Well Written Framelits Dies

20190427_100744

It's a TROPICAL Birthday Card created w/ the Well Written Framelits #148534! I LOVE the size of these dies because they fit so well on a card front!

20190427_100805

I used the Adhesive Sheets on the Granny Apple Green Card Stock before die cutting. That creates words that are actually STICKERS!! No adhesive shows so it's a nice, clean look!! The Gorgeous Grape Flowers are made w/ the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack of 4 punches #148532.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Design

20190421_103447

I made up the lovely April 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit, and I'm still designing with the gorgeous Sentimental Rose Stamp Set in this kit!! The BEST value of this subscription kit is the great stamp sets you receive and KEEP USING!

20190421_103523

This is a Panel Fold card for a very special occasion!

20190421_103612

Panel Card: cut the card base 8-1/2" X 5-1/2" and score at 2" and 3-1/8" from each side. SIMPLE and stands well for display! This fold fits a Stampin' Up! medium envelope which I covered with Silver Foil Paper embossed with Petal Pair Embossing Folder #145656.

20190421_103547

The roses were inked with Calypso Coral, Powder Pink, So Saffron and Highland Heather. The background on the side panels is Timeless Textures Stamp Set #140517 stamped in Gray Granite ink.

Paper Pumpkin Alternative Design

20190421_103707

I was very impressed with the April 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Sentimental Rose! One of the BEST bonuses about the monthly kit subscription, is the great images and sentiments you can add to your stash after you make the kit. This month's kit has TEN stamps! All stamps used here are from the kit.

20190421_103726

I stamped the rose image on Whisper White card stock using Gorgeous Grape ink. Then I very light sponged on Balmy Blue Ink.

Keep using all those great Paper Pumpkin stamps long after you complete the kit!! My next post will be another alternative card - and it's a WOW! Learn more about Paper Pumpkin subscriptions and see previous kits HERE.  Try it!!

Beautiful Day Stamp Set

20190410_091532 (2)

Beautiful Day Stamp Set #145915 is my favorite stamp set for using Stampin' BLENDS alcohol marker. I love it's simple boldness. 

20190410_091620 (2)

I do not claim to be an artist, but using BLENDS gives me satisfaction! I color each flower petal individually. My method is color the entire petal with the light shade. Second, add the shading with the darker marker. Last, go over the edge where the light and dark meet with the light shade to soften. I used the Highland Heather Combo Pack of Blends Markers #147276.

20190410_091607 (2)

This is a nice "all-purpose" card to have on hand for many occasions! TRY IT!
