Planted Paradise-Make It Monday #155

Make it Monday Videos, Thank You, Thinking of You / April 15, 2024 / Make It Monday

Do you love potted plants? I do, I just cannot keep them alive, so I really love the Planted Paradise stamp set, it is totally safe for me. LOL I created three cards today with varying degrees of difficulty but all doable for the beginner stamper. All you need is a stamp set, some ink and of course our Paper Snips!

Yes, this stamp set does not come with a punch or dies and so it is a fussy cut project. Don’t worry, the images are all super easy to cut out and I cannot say it enough but our Paper Snips are the bomb and will make it so much easier for you, trust me! Actually don’t trust me, order a pair for yourself, try them out, and let me know what you think!

Remember, if you want a lighter look for your leaves, stamp off first. The second generation image gives a more subtle look.

Enjoy creating this card with a variety of colors. I love the look of the Sketched Plaid Background stamp and Yay, it is carrying over to the new catalog.

I love the look of the Gorgeous Grape and the Melon Mambo inks together. It make a rich looking card, don’t you agree? Have fun creating, I am sure you will come up with some amazing cards to share with your family and friends. Happy Stamping!

It’s A Jungle Out There-Make It Monday #146

You can get one or both of these FREE as part of the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Each free item requires a $50 order, so go ahead and download the catalogs and start making that list.

Jungle Pals Stamp Set and Dies

Click here or on the image below to view the video of the three cards I created using the Jungle Pals Sale-a-Bration stamp set and dies.

These little jungle pals make great birthday cards. The sweet toucan bird is my absolute favorite. The alligator is cute too but seriously only in this stamped image because a real alligator is more dark brown then green. After all they do live in the swamp.

You can color these sweet critters with our Stampin Blend markers or watercolor pencils. Be sure to add a pack of the Blender pens to your stamping stash, they make water coloring so much more fun! Have fun playing around with the combos for the perfect shading. Happy Stamping!
