Amazing Hearts

Today’s card is a bright and happy card.   The designer series paper and the little stamp are the stars.  I also made it a 4 X 4 card.  It would be perfect to give as a Random Act of Kindness.  You could also use the same items and make it a 3 X 3.

 

Yay You, 145946

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

I have recently used quite a bit of Night of Navy as a grounding color.  Today though I have changed it up a bit and gone with Pacific Point.  It is definitely another of my favorites.  And of course, who doesn’t love Calypso Coral.  This beautiful DSP is one of the Sale-A-Bration FREE items.  It is on the reverse side of a piece from the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper.  I fell in love with it immediately.

The stamp set is one of the Host sets from the Occasions Catalog , called Yay You!  It has Amazing sentiments.  I have used one of the others and this one a couple of times.  I believe this is the first time I have used other stamps though.  It will be a keeper for me, even after it retires.  I love good sentiments.  And to finish it off, I added a matching heart from the Metallic Shapes Embellishments.

Remember that there are only two days left on Sale-A-Bration!  If thee are still items on your Wish List, now is the time to order.  And think of the retiring In-Colors as well.  They usually go out of stock before the new catalog arrives.  That means stock up on them now and reward yourself with FREE product at the same time.

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you have a great rest of the day and weekend.  Please stop back on Monday to see what I have for you.

A Lovely Day

I am in love with the second Sale-A-Bration release Designer Series Paper named Springtime Foils.  It is probably one of the most beautiful ever.  And if you are into 3-D it is the perfect weight for boxes, etc.  I have simply used one of the pretty pieces and lightly colored sections with the Stampin’ Blends in Light Old Olive.  It colors wonderfully as well.

 

Lovely Wishes, 145924

 

Isn’t that paper gorgeous??  It comes with the silver embossed stems and leaves and the addition of the gold touches.  I merely colored the leaves with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  The sentiment is from Lovely Wishes.  I gold embossed it over the stamp, which seemed to mimic the paper design.  Metallic paper is difficult to photograph.  Especially when you do not have really good lighting.  It is Gold Foil DSP behind the sentiment.  And to finish it off, I added a Gold Metallic Shape.

I always feel like I am cheating a little bit when I do not stamp very much on a card.  However, there is no way I could stamp and have it as beautiful as this DSP.  This was a second release of SAB.  Please do not forget that SAB ends on the 31st!!  You don’t want to miss out on some of these great products.

I hope you hav a great day and will stop back tomorrow to see what I have for you.  The complete supply list is at the bottom of the page.

Hello Friend

I am CASEing my Stampin’ Up! Team Leader, Brian King, on today’s patchwork card.  Brian has created several different cards using leftover strips of card stock.  Since I have been cleaning lately, I found I had quite a lot of little strips of card stock and DSP to either throw away or use.  I chose to use them of course.

 

A Good Day, 145873

 

 

And yes, that is the much used by me stamp set “A Good Day”.  I cannot apologize though.  It is a favorite and I keep going back to it when I am looking for something small.  I did not want to overwhelm the quilted look layer, so I went with a cute little design and a simple sentiment.

To adhere the strips, I covered a piece of whisper white with the Multi-purpose Adhesive sheet.  Then I just layed the strips down. Once I had the paper covered, I simply trimmed off the excess strips with my paper snips.  The hardest part of this is deciding which strips to use and then the color to use as the background layer.  I like those kind of difficulties. 🙂

The card base is the Tutti-Frutti Cards and Envelopes that are a Sale-A-Bration item.  These are wonderful.  I wish there would be something similar in the annual catalog.  It makes putting together a great card with matching envelope a piece of cake.

Speaking of SAB……there are only a few days left for you to take advantage of this annual offer.  It is also the absolute best time to join Stampin’ Up!  You can get quite a lot more in your Starter Kit for the same price.  I would love to have you join my team.  Hobby Demonstrators are the core of Stampin’ Up!  . That is how most of us begin.  I just wanted the discount to support my stamping habit.  Who doesn’t love a discount.  Plus you would have access to exclusive projects and ideas created by other demonstrators.  If you are thinking about it, please contact me and let’s talk.

I hope you have a great day and I appreciate you stopping to see my card for today.  All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

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.

 

Stampin' Up!, Sheltering Tree, Jackie Beers

Sheltering Tree, 137163

 

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!!

A Good Day, 145873

 

 

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!
