Happy Friday, I hope you are all staying warm. I have another card for you today using the Delicate Forest Silhouette stamp set. I created my background using a blending brush and some Tahitian Tide ink. Gently apply several layers of ink over a Basic White panel of cardstock. It is important to go slow and apply several layers to get a smooth looking background. Using our blending brushes is one of my favorite ways to create unique backgrounds.
To highlight the look of this silhouette stamp set I used Memento Black ink. The greeting is from the Easter Lilies bundle. I am looking forward to using a variety of different ink colors to create more with the Delicate Forest. Happy Stamping!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you are all surrounded by the love of God, family and friends. I am not particularly big into Valentine’s Day but I thought I would share a fun love card today that you can use for Valentine’s Day, a wedding celebration or even that special anniversary. I am using the Lifetime of Love Bundle from the January – April 2024 mini catalog.
I started with a Lost Lagoon card base and added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock. But before I added the Very Vanilla layer, I used a blending brush and some Lost Lagoon ink to add a layer of color at the bottom of my card. You can use masking paper, painters tape, or washi tape so whichever way you go do make sure that you secure your Very Vanilla layer so you get a clean line.
Adding a layer of color with a blending brush is a super easy way to step up your card front. My only advice for doing this is to be patient. Adding color with a stamping sponge, sponge dauber or a blending brush takes time and your project will turn out best if you use a soft touch add layer after layer of color until you get the shade of darkness you desire.
For some reason I failed to order the dies with my order so of course my stamped images are fussy cut, but you can add the bundle and save 10% which is a win, win because you will save time cutting out the pieces. Good think I like to fussy cut. I added some colored pearls just for a little bling and while I added a layer of Very Vanilla to the inside I did not add a greeting. I have not decided yet if this is going to be a wedding or an anniversary card. Happy Stamping!

Today I am sharing a super simple card using the Delicate Forest stamp set available in the January-April 2024 mini catalog. This fun silhouette stamp set is great for a thinking of you, a sympathy card or just an encouraging card for a friend in need. I started with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of Boho Blossom.
I stamped the silhouette flower with Memento Black ink on a 2 x 4.75″ panel of Basic White and mounted it on a piece of Basic Black that measures 1/8″ larger. I stamped the greeting with Memento Black ink on a panel of 3/4 x 3″ piece of Basic White and used my paper snips to cut the end at an angle.
I attached the greeting to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a little bit of Black dot bling, but of course you can used whatever colors you want and add bling to match. That is one of the great things about our stamping accessories, there is a color to match everything! Happy Stamping!

Jungle Pals Stamp Set and Dies
Click hereor 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!
