A Precious Pearl Birthday

 

Another By The Bay suite card today. I am really stocking up on my birthday card stash especially masculine cards this week! I started with a Night Of Navy base and added some Distressed Gold specialty paper along with a strip of By The Bay DSP. I then cut a white square with a Pool Party square from the Stylish Shapes dies. I stamped the image from Seaside Bay in Night Of Navy ink and then added some Pool Party and Petal Pink with my Stampin Blends markers. I also went around the image with my Pool Party markers. I dded the flat adhesive-backed pearl to the center. I took my sponge dauber around the Pool Party square with some Night Of Navy ink. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Night Of Navy ink on white card stock from the Cottage Rose set and cut it out with the banner die from Stylish Shapes dies. 

Hope your day is lovely and thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Crabs In Real Red

 

I have been playing lots with the By The Bay suite and there is more cards to come! Today, I used my Deckled Rectangles with the suite. I have a white base and cut the rectangles in Night Of Navy card stock along with a piece of Sahara Sand. I also cut a print of the By The Bay DSP which looks like sky, sand, and water. I stamped the crabs three times in Real Red ink on white card stock from the Seaside Bay set-one full on with ink and two stamped off- and cut them with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red from the Waves Of Inspiration set and then finished with flat adhesive-backed pearls.

Have a beautiful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

A Palm Tree Birthday

 

You are going to see a parade of masculine birthday cards over the next week and a half. I needed a birthday card for my dad and uncle this month and found I had no cards that were not full of flowers or very pink in my stash!  I made this one for my uncle's birthday next week using the Paradise Palms bundle becasue he loves the beach as much as me!  I used a white base and added a piece of Night Of Navy card stock. I then took a piece of white card stock to blend the top with Balmy Blue ink, the middle with Night Of Navy ink and the bottom with Crumb Cake ink using my blending brushes. I stamped grass in Navy ink plus the birds which are from the Waves Of Inspiration set. I cut the palm tree from Night Of Navy card stock with the Palms dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Paradise Palms set in Navy ink on white card stock and cut it out with the All That dies. 

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

I will be undecorating from Christmas and doing lots of cleaning!

Framed Florets With Fancy Flora Paper

 

I love this Fancy Flora DSP in the the new SU! spring mini catalog that starts TODAY! I was really drawn to this print I think because of the tones of green and brown. I was going to feature this paper with a little sentiment to make it shines bu then decided to add the frame with the large sentiment but it seemed plain so I stamped some flowers from the Framed Florets set. The flowers and well as the sentiment are from the Framed Florets set stamped on white card stock ink Soft Suede ink for the flowers and Evening Evergreen for the sentiment. I cut them out with the matching Framed Florets dies. I colored the flowers with my Stampin Blends markers in Light Crumb Cake, Light Soft Succulent, and Light Petal Pink. The frame is cut from the same dies in Soft Succulent card stock.  My layers are a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP plus a piece of Soft Succulent cards tock layered on a piece of Basic White and a Soft Suede base. I finished off with some Soft Succulent gems. 

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

Seaside Bay

 

If you know me, you know this is for sure my favorite suite/bundle in the new 2023 SU! spring mini catalog! The suite is called By The Bay and I used the bundle called Seaside Bay and the beautiful designer paper called By The Bay DSP. I have a Balmy Blue base and added another piece of that card stock ran through the Painted Texture embossing folder. I cut a strip of the DSP to add to the left. I cut another piece of the paper to add my birds with the Stylish Shapes dies in a stitched square. The paper already makes the scene for you looking like water and sand. I stamped the birds from the Seaside Bay stamp set in Night Of Navy ink on Basic White card stock and cut them out with the matching Seaside Bay dies. I added a little Petal Pink and Balmy Blue inks to the birds with my Stampn Blends markers.  I layered some Night Of Navy behind my square before popping it on. I was about to add a sentiment but liked it without so can send for several occasions. I did add some iridescent gems to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Beautifully Splendid

 

While I had out my new Beautifully Happy set from the SU! 2023 SAB brochure, I made a quick card using up some of the retired Splendid Day DSP. I have a Soft Sea Foam base and layered a piece of the DSP on top. I had a piece of the Distressed Gold paper cut with the Chic dies on my desk and popped it on. I used a white circle cut with the All That dies and another smaller one cut with the Layering Circles dies. I stamped on the smaller one the flower from the Beautifully Happy set in Soft Sea Foam ink plus the sentiment in Soft Suede ink. I finished off with a gold gem. Remember, you can earn the Beautifully Happy set for free with a 100.00 or more purchase from SU! Jan 5th through end of February 2023. 

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

Happy New Year & Happy Birthday!

 

Happy New Year to you and yours! I took off for a few weeks of crafting and posting! I needed to also clean out my craft space and put away holiday/fall stamps/supplies. Today, I have a new stamp set you can find in the SU! 2023 Sale-a-bration (SAB) brochure which starts this Thursday on Jan 5th and runs to the end of February. You can earn sets/DSP for free when you purchase SU! products. This set is called Beautifully Happy and it is on page 13 of the new brochure and you can earn it free with a 100.00 or more purchase. I was happy to be given it for free in November when attanding the Onstage event in Jacksonville FL. 

About the card: I started with stamping the image on a piece of Basic White card stock in Soft Suede ink. I used my water color pencils to color it in. I grabbed Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo. I then layered a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock behind before adding on the Flirty Flamingo base with a piece of the gold hive paper on top.  The gold hive paper cut out is from a Paper Pumpkin kit we had in September. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink on a Ornate Frame die cut on white card stock. I finished it off with a few Brushed Brass Butterflies. 

Hope your first Monday in 2023 is beautiful and thanks for stopping by!
