Today I have CASED Julie DiMatteo from her Wednesday Night Facebook Live. If you have not viewed any of Julie’s videos, please go to YouTube or her Facebook page and check them out! She is awesome and has quite a few 3-D items. Look for ThePaperPixie.com. But Wednesday was the Watercolor Smooshing technique. And I have to say that it is addicting!!

I had the Lemon Zest Bundle on my first order from the new Annual Catalog. I fell in love with the sentiments immediately. Then I didn’t get around to using it until recently. Previously I did a quick card using our Note cards and Envelopes. However, this card is pretty quick to make as well.
Lemon Zest Bundle, 145360
For today’s card, I stamped the lemon slice on Whisper White with So Saffron. I debated on just stamping off, but thought the lighter tone would do better. I then stamped the two sentiments on each end of the Whisper White strip, and then layered the three strips together.
I used the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers to splatter old olive onto the sliced lemon sheet and daffodil delight onto the sentiment strip. Other than stamping and punching out the lemon and leaves….that is it! See I said it was quick and easy!!
I am playing with a few of the Stampin’ Up! Host Rewards Stamp sets in the coming week. Today is the first of them. This card is made with the Tranquil Tulips set. It is a beautiful set, and it just inspires you to try all colors of tulips!
Tranquil Tulips,143767
My color choices for today were just from me asking myself what would be a pretty tulip color! This set makes any color beautiful. So I came up with these.
The tulips are stamped in Rich Razzleberry without stamping off! I intended to stamp off for the first one and forgot, so when I stamped the top layer I really liked it. These are definitely easy to use stamps and very forgiving as well. The texture covers up our mistakes. So I did all of the stamping full strength and it still resulted in a variegated look. Win/Win.
The sentiment is from Label Me Pretty and punched with the matching punch. (You can get these as a great bundle). I added the ribbon and even though it is Fresh Fig, it works wonderfully with the Rich Razzleberry.

This is my second card using the super cute stamp set “You’ve Got Style”. This lady is just adorable and a super “smile” card maker.
You’ve Got Style, 143898
I did not use any designer series paper today. That alone is unusual. I also did not start with a color combination or even a plan. I know, crazy! I stamped the lady and her kitty and then started coloring. I used markers this time instead of watercolor pencils. I wanted a bolder look.
After I got everything colored, I then decided on a color scheme and knew that it had to be bright. Therefore Real Red and Daffodil Delight seemed to fit perfectly. Since I did not use any designer paper, I felt like it still needed some background design. I looked around and came up with this stamp from Oh So Eclectic for a random background pattern. I think it worked perfectly. Also, I could not leave off some “Bling”. So the necklace and the kitty each received a small rhinestone for some sparkle.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I very much appreciate hearing from you and reading your thoughts on the card.

I have another quick and easy card for you today. The sets I have used are older, but wonderful, stamps that I have not utilized in a while. So I dusted them off and came up with this card
All Things Thanks, 143097
This is such a sweet card and takes only a couple of minutes and minimum product to complete. The color choice came from the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack. It has such unique patterns and is a group of the new InColors for 2017-2019.
The base and Ink are Dapper Denim with the variegated piece of DSP. I bordered the DSP with a layer of Whisper White card stock and then bordered the Whisper White stamped piece with Dapper Denim card stock. The flowers are from Flower Shop stamp set and have a matching punch. I just stamped the center one with full strength Dapper Denim ink and then the other two are stamped after stamping off once. If you haven’t tried that technique it is a great way to give some depth to your stamped collage type areas.
The sentiment is from All Things Thanks set. Most of the sentiments in the set are a variation of Thank You, except for this one. I use it frequently! And to finish off the card, I added Clear Faceted Gems to the center of the flowers.

The set I used today is the Ribbon Of Courage set. It is an awesome set for so many reasons. For me, it is the versatility of the solid ribbon. Almost every medical issue has a colored ribbon to bring awareness. With this solid ribbon you can make an appropriate card for any need. My card for today is a pink ribbon.
Ribbon of Courage, 143855
The sentiment is from the Ribbon of Courage set as well. I think the sentiment is perfect for all of us every day! The softness of the Powder Pink is perfect for this card and is such a wonderful color. The DSP is the InColor Designer Series Paper pack. Another Must Have in my opinion! I cut the ribbon out with the largest of the ovals in the Stitched Shapes Framelits. For a little extra touch, I added a few of the smallest pearls to give the card a little dimension.
