Silly Safari - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

Last week was a bit hectic for me & I didn't really get spend any time in my craft room, which was probably for the best since my brain just didn't seem to want to cooperate the one time I tried. Today's card uses a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches & I thought I'd give some ink time to a bundle that I think I've only used a couple of times.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock layer where I used a leaf stamp from the Silly Safari Bundle with Garden Green Ink to stamp all over it. I took a strip of Basic White Cardstock & used a sentiment from the retired December product of the month Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set with Garden Green Ink, adding the same leaf stamp to both edges & then added a small strip of Garden Green Cardstock to the bottom of the strip before adhering it to the background & a Garden Green Cardstock base. Next, I stamped 3 of the animals on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then used Pecan Pie, Gray Granite, Petal Pink & Medium Light Stampin' Blends to color in 2 of the animals before using the 

1-7/8" Circle Punch to make them into circles. I then used the 2" Circle Punch to cut out 3 circles from a Garden Green Cardstock strip. I glued 2 of the animals directly to the background then added Stampin' Dimensionals to the monkey circle.

Fractured Cards With The New In Colors

Hello Stampers,

I've been waiting to make a group of cards with the new In Colors & I saw a video from Maryann's Scrapdesk showing fractured cards. I've made this type of card before but not the straight layout.

I started all the cards off with a Basic White Cardstock base, with an additional layer of Basic White Cardstock that was cut down in order to allow the additional layers to show through. Instead of using a full layer of the Bloom Boutique DSP, I cut it down to 2". I also made strips from Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue & Barely Blush Cardstocks. For the sentiments, I used the Sending Salutations & the Phrases & Frames Stamp Sets with Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hydrangea Hue & Barely Blush Inks. Lastly, I added a few 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies matching the color with the one I used on each card.

Artisan Sketched Garden - Happiest Of Birthdays

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's sketch at Sunday Stamps. I thought this sketch would look good with a black & white theme.

I chose to use Basic Black Cardstock for the base & the layers behind the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP, along with the sentiment. I used the retired Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder to add a bit of texture to the Basic White Cardstock layer. For the sentiment, I used the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set, stamping it with Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Neutral Matte Dots in Basic Black to finish the card.

Scalloped Blooms - Thank You

Hello Stampers,

I hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend, we had a quite weekend at home. Today's card was inspired by a sketch I found on Pinterest that didn't have any info on who made it, but I to make a go of it.

I started with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base, along with a scrap piece that was die-cut using the Scalloped Blooms Dies. I tried to remember when the last time I used Very Vanilla & it escapes me so I'm guessing it has been quite a while. Next, I cut up some Brushed With Beauty DSP to layer on top of a Darling Duckling Cardstock layer, then added a few 2025-27- In Color Flat Pearls in Darling Duckling to the center. I used the Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set to stamp a sentiment onto the die-cut using Darling Ducking Ink, then used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up on the finished card.
