Last Chance - Perfectly Pears

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by a sketch tutorial from Jackie Bolhuis featuring a last chance stamp set & 

DSP.

I started the card with a Basic Beige Cardstock base then used the Painterly Pears DSP for 2 layers on the card. I used the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch a circle using Darling Duckling Cardstock for the focal image, stamping the small pears in the Perfectly Pears Stamp Set with Memento Black Ink, then coloring in using Granny Green & Mossy Meadow Ink Pads (used a Sponge Dauber to add directly to stamp) along with Pecan Pie & Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I layered the DSP rectangle & the focal image with Petal Pink Cardstock. Lastly, I used Charming Shimmer Dots in Petal Pink to finish the card.

Natural Botanicals - Time To Celebrate

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's sketch challenge by Freshly Made Sketches, which features a sneak peek at a new embossing folder coming soon.

To start the card, I used the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder (coming in March) to emboss a piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock, then added this to a Basic White Cardstock base. For the sentiment, I used the retiring Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set to stamp it onto a Basic White Cardstock strip using Daffodil Delight Ink then added it to the center of the embossed layer. Next, I stamped the daisy or is it a coneflower (hmmm...IDK) from the Natural Botanicals Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock with Memento Black Ink then colored the images in using Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Packs before punching the image out using the 1 7/8" Circle Punch & adding Stampin' Dimensionals to pop both image up. Lastly, I added a some Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card.

Cutest Crew - Just A Little Hello

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches with a sneak peek of an upcoming bundle.

I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock layer where I stamped one of the sentiments from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set using Smoky Slate Ink, then added a piece of Country Woods DSP stamped with the paw prints from the same set using the same ink. Next, I used a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock to stamp the cats using Memento Black Ink, then coloring them in using Peach Pie, Smoky Slate, & Basic Black Stampin' Blends to match some of the cats I've had or still have & adhered it to  where the DSP stops. Once I was done with the front layer, I added it to a Smoky Slate Cardstock layer & then to a Basic White Cardstock base.

Bee My Valentine - Happy Valentines Day

Hello Stampers,

Today's Valentine's Day card was inspired by a color combo challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments.

I started this card by embossing Strawberry Slush, Flirty Flamingo, & Bubble Bath Cardstocks with the Hearts Of Love Embossing Folder, then adhering them to a layer of Basic White Cardstock & a Flirty Flamingo Cardstock base. Next, I used the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch out a circle using Basic White Cardstock then used the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set to stamp a sentiment using Strawberry Slush Ink & the trio hearts using Bubble Bath Ink. From a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock, I stamped the bee parts using Strawberry Slush, Flirty Flamingo & Bubble Bath Ink Pads before punching out the parts with the Bee Builder Punch & assembling them together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I attached the bee to the circle & added Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it off the card. Lastly, I added a few Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems to the antennas of the bee to finish the card.
