Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Make it Monday Videos / February 5, 2024

Hey all I hope you are having a fantastic Monday. I am here today to share four cards I created with a 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder (OSW) template. I mainly used the Easter Lilies Bundle and Pecan Pie card stock. I hope you will download this OSW template and have fun creating lots of cards.

I either started with a Pecan Pie or a Basic White card base and some Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper, but you can create using whatever colors and patterned paper that works for you. That is the beauty of this One Sheet Wonder (OSW) template, you can create something different every time. Click Here or on the photo below to access today’s Make It Monday tutorial.

Fun with Metallic Enamel Effects

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / February 2, 2024

Well we made it to Friday, yahoo! It has been a week. I guess some weeks are just busier than others and I think we will all agree that no matter how busy life gets there is always time for crafting. Today I am sharing a card I made using our Metallic Enamel Effect. These amazing bottles are so great for adding a special touch to your crafting project. The only real trick is patience. You will need to let them dry completely before you assemble.

It may be difficult to see how beautiful they really are with just a photos, so I suggest you order a set today and give them a try. I admit I was a bit impatient and perhaps I did not let mine dry completely. It still looks good, just some of my dots may be a little more flat.

I chose a Starry Sky card base and added another Starry Sky layer that I dry embossed using the new Layered Floral embossing folder. This is by far my favorite embossing folder. I choose to accent the smaller flowers with a dot of the silver Metallic Enamel Effects, again you will need to let them dry completely! No problem right? We can just move onto another crafting project while it dries.

I stamped my greeting with Starry Sky ink and although I did not use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach my floral layer, I do think that would be a nice added touch. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out. Happy Stamping!

Everyday Details Bundle-Happy Retirement!

Happy Wednesday all and what a very happy Wednesday it is for my sister-in-law as she officially retired yesterday! Yahoo! Bring on the fun and relaxation! And in honor of her retirement I am sharing the card I created for her, although she might see this post before she gets her card!

I decided to use the Everyday Details Bundle and go sweet and simple with the teacups. I stamped the greeting on a 3 x 4 piece of Basic White and layered it to a Blueberry Bushel panel and then added it to a Basic White card base. I colored the teacups with some of our Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and yes, I fussy cut the teacups. Sorry I just could not help myself.

I added a few Tinsel Gems in blue and quickly put it in the mail. Congratulations Diana I hope you enjoy many, many, happy healthy retirement years! Happy Stamping my friends. Stop back Friday for another Favorite Things Friday post!

Fresh As A Daisy ~ Favorite Things Friday!

Easter-Spring, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / January 26, 2024 / Fresh As A Daisy DSP, Perennial Postage Bundle

Hey there my stamping friends. I am back today with another favorite designer series paper pack from the 2023-2024 annual catalog, Fresh As A Daisy. This amazing paper pack with make card making an daisies just happens to be one of my favorite flowers.

I love the softness of the Boho Blossom daisies in this paper and so I started with a Boho Blossom card base. I chose Cajun Craze ink to compliment the background color in this sheet of designer series paper.

I used the dies in the Perennial Postage bundle to crop a Boho Bloom and Basic White layer. The greeting that I stamped with Cajun Craze ink is from the Timeless Arrangements stamp set.

I guess you can already tell that one of my favorite new bundles is the Perennial Postage Bundle. Get a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set or paper pack when you place an order for this bundle or any $50 order. Just click on the images below. Happy Stamping!

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / January 24, 2024 / Designer Series Paper

Happy Wednesday. Today I am featuring one of our designer series paper packs in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, Countryside Inn. The colors featured in this paper are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy. This paper pack is featured on page 129 in the AC catalog. I combined this paper pack with a one of the new bundles in the January 2024 mini catalog, Perennial Postage.

I began with a Basic White card, added a panel of Night of Navy, followed by a panel of the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I used the flip side of this paper to create the greeting tag, cropping it with one of the Perennial Postage dies. The greeting is stamped with silver ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I think you will love the versatility of this new bundle. The dies are great for creating cards and scrapbook pages. Have fun playing with all these blues and creating with the new postage dies. Happy Stamping!

Flowers in the Winter-Painted Lavender!

1 Comment / Easter-Spring, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Sale-a-Bration / January 10, 2024 / Painted Lavender Bundle, Sale A Bration

I thought since it is really rainy and snowy this week having a pop of spring would be nice. Flowers are always fun, no matter what the season. This summer my husband and I planted some Knock Out Roses, mainly because I don’t have a green thumb and I heard these were virtually indestructible. Well, three out of the five plants began to bloom and this past week even though the temperatures were very cold, one single rose appeared. I think that was my mom giving me a sign from heaven that she is still watching over all of us.

Today I am sharing a card I made with the new Painted Lavender Bundle. I did not actually use any of the dies from the bundle, just the stamps and a greeting from Timeless Arrangements. Cards flowers are the best, because they always look good, cost relatively little investment and are definitely indestructible. LOL

I began with an Orchid Oasis card base and stamped two lavender leaves with Orchid Oasis ink on a 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Basic White CS, mounted it on a layer of Orchid Oasis, then another Basic White panel and finally to the card front. I stamped some leaves with Old Olive ink, but stamped off first using the second generation as my image. I also stamped some of the grass at the bottom.

The greeting is stamped in Orchid Oasis, mounted on a 5/8 x 2-1/2 panel of Orchid Oasis CS and attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. This would also make a fabulous Easter card!

The Painted Lavender Bundle is new in the 2024 January Mini Catalog and very popular as it is already on Low Inventory. Order yours today and add a pack of paper to get a free Sale-A-Bration product of your choice. Happy Stamping!

Painted Lavender Bundle-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / January 5, 2024

Happy Friday! I trust you all had a blessed Christmas Season. Being with family truly is my favorite thing and we were blessed to have both kids home for the holidays.

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted. I was having a few technical difficulties. Good ones as this year my kids gave me a new computer, actually my son built it and some of the parts took longer to get here than anticipated, so I was without a computer for a bit. But today I am excited to share a new bundle from the January 2024, Painted Lavender.

I stamped three lavender leaves on a 2 1/2 x 4 piece of Basic White cardstock with Gorgeous Grape ink. I stamped and cropped two more and added them using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I layered the Basic White with a Mossy Meadow cardstock layer and added a Mossy Meadow twine bow.

The greeting is from Timeless Arrangements and is stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cropped with the coordinating die. I also used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the greeting. happy Stamping!

Nature’s Prints – Happy Birthday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / August 1, 2023 / Artistically Inked, Nature's Prints, Two Tone Flora

Today I am combining the flowers from Two Tone Flora, the greeting from Artistically Inked and the dies from Natural Prints. I have to admit I don’t often use Natural Prints dies, I tend to go for the stamps so I am challenging myself to create with the dies. If you are in a crafting rut and are having a hard time getting those creative juices flowing, just pick a set that you haven’t used for awhile and see what you come up with.

I began with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a pop of color with Cherry Cobbler for my flowers. I did fussy cut a few individual flowers…..it’s just who I am! LOL Call me crazy, but I have to admit, I think the reason I don’t use this die much is because it is not quite a round wreath! Again, it is just who I am! Happy Stamping!

Two Tone Flora-Hello There!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards / July 26, 2023 / Two Tone Flora

Sometimes you just need a flower pick me up and the Two Tone Flora stamp set is a perfect way to chase the blues away. This fun card was created using Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss ink. I stamped off for a second generation lighter image with the solid flower image with Blackberry Bliss ink. The detailed stamp in this two-step stamp set was inked and stamped with full juice!

The Mossy Meadow and the Blackberry Bliss combo gives a very elegant look, but every time I stamp with this set I am amazed at how great these florals look in all color combos. Try a few combos in both light and dark colors, I know you will not be disappointed. Happy Stampin’!
