Bright & Beautiful Balloons

Yesterday I shared a quick and easy card made with the Beautiful Balloons Bundle (161457) so today I thought I’d share another card made with the Suite of products which includes not only the bundle but paper too!

This card uses small strips of the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (161449) and coordinating strips of dry embossed card stock using the Exposed Brick Wall 3D Embossing Folder (161600)

to create a textured back drop for these bright balloons done in Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo and Azure Afternoon. And the Parakeet Party rounds out this cheerful color pallet that is perfect for all ages!

What do you think? Can you see the possibilities with this Suite of Products?

Beautiful Balloons

Today’s card is quick and simple and it uses our Beautiful Balloons Bundle (161457) found on page 15 of the 2023 Annual Catalog.

This stamp set has fun little sentiments for celebrating all kinds of occasions, just check out the sentiments. And today’s card uses the fun little confetti balloon image that have been cut out using the large Beautiful Balloon Dies (161457).

The edges of the balloons have been sponged with the Parakeet Party Classic Ink and the coordinating 2022 In Color Baker’s Twine (159195) has been used too along with Poppy Parade and Lemon Lolly card stocks. I hope you can see the texture in the background of the balloons, it’s the versatile Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) that has been used. A great folder to add to your supplies since you’ll reach for it time and again.

This card definitely uses a fun cheerful color combination that will make the recipient smile. You can find all these new products in my Online Store so why not stop by and check them out? Then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another fun card using the Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection (161460).

Summer Fun with Circle Sayings

Today’s cards have a summer vibe and use the fun Circle Sayings stamp set (161348) two step shell image.

This first card uses the fun colorful, Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (161449 just $10.62 during June) to create a back drop.

The panel swings up when you open it on this fun fold to create a pop up effect for the sentiment.

And this next card teams up the Waves of Inspiration stamp set (158833) to create a lovely beach scene.

A lot of fun and a clever way to use the Waves of Inspiration stamp set. The torn edge of the Crumb Cake gives you a feeling of the shore and is simple technique that adds a lot to this project.

Fresh as a Daisy

Today’s cards all use the lovely Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (161289) that is part of the Fresh as a Daisy Suite of Products (161301). This suite contains the Cheerful Daisy Bundle (161297) that was used to stamp these cards.

These first two cards use the one sheet for a traditional look and feel.

I love the way that the vellum is used to soften the look of the Designer Series Paper and create a softer look. How about you? And this next card uses the wonderful Moody Mauve sheet to create this next card and a different feel.

And this paper has got a great sheet of easy panels that you can use to create a card front – just add some daisies and a sentiment. And if you love jute, you’ll want to be sure to look for our 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) that was used for this last card.

Beauty of the Deep

Summer has started and that always makes me thing of the beach. How about you? I got my first real taste of snorkeling and fell in love with it. Normally we had start off the beach, but the boat allowed a much different experience and there was much beauty in the Molokini Crater. So when I saw the Beauty of the Deep Bundle (161237) in the 2023 Annual Catalog I knew is would be a great one for ocean themed cards and would bring back those wonderful days of snorkeling.

Today’s card was created with the Beauty of the Deep stamp set (161233).

The background has been brushed with Lost Lagoon and Blueberry Bushel to create a watery effect and create movement. And the lovely little Iridescent Pastel Gems (160429) were used for the bubbles and picks up the colors around it. A die cut anchor done in Pebbled Path adds a bit more depth to the scene.

Can you feel the movement of the water? And the sun?

Fun Folds with Designer Series Paper

It’s Friday and that means it’s time to share another fun tutorial with you. This month our Designer Series Papers are on sale and so I thought I’d share a fun fold with you that shows off our beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467). After all who isn’t a fan of blue? And this paper with it’s shades of blue is one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog. It’s also on sale during the month of June, woohoo who doesn’t like to save?

I’ve teamed up this paper with the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052) because I love the bold sentiments. The fact that you can team up the bold sentiments with the secondary sentiment which uses a lovely font is a bonus too.

And with so many shades of blue to choose from in our Classic Inks your options are endless. Today’s project uses our new 2023-2023 In Color Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and our returning Balmy Blue Classic Inks.

Soft & Lovely Artistically Inked Card Tutorial

Today’s card has a soft vintage feel to it and is a quick and easy card that uses three of our new colors. This Color Refresh is the best one I’ve seen yet as I love the color selection and the fact that we have great pairs that you can team up for two step stamping too.

I’ve used the two step Artistically Inked Stamp set (154542) to stamp this card. It’s a Cling stamp set, but it’s a very forgiving stamp set making stamping easy since it’s not designed to line up perfectly.

I’ve got a quick tutorial for you so you can not only see how I created it, but can also make one too! My PDF has the complete supply list and measurements for you.
