How about this stamp set with coordinating dies ? perfect for making a card as well as a 3D truck for little treats, gift card holder, place marker for your dining table.
The Ride with Me Stamp set and Truck Ride Dies gives you plenty of opportunities to create some great projects.
What a cheerful little chappie this bee is – so cute offering a flower along with his thanks – don’t ask why I think this is a boy rather than a girl bee – it just looks like a little fella is my only reason!
The Bee Thankful set is a single stamp, it is nice and big so covers a lot of space, allowing you to make a quick thank you card! I paired it with the 2018 -2020 In colors using the Stampin Write Markers
On Monday I introduced you to the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Punch Bundle and promised another card made with it, this time a fancy fold called a Slider Pop Up Card.
The decsion for my color choices was made when I chose to use the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper – which uses 5 of the different greens available in the Stampin’ UP! color families.
Daisy’s are such cheerful flowers, I have a Shasta Daisy bush in my garden which produces flowers all summer long. I also have a South African Daisy which has bright yellow petals and a deep purple center – very dramatic…. and finally one of my Yorkie’s is also called Daisy, so you could say that daisys are a big part of my life!
Today’s card uses the Daisy Lane Stamp set along with a couple of my favorite punches, make sure you come visit me again on Wednesday when I have another card to share using the full Daisy Lane Bundle.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a card using a color combination that seemed unlikely but simply presented itself (check here) – well it happen again when tidying up my workbench………… Terracotta Tile paired with Grapefruit Grove – a couple of scraps I was putting away that suddenly said…. ‘just a minute’.…. there is something going on here!
So I went with it – putting a Very Vanilla Card layer in between to give it a little more definition. During my clean up I also came across a couple of flowers stamped and punched with the Floral Essence Stamp set – so it was just a case of pulling it all together.
Just want to wish all my lovely customers and followers a HAPPY July 4th holiday. I truly value your support and look forward to the second half of 2019!
Today I am late with my post – to be honest I am a couple of days late – but I have a good reason!
On Saturday evening our house was struck by lightening! A big flash, bang and the strong smell of ozone – it fried our cable service (internet, TV), all the switching powers supplies for various electronic devices ( including our phone service!) then a TV and the dishwasher! So we have spent the last couple of days piecing our lives back together – Friday we go shop for a dishwasher! 🙂
I have a video technique to share today which shows a simple but very effective technique – sponging – I use it a lot in my cards and other projects and I think it benefits from revisiting from time-to-time.
I was tidying my work bench – it happens from time to time, especially if I find myself looking for something that is really right under my nose if I just had not put ‘something else’ on top of it! I have often said that if I had just half of the time back that I spend looking for something that is right in front of me, I would get so much more done in a day……. can anyone else relate?
Anyway – as I say – I was tidying my workbench and found some scraps from the Garden Lane DSP from a project I had finished a couple of days before. I could not bring myself to throw them away, so pulled out some Whisper White Card along with a Garden Green Card base. I did not trim the DSP in any way, they are exactly the size and shape l picked up! 🙂
I shall be introducing my DSP share in the coming weeks – so watch this space!
This is the 8th in my series using the Stamparatus by Stampin’ UP! The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool and an absolute must have for all stampers. It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’
I am using the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set for this technique as I find it I get a better result if I have a lot of smaller images rather than a few larger ones. It also gives me the chance to use lots of different ink colors as well.
