My card for the Pals Blog Hop this month has been mailed out for my daughter. She loves cats and pastel colors. I wanted to use the new in colors- Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe and Hydrangea Hue along with the Cutest Crew bundle for a fun card just for her.  I have a Barely Blush base an a layer of white card stock ran though the Eyelet embossing folder then a die cut of Barely Blush from the Textured Notes dies. I stamped the cats from the Cutest Crew stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card and cut with the matching dies. I colored them with the Stampin Blends markers in my three colors. I then stamped the sentiment from the same set on the Blush die in Hydrangea Hue ink. I also cut from the same Cutest Crew dies several butterflies in Hue and Cantaloupe card stocks.

PP789 Perfect Day

 

I am playing along with Stef's masculine theme over at thepaperplayer.blogspot.com today with a relaxing card! I have a white base and a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP for the background. I stamped the seagrass on white card stock from the Relaxing Waterside set with Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink inks plus the bird and cup on white card stock in Secret Sea ink and cut out with the matching dies.  I stamped the sentiment on a white banner die from a kit in Secret Sea ink. I then stamped the chair on To Market retired DSP that is a woodgrain pattern in Pecan Pie ink and cut with matching dies. I colored the cup with a  Balmy Blue Stampin Blends marker. I already sent this off to my son in the mail! 

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Relax At Sunset

 

Today, you can see both my cards together. I made the second one featured today for my daughter. I have a Strawberry Slush base and I cut the Scenic Coast DSP with the Everyday Arches dies. I then stamped the sentiment and book from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set on white card stock in Strawberry Slush ink. I stamped the chair in same ink on a piece of Highland Heather card stock. I cut the chair and the book withn the matching dies. I cut the sentiment by hand. I added a little Barley Blush to the book with my Stampin Blends marker. 

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

I made a few new cards using the Relaxing Waterside bundle plus the Scenic Coast DSP. I designed this one in blue and mailed to my son and another in purple/pink for my girl which you can see tomorrow. I have a Balmy Blue base and a a piece of the DSP cut with the Everyday Arches. I stamped the chair from the set in Night Of Navy ink on a piece of Blueberry Bushel card stock and cut it out with the matching dies. I stamped the book and sentiment in same ink on white card stock and cut the book with the matching dies and the hand snipped the sentiment. I added a little Balmy Blue to the book with a Stampin Blend marker. 

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

PP788 You're In My Beachy Thoughts

 

I am playing along with Joanne's tic-tac-toe challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with the bottom row across of happy sentiment, pattern paper and layers. I sent this card to my son who is my beach buddy and loves the beach and ocean as much as I do. I have a Pool Party base and a layer of the Beach Boardwalk DSP that looks like water. I then cut the die from for the Rolling Waves dies and blended some Pool Party on the top of it with my blending brush. I added a layer under of Gray Granite card stock stamped in Crumb Cake ink with the sand stamp from the Rolling Waves stamp set. I also stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink from the same set to the left. I cut out the shells from the same dies and added some Crumb cake ink with a blending brush. I then cut out the flip flops in Secret Sea and Pool Party card stocks with the Slash & Relax dies. 

Hope you can play along and have a wonderful day! 

Thanks for stopping by!

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!
