PP786 Thank You Pears

 





I am playing along with Ann's clean and simple food challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  I have wanted to play with this suite called Painterly Pears for a while and I needed a thank you card so it came at the right time! I have a white base and a layer of the Painterly Pears DSP then a white Everyday Arches die blended with some Petal pink ink with my blending brush. I cut the pears, tops plus the flowers out from the DSP with the Perfectly Pears dies and pop them on. I finished with cutting the white label from the dies and stamping the sentiment from the Perfectly Pears stamp set in Strawberry Slush ink.

Happy Birthday Octopus

 



I played with the new Thought Octopus set to make a birthday card for a friend's son turning 2 years old. I have used the Pool Party for the base and a piece of the Beach Boardwalk DSP on the front. I cut a white Everyday Arches die to stamp the Octopus in the new color Crisp Cantaloupe ink. I added the balloon in Poppy Parade ink, the string and face in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Pool Party ink for the birthday hat. I finished with some iridescent sequin on the top of hat and by the Octopus. Inside, I stamped the sentiment from the set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a white piece of card stock. 

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

Cutest Hello

 


I love the Cutest Crew bundle and waited soooo long for it to come back in stock to play with! This card is in the mail for my son! I have a Hydrangea Hue base and a layer of white card stock ran through with the Forever Plaid embossing folder. I then have a strip of the Hydrangea Hue card stock to pop my pups on and a piece cut with the border die from the Custest Crew dies. I stamped the sentiment and the pups in Memento Tuxedo Black on a piece of white card stock and they were die cut out with the matching Custest Crew dies and Stitched rectangles dies. I colored the pups with several Stampin Blends markers- light Hydrangea Hue, light Strawberry Slush,light Mossy Meadow, light Wild Wheat, Ivory, light Crumb Cake, SU900, Light Golden Glow, SU500, SU400, and light Smoky Slate.  

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

Blushing Bloom Just For You With The Pals Blog Hop

 


Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s Flowers in Bloom theme couldn’t be more perfect for the month of May when everything starts to feel alive again! From soft petals to bold blooms, today’s projects are packed with fresh floral inspiration to help you create something beautiful. Whether you love clean and simple designs or layers of color and texture, you’re going to love hopping along with us!





I love the new in color called Barely Blush and wanted to feature it today with the blooms blog hop! I have it as a base and then I used another layer to run through the Eyelet Blooms die which has it own blooms! I then stamped the large flower from the Simply Beautiful set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a white die cut from the Simply Beautiful dies and colored it with the Barley Blush Stampin Blends markers. I then cut another larger white die from that die set and stamped some on the bottom in the same Blush color with a small flower stamp from the same set to add some color to that back die. I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love stamp set in Black ink on white card stock and hand snipped it out. I finished with several pearlized faceted circles in pink. I already gave this to my neighbor for her birthday last week who is a pink lover!   

Thank you for stopping by and hopping with us today! We hope our Flowers in Bloom projects brought you lots of creative inspiration. Next month we’ll be sharing projects featuring the NEW In Color family, and we can’t wait to show you just how amazing these fresh new colors are.

Big Scenic Coast Birthday!

 


I made this card for my stepfather's birthday in May. I used the Scenic Coast DSP both of the background and the lighthouse cut from the Sunset Coast dies on top. I then popped these on a Timid Tiger base. I stamped the sentiment from the Big Little Things set in Timid Tiger ink on a white/gold banner from a Paper Pumpkin kit. I also cut the fence from the same Sunset Coast dies in Night of Navy ink. 
I hope you have a fun Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Flamingo Tag

 



While I had my retired Friendly Flamingo set out, I made a tag for a friend to put on a gift of bubbly. I have a Soft Sea Foam tag cut from the Country Corners dies and a hold punched on the top. I stamped the flamingo in Flirty Flamingo ink as wel as the floral piece in Granny Apple Green ink on white card stock and hand snipped them out to pop on my tag. I punched the white Triple Banner to add my sentiment from the retired Seaside Bay set in Flirty Flamingo ink. I finised off with some gold glitter gems for bling and gold striped ribbon with a little Calypso Coral twine tied in a bow. 
Have a sweet day and thanks for stopping by!
