MMS011325 - You Are Appreciated

Hello stampers,

Today's card was made from this week's Mystery Monday Stamping clues from Sharon Armstrong. It's been a bit since I've done a card for MMS, but thought I would make a monochromatic card using a new DSP.

Have you seen the three updated DSP's that dropped last week? These new DSP's have been seen before, but Stampin' Up! recently updated them with newer colors. I chose to use Serene Love DSP to make this card, along with Pretty Peacock, Basic White & Basic White Thick Cardstocks. The embossing folder I chose was the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. For the sentiment, I used the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set stamped with Pretty Peacock Ink onto Basice White Cardstock, then was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few of the Sequins Trio to finish the card.

~Thanks for stopping by!

Simply Zinnia - Thank You

Hello stampers,

Today's card was inspired by a recent sketch by Freshly Made Sketches using a few of the last chance products.

I started my card by stamping the floral bunch from Simply Zinnia Stamp Set with Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, before die-cutting it with Stylish Shape Dies. I colored the focal point using Highland Heather, Blackberry Bliss, Petal Pink, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends. Next, I assembled 4 different pieces of Flowering Zinnia DSP & added them to a Basic White Cardstock base. I used the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set to stamp a sentiment using Melon Mambo Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then fussy cut around the letters. Both the focal point & the sentiment were then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Petal Pink Low Profile Dots to finish the card.

Here is the sketch I used to make this card.

Beautiful Butterflies - Happy Birthday

Hello stampers,

Today I used the day 9 sketch from Martin's Mayhem - Papercrafter #sketchmayhem365 instagram challenge. If you ever need a bit of help for a card idea try a sketch or a color combo challenge that you find on the web.

For today's card, I started with a new bundle called Beautiful Butterflies. I used Berry Burst Cardstock & Beautiful Bokeh DSP (another new item) to die-cut the butterfly using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. For the flowers, I ended up using the retired Two-Tone Floral Stamp Set with Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia & Calypso Coral Cardstocks/Inks, then die-cut them using the retired Two-Toned Floral Dies. For my base, I assembled the Beautiful Bokeh DSP, Berry Burst & Basic White Cardstocks, before adding the butterfly & the flowers. I used a strip of Basic White Cardstock for the sentiment, stamping a sentiment from the set using Berry Burst Ink which was popped up using Stampin' Mini Dimensionals. To finish the card, I added a few Berry Burst sequins from Sequins Trio.
