To The Beach And Back

 

I love the Sunkissed set from the 2022  SU! holiday mini! Here I just cut a piece of white card stock and stamped the background stamp from the Oceanfront set twice-once in Flirty Flamingo ink on the top and Pool Party ink on the bottom. I stamped the palm image from the Sunkissed set in Memento Tuxedo Black right over the top. I stamped the sentiment from the same set on another piece of white card stock and cut it out with the All That oval die. I added some linen thread behind for some texture and placed on the Pool Party base. 

I hope you have a restful day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Wonderful World

 

SAB or Sale-a-bration is ending tomorrow and you can still get this bundle with a 100.00 purchase. The bundle is the lovely deisnger paper and the stamp set called Wonderful World. Here I did not use the stamp set but I cut the large flower right from the designer paper and popped it up on a Sytlish Shapes square in white card stock stamped with the hello sentiment from the Ranunculus Romance set in Rich Razzleberry ink. I used a white base and layered one print of the designer paper in yellow and another floral print on top and ran the Orchid Oasis ribbon around then added the bow. 

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

Heartfelt Chic

 

I made this card for a friend who lost her mom this month with the Texture Chic suite. I started with the Soft Succulent base and layered a beautiful print of the Texture Chic DSP on top. I ran the Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon around before attaching. I stamped the sentiment from the Quiet Meadow set in Evening Evergreen on a piece of Soft Succulent card stock and cut it out with the All That die. I also cut out some leaves in Crushed Curry, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen card stocks with the Chic leaves dies. I finished it off with a few Evening Evergreen rhinestones. 

Hope you have a beautiful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

GDP367 Wave Of Strength

 

I am playing along with the color challenge this week at global-design-project.com with the Waves of Inspiration bundle. I started with the white card stock background stamped my wave inked up with Pool Part ink and sponged with some Tahitian Tide ink. I then blended with my blended brush some Flirty Flingo on for the sky. I stamped the birds in Tahitian Tide ink and layered it on a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock and a POol Party piece of card stock along with a Tahitian Tide base. I then stamped the peligan image in Tahitian Tide ink and cut with the matching dies called Waves dies. 

I also cut with those dies the clouds in Pool Party card stock and the extra detailed pieces for the clouds in Pool Party card stock rubbed with some Pool Party ink. I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink on white card stock and cut it with the Waves die. 

How you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Floral Miss You

 

This was really a quick card as I used the Orchid Oasis for the base cutting 1 1/2" off the front. I added white card stock inside and a strip of the free Wonderful World DSP in one print from the SAB promotion going on now through the end of August 2022. I added another print to the front of the card. I used the matching set for the flower by coloring with my markers in Orchid Oasis and Mossy Meadow and stamping on the white stitched square cut from the Stylish Shapes dies as well as the Orchid Oasis one behind. I stamped the sentiment from Cup Of Tea in Rich Razzleberry ink and finished with a Orchid Oasis dot.

PP605 Strength And Inspiration

 

I love the Lighthouse Point bundle and using it with other sets to make nautical cards. So I was happy to play along with Laurie's awesome clean and simple nautical challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  I used the background stamp from Oceanfront in Pool Party ink stamping twice on the white card stock piece.  I then stamped the bird from the Waves of Inspiration set three times in Night of Navy ink as well as the sentiment from the same set. I then stamped the rocks in Crumb Cake ink and the lighthouse in Night Of Navy and Bermuda Bay inks on a separate piece of white card stock. I cut them out with the matching Lighthouse dies. All was added to the white base to finish it off.

Amazing Gift Bags

 

Here are the gift bags I decorated for my guests for card classes this week. I thought this print with the bicycles was so adorable and there is 4 sheets of it in the free host DSP pack called Design A Daydream.  I added them to the small Kraft gift bags. I then cut the white and Balmy Blue stitched circles with the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour set in Flirty Flamingo ink and cut the bicycle in Blackberry Bliss card stock from the retired Windmill Fields dies.

 I added a green rhinestone to finish it off. 

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

Thinking Of Chic

 

Love the Texture Chic suite and using gold with it. Here, I designed a card for classes this week with the Texture Suite using Petal Pink. I used a Petal Pink base and I stamped the texture stamp from the Season Of Chic set in the same color on the two corners. I layered a piece of the Texture Chic DSP and cut the distressed gold with the detailed die with the Chic dies. I also cut some shells in the gold paper and the Petal Pink card stock. I stamped one large shell with Petal Pink and Gray Granite inks. I cut it out with the matching dies. I stamped the senriment from the set on a strip of Basic White card stock in Gray Granite and finished off with a gold dot by the shell at the bottom right. 

Hope you have a beautifully chic day and thanks for stopping by!

Take Care Teacup

 

I like the Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet colors together so had to use for the Cup Of Tea card for my August card classes.

I also stamped the tag in Sorbet ink and cut with same dies as well as the lemon in Mango Melody. I cut the white circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the stems in Parakeet Party ink as well as the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. I added the tag with a bit of Sweet Sorbet twine.

Grateful With Leaf Fall

 

This was a quick card as I wanted to play around with the new Leaf Fall embossing folder and sponge some color on it. I ran the piece of Crumb Cake through with the folder and sponed on Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, and Crushed Curry inks with sponge daubers. I stamped the sentiment several times-not very straight- from the Cottage Wreaths set in Blackberry Bliss. I added it to the Blackberry Bliss base. I cut a few leaves from the Country Wraths dies in Blackberry and popped on a gold twine bow. 

Hope you have a Monday full of blessings and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Pumpkin For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Seasons’ Greetings. This month’s design team showcase projects inspired by their favorite seasonal time of the year. 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.

My favorite season is autumn/fall and I love to decorate for this time of the year. I pull out my pumpkin collection Labor Day weekend and enjoy it til after Thanksgiving. I live in Florida so the weather does not change really but I still love the fall colors. I also love to make fall cards but for the hop today, I was inspired to go with some light colors instead of dark royal ones.

 I stamped my pumpkin and flowers from Hello Harvest set on shimmer white card stock with Stazon black ink and water colored them with my water painter in Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral, and So Saffron inks. I cut them out with the matching Rustic Pumpkin dies. I then stamped some of the leaves in Mint Macaron on a Mint Macron base in the corners. I layered a piece of vellum over it before popping up my images. I stamped the sentiment from the Cottage Wreath set in Stazon Black ink on shimmer white card stock and cut it out with a banner from the All That dies. I also cut some twigs from the Rustic Pumpkin dies in Mint card stock to add for texture plus the champagne rhinestones for bling.

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! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on [second Wednesday]. Our theme will be Focus on the Sentiment, when the design team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

FF0115 and GDP355 So Proud With Scottie

 

I made this 4" square card for the animal challenge over at global-design-project.com and the pick three challenge over at festivefridaychallenge.com this week. I went for dog, twine and spots. I am so glad I grabbed the Christmas Scottie bundle to be using now for regular cards. Looking forward to making Christmas cards with this bundle but it is for all year round. 

I have a 4" square Basic Black base and added some Celebrate Everything DSP cut 1/8" smaller. The DSP is a host item in the 2022 holiday mini catalog on page 87. 

I then cut the Balmy Blue circle from Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the sentiment from set in Memento Tuxedo Black on it. I stamped the scottie dog in same color ink on a piece of white card stock and the bow in Poppy Parade and punched them out with the Scottie Dog punch. I popped them on the circle and added some retired black/white twine to the red bow for more texture.  

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

Wonderful Blooms

 

I still have lots of these flowers cut from the designer paper called Hues Of Happiness laying there on my workspace and decided to add some more to a card.

I then cut the bottom of a strip of white card stock with the notebook die from Blossoming Happiness dies. I then stamped the sentiment from Happiness Abounds set in Evening Evergreen ink. I arranged the floers and leaves on top and finished by adding some glossy dots in Melon Mambo. 

Have a lovely Monday and thanks for stopping by!

FMS547 Wonderful World In Every Way

 

I am playing along with the sketch challenge over at the freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com with the SAB free bundle of Wonderful Words DSP and set by the same name. I stamped the image on a white Deckled Rectangle by coloring my stamp with the Orchid Oasis and Mossy Meadow Stampin Write markers. I then stamped the sentiment from the Happiness Abounds set in Rich Razzleberry ink. I used a Orchid Oasis base and cut a piece of that same color card stock to run though my Hive 3D embossing folder. I added strips of the Wondeeful World DSP in three different prints to the bottom of the embossed panel and ran some Evening Evergreen 3/8' windowpane check ribbon around.

GDP354 A Tag For A Friend

 

I started to place this on a card front for the tag challenge over at global-design-project.com but then I thought it would make a cute tag on something to a friend. I cut the white tag from the Tailor Made Tags dies as well as the Tahitian Tide one. I then stamped the flowers and leaves from Happiness Abounds set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock.

PP602 A Little Paradise

 

I love when we have a tic tac toe challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com and for Claire's this week, I went down the first row with yellow, die cut, and sun. I knew right away I would grab my Paradise Palms bundle. I started with the white panel I cut with the Deckled Rectangle die and then stamped the sand in Crumb Cake ink. I then took my blending brushes for the background water in Pool Party ink and sky in Crushed Curry ink softly adding. I stamped on white card stock the sun in Crushed Curry and then the trees in Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green inks by adding ink directly to the stamp with the my Stampin Write markers. I cut these out with the matching Palms dies. I then stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink on white card stock and cut it out with the oval from All That dies. 

I added all to the Deckled Rectangle in Crushed Curry and a Crumb Cake base to finish.

Hope you have a restful week and thanks for stopping by!

Heartfelt With The Sun Prints Suite

 

I made this card as part of the Emma and Brian's Super Awesome Fun Time card kit in June using the Sun Prints suite. Emma Goddard is a demo in the UK and designed this card and my sweet friend Brian King at stampwithbrian.com cut the pieces ready for my to stamp and assemble. It uses the Sun Prints DSP, Nature's Prints stamp set and matching Natural Prints dies along with the awesome Fern 3D embossing folder. He also cut me a stitched circle from Stylish Shapes in white card stock and some ribbon called silver 3/8" metallic edge cotton ribbon. I stamped the flowers from the stamp set on white card stock in Gray Granite ink and colored a little with the So Saffron Stampin Blend marker. I stamped a few springs in Starry Night ink and cut them all with the matching dies. 

Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!
