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.

Petals Of Beauty - Thank You

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by a sketch template by Jackie Bolhuis.

I started the card with a Calypso Coral Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Petal Pink Cardstock. I cut 2 sets of 4 rectangles of Calypso Coral Cardstock & Brushed With Beauty DSP. For the focal image, I stamped a sentiment from the product of the month Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set with Calypso Coral Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then stamped the leaf combo from the Petals Of Beauty Stamp Set with Old Olive Ink (stamped off once) & then added the veins full strength. I took a scrap of Basic White Cardstock stamping the smaller flower with Petal Pink & Calypso Coral Inks (stamped off once) before using the Petals Of Beauty Dies to die-cut it. I added a few Mini Stampin' Dimensionals onto the left side of the image before adding it to the card. Lastly, I added a few Low Profile Dots (Petal Pink) to finish the card.
