WISHING ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY A HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

I made this card for Mothers day.  Inside is the sentiment “so he made you.  Now isn’t that perfect for Mama?  Clean and Simple, CAS.

The stamp set is from Flourishing Phrases, page 24 in the AC.  The image is made using the glimmer paper from Myths & Magic, page 37 in the OC.  The dies, Flourish Thinlits, can be found on page 216 of the AC.  I layered the whisper white CS front  with basic black CS over our thick whisper white CS.

It is always good to have these cards on hand.  I thought this sentiment could be used for with a sympathy card or a get well card.  The sentiment is from the stamp set, Flourishing Phrases, page 24 of the annual catalog.  The thinlit dies for this set can be found on pg 216, Flourishing Thinlits.  This set has 15 different sentiments with beautiful images.  It is a 2 pack set that is totally awesome.

I used Whisper White CS and the Turquoise Glimmer paper, found on page 37 of the Occasional catalog  In addition, I used the adhesive backed multipurpose sheets, pg 203, AC, to attach the images to the CS.  I colored the Rhinestones with a black sharpie.

I love this stamp set, found on page 27 of the Occasions catalog.  It is another one of those awesome sets that you can bundle and receive 10% discount until the end of May.  Both the set and dies are being carried over to the new catalog in June but they will not be bundled with a discount.  Good time to invest in the set and save some money.

I used the embossing folder, Petal Burst, page 210 in the Annual catalog, for the background on Very Vanilla CS.  The colors I used on the card are Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede.  I used silver foil sheets, pg 194 to die cut the Cross.  My card base is Crumb cake.  Hope you like it!

04. May 2018 · Comments Off on Retiring Dies · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

If you want to make sure you get these dies for this card, you will have to order them by the end of May because they are retiring.  So sad.  Some of my favs.  I used the stamp set Waterfront with this card and it is found on page 48 of the Occasions catalog.

This set is so versatile.  For those of you, like me, living at the coast, the palm trees are especially awesome!  Here I used a fall theme, only because our warm weather was so late getting to us.  However, finally it has arrived, and I hope not to have our temps go below 80 from now until the end of Summer.

I used the DSP, Wood Textures, page 187 in the annual catalog, which by the way is not retiring. Woot, woot!  I used the window sheets, pg 194 and the Glitter enamel dots, pg 196.

03. May 2018 · Comments Off on I love a rainbow! · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

On this card, I used the die cuts,Rainbow Builder Framelits dies, page 33 of the Occasion catalog.  You can save 10% right now until the end of May if you combine both the stamp set and the dies.  I used the sentiment from the set, Lift me Up, pg 58.  The background is Soft Sky CS which I am afraid is retiring along with the set and dies.  I also used Wink of Stella, not retiring, pg 200.

05. April 2018 · Comments Off on Myths & Magic · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

Another card made with the set Magical Day, pg 37, OC.  Here I colored the Unicorn with Berry Burst marker and Pink Pirouette blender.  I outline the clouds and unicorn in light Pool Party Blender.  I cut out the embellishments from the Magical Framelit dies, glimmer paper, and Washi tape, all on same page to finish off the card.  I love the whimsical look and hope you like it too.  The sentiment is from Sprinkles of Life, pg 78 AC.

30. March 2018 · Comments Off on Birthday wishes · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

I really love this set, Picture Perfect Birthday, pg 5 of the OC.  It is so versatile.  As you can see from previous postings I have gotten a lot of use from this set.  I used the embossing folder, Simple Stripes Textured Impressions for the back ground and rolled LemonLime Twist Ink over the embossing folder before sending it through the Big Shot.  I also used the beautiful 1/4″ Ombre Lemon Lime Twist ribbon, pg 198 of the AC.  In addition, I used the Light Green Glimmer paper, pg 37, OC backing the Stitched Shapes circle, pg 214, AC. Colors used in the image were Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist.

29. March 2018 · Comments Off on Thinking of You · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

On this card, I used 2 stamp sets, Waterfront, pg 48 of the OC and Colorful Season, pg 147 in the AC.  I used the Layering Oval framelits, pg 213, AC to highlight the Palm Trees in the Waterfront set.  I used Tranquil Tide ink, Crumb Cake and Marina Mist for the water.  The sentiment if from Colorful Seasons and the Beach chair is cut out with the matching Seasonal Layers, pg 216 AC.  Both of these sets work very well together.

25. March 2018 · Comments Off on One of a Kind · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

I got the idea for this card from another Demostrator, Priscilla Ivler, from Stampin’ Connection.  Thank you Priscella for your inspiration.

I did change the card around a little.  I used the DSP Myths & Magic, pg 37 of the OC. The stamp set is Magical Day, same page. In addition, I fussy cut the soldier from the DSP.  I used the dies, same page, to cut out the Dragon and the Mermaid.   The sentiment is embossed in white on the DSP paper.  I used the Brick embossing folder, page 210 AC, for the background.  To color the images, I used Light and dark Blends. pg  30 OC, Pool Party on the Dragon and Night of Navy & Ivory on the mermaid.  I layered Rich Razzelberry CS in back of the brick.

23. March 2018 · Comments Off on Paper Piecseing · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

This is one of my favorite techniques when designing cards with Flowers.  For this card I used the set Amazing You pg 16 of the SAB catalog.  I stamped the image in Tranquil Tide and then colored it with pool party.  I then used a blender pen to blend in the tranquil tide ink already on the flower.  I fussy cut just the top of the flower out and glued it  on top of the original image.  I added a Gold faceted Gem, pg 197 AC.  I used the Stitched Framelits to cut out the whisper white CS, page 214 AC and the regular Oval Framelits, same page, for the Crushed curry CS.  The DSP is Whole Lot of Lovely, pg 188 AC.  Celebrate is cut out with the Big Shot, pg 209 AC and the die used is from the SAB catalog, page 17.  The Stamp set you can get FREE with a $50 purchase and the Framelits you can get FREE for a $100 purchase in product from either the Annual Catalog or the Occasions catalog.

I love this set and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.  The stamps, Magical Day, page 37 of the OC and the matching Framelit Dies, Magical Mates, can be purchased as a bundle saving 10% for both.  I designed this card using the Myths & Magic DSP, same page, and colored the images with our new Blends, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay, pg 30.  In addition, I used Rich Razzleberry ink for the sentiment. This is another one of those stamp sets and matching dies that you will have so much fun using.  Hope you like it.

19. March 2018 · Comments Off on Brusho Butterfly · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I created this card using our new Brushos, pg 26, and the new stamp set, Beautiful Day, same page.  I used Watercolor paper, pg 194 and Frog Tape (non SU) to mask off the edges and create a border.  I then embossed the butterfly with our copper embossing powder, page 201 of the AC, and then added the Prussian Blue & Moss Green Brusho to the butterfly.  The In addition, I cut out the sentiment with the Thinlit Dies, Celebrate You, in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, pg17 using our Copper foil, page 194 of the AC.  Before adding the sentiment I spritzed the paper (with the mask still attached) with water and then sprinkled Yellow and Moss green Brusho to the background of the card. Please contact me if you need further instructions.

I have already used this set so much.  It is so awesome and so versatile.  You can find it on pg 32 of the OC.  It also has the matching framelits Dies (same page) and if you combine them both you can get a 10% discount on the bundle.  It contains 19 dies and is such a fun bundle,  I used Early Espresso, silver foil for the bottle caps and burlap ribbon.  The DSP is True Gentlemen, pg 45 of the OC. In addition, I used Tranquil Tide for the sentiment and stamping the stars.

07. March 2018 · Comments Off on Magical · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

Hoot Hoot!

This is one of my favorite Thinlit sets, Celebrate you pg17, from SAB.  I embossed the butterfly, from Beautiful Day, pg 26 OC, with Copper embossing powder.  I used watercolor paper and filled the image with water.  I then sprinkled Brusho color, pg 20 OC, on the water and used an aqua painter to move the color around.  Colors I used were Brilliant Red, Yellow and Gamboge.  After the image was dried, I sprinkled yellow on the front of the card and gently spritzed with water to provide the background.  I selected Basic Black card stock for the sentiment and cut it out with the Big shot, pg 209 of the AC. Multipurpose adhesive sheets, pg 203, AC, were used to adhere the sentiment to the card front.

I really love this incolor and will be sorry to see it go.  But we do have some beautiful new incolors to replace the outgoing ones.  Certainly makes it interesting every year.  Fortunately there were no changes to our core colors this year.
I used a mint macaron wash for the background on whisper White card stock and die cut the flowers and leaves with the Stylist Stems Framelits dies on page 42 of the OC.  I used the SAB glimmer paper in addition to the Mint macaron sheer ribbon found on page 178 in the AC.

I am really disappointed that this set, page 48 of the OC is retiring.  As far as I know, the Build it framelits dies have already been sold out.  Since this is such an awesome masculine set and it went over so well with just about all of our customers around the world, maybe SU will think of designing another set with matching dies in the future.  I am hoping that maybe they will decide to come back with this set.  Wouldn’t that be nice.  Wishful thinking!
Colors I used were Soft Suede, Smokey Slate and Crumb cake.  I added the Urban Underground Embellishments on page 47.

Ok, I am obsessed with this stamp set, Nailed it, page 48, oc.  I love the fact that there are die cuts that go with these stamps and I think I have made at least 5 or 6 different cards with them so far.  The possibilities are endless.  What I love about this set are all the embellishments, washi tape and DSP that you can use with it.  These are all listed on page 47 along with the lovely embossing folder, Hexagons Dynamic Textured impressions.  In addition, another stamp set in this same catalog, Urban District can also be combined to make dozens of masculine cards for Dad or the men in your life.  Save 10% by buying the bundle.

I cased this card from a You Tube video a while back and now I cannot find the name of the person who created it.  If any of you out there know who I owe this inspiration to, please let me know so I can give her credit.
Both the dies and stamp set can be purchased together to save a 10% discount.  I used silver foil, Island Indigo, and Whisper White Card stock.  In addition, I used A little Foxy DSP, page 174 in the AC.  The embellishments, Urban Underground, page 47, are from the OC.  This is the coolest bundle, I love everything that goes with it.  No problem making masculine cards with this set.
