Boardwalk Fun For a Little Fancy Friday Sketch ...

We have a fun sketch this month over on Instagram with the Fancy Friday Design Team!  Want to see the card I made for this sketch?!  Hope so ... because I am sharing it! I used some fun colors and the fabulous Boardwalk Fun Bundle ... 

And here is the official sketch:

It is such a fun sketch that you can take a million different ways.  I used some Blends Markers to color the palm tree die-cuts.  The backgound circles die is from the Lovely Arrangements Dies.  The embossing folder I used is the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder.

Colors of card: Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Pecan Pie, Coastal Cabana. Now here are some detailed shots of the card: 

And one last shot of the whole card:

A Little Gears & Textures & Words of Beauty Fun!

Super love the Gears & Textures Bundle and today I have the stamp set paired with the Words of Beauty Bundle for this fun birthday card! 

Love this watercolored background.  I used Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party ink.  Then when it was fully dried (use Heat Tool to make it fast!), I embossed some of the images from the Gears & Textures Stamp Set with Silver Embossing Powder.  

A little note ... I wanted the "because" word cut out, but in the background.  So I did this "inlaid" technique.  Use Adhesive Sheet to adhere the watercolor paper to a piece of cardstock on the back.  Then ran it through.  It won't fully cut through but if it does cut pieces out, you can easily just put them back with the Adhesive Sheet behind it.  

Here are a few more pics of the details: 

Love the side detail from the Perennial Postage die cut from Silver Foil Sheets.  Just love that silver shine fun!

Consider Yourself Hugged In Paper Form With Banner Sayings ...

Sometimes you really just want to give someone a hug and a paper hug through the mail is your option.  So that was this card's purpose! 

It was a fun one to make.  Blended ink with Blending Brushes for the sunset sky.  Stamped some texture in the sky and on the mountains.  

I love the Light & Wonder Dies.  They are retired so I hope you grabbed them when they were available!  So fun to create a pretty forest scene.  I added some Wink of Stella to the trees for some shimmer like you get during a sunset sometimes.  Here are some detail shots ...

Watercolored Layers of Beauty!

Well ... I found a card that I forgot to post using the Layers of Beauty Bundle from back in January.  Oops ... but guess it's never too late, right?!  So here it is! 

I stamped the main image onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper in VersaMark and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  Then I watercolored it with a variety of colors, cut it apart, and adhered it together in layers over the background.

Here is one more view of the full card:

More Boardwalk Fun For On Stage Artisan Swap!

I was able to participate in a fun swap with some Artisans at Stampin' Up!'s On Stage Event in Long Beach last month.  Had a blast with fabulous people and all sharing the cards we made for each other ... how could that be anything but amazing?!  Today I wanted to share the card I made for it! 

And just a few details: 

I first embossed the palm trees onto Basic White Cardstock with gold embossing powder.  Then I made a mask with Vellum Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies.  Used that mask to blend some Daffodil Delight & Peach Pie ink to make that gorgeous sun background.

Add some splatter and a few more little layers & voila!  A fun and cheery card for some fun and cheery friends!  😍🌞

And one last shot of the card:

A Fun Birthday With Some Boardwalk Palms!

Quickly sharing a fun take on the Boardwalk Fun Bundle!  This is a fun & bright suite of products, which I LOVE, but I thought I would give it a go with a more neutral color palette.  

And what do you know?!  I still love it!  Hee.  A fun things I did was die-cut some of the palm trees from Masking Paper.  I then applied them to the card front layer and added ink with a Blending Brush over them to blend the Pecan Pie ink.  Then added some splatter with the same color.

Also ... just saying ... I LOVE this ferris wheel vellum die-cut from the Boardwalk Fun dies behind the greeting.  😂  How cute is it?! 

What do you think?  What's your fave detail?  Here is another shot of the full card: 

I hope you enjoy this one!  Please let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks for visiting!
