Today is Independence Day here in the US, I usually make a card to share with you, to wish America Happy Birthday! My card is red, white and blue and I chose to use the pretty fern from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set in place of traditional images…. just to be a bit different.
Anyway, wishing all my readers, whether in the US or other parts of the world a Happy 4th!!
Happy July !!!!
Today I am back with sunflowers, this time in more traditional colors and breaking out my Stampin’ Blends to do a little soothing coloring.
There is a little bit of technique going on with this one in that I stamped my outline in Daffodil Delight ink but ‘stamped off’ before stampining onto a piece of Whisper White Thick Card. This gave me a nice, softer outline in which to add my colors.
Oh my gosh – Magenta Madness certainly packs some WOW factor! I have to say that I was a bit doubtful of using all this color for my card today, don’t get me wrong – I love the color – but have paired it with Smoky Slate to give a bit of neutral support.
The Forever Fern Stamp Set has been so very popular since its debut at the beginning of June, it is part of the Forever Greenery Suite which invokes thoughts of lush greens – but I have taken the liberty of using Magenta Madness – ‘cos not all leaves have to be green, do they?
Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, we are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Kirstie’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month our theme is EMBOSSING – I must confess that I really had to put my thinking cap on for this theme, I had done one last year and wanted to make sure I did something completely different.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice.
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 Kristie’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is NEW PRODUCTS!!
Here we are on the threshold of summer and this suite kinda reminds me of summer holidays. Make a splash with the effervescent seascapes with sweet sea creatures, whales, turtles, seahorses and jellyfish (although not too sure about the jellyfish being sweet!)
The Whale of a Time suite has a coordinating punch that will cut the whale as well as a great little water spray coming out of his water spout! A DSP, the Seabed Embossing Folder, then some sequins and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. I think this will be perfect for cards for the younger people in our families!
A couple of weeks ago I shared a card using the Umbrella Builder Punch to create a punch art flower, I was so taken with the idea I decided to have another go at using it for something else ~ other than an umbrella so came up with today’s butterfly card.
This punch pairs with the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set, the large umbrella stamp created the wings, then I used one of the pretty little blossom stamps to create a decorative border with Sahara Sand ink. I am really pleased with the combination of Purple Posy and Blackberry Bliss, the result of some musing while looking at my card stash 🙂
Hi Everyone – I have been asked if I am going to do a product share for the new papers, ribbons and embellishments in the 2020 Annual Catalog……………… YES and here it is:
I am going to do 4 separate shares – one for the Designer Series Paper (DSP) and one for the ribbons and one for embellishments – you can choose to do any of them or HAVE IT ALL
I carefully pack and label all the items before shipping so they arrive in perfect condition.
Bumble Bee is the 3rd of the 5 new 2020 – 2022 In-colors I have featured so far. I have paired it with a little Just Jade and the super scrummy Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and the wooden accents from the In Good Taste Elements.
My greeting is from the very popular Forever Fern Stamp Set because I just love those words….. and it is a lovely script! You could add any message to suit your need, as I think this would be a great birthday, thank you, thinking of you type card.
This card started with a piece of Purple Posy card, which was sitting next to my paper trimmer, I ran it thru my cut and embossing machine with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders which is one of the new folders in the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog. All the decorative parts are attached to this patch then attached to the base card with 4 – 5 Stampin Dimensionals.
So who says sunflowers have to be yellow? Misty Moonlight turned out to be a perfect combination with Purple Posy and Seaside Spray.
