Create a Fun Background with Stampin' Blends Markers

 Hello and Happy Hump Day my friends! 

Today I want to share with you a card I made during my Facebook/ YouTube Live. This was the first card we made during that episode, and it features a really pretty background created using Stampin' Blends.

Here I used the Light and Dark Pool Party and the Light and Dark Fresh Freesia. It really doesn't get any easier than that. I literally scribbled some color onto the Basic White panel, keeping the dark shades in the center, stamped a couple of bees in Fresh Freesia and Pool Party and added a sentiment from the stamp set. The softness of the colors really make this a wow card with ZERO effort. 

So tell me what you think? Leave a comment, I'd love to know your thoughts.

Happy Stamping,

Splendid Foils

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Today I wanted to highlight the gorgeous 12" x 12" Splendid Day DSP. This paper is absolutely GORGEOUS! One side is a beautiful foil in soft colors and patterns, the reverse side is soft colors with tone on tone patterns. 

I will say, this card was extremely difficult to photograph to get good images because of the shiny foil, so I do apologize that I am not able to capture just how beautiful this card is...but trust me it is...and it's all because of the DSP. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment and I LOVE that 1/2 circle/wedge die, don't you?

Celebrate a Splendid Day

 

Hello friends. Happy Monday! This week, I am focusing on the beautiful Splendid Day suite from the July to December Mini catalog. I love this suite and the DSP is absolutely gorgeous, with beautiful, shiny metallic foils and soft pretty patterned sides in the softest of colors like Fresh Fresia, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam to name a few. 

For this card, I die cut the outline piece from a piece of the foiled DSP and I tucked in a trinket for a little more sparkle. I am really happy with the results.

Let me know what you think? Then, go grab some crafty supplies and get crafty! And make sure you've signed up for my mailing list, later this week, I will have a printable PDF for this card exclusive for my subscribers. They're also receiving my 12 weeks of Christmas projects as well. 

Happy Stamping,

Half Triangle Flocked Snowflake Specialty Vellum Card

Hey friends, I'm back today with another fun card featuring the beautiful Snowflake Vellum and Hope and Peace stamp set. This card was totally inspired by Selene Kempton, a fellow demonstrator.

If you have ever dabbled in quilting, then you know all about the "half triangle", but it's a great layout for cards too! Just cut a layer 4" x 5 1/4" then slice on the diagonal. You now have a piece for 2 separate cards. 

I did punch a Smoky Slate "decorative circle" to place behind the Beautiful Snowflake to make it pop a little. The sentiment is stamped in Pacific Point and I sprinkled a few Sparkling Adhesive-backed gems to finish it off and I love how it came out. 

Below you will find the full list of supplies and they are linked to my store for easy shopping. I hope these cards this week inspire you to get crafty and create!
