Gallery Blooms and Everyday Arches

Gallery Blooms Bundle #165213

The stately Gallery Blooms Bundle #165213 has an entirely different feel when paired with the old favorite Country Woods 12X12" Designer Series Paper #163393. The flowers are colored with Pretty in Pink Blends.

Sponging with Impressions Abloom

Impressions Abloom by stampinup

Would you like to create soft multi-colored blooms for your handmade cards?? Here is how:

 

How to sponge
Select three colors. These are Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling. Sponge small area of color onto Basic White Card Stock in a random pattern. Cover the entire card stock. I wanted a pastel look so I sponged very lightly. 

 

Sponge then die cut


Die cut lots of flower images. I used the Impressions Abloom Dies #165610, an online exclusive. Next start your card creations!! You will be able to create four or more cards!

 

Impressions Abloom #165605

I love this look of several soft colors! Try darker sponging, too! Whatever look you like because YOU are the creator!

 

#165605 Impressions Abloom

The OVAL die cut layer is included in this bundle, too. I makes the perfect frame!!

Suite Promotion till June 30, 2025!!

That one design you don't like...

Beautiful Gallery 6X6 Designer Series Paper

I love every sheet of the Beautiful Gallery 6X6" Designer Series Paper #165196 .......EXCEPT one. I don't like the sheet pictured on the right. I challenged myself to use it. Here is the result:

 

Beautiful Gallery #165196

I interrupted the design by die cutting it with a die that has thin lines! I LOVE the results!! It's really like a magic trick!

 

Mixed Florals Dies #164641


The die I chose is from the Mixed Florals Dies #164641. It turns the paper into textures instead of a design. You no longer see the design on the paper!

 

Blooming Phrases Stamp Set #165523

Try this magic with designer papers you may not be in love with! You will be amazed!!

Playing with Colors

Coneflower Celebrations by stampinup

One of the many things I love about NEW stamps, is playing with different colors. I finish creating a card and then think, "What would that look like in another color??" These two colors are Pretty in Pink and Daffodil Delight BLENDS on the NEW Coneflower Celebrations Stamp Set of 13 images, #165247.

 

Coneflower Celebrations #165247

Colors: Pretty in Pretty, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, and Melon Mambo BLENDS. I loved this line up so much that I made it the Header for my FaceBook Business Page! What color do you love the most? I know, it's difficult to decide! Color play is FUN!

Quick version of Coneflower Celebrations

 

Coneflower Celebrations #165247

Do you need a quick card with no die cutting or coloring?? This card is so simple. The Coneflower is stamped in Secret Sea ink pad on Cloud Cover card stock. Then a blender pen or wet paint brush drags the ink color down the petals. Since the ink is dye ink and water soluble, it will bleed. Use this property to your advantage by using it as a "coloring technique!" EASY!

 

20250514_135808

This Coneflower Celebrations Stamp Set of 13 images #165247, has sentiments for Birthdays and Belated Birthdays.
