Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Sale-a-Bration / August 5, 2022 / Wonderful World

Yahoo! It is Friday and time for another Favorite Things Friday post. Today I thought I would share a card that I created using the FREE SALE-a-bration bundle, Wonderful World. This bundle include a stamp set and a pack of gorgeous paper. Today I am only featuring the set, but check out this amazing SALE-a-bration product that is FREE with a $100 order. OUR HOST CODE IS: FERKHP24

I began with a Basic White card base and added several layers, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and that amazing Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper. The Happy Anniversary is from the Celebrate You set and stamped with Melon Mambo Ink. I used the Stamparatus so that I could ink the flower in Melon Mambo and the leaves in Old Olive. I really do love the versatility of our Stamparatus!

You really don’t have to do much to this set, because these gorgeous flowers make a statement with minimal effort. SALE-a-bration ends on August 31st, so don’t delay, add this amazing bundle to your cart today. OUR HOST CODE IS: FERKHP24 #blessedbycards

Thinking of You / August 4, 2022 / Bewitching Bundle, Wisteria Wonder Bundle

Hey all I am back again with one more card using the Bewitching Bundle! #blessedbycards This time I was really trying to think outside the box, so I added the greeting from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set. This is a another amazing new bundle featured in the 2022-2023 annual Catalog. I featured the Wisteria Wonder Bundle in one of my Make it Monday videos and used the flowers to create a Christmas tree scene. CLICK HERE if you missed that video. #blessedbycards

I decided to use another piece of the Gorgeous Grape CS for my card base. I used the star stamp to create a background on the 4 x 5¼ white panel using Granny Apple Green, Crushed Curry and Highland Heather inks. I again added a bit of Gorgeous Grape ink to the 3 x4 white panel before stamping the feet and greeting. This panel is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a ribbon or bling to finish off your project.

Bewitching Bundle-Gingham Cottage

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / August 2, 2022 / Bewitching Bundle, Halloween

I hope you have had a chance to check out the new Gingham Cottage Designer Series paper in the July-December 2022 Holiday catalog #151651. It has some amazing colors and this 12 x 12 pack of paper has 48 sheets. The orange patterned design is perfect for today’s Halloween card which also features the new Bewitching Bundle #159857 #blessedbycards

I began with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of the Gingham Cottage DSP. I stamped the witches feet with Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blend markers, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green. The hat is also stamped in black on a scrap of Granny Apple Green CS and punch using the Witch Hat Builder punch. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it.

The sweet little stars are also on the punch, so I used a piece of scrap Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green CS and attached to white panel. The stinkin’ cute spider, although I really hate spiders, adds the perfect touch to this fun, and semi-spooky card. I attached the Basic White panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is just one of the cute Halloween sets available in the July-December catalog. Check them out, Collect them all. I am sure your kids, grandkids and neighbors will love getting a card from you.

Bokeh Technique-Make It Monday #68

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Make it Monday Videos / August 1, 2022

Today I am excited to share with you the Bokeh Technique so you can create a fun background for your next card. Bokeh actually means the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens. I created my background using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz inks. You will also need a sponge dauber and some Basic White Craft ink.
