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!

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 🙂
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.
If you are looking for a really versatile stamp set you cannot go wrong with Field of Flowers, I just love the big ‘ALWAYS…..” then to use one of the other greetings to personalize your exact sentiment. There are 7 of them – Thinking of You, In my Heart, My Friend, Love, to name a few. I chose to use ‘my friend’ on the inside of this card.
There is the coordinating Confetti Flowers Border Punch, which I used to decorate the bottom edge of my card today. …….. and guess what ? this stamp set and punch are available as a 10% off bundle!

You will have either arrived from Sue’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is ANYTHING GOES!
At the beginning of the year Stampin’ UP! introduced the Umbrella Builder Punch to go along with the coordinating Under My Umbrella Stamp Set (which has the most delious pair of welly boots – which is very on-point at the moment) Anyway, I am so thrilled, these are now part of the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog!
I like to see if I can make my goodies do more that one thing so I have used the punch to create a flower!
