So much texture in this card!! The Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder #151503 was inked on the inside under the LOGO before adding Crumb Cake card stock. This method REALLY POPS the design!
The pineapple top was sponged with Garden Green ink on Garden Green card stock. The Pineapple is Crushed Curry color.
The Timeless Tropical Bundle #153811 is fun and summery! This is a great friendship or Birthday card!
Botanical Prints Product Medley by Stampin' Up!
04/08/2020
I have a guest stamper today, friend and Team member, Shari Wicks. She created this snappy card from the Botanical Prints Product Medley #151301. WHAT is a product medley??
A "product medley" is a grouping of products that coordinate, for the avid crafter to create their own designs. LOTS of parts that work great together!!
The black and white designer paper really POPS this design!
Shari did a great job of creating a VERY appealing card!

Dressed to Impress Bundle by Stampin' Up!
03/09/2020
What is "PAPER PIECING?" It's similar to quilting with paper. Designer papers are cut and put together to create a design. These polka dot high heels are a perfect example!! Each shoe was stamp on polka dot paper and again on yellow paper from the Best Dress 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper #151319. Then they were die cut and fussy cut to create the two colors on a single shoe to look like fun contrasting shoe lining!!
This is the ultimate GIRLY bundle, Dressed to Impress Bundle #153832!!
So many cute feminine options in this bundle!! Try it!!

Beautiful Moments by Stampin' Up!
02/28/2020
I needed a peaceful card and this Beautiful Moments Stamp Set #151677 was the perfect solution!
This image is so thoughtful and calm. It looks breezy so I chose the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder #151474 for the layer because of the swirls. The designer paper is Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper #149100 with soft flowers.
The base card is Petal Pink. Black would be too harsh so I chose Crumb Cake Ink Pad.
I'm sending this special card to someone who has had a big loss. Remember your friends in their times of grief. It means sooo much.

Overalls Pattern from All Dressed Up Dies
01/27/2020
How cute are these overalls created with the All Dressed Up Dies #151665 that made the "purses" in my last post?!?!?!? I cased this adorable idea from Australian Demonstrator Michele Jutrisa. Michele has a 26 minute video you can view. I just had to make the coveralls with the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper #151189!
Cut off the bottom and side panel of the die cut purse, then cut a "V" to create two legs using the simple measurements above.
Here is the backside so you can see how I crossed the two die cut straps.
ALL dies used are in the All Dressed Up Dies #151665. What a cute baby card, baby Valentine, toddler birthday or farmer card!! Just change the color!
TWO SUPER FUN CREATIONS from one set of dies!! SOOOO many possibilities!! TRY IT!!

Pressed Petal Specialty Washi Tape
01/20/2020
Here is a clever idea using Pressed Petal Specialty Washi Tape #149585! I was inspired by Demonstrator, Su Mohr.
Lightly mark the shape of the plain heart punch from Heart Punch Pack of 2 layering hearts #151292. Starting from the TOP of the heart shape, fill in the image by overlapping the self-adhesive Washi Petals. Punch out the completed shape and layer onto a scalloped heart punched from Rose Glimmer Paper #146960.
These tiny tumbling hearts are punched with the Dog Builder Punch #148543.
I love the simplicity and shimmer of this sweet card!! Use it for Valentine, Birthday, Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary or Baby!

TIPS for an exquisite sunrise or sunset on hand stamped cards:
*Use Shimmery White Card Stock #101910 and Sponge Daubers #133773
*Add saturated color to the card stock by collecting water based ink from an ink pad and SCRUBBING the ink all the way across the card with a dauber.
*For blended colors for the sky, OVERLAP the colors.
*Stamp silhouetted images on the finished base with BLACK ink
*Color in any open areas that should be silhouetted using a water based BLACK marker
*Layer onto a BLACK card base to pop colors
*PRACTICE & EXPERIMENT
Use plenty of ink, loading your dauber multiple times!
Any highlights, like on this gazebo roof, can be filled in with a black marker to create a true silhouette.
The NEW My Meadow Stamp Set #151650 is perfect for this technique!
These sentiments are from the NEW Peaceful Moments Stamp Set #151595.

Compare these cards to my previous post using the same My Meadow Stamp Set #151650. This is a TOTALLY different look and feel. SPRING is coming.....eventually! Be ready!
Same stamp set previously posted.
TIPS: lay a Post-It note across the top edge of the wheelbarrow for a mask. Then stamp the images you want inside the wheelbarrow. It is easy! Use the Stamparatus positioning tool #146276 to get a perfectly aligned wheelbarrow every time! It's FAST for making multiples of the same design!!
This is such a fun stamp set to create outdoor scenes!!
