A Thinking Of You Windmill

 


I just love this DSP called Flowering Fields DSP. I cut an upper corner of one print for the field here I layered on a piece of white card stock cut at 4" square and then added to a Petal Pink 4 1/4" square base. I then cut the mini tulips out in Petal Pink card stock to lay across the top of te flower field with the Windmill Fields dies. I stamped the windmill from Tulip Fields set in Soft Suede and colored with my Ivory and light Crumb Cake Stampin Blends markers. I cut it with the same matching dies. I stamped the clouds in Smoky Slate ink and then the sentiment in Rich Razzlberry ink from the Special Moments stamp set you can earn free with sale-a-bration (SAB) which starts January 4th, 2022. All these products shown start that day with the release of the new SU! spring catalog. 
Hope you have a beautiful last day of 2021. 
Thanks for stopping by!

In The Moment With Water Color Pencils

 


Another card with the new set called In the Moment which will be available to order next week on Jan 4th, 2022 when the SU! spring mini catlog starts. This time I colored the image stamped on white card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink with my Water Color pencils and blender pen. I used several colors of the pencils and then went back over them to blend with my blender pen. I then cut the image out with the Stitched Shapes die and layered it on a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock stamped with the sentiment several times in Basic Gray ink and a piece of Basic Gray card stock before adding to the white base. I finsihed it up with some silver epoxy dots. For the coloring, I used Blushing Bride for the pillows and skin, Flirty Flamingo for the blanket, Crushed curry for the dog, Rich Razzzleberry for the socks, Balmy Blue for the jeans, Smoky Slate for the cup and book, and Early Espresso for the hair. 

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

In The Moment With Stampin Blends

 


My first play with the In The Moment set from the new spring mini catalog coming next week on Jan 4th, 2022. It has three images so worthy of coloring. I stamped this one twice on white card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored one seen here with my Stampin Blends markers and the other one in Water Color pencils which I will post tomorrow. I colored then cut the image out with the Stitched Shapes dies and layered it on a white background embossed with the new Gingham emboss folder also found in the new catalog. I ran some twine with a bow around before adding to the Balmy Blue base. I also simply added a few blue gems to finish it off. As for the coloring, I used Pool Party for the bedding, Balmy Blue for the blanket and socks, Night Of Navy for the jeans, Crumb Cake for the dog, Pale Papaya for the cup and pages of the book, Pale Papaya and Daffordil Delight mixed for the cover of the book, Ivory for the skin, and Cinnamon Cider for the hair. 
Hope you have a cozy day and thanks for stopping by!

Second Polar Bears Thank You Card

 


This is the second card I made with the Arctic Bears bundle. I wanted to use the blending brushes again for the background. I grabbed Bermuda Bay ink plus Mango Melody and Calypso Coral inks to blend on my white background. I then stamped the bear in Gray Granite ink on white card stock and cut him along with a solid white bear and the ice from the Polar Bears dies. I stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink on white and punched it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch.  All was added to the Bermuda Bay base. Super easy card! 
Hope you have a lovely Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

First Polar Bear Thank You Card

 


Hoping you have had a wonderful Christmas weekend full of many blessings! I traveled to Charleston SC the 16th thru the 20th for vacation with my family. We just spect some time together enjoying most food and drink around the historic town. When I returned, I made a few thank you cards for family with the Arctic Bears bundle. That is pretty much all I have done in weeks. I will get back in the start playing with some new items this week. 
Here is my first card using the Arctic Bears bundle from the holiday mini catalog and Pattern Party DSP from the annual catalog host rewards. I love black and white and paired it here a  little Pool Party. 
I cut a 4 1/4" square base in white and added a piece of Pool Party card stock.I also cut the DSP for the background. I stamped the bear in Memento Tuxedo Black and added a little Pool Party ink via my Stampin Blends marker before cutting with the matching Polar Bear dies. I also blended the same color on my white Wonderful Snowflake cut out with my blending brush. I then stamped the sentiment in Memento Black on white card stock and cut with the Ornate Frames dies. Super simple. 
Have a blessed Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Wonderful Poinsettia


I cased myself here but making it a full card and different sentiment on the bottom. You can see my first card here. I cut the poinsettia three blooms from Cherry Cobbler card stock as well as the gold foil stems with the Poinsettias dies. I stamped the berry stems plus the leaves in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the Poinsettia Petals set and colored them with the Stampin Blends markers in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. I cut them with the matching dies, too. I wrapped the gold ribbon around the white panel stamped with the sentiment from the Tidings & Trimmings set in Cherry Cobbler. I added all to a piece of Old Olive card stock and a Cherry Cobbler base. I finished off with some Mango Melody rhinestones to the center. 
Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stoppin by!

A Painted Christmas This Year

 


I wanted to play again with the Painted Chrsitmas suite and cut into this print of pinecones from the Painted Chrsitmas DSP I have been hoarding. I added the print to the bottom of my white piece of card stock embossed with the new Gingham emboss folder coming in to the new spring mini in January 2022. I wrapped the Evening Evergreen ribbon around before placing on the Evening Evergreen base. I cut a label from the Seasonal Labels dies in Real red and stamped the sentiment from Tidings & trimmings in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped from the Christmas Season  set pinecones in Crumb Cale and Early Espresso inks, berries in Real red ink and leaves in Evening Evergreen ik and cut them with the Seasonal Labels dies. Two gold leaves finish it off. 
Hope you have lovely day and thanks for stopping by!
