Clean Floral Rainbow With Bright Skies Stamp Set & Dies!

Keeping it clean and simple today with this fun & bright card.  I used the Bright Skies Stamp Set & Dies from Stampin' Up! along with the Unbounded Love Dies for the scalloped rectangle.  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Melon Mambo, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape, Basic White

Inks: Melon Mambo, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape, Memento Black

Cardstock/Papers: Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Thick Basic White, Adhesive Sheets

Stamps: Bright Skies, Simply Said

Tools:  Bright Skies Dies, Unbounded Love Dies

Accessories: NONE!

I was tempted to do a few more things to this card, but ultimately ... I just kept it clean.  You could easily simplify this more and do less flowers or anything!  But I love the rainbow of flowers.  😍  A great card to cheer someone up a bit - in my opinion.  

The die I used it awesome because it cuts out the 2 seperate pieces with one die - because it is a scallop frame die with the middle.  Here is a photo of the die set with the die I used circled ...

But again ... it is one die and it just cuts both of those pieces out.  💖  So I wanted to play with this a little bit and add some simple dimension.  I added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Basic White cardstock before die-cutting.  Then I just adhered the frame down to the card front.  But the middle I popped up on dimensionals.  That gives a fun detail with basically zero extra effort.  Then I just added the flowers in rainbow color order! 

Stamp your greeting and VOILA!  No embellishment (kinda killed me, but I actually  ended up really liking it) and just a clean white card with fun pops of color!

I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if I can help with anything! I would love to help you with your papercrafting needs - as well as help you get the Stampin' Up! supplies you need! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

A Little Under the Moon with Dophins!

Just wanted to share a quick card today using Stampin' Up!'s Under the Moon Stamp Set!  This set is so perfect for a quick stamped card ... that is still gorgeous and full of depth! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Petal Pink, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray, Basic White

Inks: Petal Pink, Peach Pie, Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray

Cardstock/Papers: Lemon Lolly, Basic White, Thick Basic White

Stamps: Under the Moon

Tools:  Countryside Corners Dies, Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, Water Painter (for splatter), Heat Tool

Accessories: Iridescent Faceted Gems, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder

I first cut out a Countryside Corners piece then did my stamping right on that.  A few tips: 

🐬  Ink up the moon in Petal Pink.  Then use a sponge dauber to "pounce" some ink onto the clouds.  Then stamp onto the cardstock! 

🐬 Stamp ocean image twice.  First time stamp right under the moon.  Then turn the stamp upside down and stamp it right under the first ocean stamp. 

🐬  I used clear embossing powder on the dolphins to give them a little "jumping out of the ocean" glow.  Hee.  Can't tell in photos but is a fun subtle touch when you see it in person. 

But just a few layers and and one embellishment and you have a fun card to give anyone you need to say thank you to!

Thank you for visiting!  I hope you enjoy this card!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you get your hands on this cute stamp set from Stampin' Up! or anything else you need!

Thank You ... Under The Moon!

When I looked through the ☆ NEW ☆ Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog for the first time ... a few things jumped out at me immediately.  One was the FABULOUS Under the Moon Stamp Set.  I love to appreciate the sky ... in all its forms!  Space, sunsets, the sun, the night sky full of stars, and of course - the gorgeous moon!  And I just love the style of this stamp set ... the moon images are gorgeous, the ocean is included, and it even has DOLPHINS in it!  😍  I am going to have a lot of fun with this stamp set, and here is the first card that I made with it! 

Colors:  Gray Granite, Summer Splash, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Basic Black

Inks: Summer Splash, Gray Granite, Lemon Lime Twist, Memento Jet Black, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Basic Black, Gold Foil, Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Under the Moon, Simply Said

Tools:  Perennial Postage Dies, Blending Brush, Heat Tool, Water Painter

Accessories: Iridescent Foil Gems, Basics Embossing Powder

It is a super simple card, just some basic stamping.  Yes ... even the ocean is just one stamp.  Inked once, stamped once. 

So basically ... stamp the ocean, stamp the night sky image, stamp the dolphins, add some splatter, and VOILA!  🤩

A few tips: 

🐬  The Perennial Postage Dies were used to make the edge in gold foil. 

🐬  Splatter was added by squishing the Memento Ink Pad into the lid (before taking the lid off) to get a pool of ink in the lid.  Then dip a Water Painter into the pool of ink, and flick in the lid of Water Painter. 

🐬  The card front paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6x6 paper pack.  I just blended some Lemon Lime Twist ink using a Blending Brush onto the paper first.  

Amazed at the difference just blending a little ink onto the paper makes! 

Hope you enjoy this card!  What jumped out at you from the new catalog?!  Love to hear what people like!

Quick Submarine Hello ...

 A few cute friends wanted to say HELLO!  

Colors:  Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, Tahitian Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White

Inks: Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, Tahitian Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Memento Jet Black

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Lemon Lolly

Stamps: Submarine Life

Tools:  Perennial Postage Dies, Sponge Dauber

Accessories: Tahitian Tide 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon

And I wanted to share a quick way to use the Submarine Life Stamp Set.  This is in Stampin' Up!'s current Mini Catalog and I LOVE this bundle!  These ocean creatures, WITH SNORKEL MASKS, are the cutest things in the world!  I love them!  Obsessed a bit, really.  Haha.   Just look at them!  😍

This card was so quick & easy to put together, and just uses a few supplies!

    🐠  Use a sponge dauber to create the circles in the background.  Just ink it up,                 place it where you want a dot on the Basic White Cardstock, and twist the                     dauber to get a good solid dot.  Repeat on the cardstock for a fabulous polka dot          background!

    🐠  Stamp your ocean friends on a piece of Basic White cardstock cut to fit the                     Perennial Postage Die cut.  I started by stamping the octopus first right in the             middle, to get the spacing right. 

    🐠  Put it together!  Wrap the Tahitian Tide 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon around the             polka dot background twice, then tie with the bow on the right side.  Adhere it             to the card front.  Layer the ocean friends piece to the postage die cut, using                 dimesionals.  Then adhere to the card front! 

That is all there is to it!  Easy peasy, but would make anyone day brighter & better! 

Please let me know if you have any questions!  Would love to help you with all your papercrafting needs!  Thank you so much for visiting this little space!  I also would love to help you get any Stampin' Up! supplies you may need!  So please reach out if I can help!

Celebrate With Tags & White Christmas TGIF Challenge #451!

It is White Christmas inspiration challenge with TGIF Challenges this week!  Now ... let it be known ... I don't really like snow.  Sure, I love nature so I can find things I like about it.  But generally speaking ... give me the sun & warmth.  😃  So my favorite "White Christmas" is a white sand Christmas.  Haha.   I was going to go that direction for this challenge, but then I ultimately decided to just lean into the true "White Christmas" meaning.  AND ... since it is SO CLOSE to Christmas - I went quick & simple for this card!  (All supplies are from Stampin' Up!)

Colors:  Bubble Bath, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White

Inks: Bubble Bath, Coastal Cabana

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White

Stamps: Celebrate With Tags

Tools:  Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder

Accessories: Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack

There are just a couple of images, a greeting, and a few little things to make it pop.  I only used one stamp set & one color of cardstock also!  And two ink pads!  Then one easy "technique" is using the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder to make a DEBOSSED look.  No extra work - just emboss that cardstock and flip it around! 😂 And VOILA!  A debossed snowflake sky!  Hee.  (Can't really call that a technique, I guess.  Haha.) I really like how it looks though.

And I do love these cute little pink mittens.  😍

I hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you so much for visiting!  No matter what you do or don't celebrate this time of year, I hope you have a magical season as this year winds down.  And now you just need to head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to play along with us this week!  I can't wait to see what you are inspired to make! 💕

From A Break to a Watercolor World!

 WOWSERS!  Due to LOTS of life stuff, I took an unintended break from this creative world.  If anyone is still here and reads this space on the internet anymore ... I'm sorry!  But I am back now and it feels SO GOOD to create with paper again!  💗  So let's get back into it, shall we?!  

When I first saw the stamp I am using for this card I am posting today, I got SO EXCITED!  

I ♡ LOVE ♡ to travel.  "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list" is kinda my mantra.  Haha.  This world is just so wide & beautiful & amazing ... and I want to see everything!  😀  So when I had some of the members on my team over to practice some different watercolor techniques...I grabbed this stamp and knew I had to use it somehow.  What stamp is it, you ask?!  Well...you probably have guessed if you have seen Stampin' Up!'s BRAND NEW Annual Catalog (or it was also in the last Mini Catalog) ... but if not...it is the Watercolor World Stamp Set! 

Colors:  Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Basic White, Black, Crumb Cake

Inks:  Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Shimmery White, Basic Black

Stamps: Watercolor World, Happy Labels

Tools:  Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics Embossing Powders, Linen Thread

Gorgeous, isn't it?!  😍. It is a major swoon stamp set and since you can never go wrong with a rainbow...this card is a double swoon for me! The stamp is a big background stamp, and I love how it just covers the whole card front.  Added some splatter, a greeting, a few embellishments...and VOILA!  The card is done!  

I should have taken pictures or a video of how I made this card, but I didn't.  I am sorry!  If that would be helpful, let me know and I can do that!  First though, let me kinda explain it.  

• Lay the stamp with the rubber side up on your workspace.  
• Use Stampin' Write Markers to color on the stamp, inking it up.  *Any colors you desire will work.  I used colors in rainbow order for this card.  If you are particular about the order of colors, work opposite of how you want the color order stamped, since you will be stamping the mirror image of what you are inking up.  For example...when this stamp is laying rubber side up, America is on the right side of the stamp. But when you stamp it...it will end up on the left.  So from left to right when I was coloring the stamp, I colored the stamp in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and pink.
• For a watercolor look, spritz the stamp with water before stamping.  This will help the colors blend together.
• Turn the stamp over quickly, and stamp onto your cardstock or watercolor paper.  💖

Then just add whatever details you want and VOILA!  Gorgeous card!  Here is the stamp image...
