Mother's Day Hydrangeas

 

This is my Mother's Day card for my mom this year as she loves blue hydrangeas. I have a Blueberry Bushel base with a layer of Balmy Blue and then a white Perennial Postage die. I then cut a white piece of card stock just smaller than the postage die to run through the Eyelet embossing folder. I used the Thankful Garden decorative masks to blend Blue Berry Bushel, Balmy Blue and Garden Green inks with the blending brushes on a piece of white card stock. I then stamped the image as well in Memento Tuxedo Black ink with the Thankful Garden stamp set. I cut it out with the matching Thankful Garden dies. I cut a white postage die for the sentiment stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink with the Celebrating You stamp set. I used antique pearls and the Black and Vanilla ribbon in a bow to finish it off.     

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

PP735 It's Your Day With Celebratory Sips

 

Today I am playing along with Claire's sketch challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com using more of my Celebratory Sips suite!  I have a Blackberry bliss base with a piece of Bubble Bath card stock ran through with the Glass & Gardens embossing folders (using the Garden one today). I have a strip of the Celebratory Sips DSP plus I hand snipped those drinks from another print of the same DSP pack. I popped my glasses on a white Stylish Shapes dies and I stamped the sentiment on a white banner from the same dies from the Cheers & Sips stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I finished it off with some holographic resin dots! 

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Cheers & Sips

 

Playing with a new online suite called Celebratory Sips available May 6th, 2025. I am sending this to my daughter as she finishes up the spring semester of her second year in her PhD program! She has worked hard this semester! I can't wait for her to be here in May!

I have a Blackberry Bliss base and a piece of the Celebratory Sips DSP. I also stamped the glasses from the Cheers & Sips set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on another piece of the DSP which gives my glasses the drink inside. I cut them out with the matching dies along with the umbrella and stick stamped on white in black ink and the umbrella colored with the light Blackberry Bliss Stampin Blends marker. I stamped inside the glasses in black ink the strawberries and the berries. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock in black ink. I cut the Berry Burst circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and finished with some Holographic Resin Dots part of the suite. 

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

Happy Easter weekend!

PP733 You Mean The World To Me

 

I am playing along with Stef's color challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with Highland heather, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green. 

I have a white base and another piece of white card stock ran through with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. I then cut a white Textured Noted die and blended some Pool Party ink with my blending brush. I then stamped on white card stock the floral image twice from the Memorable Blooms stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin Blends markers in Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. After cutting them with the matching dies, I also used those dies to cut a few Granny Apple Green leaves. I stamped the sentiment in Black from the same set on the white Textured Notes label and popped them all up. I finished with some purple gems. 

Hope you can play along and have a wonderful week!

Ocean Friends For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Male Room.” The Pals hope to inspire you with their masculine card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

For the blog hop today, I have a card for anyone of any age using the Ocean Friends bundle. I wanted to make it a birthday card and used the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set. A fun fold is always a hit, so I have a Z fold with a white base. I added a piece of Summer Splash card stock on the inside. I also added a piece of that same card stock plus a piece of the Unbounded Beauty DSP to the front panel. I then cut three white Deckled Rectangle dies. I added one to the inside to write a message and the others on the outside flap. I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set in Real Red ink to the upper right. I then stamped the lobster and crab on white card stock in Real Red and Summer Splash inks and cut them with the matching dies along with a Summer Splash coral die behind. I finished off with some Sunny Day dots in Summer Splash. 

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Don’t miss out next month as we create for the “Flowers in Bloom” theme.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Congratulations With Happy Hibiscus

 

I love a bit of mono on a card and here I mostly used Petunia Pop but with a little Bubble Bath. I have a Petunia Pop base and a layer of white card stock plus apiece of In Color DSP in Petunia Pop. I then cut two Textured Notes dies in white and another print of the In Color DSP. I stamped the flowers from the Happy Hibiscus set in Petunia Pop ink on white card stock and colored them with my Bubble Bath Stampin Blends markers. I cut them out along with more card stock flowers with the matching Happy Hibiscus dies.  I added some Neutral Matte dots in white. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Petunia Pop ink on a strip of white where the top was cut with the Deckled Rectangle die. 

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