Rainbows & Sunshine Happy Birthday Card

 Hello Stampers!  

Well, I had so much fun last week doing the Atlantic Card Sketch Chellenge, I decided to do another one!  I made it using the really cute Rainbows & Sunshine DSP, which is a Sale-a-bration FREEBIE until the end of February.  I think it is just the prettiest paper!  I paired it with the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.

I used sketch 460 from Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge.  Here it is:

The card really was easy to pull together.  A little stamping, punching some cute clouds with the cloud punch, and some gluing and just like that, card done!

• I stamped the sentiment on two clouds punched from Basic White CS, one in Melon Mambo and one in Bermuda Bay.
• I punched some clouds from the Rainbow and Sunshine DSP as well as the rainbow and assembled them on top of another piece of  the DSP which was the background piece. 
• I scattered some blue Waves basic jewels from the new Suite coming in the next Annual catalog. 
• I added another sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set on the card inside in Melon Mambo ink and a corner of rainbow in the corner of the card inside.

On the envelope front, I stamped the heart full strength once, then twisted the stamp to just slightly overlap the hearts and stamped again without re-inking, and did that on both lower corners.

I sponged a cloud in Bermuda Bay ink using the negative space from the cloud punch out as a mask.  Some matching DSP on the envelope flap completed it!

I hope you enjoyed my card today!  If you want to recreate this card, the  measurements and supplies I used are below.  If you live in the USA and don't already have a demonstrator, I would love to assist you with your crafting needs.  If you would like a copy of the new catalog or a calendar of my class schedule, please let me know, and I will be glad to send you one.

Until next time...

Happy Stamping!

Sweet Conversations Slim Line Valentine Card

 Hello Stampers!  

Happy Valentine's Day!!  (Okay, well it technically is Monday, but I hope you are sharing the day with the one you love!)  I will be sharing the day with my hubby and my fur baby, Lilly.  Love them both!  I will be fixing them both a special dinner, and I will be giving my hubby this card.  

I made it using the Sweet Conversations Bundle which is part of the Sweet Talk Suite in the current mini catalog.  The DSP is a pattern from the Sweet Talk DSP which is part of this suite, and I thought it worked well on this card.  I LOVE the little envelope die in the set with the hearts spilling out of it.  And I have not done many slim line cards, so they are always fun to try!

If you follow my blog, you might remember that one of my New Year resolutions was to challenge myself to participate in stamping and card challenges.  Well, this month I decided to get one done in time to actually enter the challenge!  It will be my first official entry in a challenge!  Woohoo, a resolution I actually kept!   I used sketch 459 from Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge.  Here it is:

The card really was easy to pull together.  A little stamping, die cutting, and some gluing and just like that, card done!

• All the stamping was done in Real Red ink on Blushing Bride or Basic White CS.  
• All the little hearts were die cuts from the Sweet Hearts Dies along with that adorable tiny envelope!
• I then assembled the card as the sketch showed, and added another row of the hearts on the bottom of the card inside.

On the envelope front, I stamped the heart full strength once, then twisted the stamp to just slightly overlap the hearts and stamped again without re-inking, and did that on both lower corners.

Some matching DSP on a legal size envelope flap I had from the dollar store and, then I had an envelope as pretty as the card!

I hope you enjoyed my card today!  If you want to recreate this card, the  measurements and supplies I used are below.  If you live in the USA and don't already have a demonstrator, I would love to assist you with your crafting needs.  If you would like a copy of the new catalog or a calendar of my class schedule, please let me know, and I will be glad to send you one.

Until next time...

Happy Stamping!

Hello Friend Customer Thank You

 

 Hi Stampers!

I am participating in another Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!  They are so fun!  I am so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog - either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post today.  This is my customer Thank You cards for February.  They are using the current Friendly Hello Sale-a-Bration stamp set and DSP that you can get FREE with a $100.00 order now through February 28th.  I LOVE this stamp set and DSP.  

Here are the instructions for how I did it:

• Stamp the Thanks sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set in Versamark ink on right side of a small strip of Fresh Freesia CS.
• Sprinkle with White embossing powder and use heat tool to melt and set.
• Adhere floral DSP panel on top and striped DSP on bottom of an Evening Evergreen Shimmer Vellum panel.  Center Thanks sentiment CS strip between the two DSP panels and place on card front.
• On a Basic White CS panel, stamp the flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp set in Fresh Freesia ink and the leaves in Evening Evergreen ink.
• Use Light and Dark (LT/DK) Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends to color flowers and leaves, and color lifter to lighten and shade in certain areas.
• Adhere to another piece of Evening Evergreen Shimmer Vellum and adhere to left of sentiment on card front using Dimensionals.
• Place several 2021-2023 In Color Jewels around card front.

• Stamp sentiment for card inside on panel of Basic White in Evening Evergreen ink and place small strip of floral DSP to left side of panel, then adhere to another panel of Shimmer Vellum and then to the card inside.
  

The card is simple to put together which made quick work of the stack of cards I needed to create.  I hope all my customers who shopped with me this month like them as much as I do!
