Smaller Sunflower

Hi! A quick post for today. I am still really into the celebrate sunflower bundle. Today I gave the smaller sunflower a shot. It is so cute and is really quick to color.  I stamped with momento ink (need to use this when coloring with stampin' blends). I colored with light and dark daffodil delight, light and dark crumb cake and light and dark sea foam. I used a mask to sponge crumb cake ink for a background. (I did not realize that this was retired but you could use any mask you have). I heat embossed the sentiment from the set with white embossing powder.

Did you notice the clear drops? They are from the flowers for every season gem pack. I am going to be using these a lot! Love them! I kept this card pretty simple. I hope you enjoy it! Have a blessed day!

Celebrate Sunflowers!

Hi stampers! Thank you for joining me today. I am finally sharing one of the new stamp bundles that I ordered from the new annual catalog. I am having so much fun with celebrate sunflower bundle. Today's card is a simple one layer card. I started by stamping the large sunflower with momento ink so that I could color it with my stampin' blends. I used a combo of light and dark daffodil delight, dark mango melody and light calypso coral. The center I used dark and light crumb cake and bronze. After I finished the coloring I thought that this looked like it belonged on a stem and so I used a sharpie to draw a stem, stamped the large leaf and colored both with light and dark mossy meadow.

Another new set that I just ordered was a grand kid. Even if you do not have grandchildren (which I don't yet-waiting for August!!) this set is amazing. So many positive and wonderful sentiments. I stamped that with my early espresso ink and added a few holiday gems for a little pop of bling.

I had such a relaxing time coloring this image. I am officially hooked on the set, as you will see in the next couple of days. I have been so busy trying different color combos. I look forward to ordering the new blends that just came out in the catalog.

One more thing to note, the background for my photo is the new in good taste designer series paper.  Isn't it gorgeous! I am so excited to use it on cards but for today it made a great background for my card. Thank you for stopping by. If you would like to receive a annual catalog leave a comment and I will get one out to you right away.  Have a blessed day!

My favorite new suite!

Hi! How did you like today's videos?  I am so excited to share with you the new whale suite!  It is my favorite in the new catalog and I am so excited to order everything in that suite!  If you have had time to go through the new catalog either in person or online you will notice that there is a code to order the entire suite, makes ordering so easy. For example, on page 94 with the item code 154126 you will get the bundle,(stamp set and punch) sequins, designer series paper, embossing folder and ribbon all for only $65.50.  I love how easy that is and you have everything you need to make so many adorable whale or sea themed projects!  Which new bundle or set is your favorite?  I would love to hear from you.  Thank you again for stopping by, I hope you have enjoyed these videos. And remember if you have an order over $99 you can sign up to be a demonstrator  and pick $125 worth of product and a FREE bundle of your choice!  Have a blessed day!

Last day to order!!

New adhesive and die machine videos

Hi! Here are a few quick videos to share with you the new adhesive and the new die machine. The die machine is not yet available but I will let you know when it does become available.  I am so excited for the mini machine. So easy to take on the go and I just love little mini things. How about you? I am also anxious to try the new adhesive. I know many people were having issues with the old snail not securing the cards, so I will let you know what I think of the new adhesive as soon as it arrives.  I know that Stampin' Up does a lot of research and so I am sure that it will be an improvement.

Sailboats!

Hi stamping friends!  How are you doing? Can you believe that it is almost June?  Where did May go? Since we have all been told to stay at home I thought time would go very slow however, I feel just the opposite. What about you? Slowly things are starting to open in Orange County California where I live. I have a feeling it will be a long time till everything is completely open. Please make sure to support your local small businesses near you! They really need out support at this time.

On to today's card. I am still using the pieces on my desk that did not have a purpose. Well now they too have a purpose. I had stamped and colored so many sailboats, not sure for what but decided to put them all on this one card. What do you think? They are not social distancing at all!

I also had some scraps of watercolored paper that had been used on a older project and so I used my used my circle punch to create a horizon for the boats to sail on. The stitched nested die is embossed with the high seas embossing folder.  When I put the entire panel on the balmy blue folded card it looked  like it really needed something and so I used the versamark pad to create lines to add a little interest. I love the look it gave to the card, just what I was looking for. I finished the card with a sentiment stamped in black. I think that this is my favorite greeting from this stamp set and I use it all the time! Who of us doesn't need love and prayers? I know I do daily!

Thank you for stopping by today and let me know what you have been working on during stay in place. Remember you are all in my prayers! Blessings!

Who will miss stitched label dies?

Hi! Welcome! So glad that you are here. I am going to miss the stitched label dies. I love the die that I created this card with. And check out that adorable little heart! So cute! The greeting in the set that coordinates with the dies (stitched all around) has some adorable sentiments. They are really encouraging and fun.

I also used some of my favorite dsp, best dressed. I think that I love this dsp because of the colors. I think pink and green are a great combo and especially when they are bold and bright, so feminine.  

If you have been following my blog for about the last week or so you have seen almost all the scraps that have been cluttering my desk. I have been on a mission to use them up before the new catalog goes live. I am really tempted to use the new sets that I have ordered but I promised myself that I need to use all the things that I had already stamped. A good way to clean my desk, don't you think?

Thank you for visiting me! I am so grateful for all the comments that you take the time to make. Have a great rest of your week and I think there are just a few more scraps that I hope to share with you soon! Blessings and prayers for all!
