Country Flowers

Posted on by

Do you love the colors and feel of the country? How about those flowers we find dotting the fields and in our yards? If so the Country Flowers Bundle (163411) mighty be something you’ll enjoy playing with for your next project.

This bundle which includes Dies is part of our Country Woods Suite of Products (163418) and is filled with all kinds of options and the Designer Series Papers are just lovely. Check out today’s cards using this Bundle and other products found in the Suite. These first two cards use the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393).

Stampin’ Blends give a bright bold bucket of flowers for this card, while this next one uses our Watercolor Pencils for a softer look.

And how about this next card which has a softer look since it uses the Country Lace Designer Series Paper (163415) and our new Basic Beige along with soft pastel Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers.

The stool uses a fun little technique – a simple stamping on a piece of the wood paper from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) gives the stool a wood feel. And finally this last card uses the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189) to create background that has a lot of texture to it.

So what do you think? Can you see the possibilities? I love the sentiments in this set as they not only use a lovely font, but is filled with all occasions greetings we need to to have on hand.

Under the Moon

Posted on by

It’s the lazy days of summer and I’m dreaming about the beach, how about you? I have always loved the water and watching the waves roll in. Lake Michigan was a great place to go in the summer as a teen as it was always cooler on the water. The Under the Moon stamp set (163531) makes me think of those lazy summer nights with my friends.

Check out these lovely cards using this stamp set. The first card uses some simple heat embossing with our Metallic Wow! Embossing Powders (165678) to create a back drop of stars.

The Layering Leaves stamp set (161277) has a perfect image for this and the Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (162011) adds another pop of gold. Recognize the sentiment? It’s from our Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378), since this is an image only set you can choose your favorite sentiment set to go with it! And I hope you can see it but the moon has been cut out with our Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) that have a lovely stitched edging to highlight it.

This next card has a tropical feel to it since it uses our In Color, Summer Splash and the Perennial Postage Dies (162607).

Don’t you love the little dolphins?

Same stamp set, very different looks and feel. It’s one of the things I love about stamping – so easy to change things up with just a bit of color!

Why not stop by my Online Store and check this lovely set out today? And don’t forget we have 24 Hours of FREEE Shipping today only!

Thoughtful Expressions

Posted on by

Love hummingbirds? I started to enjoy them about the time we started camping in the mountains years ago as they weren’t something I saw often growing up. My mother in law had a feeder on her porch and we’d sit on the swing watching them. I was amazed at just how close they would come to us. As we moved into our new home, I made sure to have one up in front of my dining room window so I could enjoy them. So when I saw the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (1628915)

It was one I thought would make some beautiful cards and it includes some sentiments that aren’t typical ones we find in sets. So today’s card uses this wonderful little hummingbird image to create a card I’m afraid we need more often than we’d like.

This card uses a watercolor wash for the hummingbird and then a layer of VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) and clear embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) to really make the little guy pop and give him depth.

The Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (163317) adds a bit more shine to the project and a lovely shimmer and the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) have been used to cut out both the paper and sentiment panels.

So what do you think? Can you see creating those cards you need using this stamp set like I can?

Summer. Sun, water, and sand…there is nothing like a day at the beach or pool during these hot summer days. So today’s cards highlight the Seaside Wishes Bundle (163498).

With it’s fun coordination pieces and all occasion sentiments.

Today’s first card uses a simple tearing technique and adds a bit of color to the edge with our Sponge Daubers (133773).

This next card uses the same torn edge technique to create the sand but add a bit of texture with the So Swirly Embossing Folder (163791).

It also uses our Stampin Spritzer (126185) filled with and Basic Beige Reinker and alcohol to spray the Sand dollars and star fish to add a bit more texture to the product. Little Iridescent Foil Gems (162842) add a bit of shine.

And finally this next card uses a quick and easy resist technique.

Basic stamping has been done for the cards sentiments and rocks, then the sand dollars have been stamped with VersaMark Pad (102283/102193). After a that it’s been heat embossed with our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679). Finally using our Blending Brushes (153611 or 160518) Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock, and Azure Afternoon has been added and the excess wiped off with a paper towel to create the emboss resist.

Once again the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (162587) add a bit of shine and texture.
