There is lots of color in a sunset! Use Stampin' Write Markers like: Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Terracotta Tile and Mango Melody to create your own sunset. Scribble horizontally across Shimmery White Card Stock starting off the edge and ending off the edge.
Stamp the silhouette image from the Friend Like You Stamp Set #149237 on top of the sunset colors using Tuxedo Black Momento Pad.
Use any of the sunset colors to create your base card. I used Mango Melody for cheeriness!! TRY IT!
Today's card is for a man or nature lover! The NEW Friend Like You Bundle #151084 has outdoorsy images and dies. I paired it with the NEW Heirloom Frames Dies #152325 and Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder #152320.

I really like this card for a Man's Birthday. Try it!
I found this clever embossing trick by Diana Langman. I have never seen this before.
2. Emboss the same card stock with Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder #151823 by inserting one corner into the machine. STOP just before the outside edges of the embossing folder hit the machine. Back the embossing folder out of the machine. Be careful not to damage the embossing folder by continuing to emboss too far.
This is the absolutely gorgeous Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper #149100. It's very Monet-like and impressionistic!

I LOVE this card!! Free as a Bird Stamp Set #149468 is an OPEN IMAGE design. Simply take a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker #100082 and color the images black to create a silhouette! It's SOOO easy and totally changes the appearance! The background is Shimmery White card stock #101910 which has a nice finish for creating sunsets! Using markers, scribble sunset colors onto Shimmery card stock by starting off one side and ending off the other. Don't worry about being perfect, because the image goes on top. Next, stamp your image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Fill in all open designs with the black marker. Sunset marker colors: Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape. You get LOTS OF IMPACT!! TRY IT!
I used two sunset colors for the card base: Flirty Flamingo and Mango Melody to POP the black!
Carry the same colors inside for the sentiment! TRY IT, you will love it, too!!
SPECIAL OFFER: When you purchase Free as a Bird Bundle #151123 p.91 OR Bird Ballad Suite #152190 p. 91 from me, get an ADORABLE Bird House pattern! See header
We all need quick cards! Let designer paper be your focal point. Cut a design paper 6" by 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". Attach it diagonally to your card front. Look closely. I added two score lines about 1/8" apart and parallel to the sides of the strip. This adds a bit of interest and texture.
This lovely paper is Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper #149592. Be sure to cover your envelope flap for increased impact!
See the score lines? Try this!
Try the WHITEWASH Technique with this lovely new Good Morning Magnolia Bundle #151087!
Heat emboss the flower image onto Crumb Cake card stock. I used Gold Embossing Powder.
Tap your open White Craft Ink Pad #147277 onto a clean acrylic block or other nonporous surface. Using an Aqua Painter #103954 filled with plain water, collect the ink and paint onto the flower petals. This gives a lovely milky look. SOFT!
This WHITEWASHED image really pops on a Basic Black card stock base! TRY IT!
I enjoy watching birds from my Stamp Office window! These little bird images are sweet and realistic! This is the brand NEW Free as a Bird stamp Set #149468.
I used Stampin' Up! Blends Alcohol Markers as my color source. The background is a very light wash of Light Pool Party Blends to suggest sky.

Springtime = Flowers! Beautiful Bouquet #143666 and Bouquet Bunch Dies #143659 will create an infinite number of lovely flower arrangements for your cards! It's FUN to die cut a bunch of flowers and leaves, and then start arranging as though they were real!!
I like Night of Navy background to POP the Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape colors!!
This is a "special" card for a Team Member. I hope it brings a BIG smile!
The LOVE YOU TO PIECES BUNDLE #148396 equals "uniqueness!" It's a great Valentines stamp set, but also perfect for sharing love year around! I used the Big Shot Embossing Mat #146327 to emboss the striped background with texture!
Love these happy colors of Blueberry Bushel and Mango Melody!!
The sentiments are cleverly "puzzle related!"
$AVE 10% now by purchasing this BUNDLE of stamps and dies!! These items are in the next catalog, BUT NOT BUNDLE with the 10% savings.
Bloom by Bloom stamp set #148820 is VERSATILE! Try creating your own background. Select 3-4 colors you like together. Start with the largest image using one of the colors. Stamp it spaced fairly evenly on your layer. Second, use the next to largest image and another color. Finish with the smallest image to "fill in between" the previous shapes. Secret: if there is an area that you are NOT satisfied with...cover it with the sentiment!
Since the background is busy, I used a solid color to frame the sentiment. It helps the eye "rest on the word."
It's fun to experiment with different color combos! TRY IT!
Perennial Birthday Stamp Set #145760 has sweet images and a nice variety of sentiments! Here is a quick, simple card.
Colors are Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green, a snappy, cheerful combo! I used the "markers on rubber" technique for the floral grouping. A splatter of Grape helps fill the white space.
The Gingham Gala 6X6" Designer Series Paper #148554 adds a fresh, crisp SPRING/SUMMER feel! Try it!

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!
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.
Brighten a Birthday with a handmade card creation!
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!
This is a Panel Fold card for a very special occasion!
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.
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.

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.
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!!

So many Birthdays to celebrate! I always have birthday cards on hand, ready to go! It feels so good to be remembered with a handmade card on your birthday.
These Gingham Gala 6X6" Designer Series Paper #148554 strips are cut a fat 1" X 4".
For this color combo, I cut the strips 3/4" X 4".
The stamp set is Birthday Wishes for You #145742. The little "HAPPY" banners were colored with BLENDS alcohol markers.
Beautiful Day Stamp Set #145915 is my favorite stamp set for using Stampin' BLENDS alcohol marker. I love it's simple boldness.
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.
This is a nice "all-purpose" card to have on hand for many occasions! TRY IT!
MORE DSP Layout today! This is the Pool Party paper from the Soft Subtles 6X6" Designer Series Paper Pack #146966 paired with the Well Written Framelits Dies #148534. The base card is Night of Navy color.
