Copper Love and Petals...

I have posted two other projects using the same flowers I have used on the project I am sharing today.  Look how much leverage I have gotten out of that one stamping day!  😁  Hee.  If you have followed me for awhile, I hope you have picked up on the fact that I love making cute gift packaging.  And these new Copper Dotted Treat Bags are going to be decorated a lot in my craft room.  😂  They. Are. Gorgeous!  So those bags, paired with my previously stamped flowers, paired with the NEW Tags & More Accessory Kit....well yes, please!!!

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green

Inks: Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Black

Cardstock/Papers: Shimmery White, Granny Apple Green, Vellum

Stamps: Stitched All Around, Parcels & Petals

Tools: Sprig Punch

Accessories: Tags & More Accessory Kit, Basic Adhesive-Baked Sequins, Copper Dotted Treat Bags

But I don't want to sway your opinion...what do you think?!

I love these colors together...Flirty Flamingo & Mango Melody.  They are so cute and fresh feeling!!! Then bring in my Melon Mambo, and I just love it!!!

In the Tags kit...you get the best twine (and Copper Library Clips!!!!).  You receive three different spools of twine in the kit.  And to get the twine I used here, I just pulled the Granny Apple Green twine apart to get just the green threads (it has white and green together).  I love this look!  And then paired with those tag pieces....seriously just love it! 

What do you think?  I hope you enjoyed it!  Thanks so much for visiting!  I would love to hear what you think!

Greece Cruising Journal...

I still can't believe I am on a Greece cruise, that I earned from Stampin' Up!  My heart wants to explode.  (If you are not already, follow me on Instagram or Facebook (OR BOTH!) at Design With Ink because that is where I will be posting any updates from the cruise!) 

But THIS project was fun to make.  I wanted a little place to keep notes of things I wanted to remember, put pictures, etc, so I used the NEW Pressed Petals Journal and made this fun thing:

Colors: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Seaside Spray

Inks: NONE!

Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White Thick, Shimmery White, Vellum, Gold Glimmer, Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper

Stamps: NONE!

Tools: Stitched Labels Dies, Layering Circles Dies, Leaf Punch

Accessories: Pressed Petals Journal, Seaside Spray 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon, Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon, Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie

This was the logo Stampin' Up! used for the trip, and I just loved it. This little book just literally makes my heart smile.  💗  Love these little details:

And YES!  These journals come with that fun embossed cover!  Swoon!  😍😍😍

I made a couple extras for some friends.  😁  And it may be even cuter all wrapped up.  I also added a package of Stampin' Up!'s journaling pens...

I definitely fell in love with this journal as I was making these!

PS....this shreddie in the box is still on Stampin' Up!'s clearance rack when I last looked.  I bought quite a bit because it is so much fun to use.  Go grab some while you can!!!

Thank you so much for visiting!  And thanks to my team and customers for your love and support that helped me get on this cruise boat!  I can't wait to share all the details with you because I AM SOOOO GRATEFUL!!!!!  💗💗💗

Please let me know if I can help you with anything!!!!

Casing Above the Clouds...

I get asked a lot where I come up with ideas for what I create.  I have to say...ideas come from everywhere.  Fashion, home decor, Instagram, Facebook, Stampin' Up! catalogs, napkins (haha), my kids clothing, etc.  And of course I also get ideas from other demonstrators!  I saw a card from a fellow demonstrator, Kelly Kent, and just had to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) it.  I did my own little takes on it, but it's so very similar to hers.  I asked her for permission to share, and so here you go!!!

Colors: Gray Granite, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Whisper White

Inks: VersaMark, Pool Party, Gray Granite, Calypso Coral

Cardstock/Papers: Gray Granite, Shimmery White, Pool Party, Gold Glimmer, Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Above the Clouds, A Wish For Everything

Tools: Stitched Rectangle Dies, Word Wishes Dies, Subtle Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter (for splatter), Classic Label Punch

Accessories: Whisper White Baker's Twine, Whisper White Embossing Powder

So cute, huh?!  I love it!  Love how simple the card was, but has such fun details:

That little flag is the Classic Label Punch.  Just punch it out and fold it.

I stamped off for the inside of the balloons (ink up your stamp, stamp onto scratch paper, and THEN--without re-inking your stamp--stamp onto your project) and then just stamped the detailed balloon image over them.  And sure do love me a glittered word!  😀  This bundle, A Wish for Everything, is one of my new faves. 😍

I hope you enjoy this card!  Thanks so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions on anything!

Watercolor Happiness Indeed...

I LOVE Watercoloring.  I take the simple approach to watercoloring, and would never say I am the best there is.  BUT...it is SUCH a fun coloring medium and truly soothes my soul.  And this card...FOR SURE...does that completely:

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green

Inks: VersaMark, Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 & 2: Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green

Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Basic Black, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper

Stamps: It Starts With Art

Tools: Timeless Label Punch, Heat Tool, Detailed Peacock Dies, Stitched Nested Labels Dies, Subtle Embossing Folder, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Woven Threads Sequins Assortment, Whisper White Embossing Powder, Silver Thread

My heart may squeal every time I see this card.  Hee.  But I LOVE the watercoloring, I LOVE the Watercolor Pencils, I LOVE the glimmer (Hello, Wink of Stella Glitter Brush!!!), I LOVE the colors, I LOVE the sentiment, I LOVE that peacock feather behind the greeting, I LOVE those sequins.  I'm sorry....I just really love all the pieces to this card.  😀

Let me show you some details.  First up...PEACOCK FEATHER?!  Oh man....this feather is from the Detailed Peacock Dies in the Noble Peacock Suite.  Total Swoon!!!! 😍😍😍  Love the subtle touch of it when it is cut out with Vellum Cardstock.  And note...I LOVE this sentiment!!!  It's from the It Starts With Art Stamp Set.  💗

Did you catch a peek of all that shimmer in the photo above?!  Well just look at it:

LOVE that Wink of Stella Glitter Brush!  I watercolored all the pieces first, and then just colored over it all with the brush!  And voila!!!  Amazing glitter without ANY mess!!!!

I just love this card, and hope it brings some happiness to your day!!!  Want to see a few pics of the process of this card?!  I shared these on my Instagram stories!  Follow me along at Design With Ink if you don't already!!!

But first...just cut out a bunch of the same size of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies from the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  Then just scribble some color from the Watercolor Pencils on them!

Take your Aqua Painter and start running that color around your shape:

Look how pretty it is!!!

My heart.  😍😍😍  Repeat with your other colors, then arrange them as desired onto your cardstock background piece.  **Note:  I embossed the White cardstock background piece with the Subtle Embossing Folder first.

Let the edges just hang off, and then trim when it is all laid out and adhered down.  Then stand back and squeal as you admire this beauty:

One last look at the full card is coming up!  Because why not?!  😀

TGIF Challenge 219...Color Challenge Time!!!

It's that time again!!!  TGIF Challenge time!!!  Who is ready for a challenge?!?!  It is all about Stampin' Up!'s NEW In Colors this week!!!!  If you don't have them yet...hurry up and get them!!!  😀  Hee.  Or just change it up for something similar.  These challenges are meant to be inspirational and fun...a great jumping off point to being creative.  So do what makes you happy!  I can't wait to see what you do!  And in honor of doing what makes you happy...here is my card that fits right in that theme:

Colors: Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy

Inks: VersaMark, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray

Cardstock/Papers: Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, Fluid Watercolor Paper

Stamps: Tasteful Textures, Butterfly Gala

Tools: Mosaic Embossing Folder, Butterfly Duet Punch, Heat Tool, Aqua Painter

Accessories: Gold Embossing Powder, Linen Thread, Purple Posy 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon, 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots, Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

 

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this greeting!!!  I think we ALL need this reminder!  😁  And here are the colors it is using:

I love the details of this card and feel like this card turned out so soft and with such a "pretty" vibe.  The background I just stamped onto the new Watercolor Paper (this paper lives up to its name.  It feels so "fluid" like it is called.  😀) , spritzed with water, and then added a touch more color with my Aqua Painter to make it all watercolor-y.  Then I added some spritzing of the Rococo Rose color and added some glitter using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to the background.  😍

I love that pretty scalloped ribbon also.  It is one of my very favorite things in the new catalog.  It is so delicate and pretty.  Very shabby chic--I think! 

And again with this greeting.  I just LOVE it!  

I hope you enjoy this card!  Can't wait to see what you make!  I have to admit...I would NEVER have thought to put these colors together...and I am so happy with how it turned out!!!  Go play along and see what you come up with!  Just head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog!  I can't wait to see what you make!

Thanks so much for visiting!!!
