuts.

A Little Paradise

 

I love the Paradise Palms bundle and love designing this card for card classes this month. I used a Sahara Sand base to keep it light. I cut the white background with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

I stamped the sun in Mango Melody and the birds in Soft Suede ink. The birds are from the Waves Of Inspiration set.

You're Amazing

 

I wanted to make a masculine card for a birthday or Father's Day with the new He's All That bundle. I tried to case a bit from page 78 of the new 2022-2023 annual catalog which starts May 3rd, 2022.  I started with a white base then a layer of Basic Black before adding the Cinnamon Cider card stock ran through the Brick & Mortar embossing folder.  I cut a piece of Basic Black card stock to add behind the white I cut with the Blossoming Happiness die across the top to look like a page ripped out. I then cut out from the All That dies the two black shapes, Soft Succulent banner pieces, Bumblebee banner pieces, Cinnamon Cider detailed circle and the small oval in Bumblebee stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink. The Soft Succulent circle was a 1 3/4" circle punch. I also stamped the shapes on the white card stock from the Flowering Tulips set in Cinnamon ink. I finished up with black matte dots. 

Hope you have a amazing day and thanks for stopping by!

Tropical Bag Card For The Pals Blog Hop

 

This month, the theme is Fabulous Flowers. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I wanted to use this bundle Called Timeless Tropical again before it retires this month and I have so many of these ombre gift bags,

 it just came together to make a gift bag card for a birthday.

I used the Polished Pink ombre gift bag to start. I cut a piece of white card stock and layered it on a piece of Polished Pink to add inside. I decorated it with a few flowers stamped from the Timeless Tropical set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I stamped one on the white background and added a little Polished Pink and Mango Melody ink with a sponge dauber. I then stamped the second on a piece of white card stock and cut it out with the Tropical dies after coloring with Polished Pink and Mango Melody Stampin Blends markers. 

I stamped the sentiment from the set in Polished Pink ink. 

For the outside on the bag, I stamped the flowers and one leaf in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock and cut them out with the matching dies after coloring them in Poilshed Pink, Mango Melody, Pale Payaya, Granny Apple Green  and Calypso Coral Stampin Blends markers. 

I also cut some small flowers in Polished Pink card stock along with a few different leaves in Old Olive and Granny Apple Green card stocks. 

I stamped the sentiment in Polished Pink ink and cut it out with

 the Sweet Hearts banner die. A few colorful rhinestones and a little Wink Of Stella 

ovef the flowers finishes it off.  

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created!

Best Wishes & Happy Thoughts

 

I am playing with more new product today which will be in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog starting May 3rd, 2022. First, I have a new in color for you today called Orchid Oasis. It photograghed kind of bright here but it is a pretty blueish purple color that makes the white and light colors pop. I also grabbed the Nature's Print bundle to use as well. I cut a piece of white card stock at the bottom with the die from Blossoming Happiness and then layered it with a piece of Gray Granite to add to my Orchid Oasis base. I then cut the wreath from the Natural Prints dies and well as three small stems from Gray Granite to add to the white background. I stamped the sentiment from Nature's Prints in Orchid Oasis ink on a piece of Gray Granite card stock and cut it out with the label die from Natural Prints dies. 

A few pearls around finishes it off.

On My Mind

 

I am happy to play with the Fern 3D folder again today and the new in color called Starry Night. I also am using the new bundle called nature's Prints. The new 2022-2023 annual catalog with Stampin Up! is just around the corner on May 3rd, 2022.  I used a white base and another white piece ran through the Fern folder. I stamped the fern pieces in the new color Starry Night twice on white card stock and cut it out with the matching Natural Prints dies. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in VersaMark ink on the Starry Night card stock and cut it out with the die from All That. I heat embossed it with the white embossing powder before I cut it out. I finished it off with some opal rounds. 

I really like the beautiful blue on white...it pops!

I have wanted to combine the Whale Done set with the Waves Of Inspiration set. So when I saw Ann's theme this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com I grabbed some blue inks and made this cute card. I cut a rectangle of Basic White card stock for the background and stamped the waves from Waves Of Inspiration in Balmy Blue and Bermuda Bay inks. I then stamped the sentiment from the Whale Done set in Bermuda Bay ink and the water spray in Balmy Blue ink. I then stamped on another piece of white card stock the whale in Misty Moonlight ink and used the matching Whale punch. I popped the whale up on the wave. I stamped the background stamp called Gentle Waves in Bermuda Bay ink on a piece of card stock in the same color then added it to a Misty Moonlight base.

Just Thinking

 

I had my friend Irene over this past week to make cards using the In The Moment set.  She loved one I had sent her as a thank you and wanted to make some to send friends and family. We made 12 cards in 2 hours. She loved coloring the images as much as I did. Here is one I made before I cleaned up our mess the next day. I colored my image stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock with Stampin Blends markers in light and dark Fresh Freesia for the outfit, hair in dark Daffodil Delight, hat in light Crumb Cake, rail in dark Crumb Cake, skin in SU900, and the wine in dark Blackberry Bliss. 

I cut it out with the Stirched So Sweetly die and stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Flowering Tulips set. I layered it on apiece of Fresh Freesia card stock ran throught with the Painted Texture embossing folder and added to a white base. I finished it off with some Fresh Freesia gems for a little bling.
