Tasty Trucks - A Watercolor

Good Thursday Morning! I hope this is finding you all well! We are in the middle of another one of our Lake Effect storms that will span a few days, so the snow is piling up that's for sure. They claim by Sunday once it's over we will be right around the 3 foot mark..YUK! So, hopefully, you are warm and snug where ever you happen to be.
Anyway, I have a cute card I wanted to share with you today, and it's using the Sale-a-bration set, Tasty Trucks. I just love this set and think it's absolutely adorable.

I used the Blender Pens to distribute and blend out the watercolor pencil and it worked beautifully. I think it has become my favorite way to use these pencils, it's just so smooth especially on the Shimmery White paper.
So, here are the directions for this card:
Supplies:
Stamps: Tasty Trucks
Ink: Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"; Scrap for sentiment; Pop of Pink DSP 5 1/4" x 4"; Night of Navy for scalloped square; Shimmery White for stamped image
Misc: Layering Squares Framelits; Blender Pens, Watercolor Pencils; Fast Fuse; Dimensionals

Begin by adhering the DSP to the card base. then run the Night of Navy through the Big Shot with the largest Scalloped Square and adhere that to the upper center of the card. Then stamp the image onto the Shimmery White cardstock and I added the Hot Dog and string of hot dogs as well. Then, using the watercolor pencils I layed down an outline of color and pulled the color into the image using the Blender Pens. I then ran that through the Big Shot with the second to the largest straight edged Square framelit and popped it up on to the card using Dimensionals. I then stamped the sentiment using the Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White and adhered it to the bottom front of the card using Fast Fuse. Another quick and easy card that was fun to make.

I hope you enjoyed today's card share. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you and I wish you all a wonderful day!
Happy Stamping,
Katrina

Sealed with Love - Hugs and Kisses

Hi guys! Happy Tuesday! Wow, I went 6 day's without internet service and had serious doubts I was even going to get this post out to you, but low and behold...I made it...phew....! Anyhoo, my addiction with this stamp set does continue, but this card was actually conceptualized accidentally! What I mean is, when making one of the other cards, I had punched out the sweetheart shaped piece from a half sheet of cardstock sitting on my desk. Well that half sheet was still sitting there and so I picked it up and went a head and folded it in half again (creating a card base) and that's all she wrote...I got this idea, and here it is!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Sealed with Love
Paper: Real Red 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" cut and scored 4 1/4" and scrap; Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4" and scrap for heart Sending Love DSP 2' x 5 1/4"
Ink: Real Red
Misc: Sweetheart punch; Sweet and Sassy Framelits; Falling Petals TIEF; Big Shot; Basic Pearls; Dimensionals; Fast Fuse

Directions:
Punch the sweetheart shape from the bottom right corner of the card base and adhere the DSP to the left. Run a piece of scrap Real Red through the Big Shot with the 2nd largest heart framelit and a Whisper White piece with the next smaller size. Run the Real Red heart through again with the Falling Petals TIEF and adhere that to the card over the DSP. Stamp the Happy Valentine's Day in Real Red onto the Whisper White heart. and add that to the card with a Dimensional overlapping the Real Red heart. Add 3 small pearls to the bottom right. Add a piece of Whisper White to the inside of the card and while holding the card closed, stamp the Hugs and Kisses in the center of the punched heart.

I hope you enjoyed today's "accidental" card. Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear. Thank you and have a great day!
Happy Stamping,
Katrina

New New New - Remarkable Blog Hop

Hey there! Welcome to the next stop on the blog hop! I truly hope you are enjoying all the talents of these great hoppers! I know I am! So, the focus of this hop as I am sure you have figured out, is all of the great new and awesome stuff in the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration mini and here is my card:

This card uses the brand new stamp set Birthday Blast, the new Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder and new Sale-a-Bration DSP Carried Away. I have to tell you, I am just LOVING on these new Dynamic Embossing Folders! The amount of texture and dimension is just amazing! Just a tip though, when using these folders, you will want to lightly spritz your paper with water to allow the paper fibers to soften a bit to allow them to stretch and mold to the folder. That's what gives you such amazing dimension.
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Birthday Blast
Paper: Whisper White 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"; Mint Macaron 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and 4" x 2"; Carried Away DSP cut 4 1/2" x 2 1/2"; Night of Navy cut 3/4" x 3 1/4";
Ink: Night of Navy
Misc: Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder, Night of Navy solid Bakers Twine; Stampin' Dimensionals; Liquid Multipurpose Glue

Directions:
Run the Mint Macaron piece through the Big Shot with the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder (remember to spritz the paper lightly) and apply to the Whisper White card base using Liquid Multipurpose glue (this works best when working with textured cardstock). Center the DSP onto the card using adhesive of choice, I used liquid glue since I had it handy. Banner the end of the Night of Navy strip and adhere that to the card. Stamp the Happy Birthday from the Birthday Blast stamp set using Night of Navy ink and wrap with the Night of Navy twine and tie a bow, trim the tails and using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhere to the lower, slightly to the right of the card.

I hope you enjoyed the card and I hope you've seen enough to help you fall in love with these new products as much as I have. Please feel free to leave a comment as I love hearing your feedback and I wish you all a wonderful evening.

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Sealed with Love
Paper: Basic Black 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; Sending Love DSP 5 1/2" x 1 3/4"; Crumb Cake; Whisper White 3/4" x 3"; Real Red
Ink: Real Red; Crumb Cake
Misc: Sweetheart Punch; Paper Snips; Fast Fuse; Stampin' Dimensionals; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Big Shot; Sponge Daubers

Directions:
Adhere the DSP to the cardbase. Cut the Crumb Cake using the 2nd to the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes framelits and using a sponge dauber, sponge with Crumb Cake. Punch a heart from the Real Red cardstock and add 3 Pearls and adhere to the crumb cake circle with a dimensional and adhere to the card. Stamp the Love Note sentiment in Real Red ink onto the Whisper White and banner the ends using your paper snips. Add this to the card, sliding it slightly under the circle.
