Stippled Roses

Need a soft lovely stamp set with classic images? Love Roses? How about the Stippled Roses Bundle (162667) found in our Mini catalog

This set has some great sentiments for the ladies and to use for special occasions and check out the soft flowing font used to convey well wishes too.

Today’s card uses a quick and easy technique with our Blending Brushes (153611) and it’s a great way to add multiple colors to an image like this one. Simply ink up your brush and “pounce” onto your image to add the color.

You’ll want to start with the lightest color first so you don’t contaminate your ink pads with a darker color. This images uses Berry Burst, blackberry Bliss, Bubble Bath and Mossy Meadow to create this soft floral look.

The background has been dry embossed with our Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) and the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (161635) gives it a bit of silver shine that is complemented by the Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220). A lovely card for a special day.

It also uses our those Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (156506), this time the copper ones. It also uses the natural trim from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack (162192). The ribbon has simply been cut in half to create a smaller width.

Hello Kiwi

Kiwi, do you remember the first time you had one of these funny little fruits? It’s not one that I grew up with and wasn’t very sure about it in the beginning. While I enjoyed them when I was out, they were a lot of work to cut, but now that I know how to peel them and get them out of their skins easily I enjoy them frequently. Have you tried the gold ones? Yum.

Today’s cards use the Hello Kiwi stamp set (161258) and focus on these sweet little tropical fruits. The images have been teamed up with the birthday sentiment.

This first card uses our bright cheerful In Colors Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party. They have been stamped and then some texture was added with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317). For a bit of shine the Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (159196) was added.

This next card uses the stripe and splatter patterns from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (161640). The kiwi were stamped using the Lemon Lime Twist Classic Ink this time and the Bubble Bath sentiment layer was popped up to add some depth.

A Bit of white Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) adds a bit of interest too.

So what do you think? Want to check out this fun little stamp set and add it to your collection? Why not stop by my Online store and see these products and more?

Filled with wonderful images of travel and sentiments that not only celebrate a trip but also new beginnings like graduation and retirement. Check out this lovely card that uses “punch art” to create an airplane.

I love the way the Iridescent Pastel Gems (160429) have been used along with the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) for the little plane and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317) adds a bit of texture to the background after stamping the image in Memento Tuxedo Black (132708/133456). The little “ticket” shape that has been used for the sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies Dies (161296).

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.

Sunkissed & More

Today I’ve got some more cards for you from Back Stage’s Sweets & Swaps event and I thought I’d start with a lovely tropical all occasions set from the July – December Mini Catalog, Sunkissed (159908).

This set is filled with lovely sketched images that can be used with all kinds of coloring techniques and can be teamed up with our Paradise Palms stamp set (157716) and coordinating Palms dies (157718) for even more options. Check out this card that uses our Watercolor Pencils (141709 & 149014) to add color to the stamped image.

This next card uses those same Palm Dies to create this lovely silhouette image that has been teamed up with the sentiment from Sunkissed.

Texture has been added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder (156505) and a bit more with the stitched edges on the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183). And take a look at this striking card that uses our Blending Brushes (153611) to create a wonderful back drop for the sentiment.

The Heron Habitat Bundle (158897) is quite striking done in the Starry Night , Bermuda Bay, and Granny Apple Green Combination. And can you see the texture behind the Deckled Rectangle Die (159173) and Stitched Rectangle Die (151820) frame that has been created with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317)?

If you haven’t noticed the Season of Chic stamp set (158810) in our Annual Catalog you might want to check it out since this Suite of products (158819) covers all four seasons in one stamp set and with it’s gold foiling it is quick striking.

These next 5 cards all use the Nature’s Prints Bundle (158801) that is one of my favorite Suites (158805) in the Annual Catalog. Not only are the sentiments done in a lovely font, but its an all occasion set with lovely images too that are perfect for all kinds of cards. This first card is soft and sweet and done in shades of Gray Granite and Blushing Bride.

This next card has an autumnal feel to it due to the color choice.

And this next one highlights 2 of our 2021-2023 In Colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.

Team Fun, Artic Bears & More

I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely fall weather. We had a warmer than normal, but beautiful sunny week for fall break. How about you? Since I didn’t share with you last week, I thought I would share some of the projects from my October Team Meeting. During our monthly team meeting we meet and stamp together along with swapping a project too. I’ll start with this card made with the Artic Bears stamp set (156428) from the Mini Catalog on page 39.

This card is a CASE (copy and share everything) from the catalog, CASEing is a great way to create when you need something quickly or are just getting started. And this next project is a fun 3D made with the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) and Artistically Inked stamp set (154542).

The sentiment has been heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder (155555) and the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack (155465) adds some texture and interest. Do you see the little 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (155571)? These jewels are so much fun and add a bit of shimmer and shin to any project. And how about this next card using the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle (156478) and Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper (156494)?

Isn’t it just great for sending during the fall holidays? And how about a fun Triangle Front Flap card using the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718).

Some texture has been added not only with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317), but also with the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326) and Opal Rounds (154289).
