Happiness Floats

Another card for my son already mailed out. He loves red, white, and blue! I have a Real Red base and a piece of white card stock ran through the Soft Waves embossing folder. I then blended Real Red and Azure Afternoon inks with the blending brushes on top. I cut a white Spotlight On Nature die to stamp the sentiment from the Splash & Relax set in Real Red ink. I then cut out the cup in white and Real Red card stocks, the sunglasses in Azure Afternoon and Basic Black card stocks and then stamped the balls in those colors as well as the float to cut with the matching dies. 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating! 

Thanks for stopping by!

PP792 Relax

 

I am playing with Joanne's sketch challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com and this card is another for my son I grabbed some blue and gold. I wanted to use the gingham paper on everything so I started with it from the Gingham Gallery DSP pack in Hydrangea Hue with a piece of the same color behind on a white base. I then cut a strip of Golden Glow card stock and ran it through the Timber embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside set in Secret Sea ink on a piece of white card stock. I stamped the chair and bird in Pecan Pie ink from the same set on white card stock. I colored the chair with the light Golden Glow Stampin Blends marker and the bird with the light Hydrangea Hue marker. I cut them out with the matching dies and finsihed with Hydrangea Hue dots. 

Hope you can play along and have a beautiful day!

Birthday Triangle Treat Box For My Girl

 

I made a treat box to hold my daughter's lip gloss for her upcoming birthday! Check out the box from thepaperpixie.com here  My friend and fellow demo, Julie DiMatteo, always has what I need to make a 3D project.  I have a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock for my triangle box. I used different Lighter Than Air DSP patterns on all three sides. I used the cutouts from a retired emphera pack probabaly two years old. Sorry can't remember the name of this one. I tied a bow around with Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon and added some silver sparkle gems from a Paper Pumpkin kit. I stamped the sentiment from Simply Said set in Blue berry Bushel ink on a Fresh Freesia die cut with the Spotlight On Nature dies. 

My ends did not come out perfect so no photo of those. 

Have a w wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

PP791 Hello Sunshine For Her!

 

I made a card yesterday for this challenge but then decided it was not really clean and simple but go check it out. I am playing along today with Jan's clean and simple weather challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com   I have a Coastal Cabana base and another layer on top ran through with the Soft Waves embossing folder in the same card stock color. I then cut the white with the Textured Notes dies and stamped the sun from the Summer Happiness set in Crushed Curry and the sentiment from the Splash & Relax stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink. I am sending it off to my daughter before she heads this way for July! 

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sunshine!

 

I made this card for The Paper Players clean and simple weather challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com but I then decided it was not so clean and simple with lots of white space. I have made another for tomorrow to post for that challenge but this card will go out today to my son! I have used the Splash & Relax bundle as well as the Summer Happiness stamps. I have a Night Of Navy base and a layer of Coastal Cabana ran through with the Soft Waves embossing folder. I then cut a Textured Notes panel in white and added three colors with my blending brushes. I added Crisp Cantaloupe, Daffodil Delight, and Coastal Cabana inks. I then stamped the sun from the Summer Happiness set in Crushed Curry ink and the sentiment from the Splash & Relax set in Night Of Navy. I stamped on white card stock the beachballs in Coastal Cabana and Night Of Navy inks and cut with matching dies. I finished with some iridescent sequin. 

Thanks for stopping by and come look tomorrow for another version for the clean and simple challenge!

The Wild Bunch

 

Playing with a new set from SU! called Wild Bunch and you can get it for $5.00 this month when you spend $75.00 or more on an order. I also grabbed some new in color DSP called Gingham Gallery which will be available in the online exclusives next month for July 2026. I have a white base and layered the DSP on top. I then cut a banner from the in colors Peaceful Pine and Golden Glow with the Creative Haven dies. I cut the white circles from the Spotlight On Nature dies. I stamped the critters in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and and hand snipped them out to pop on after coloring them. I used the Stampin Blends markers in Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Petal Pink for the koala plus SU500. Cajun Craze, and Copper Clay for the bull. I heat embossed the sentiment from the set in white embossing powder after stamping in VersaMark ink on my color card stocks and then punched out with the Triple Banner punch. I finished off with a few in color dots. 

I am sending these out to my son and daughter soon. 

Thanks for stopping by and have abeautiful weekend!
