Happy Veteran’s Day to all of our Veterans. I am so thankful for each and every one of you!
A friend’s birthday was yesterday and she loves the more rustic look. I don’t do that very well. I lean more towards brights. But in looking through the designer series paper, which is where I get a lot of color ideas, I found what I thought would work. It is the Pressed Petals DSP. I have used the solid “burlap or linen” sheet of paper previously. I hope she and you like this one.
I paired the flowers with the burlap / linen background with Crumb Cake and Merry Merlot. I added Rococo Rose as a lighter pop of color. I also added the solid piece of the burlap / linen sheet behind the sentiment. The flower and sentiment are from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. I had not utilized that set in some time and am thrilled with how well it worked here.
Do you recognize this layout? It is a landscape version of the deer card I did last week for the sketch challenge.
Here is the layout card I mentioned:
And here is the card I did previously using the linen look DSP:

I have a very different card for you today. It is quite different from my normal style. I have layers and layers of die cuts. This bundle of products lends itself perfectly to this style of card. So I had to give it a try.
See what I mean??? Very unlike my normal card. But I am happy with this one. The products are the Sea of Textures and the Under The Sea matching Dies. They were previously a bundle, but carried over to this current annual catalog and are no longer at the 10% bundle discounted price. They are definitely still a great deal though.
I chose “water” colors of Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, and Pool Party card stock to make this card. I added in some Soft Suede and Sahara Sand as well.
I love this sentiment! What a great one for encouragement for a graduate or someone headed to a new job or off to college. I paired it with the Story Label and Timeless Label punches. My sweet friend Julie DiMatteo is who showed me how well these two punches layer together.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back on Monday for more new projects.

The Tea Together and Tea Time Dies were never a bundle but are a super pairing of products. It gives a very classic scene for a card.
I paired the sweet products with the softest of the Stampin’ Up! colors. It is the Purple Posy. Sadly, there are still failed results for the Purple Posy Ink. So Stampin’ Up!, with their great care for quality, has decided to give up on the Purple Posy Ink. All of the other Purple Posy products will still be available. The Stampin’ Blends works beautifully as you can see in the tea cup.
I stamped the tea cup in Highland Heather and then colored parts with the Purple Posy Stampin’ Blend Light. The flower is stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with the Purple Posy, Light Highland Heather, and Light Old Olive Blends.
The tag is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Birthdays and is puched using the Classic Label Punch. After punching, I put the one end back into the edge of the punch to make the flagged end.
The background designer paper is from the In Color Designer Series Paper for 2019-2021. I used two different patterns of the Purple Posy DSP.
Thank you very much for checking in today. I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.

I love sketch challenges. It is a perfect way for me to begin a card. In other words, it makes my life much easier! So today I am playing along with the Global Design Project #214 for a sketch challenge.
It is also the first time I have inked up the Nature’s Beauty stamp set. Oh my! I adore this stamp set!! I hope you will give it another look. It is on the last page of the Holiday Catalog.
Here is the sketch for the challenge.
That deer is so pretty. He , or she, is so peaceful looking. Exactly what I wish for this Holiday season. I hated to add the sentiment and cover up part of the deer. But after seeing the beautiful script of the sentiment, I fell in love with it as well. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas. I have all of the “Itty Bitty” stamp sets. This one is especially great with different fonts for the variety of Christmas wishes.
The background designer series paper is from Magnolia Lane DSP. I thought the leaves paired beautifully with the deer and his woods. To emphasize the “snow”, although you have to use your imagination there, I added the Shimmery Crystal Effects to the base of the trees and at the deer’s feet.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you will come back tomorrow for another new project.

I am back to holiday cards today. I am combining the Cup of Christmas Bundle with the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper. This paper is a favorite of mine. I am sure you have noticed that as much as I have used it!
It is hard to say what is the star of this card. I love the designer series paper. I have used three different patterns of the Let It Snow DSP. For the mug, I stamped on the DSP then used the matching die to cut it out.
The glitter on the sentiment of the mug is added to by Shimmery Crystal Effects. I also added just a bit of the White Snowball Accents Puff Paint along the rim of the cup. I was very light handed with it in that I didn’t want too much “foam”. I have not played with puff paint in quite a while. It is so fun.
The candy cane is cut using the matching dies. It is two pieces. There is a solid white layer and then the striped red layer. I attached the two and placed them under the cup. Just for some cuteness i added a bow to the candy cane.
I hope you will give these two neat products a try – the Shimmery Crystal Effects and the Snowball Accents Puff Paint. They are perfect for hot chocolate!
Thanks for stopping by today, please return tomorrow.
