We recently had some new neighbors move into our sub-division, remembering how lost we felt when we arrived I like to leave a little card on their porch to just introduce ourselves.
I have had the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set in my stash for a couple of months now but had not yet used it {shock/horror} …. and it has the perfect ‘WELCOME’ stamp!
There are times we need a sympathy card, not the happiest of cards to make but Stampin’ UP! has colors and images that make it easy to design them.
I used the Forever Fern Stamp Set with the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set for my sentiment to create a simple but heartfelt card. I love this set, having used it for different occasions, you can scroll down a little way to find some links to other cards.
I was looking thru my posts the other day and realized I had not yet introduced you to the last of the 2020 – 2022 In-Color – Cinnamon Cider! So today I share that color along with BumbleBee which is a perfect coordinating color.
I also used the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp set paired with the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set for my greeting, which would be perfect for just about any occasion.
Happy August!
You know Stampin’ UP! has 50 different choices in their current color families, one might say we were spoilt for choice! Rather than resort to my ribbon drawer for inspiration today, I stared at my paper rack and decided on Flirty Flamingo to start then looked for a neutral, Early Expresso and Crumb Cake came to mind, then I spied one of the new in-colors, Cinnamon Cider! They went together perfectly!
I used the Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set along with my Stamparatus, as the main stamp is quite large and so much easier to handle with the Stamparatus.
When I saw that Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon had been carried over to the Annual Catalog I was so thrilled, it is 1/4 wide, has sparkly bits in it and ties the most scrummy bows! As so often happens with me it was the starting point for today’s card.
I also used the Forever Fern Stamp Set again, this time with two shades of blue ( who said leaves had to be green?) This has the most wonderful variety of leaf images, so easy to build up a great design.
Once again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from Gez’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is Celebration! – other than a birthday!
So thinking about this a little more I decided that Anniversary would be a good theme, especially as I have a number of family members who are celebrating anniversaries in the coming months.
The simply beautiful Field of Flowers Stamp Set makes it easy to give your friends and loved ones hand-stamped cards featuring a summer meadow in bloom and watch their faces light up!
I have used Terracotta Tile but you could swap out for any color for the recipient’s favorite, lets face it Stampin’ UP! has plenty to choose from!
I think when you send a card you send a little piece of your heart, when you send a handmade card, well that is just a little bit more ‘heart’ going into the envelope!
Today I have a trio of parasols using the Pretty Parasol Stamp Set and Umbrella Builder Punch, paired with the lovely bright and cheerful Daffodil Delight and Whisper White.
I shared earlier this week that the 1/4 Grey Granite Shimmer Ribbon is a firm favorite – it goes with just about everything. I have also said in the past that my ribbon drawer is often the inspiration for some of my designs, so it goes without saying that my favorite ribbon would start the ball rolling on a card….. and so here it is!
I chose the Forever Fern Bundle, which has the Forever Fern Stamp Set and the Forever Flourishing Dies. If you are looking for an all occasion bundle then this is the one for you – it has the DistINKtive style of stamps which gives your images depths of color by just stamping once!
I am having a bit of a ‘thing’ with the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper – the soft florals in Basic Grey, Grey Granite, Petal Pink and Whisper White are just gorgeous, so much so I designed my July on-line class around this decorative paper.
I call this a ‘panel card’ because it is made up of several panels, showcasing several different designs, the paper takes up the entire design, with the Many Mates Stamp Set for the greetings. I also wanted to show that you could use the same design to meet multiple occasions by just changing out the greeting.
