Sale-a-bration’s Watercolor Melon

Posted on February 13, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

While it is a rainy winter day here in Georgia there is a taste of spring in the air so I thought I’d share a fun set that will make us all think of those warm summer days that aren’t far off.

Watercolor Melon Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration 162962) is a photopolymer stamp set that makes the two step a breeze. The images have a fun watercolor look giving you a built in shading that makes the melon look real too.

Check out these cards to see what I mean. this first card uses simple stamping to create a fun card. Done in Sweet Sorbet and Garden Green it uses a fun angle for the sentiment.

And while this set is a sentiment set it makes it great for choosing a stamp set like the Perennial Postage Stamp set (162598) to team it up with. And this next card uses the same sweet Sweet Sorbet 1/4″ Ribbon (162558) for a little pop of texture on the watermelon that has been punched out using the Modern Oval Punch (162234)

which makes popping it up like it is on this card a snap! This next card teams up these fun images with the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (Online Exclusives 1611598) for some texture in the background and the Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusives 162735).

A pop of shine has been added with the Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels (158130). You’ll love how these rhinestones pick up the colors around them. And our last card uses a fun gingham check in Blueberry Bushel from the Glorious Gingham 6×6 Designer Series Paper (163170) for a summer time feel.

The watermelon uses a simple technique called shadow stamping. The melon was first stamped in Lemon Lime Twist Classic Ink and then again in Garden Green Classic Ink. The second color is just slightly lower than the first image allowing you to see both colors. And the vines use the stamping off method to create two different shades of the Garden Green. Both area great techniques that allow you to use stretch your stamping skills and supplies!

It’s a full week of Sale-a-bration this week, with just 17 days left to earn this wonderful products I thought it would be fun to highlight some of them! Today, it’s the Cradled in Love Stamp set (Sale-a-bration 162956).

This stamp set is perfect to create wonderful products for those who are expecting a wonderful bundle of joy in their lives. Check out these two cards using this stamp set. While both cards our soft and sweet Bubble Bath for their jumping off point they have different feel to them. This first card uses a combination of Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie to create a soft natural look.

The back ground has been dry embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration 162947) which is part of another Sale-a-bration Bundle.

The embossing has been done on only part of the layer so that you have texture, but the texture creates the illusion of a wall and floor. The crib has been fussy cut and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. while the sentiment has been die cut using our Perennial Postage Dies (162607). A bit of color has been added to the texture with our Blending Brushes (153611) and a bit of shimmer with the Iridescent Foil Gems (162842).

And today’s final card uses the Lighter than Air Designer Series Paper (162747) for a soft subtle background of stripes. The image has once again been colored with our Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends.

But this time Lost Lagoon has been teamed up with Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam. The lovely ribbon, Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (162588) adds a pop of bold color and shine.

This first card uses the soft Bubble Bath and have teamed it up with Lemon Lime Twist. The Watercolor Painted was used to color the images to create a quick and easy wash of color.

And if you don’t recognize the sentiment it is from our Quiet Reflection (162689) that you can find in our January – April Mini Catalog. For a bolder look this next gift card holder uses the Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, and the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (162573) with it’s lovely foiling.

The background uses the Notes of Nature stamp set (163203) and the dogwoods have some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) to add a bit of shimmer. Sponging and a bit of wash gives the card a softer feel. Open it and you have a spot for a gift card

On the Farm

Posted on February 23, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

I grew up in the rolling hills of dairy farm land as a child so the On the Farm Bundle (160652) spoke to me immediately when I saw it. And while I live in North Georgia now, right our neighboring farmer has the calves in the field next to us, keeping them close as they adjust to being away from mom. It’s always fun to watch them frolic and play in the field.

Here is a fun card done in Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake using the Bundle.

The sentiment has been punch out with the Double Oval Punch (154242) and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) which gives it a bit of texture an interest.

So what do you think? Look like something you’d enjoy? And great news this set of On the Farm Dies (160660) fits in our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss (160881).

More fun with Adorable Owls

Posted on February 8, 2023 by Stamp with Jini

I can’t get enough of this adorable little stamp set, how about you? So today I’ll be sharing some of the swap cards that I received using this cute little guy. I just love how you can use the set for all kinds of cards.

How about some friendship cards to start? Here is a fun one that uses our new Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) for the fun little swing that the owl is sitting on.

Our Basic Border Dies (155558) and fun Three Twine Combo Pack (160597) and Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) compliment another of our Sale-a-bration products, the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper Stack (Sale-a-bration 160836). Cute right? And this next friendship card takes on a whole different feel that is more nature geared.

This time the Soft Suede layer has been dry embossed with our Timber 3d Embossing Folder (156406) for some texture. The branch has been cut from Mossy Meadow using a die from the Meadow Dies (155852) and the Stylish Shape Dies (159183) adds a bit more texture with it’s stitched edges and Vellum Card stock piece.

And these next three cards a great for celebrating. This first card is bright and cheerful and it pulls it’s color pallet from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper Stack (Sale-a-bration 160836).

And how about a fun faux window card?

This card is done in softer colors and uses the By the Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (160434) giving it a landscape feel to the backdrop. How cool is that?

And finally a fun little graduation card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Regency Park Designer Series Paper (160559)

to create a classic Blue & Gold combo. A Bit of our Metallic Woven Ribbon (159198) and Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (160582) complete the look.
