Enduring Beauty - Love Never Gives Up

Hello stampers,

Today's card features a few sneak peeks that will be coming in a little over a week, oh my I can't believe it is that time already.

So the 1st sneak peek, although you don't get to see it much of it on the card, we have a new basic color, Basic Beige. Oh, this might be a new favorite color, it will come in cardstock & ink. I think it will be a great color for the no line stamping technique. I used almost a full sheet of cardstock to make this unusual gate card. I stamped the floral stamp from Enduring Beauty Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock with Basic Beige Ink. I colored it in using the Enduring Beauty Masks with Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green & Old Olive Inks using a few Blending Brushes. For the 2nd sneak peek, I used a new sentiment stamp set called Unbounded Love with Basic Beige Ink (this set also comes in a bundle.) I backed the focal point with Daffodil Delight Cardstock before attaching it to the front of the card. Next, I added a few panels of Brights DSP to both sides of the gate fold, then added my inside sentiment using the Perennial Postage Stamp Set with Basic Beige Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Lastly, I added a few Shiny Sequins to finish off the card.

Every Day Details - Friendship

Hello stampers,

Today's card was made for a pre-challenge for Creativate Spring. The challenge was to create a background using scoring lines. I have seen the look & liked it but darn if I can remember to do it on a card.

I started with Basic White Cardstock scoring 1/4" on each side, then used a stamp from the Everyday Details Stamp Set with Misty Moonlight Ink to stamp in the center of the scored lines. Next, I used a sentiment from Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set with Misty Moonlight Ink & then used a retired 1 3/8" Circle Punch to punch it out. I used Misty Moonlight Cardstock for the base of the card followed by a layer of Countryside Inn DSP, before adding the focal point. For the sentiment, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up before attaching to the card. Lastly, I used Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack to color a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

Cutest Cows - Every Thought Of You

Hello stampers,

This cow set is just too cute! So I wanted to make a fun card with it to share with you today, along with several other products.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock layer, you may not be able to see them too well but I used the borders in the Bright Skies Dies to make a cloud template & used Balmy Blue Ink with a Blending Brush to add some clouds to the top. Next, I added the sunflowers & grass from the Cutest Cows Stamp Set to the bottom of the card using Memento Black & Old Olive Inks, coloring in the sunflowers with Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, then taking a Stamping Dauber added a bit more Old Olive Ink to the grassy part. I used a sentiment from the Textured Floral Stamp Set with Pecan Pie Ink. For the cow, I used a Basic White Cardstock scrap piece, stamped the head & body then punched them out using the Cutest Cows Builder Punch, before coloring it in using Pecan Pie, Medium Light & Deep Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. This layer was then backed by a layer of Pecan Pie Cardstock, then added to a Daffodil Delight Cardstock base. I added the cow using Stampin' Dimensionals to finish the card.
