I am in love with the new Scalloped Notecards and Envelopes. I shared one with you a bit earlier. You can see that one HERE. But today I have really had some fun with them. I paired it with a stamp set I was so happy carried over to the new catalog. It is the Animal Outing set. The animals are so cute and perfect for so many fun cards.
I think this turned out really cute. I actually left more room between the giraffe and the tree frog than I had intended. So I was wondering how I was going to make it work. I thought of a “thought bubble” like you see in cartoons. In looking at the punches I have, I spotted the Balloon Bouquet Punch and new it could easily become my talking bubble. I am happy with how it turned out. A lesson about being able to make a cute card when you think you have messed up!!
I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I added the Glitter Enamel Dots in various shades of green and one Crushed Curry on the talking bubble. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners of the Whisper White layer for a bit different look.
It seemed that the white of the inside of the envelope, which shows at the bottom below the scallop, didn’t look finished. I went searching for a DSP scrap that had the card colors and found the Mosaic Mood DSP has Crushed Curry. I added a 1/2″ strip to the inside bottom of the card and along the bottom of the front of the envelope.
Thank you for stopping by today. I will have another new project to share tomorrow morning. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page.

I am showcasing a variety of products for today’s project. And it is in a Gorgeous color that I have not used near enough! Can you guess the color?
If you guessed Gorgeous Grape and/or Highland Heather for the color, then you are correct! I have not used these colors in a bit and was surprised how pretty they are all over again. Paired with Highland Heather and the Tufted Embossing Folder the colors really shine.
It took a bit of figuring out to get the white layer the way I envisioned it. I stamped the flower and the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then cut up to the flower in each direction with the Stampin’ Trimmer. Next I used the Paper Snips to fussy cut the top half of the flower. Surprisingly to me, it turned out as I pictured.
I colored the flower and leaves with Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends and Mossy Meadow Light Stampin’ Blend. For a bit of added texture, I added some of the Silver thread behind the flower layer.
Thank you for stopping by today!! I very much appreciate it.

Welcome to the Pals’ June Blog Hop. We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects using “Anything with Wings”. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I am sharing birds for my “anything with wings” challenge. This is actually my second card. I switched from butterflies to birds.
This is the negative of the Stitched Nested Labels that I shared on Monday’s card. I love getting two cards from one piece. I embossed the So Saffron with the Subtle Embossing Folder prior to cutting with the Stitched Nested Labels. (They are bundled with the Free As A Bird stamp set!) The gorgeous DSP is the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.
The birds are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. I decided to fussy cut the birds to give more dimension to the card. The trick is to turn the paper and not your scissors! I also stamped and cut out the small flower from the stamp set to anchor the banner at the top.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed my card and the projects of the other Blogs in the Hop.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, July 10, 2019 when our Hoppin’ Pals share their “Mixing It Up” projects. Don’t miss the fun!
I have trying some new products for today, but am mixing them with carry overs. The main new product is the Magnolia Lane Cards and Envelopes. They are in a great Craft or Crumb Cake card stock with some silver embossing. I love that look of elegant mixed with a more grounded color.
I paired the Botanical Bliss stamp set and dies for a different look to this base. I stamped inside the framed area with Crumb Cake Ink, using the flower from First Frost, to add a bit of background. I die cut the tag and then watercolored it.
I used Shimmery White Card Stock as I think it is perfect for watercoloring. I was a bit different on my watercolor. I scribbled with markers on a clear block and then used the Aqua Painter to pick up the ink. It gives a softer look I believe. However, since you cannot purchase individual markers, it would work perfectly fine to get ink in the lid of your ink pad and pick it up that way.
The Crumb Cake tag is the new Timeless Label Punch. I shortened it to fit on the tag without hanging over the sides. The Metallic Pearls were an add on that I believe worked well. The red ribbon is a retired one that I found a piece in the bottom of my ribbon drawer as I was pulling out retired ones. Couldn’t let that go!!
I also used markers and stamped the flower image onto the front of the matching envelope. I try to remember to add that little touch.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you will reconsider, or look at for the first time, these cards and envelopes. It is a great deal.

I have shifted to the Subtle Family for today’s card. I love the look of the subtle colors, I just tend to pair them with brighter colors. Today though is all Subtle.
I am showcasing the Floral Essence Bundle. I love punches and am so thrilled that a couple of the new bundles include punches in our new catalog. This one is a flower builder punch. It is just a single punch, so you don’t feel like you are wasting paper with the little pieces. Although there are some great extras in those multi punches!
I stamped three of the tri-petal stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends combo, and punched them out. You can easily do just two , but I wanted a bit fuller flower. I added the new Perennial Essence Floral Centers instead of trying to stamp a center. These fuzzy little guys are just so cute!!
The background is a leaf from the Floral Essence set as well. It matches the Leaf Punch too, great deal! The Stitched Nested Labels are the focal point of this card almost. I used the Subtle Emossing Folder before cutting out with the die. I love all the stitching! And it leaves the stitching on the negative also. So you will be seeing a card with that negative soon as well.
The sentiment is from Dandelion Wishes and one of my favorites. I am also thrilled that the White Flax Ribbon carried over. It is “just enough” to finish the card.
Thank you for stopping in today. Sorry for the later post.
I have a cute little card to share today. But first I need to make a correction to a statement I made on yesterday’s notecard. The Vanilla and Whisper White Note Cards ARE still available in the new catalog. I mistakenly said they had retired. YIKES!!! I am so sorry, and thrilled that I was wrong.
Okay, on to today’s project. I am sharing the Daisy Lane stamp set. This is the new set that matches the original daisy punch, with the bonus of fitting the smaller daisy punch. The small one is new and is a bundle to this stamp set.
After saying that the Daisy Lane has a new matching punch, I did not use it. The flower I chose to use does not fit the punches. It was not hard at all to fussy cut.
I stamped the ferns in Garden Green and the base of the flowers in Old Olive Ink. The flowers are stamped in Mango Melody and then colored with the Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends. A super easy card to do.
One of my go to ribbons is the Linen Thread. I wrapped it around the top two layers three times and then used three strands to make the bow. Quick and easy and I love the texture that it adds.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you will return on Monday and hopefully I will have all of my new products put away and organized to work with. I have been in a mess this week!! Hopefully you have a wonderfully weekend.
