Daffodil Daydream

Posted on March 28, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

It’s spring and the sweet little daffodils are shinning their little faces up to the sun, that is when it isn’t raining. Daffodils always make me think of my childhood since my mother always had them on the table for Easter. Always one of the first pops of color in the garden that my mom loved to tend. So today I thought I’d share with you some cards that use the Daffodil Daydream (157786) stamp set and their coordinating Daffodil Dies (157794).

This first card teams up the images that have been colored with our Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends

and highlighted with the beautifully versatile Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) done in our In colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. And this next card uses that same Evening Evergreen to create this lovely Easter card.

The 2021-2023 IN Color Designer Series Paper (159254) adds a bit of interest with it’s pattern and some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) adds a bit of shimmer and sun kissed look to the flowers.

And for my final card this final fun fold card

The sweet little Brass Butterflies (158136) and lovely stitched edge adds some nice details too.

If you love daffodils as much as I do why not stop by my Online Store and check this lovely stamp set and dies out today?

The True Beauty Bundle (158976) is one of those versatile products due to it’s beautiful images can be used on it’s own or that can be teamed up with other favorite products you already have.

This first card today was stamped with the True Beauty Bundle (158976).

The lovely little Brass Butterflies (158136) add a bit of shine to draw your attention to the sentiment that has been cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820). And this next card uses the lovely die to create a backdrop that highlights the flower.

The Vellum card stock softens the background paper and the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (157980) that has been die cut with the Layering Circles Dies (151770) for a bit more interest and texture.

And how about this next fun fold card that uses our Merry Merlot to crate a rich focal point for the sentiment panel.

The lovely 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (159185) add some shimmer and the sentiment from the Happiness Abounds (159238) stamp set completes the card.

This last card uses a fun blocking look using the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (158822) to highlight the focal point that has been punched out using the Decorative Circle Punch (159174).

Greatest Journey Masking Technique Card Tutorial

Posted on March 24, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that I made for my daughters friend who loves to run and it uses a fun masking technique that you create with a Blending Brush. This technique can be a lot of fun and the options are endless depending on the colors you choose.

today’s card uses Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo – a color combination that struck me as a good choice for running. (And the fact they had thought of an orange car made me think it would be a hit. lol).

The card uses the Greatest Journey stamp set which is filled with some wonderful sentiments such as this one. Let me show you how I created this fun card in my video tutorial.

Check it out and enjoy.

By the Bay

Posted on March 23, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

As the weather warms up and spring break approaches I always think about the days along the lake front growing up. It really doesn’t matter what time of year, I just love to hear the waves crashing along the shore so when I saw the By the Bay Suite Collection (160450) it called to me.

This Suite is filled with wonderful colors and images and you’re going to love the little Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls (160449) which area simply wonderful for that die that opens and closes.

This first card uses the little shell as the focal point of this card with movement. It’s been cut using the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291) and the die both cuts and embosses the shell. Texture has also been added behind the shell with the torn paper edge technique and sand stamped images.

And this next card also uses shell images, this time the focus is on highlighting the gold foil found in the By the Bay 6×6 Designer Series Paper (160434).

Not only one of the shells has been cut using the Gold Foil Sheets (132622) but also the mat for the scene. The Cascading Ruffles 3D Embossing Folder (159169) adds the feel of the water and the Label Me Fancy Punch (151297) add a quick and simple way to add the sentiment.

And this last card uses a fun little stitched edge to the circles found in the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) to cut out and highlight the little sand pipers. The colors on this card give me such a peaceful feel when I look at it. How about you?

The color combination of Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Balmy Blue are clean and make simple this card makes a soft and sweet Thank You card to send someone.

And just to share – I thought I’d share a picture that I took when I went back for my Class Reunion last September from my walk along Lake Michigan. A little different shore line that I used to hang out at as a teenager since its a bit farther north of Milwaukee, but this park and views were quite lovely all the same.

If you love the shore side too, why not check out this fun Suite of Products in my Online Store and get yours today.
