Simply Amazing

This card is “amazingly” simple and quick!  Did you catch that?  It actually is true.  Other than cleaning the stamp to change colors, it is a couple of stampings and done.  Take a look and you decide .

Do you see what I mean?  This was so quick that multiples of it would be a piece of cake.  I simply stamped the Heartfelt Blooms stamp in Smoky Slate, cleaned it, and then stamped in Night of Navy.  The “Amazing” is the thinlit die  from Celebrate You Thinlits.   I did use the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet, which turns the words into a sticker.  A definite Must Have in your tool box of supplies.  No more making a mess with glue for detailed dies. WooHoo !!

I do have to admit to CASEing this from a card I found in my swap box.  It came from one of the ladies in my Stamp Club in one of our swaps.  I love going through these occasionally.  They are perfect for giving inspiration.

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

 

The center of the flower is the White Perfect Accents.  It fit “perfectly”  (wow, I am on a roll today) with the muted tone of the Smoky Slate.  And a tip for you:  you can color these with the Stampin’ Blends to get any color accessory that you need.  How awesome is that?  To finish off this cute card I added the Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon with just a little knot.

You Warm My Heart – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

 

 

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Today’s hop is filled to the brim with projects that celebrate Spring and Summer. With inspiration from Katrina & the Waves’ song “Walking on Sunshine,” we’ve created projects that share the joy and excitement that accompany warmer weather. We are excited to share our projects with you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Nothing says warmth like being out in the sun.  So when I considered the theme of today’s hop, I immediately thought of the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  A beautiful sunny day and relaxing beneath a big tree is what I was looking for.

Taking a break under the tree is such a Summer thing, and I cannot wait for it to get here.  So I was excited to make this card following today’s theme.  I picked the colors to be bright and summery as well.  The Crushed Curry from the Color Theory Designer Seres Paper Stack was perfect.  I love the added texture the crackled look of the paper gives.

My sunshine is from the SAB set Amazing You.  It makes the perfect sunbeams. The finishing touch was the Brights Enamel Shapes element of the heart to match the sentiment.  This truly was a quick card.  Since the stamp set is photopolymer it is so easy to line everything up.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Robin Myren at http://Robin Myren at Songbird Designs by Robin

Here’s To A Good Day!

I am doing a different look to one of the cutest sets in the Occasions Catalog.  And Yes, I am referring to the A Good Day stamp set.  I have used it quite a lot, but isn’t that why we purchase sets?  I have definitely enjoyed this one!!

I CASED this card from a card I found when going through some old swap cards.  I love finding inspiration in older cards.  (And it justifies me having a bunch of stuff hanging around!)  In truth though, it is another quick and easy card to make.  So I hope you will CASE this one as well.

I stamped and colored with the Stampin’ Blends the cute little animals from the stamp set.   I had already decided my second color was going to be Calypso Coral.  So I gave each animal a touch of it and then used it as the scalloped circle color.

To give some definition to the Island Indigo base, I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool ( A Must Have tool !!) and scored around all four sides.  Of course that didn’t seem to be enough.  I then added the scores across the center.  That made me happy and I was finished.  Sometimes it is just the little things that finish a card.

Thank you for visiting today.  The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you like this card and will come back tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop.

As Sale-A-Bration is winding down, (only 2 weeks left.) I hope you will consider joining my BlueLine Team of Stampers. You would also be joining the InKing Royalty Team as well.  We have an awesome group of very talented demonstrators and we love sharing ideas with each other.  Contact me and lets chat about it!

A Daisy a Day

I have been thinking about the new catalog coming soon and at the same time worrying about which of my most loved stamp sets will be retiring.  I want to see the new additions, but hate seeing some of my favorites go away.  So I am bringing out some of them to enjoy.  Here is one of my favorites.

 

Daisy Delight Bundle, 143669

 

 

Yes, I did just use this same stamp set last week.  I can justify it as it is a favorite and super for quick cards.  And who doesn’t love daisies??  Today I paired it with the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack. (Another DSP to stock up on!)  I adore this crackle paint look.  It seems like a peeling fence with a daisy peeking out.

I stamped directly on the DSP and then colored with the Stampin’ Blends.  The daisy is stamped and colored with the Stampin’ Blends as well.  I also stamped the sentiment directly on the DSP.  I like the simple look it gives.

Thank you very  much for checking out my post today.  I very much appreciate it.  The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.  I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

Petal Palette

This is my first card using the Petal Palette Bundle.  I feel silly, because it is an AWESOME stamp set and dies.  DUH !!  I used it as the first card I made for the GDP color challenge.  But then I decided on the daisy card from yesterday to submit instead.  So here are the same colors with a totally different look.  And isn’t the what we are all about?  Creating with what we have is what we do.

 

Petal Palette Bundle, 145974

 

 

It is hard to believe that the two cards are made with the same colors.  If you did not see yesterday’s card, you can see it HERE.

 

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

Other than the dies, this was a super quick card.  The layers are simple and plain.  The bird is colored on the stamp with the Stampin’ Write Markers in Soft Suede and Calypso Coral.  I like the softer look it gives.  I debated on filling in the white space on the bird, but decided it was fine just as it is.  The strip of DSP has all of the colors in it as well.  I thought it was a great way of tying it all together.

There is one thing I used that is a must have for the intricate dies like the branch/leaves.  That is the Multi-purpose Adhesive sheet.  You simple place a piece of it on the card stock prior to cutting out the image.  When you are finished cutting, you simple remove the white layer off the back and the piece is now a sticker.  No messy glue is needed.  YAY !! This is one of the best ever products.

Thank you for visiting with me today!  I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!  I will hopefully see you back here on Monday.  The complete list of supplies I used is at the bottom of the page.

Daisy Color Challenge

I am submitting today’s card for the Global Design Project 129 color challenge.  The colors are Soft Suede, Pear Pizzaz, and Calypso Coral.  I actually made two cards because I love all of those colors together.  I will post the second card next week.  But for today we are going with Springtime and Daisies!

 

Daisy Delight Bundle, 145361

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

 

 

My pear pizzaz and calypso coral colors are from Designer Series Papers.  The Pear Pizzaz from Coffee Break DSP and the Calypso Coral from the Delightful Daisy DSP.  My daisy is stamped in Calypso Coral and colored with the lighter Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.  And then to add even more of the Calypso, I added the 1/4″ Ombre  Ribbon in Calypso Coral as well.

The sentiment I used is from the  same set and probably is intended to be on the inside of the card with a large Thank You on the front.  Of course, I had to be different.

Thank you for visiting today!  The supplies are all listed at the bottom of the page.  I love to read your comments and appreciate every one of them.  Have a great rest of your day!!
