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

A little Stampin' Up! In Color Fun With Fancy Friday!

Woot!  Time to share the card I made for AUGUST'S Fancy Friday Challenge!  Can you believe it is SEPTEMBER already?!  Gah!  I know I can't!  Time if FLYING too fast!  But this month is all about the In Colors!  I LOVE this color line from Stampin' Up!  I picked a few to use for this card ... two that are new this year and one that is from last years collection. 

We've got Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, and Summer Splash!  LOVE these colors together ... if I do say so myself.  Hee.  I also love that little pop of Lemon Lolly to make "smile" stand out. 

A few more details ... TWO TONE Cardstock is SO MUCH FUN!  Here, I stamped it, embossed it, and then sanded it a bit.  LOVE the fun texture it adds!  Without any extra bulk! 

This bundle is a fun one to play with also.  It is the Spotlight on Nature Bundle.  Sadly ... the stamp set has been discontinued.  But the dies are still around!  And the greeting stamp set I used, Patterns of Friendship, is on the Last Chance list.  So if you don't have it - GRAB IT!  It is a fabulous one!  I use it ALLLLL the time!  

Thank you so much for visiting!  I hope you enjoy!  Make sure you check out @stampinfancyfriday on IG to see all the fun cards posted this month by our Design Team!  💗

Sunrise Sailing Online Exclusive With Fancy Friday Design Team!

July was all about the Online Exclusives for us on the Fancy Friday Design Team!  Hope you followed along on Instagram! 💕 So much gorgeous inspiration!  Today I am sharing what I made ... I chose the ☆FABULOUS☆ Sunrise Sailing Bundle for this challenge! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Strawberry Splash, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, Gray Granite, Basic White

Inks: Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Strawberry Splash, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, VersaMark, White Craft 

Cardstock/Papers: Pool Party, Gray Granite, Basic White, Subtles Designer Series Paper Pack (RETIRED), Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Adhesive Sheets

Stamps: Sunrise Sailing, My Small Business

Tools:  Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder (this includes the dies), Perennial Postage Dies, Water Painters, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack,  Iridescent Faceted Gems

This is a pretty fun challenge cause I love the Online Exclusive section of the Stampin' Up! website.  Hee.  The challenge part of it is knowing what to pick!  Haha.  

I had a lot of fun making this card.  This bundle is so much fun to work with because you have a stamp set, dies, AND a Hybrid Embossing Folder.  (The hybrid folders coordinate with the dies, so you can have your stamped images both die-cut AND embossed!)  I love love love the sailboat here! 

How pretty, right?!  Hee.  I did some watercoloring for the sailboat.  I was going for "sunset sail" when making it.  So ...

I first stamped and embossed the sailboat with white embossing powder.  Then I did some watercoloring with Peach Pie, Strawberry Slush, & Lemon Lolly for the sails.  I colored the boat with Pecan Pie.  Once it was dry, I embossed it with the hybrid folder!  I did some splatter with the White Craft Ink & then even embossed with white embossing powder over that.  I used some DSP from my stash in Pool Party for the card front & I love the detail and texture that adds.  

I am obsessed with this bird die that is in the die set as well.  HOW CUTE ARE THEY?!  😊  But I would insist that before you die-cut them, you add Adhesive Sheet behind the cardstock you are cutting from.  This makes them easy to apply stickers.  Using other adhesive for something this thin would be obvoxious.  Doing it this way was a breeze.  Maybe even an "ocean breeze."  Hee.  See what I did there?!  😉

All in all ... totally love this card & how happy it makes me when I look at it.  I have the full card posted below for one more look.  But I hope you enjoy this card and it brings a little sunshine to your day!  

Thank you so much for visiting!  Just make sure you head to the Stampin' Fancy Friday Instagram page to see what all the other designers have been sharing all month with Stampin' Up!'s Online Exclusives!  You will fall in love, I'm sure! 

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with your papercrafting.  Would be happy to help you get your hands on any Stampin' Up! supplies you have your eye on!  😍

Pretty Florals For Floral Delight With Stampin' Fancy Friday!

Florals are fabulous, aren't they?!  So make sure you are checking out this month's Stampin' Fancy Friday challenge! It is all about Floral Delight!!! 💖  And all of us on the Design Team are very excited about it!  There is loads of gorgeous inspiration to be found on the Stampin' Fancy Friday IG page! (@stampinfancyfriday)

I used the Pretty Florals Bundle & the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! (@stampinupofficial) to create this dainty floral thank you card.  I will also give a shout out to that fun Perennial Postage die-cut gold edge! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Gold

Inks: Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Crumb Cake, Basic White, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, Adhesive Sheets, Gold Foil Sheets

Stamps: Pretty Florals

Tools:  Pretty Florals Dies, Perennial Postage Dies, Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder, Water Painter, Heat Tool

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Holographic Resin Dots, Basics Wow! Embossing Powder

Now on to some details!  I used one of the patterns from the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper pack as the background to the card.  I liked the subtle Fresh Freesia pattern to add just a little flair but still make those darling florals pop.  ***Fun tip:  add Adhesive Sheet to the back of cardstock when you will be cutting out detailed images.  (Like the leaves here.)  This creates a fun little sticker that is easy to apply to your project! 💖

I used a Blending Brush & a Water Painter to add a soft bit of Coastal Cabana ink with splatter before I embossed the card front panel with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. I like the added texture it gives and how it "ground" the darling florals.  

What is your fave detail on this card?!  Here is one more veiw of the full card:

Bold & Bright With Memorable Blooms Bundle! Stampin' Fancy Friday January!

I love a fun Bold & Bright Challenge in the middle of winter here in the United States!  You don't have to ask me twice to play along!  Hee.  Have you seen all the fun projects that have been posted on the Stampin' Fancy Friday Instagram page by the design team?!  I hope so because they are PHENOMENAL!  And today I get to share what I made!  Surprise ... I had to use Lemon Lolly again! 😀

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Black

Inks: Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Memento Black, VersaMark, BLENDS: Flirty Flamingo, Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist

Cardstock/Papers: Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Black, Basic White, Toadstool Gardens 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Memorable Blooms

Tools:  Memorable Blooms Dies, Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, Blending Brush, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins

I also used the Memorable Blooms Bundle from the Stampin' Up! Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalog ... because it is FABULOUS! 😍  I also used TWO ☆FREE☆ Sale-A-Bration items!   Yay!  The Designer Series Paper - Toadstool Gardens - and the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins are the free items I used!  SO MUCH FUN!  I love this time of year! 

Want to see some details?!  Well ... here you go! 

I stamped the greeting repeatedly down the cardfront before embossing it.  Then I also used a Blending Brush to add some Lemon Lolly ink over the stamped words to make it all pop a bit more.  Once again - did this before embossing it.  Then I embossed it, tore the edges, & added a little "peek-a-boo" of the Designer Series Paper.  

The rest was just stamping, embossing, coloring with Blends, die-cutting,  & then layering together! 

I loved making this card and need some more "Bold & Bright" cards in my future to get through this winter!  Hee.  Make sure you check out all the other cards posted over on Instagram on the Stampin' Fancy Friday page!

Fancy Friday Stamping With Earthy Tones!

It is all about EARTHY TONES for our Fancy Friday Stamping Challenge this month!  And what GORGEOUS creations these earthy tones can make! I hope you have been following along to see all the beauty the Stampin' Fancy Friday Design Team has created for you this month.  And today is my turn to share what I made made! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Assorted colors from Watercolor Pencils

Inks: White Craft

Cardstock/Papers: Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Pecan Pie, Basic White

Stamps: Country Flowers, Heartfelt Hexagon

Tools:  Heartfelt Hexagon Punch, Heat Tool, Water Painter (for splatter)

Accessories: Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1, Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2, Iridescent Foil Gems, Linen Thread, White Embossing Powder (Basics WOW! Embossing Powder)

I have to admit ... I am completely in love with how this card turned out.  Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, with the greeting in Pecan Pie were the earthy tones I used.  Then I added just subtle pops of color with the Watercolor Pencils to color the flowers.  

Here are some photos to show you all the details! 

The Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set & coordinating punch is a dream.  I love it so much cause I love a good sentiment with a fun bordered outline.  And the sentiment from the Country Flowers Stamp Set fit perfectly in the border from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set! 😍

Another thing I love, but often forget to do, is use White Craft Ink to stamp on Crumb Cake.  I just love this look.  And adding subtle color is so pretty to me.  The Country Flowers Stamp Set was perfect for this card.  

I hope you enjoy this card!  I hate the reasons we need sympathy cards, but sadly ... sometimes we just do.  I thought a pretty subtle & earthy tones color theme was a good choice for one of these cards.  💕

Thank you so much for visiting!  I hope you keep following along all month to see what else is in store from the Stampin' Fancy Friday Design Team!  And start following along if you haven't yet!  Hee.  (Facebook: Stampin' Fancy Friday or Instagram: @stampinfancyfriday)

Here are some photos of the details:

⭐  Trim Iridescent 1/2" Striped Trim Ribbon and tie into a bow around card front.

⭐   Add Designer Series Paper to card base.  

⭐  Layer Gold Foil Sheet & Gold Mercury Vellum on card base.

⭐  Add card front to layered gold pieces.

⭐  Emboss, punch, adhere greeting.

Stampin' Fancy Friday Fancy Color Combos!

This month on the Stampin' Fancy Friday Design Team ... we are coming at you with Fancy Color Combos!  And it has been a FUN challenge with so much variety!  I hope you have been following along, and if you haven't ... you can always start now!  Just head on over to @stampinfancyfriday on Instagram!  

Today is the day I get to share my card with you!  I am excited because I LOVE this color combo.  It is so summery and bright and fun to me ... which are all things I feel are appropriate to use year round!  Hee.  

Colors:  Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Gray Granite

Inks: Coastal Cabana, Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Basic Black, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Lily Pod Lane Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Adventurous Sky

Tools:  Adventurous Sky Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics Embossing Powder, Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems

And yes!  This is a similar color combo to the card I posted yesterday.  What can I say ... I can't stop using it - or variations of it.  I just love it! 😀 

Also ... I LOVE this bundle from Stampin' Up!  It is called Adventurous Sky.  It worked really well with this color combo, in my opinion.  

I first want to share how I did the center of the card detail, and then I will show you some more up close photos of the card.  

This is really SO EASY & quick to do!  You just die-cut whatever shape you want from a piece of cardstock.  ***TIP: I cut mine to a bit larger than the piece of cardstock I am adding the detail to ... just to avoid ink getting where I don't want it.  Add color with a Blending Brush in ink of your choice, stamp over where you just added ink, and splatter if you want.  Remove the mask you made and you are left with a fun detail to add to! 

And here are some more pics of the card.  I watercolored the planes, die-cut them, and added them around the circle sky.  

One last pic of the full card ... 

What do you think?  I would love to see anything you make with this color combo! 

And let me know if I can help you! Would love to help you with your papercrafting needs!  If you need to get this bundle, or any other Stampin' Up! supplies (and you live in the United States) ... would love to help with that too!  Don't hesitate to reach out!

Fancy Friday CASE Time!

These challenges are SO MUCH fun!!! May was such a fun month with Fancy Friday!  I hope you followed along!  All of us on the design team were CASE'ing others on the design team!  So as you can imagine ... SO MUCH gorgeous creative inspiration! 

Truly ... the hardest part of this challenge is deciding who to CASE!  This month, I picked a card from Verena @simple_stamper to case.  I love her clean, cheerful, & gorgeous style. Her projects ALWAYS make my jaw drop!  I will first share the card I made, and then I will share the card of hers that I CASE'd!  I used her card layout as inspiration, then added some of Stampin' Up!'s NEW In Colors & my fave Sea Turtles Stamp Set!

Colors:  Gray Granite, Summer Splash, Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Basic White

Inks: Summer Splash, Pretty In Pink, Peach Pie, Versamark

Cardstock/Papers: Basic White, Gray Granite, Gold Foil, Lily Pond Lane 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Sea Turtle, Submarine Life (greeting)

Tools:  Dashing Designs Embossing Folder, Seaside Wishes Dies, Wildflower Designs Dies

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Basics Embossing Powder, Iridescent Foil Gems

It all ties together so nicely, huh?!  This card definitely makes me smile!  Now ... ready to see Verena's card?! 

See why it was so easy to CASE?!  I love it and can think of a million different ways I could CASE this.  But here are a few more shots of the turtle card I did for this time. 

🐢 The scallop border is from the Wildflower Designs Dies.  I just cut out the frame, and then cut a piece off to use the scallops behind the embossed piece.

🐢 I used Summer Splash to stamp the turtles.  But for the lighter shade - I simply stamped off onto scratch paper first before stamping the turtle images.  This gives a gorgeous variation of the color! 

🐢 Layering some die-cuts, stamped images in different colors, and the turtles & greeting are a fun way to bring interest to the focal point of any card.  I loved how Verena did that in her card and what drew me to CASE'ing it! 💕

I hope you enjoy this card!  Any questions?!  Shoot me an email!  Need to order some Stampin' Up! supplies and live in the United States?!  Well shoot me an email!  I am happy to help with all your papercrafting needs!
