Greenery Lane - A Little Note Of Thanks

Hello Stampers,
I hope your Tuesday is off to a good start! Today's card was inspired by one of the sketch templates I made from Jackie Bolhuis.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a Garden Green Cardstock piece that I stamped leaves from the Greenery Lane Bundle with Garden Green Ink & another strip of Barely Blush Cardstock that was embossed with the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder. For the focal point, I stamped the leaves onto Basic White Cardstock with Garden Green Ink, then used the dies to die-cut the flowers that were stamped with Barely Blush Ink & a dot of Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack before adding it to a layer of Garden Green Cardstock. For the sentiment, I used the now retired POTM Notes Of Spring Stamp Set with Garden Green Ink & stamped a few more flowers before using a retired 1 1/2" Circle Punch to punch it out.

Cutest Crew - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was made for this week's Freshly Made Sketches #736 & my take on it was inspired by one of my favorite swaps that I used to host which was Ebony & Ivory. While I loved that swap this card really wouldn't pass muster as it is missing a few things, LOL!

I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock base, then added a strip of Artisan Sketched Garden DSP & a smaller strip of Basic Black Cardstock. For the circles, I used the 1 3/4" & the retired 1 3/8" Circle Punches with Basic White Cardstock. I used the Cutest Crew Bundle to die-cut the cats using Basic Black Cardstock, doodling around both of the smaller circles with the Stampin' Journaling Pen, popping them up with Stampin' Dimensionals & for the bigger circle I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black Ink, then added the paw prints which surprisingly fit exactly around with no problems. I used some retired Black Neutral Matte Dots to finish the card.  And yes I "embraced the white space" with this card. LOL!

Waterside Retreat - Today Is Your Day

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was inspired by Laura Beacham, from a card she made & had directions for on her FB page

I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Misty Moonlight Cardstock. I chose to use the new Waterside Retreat DSP for both DSP parts, the square focal point was layered on top of Basic Black Cardstock. For the strip, I used Old Olive Cardstock then used a Stampin' Journaling Pen to add a border around it. I used the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set for the sentiment stamping it onto Basic White Cardstock with Misty Moonlight Ink. Both the strip & the square were popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few retired Tinsel Gems 3 Pack in Misty Moonlight to finish the card.

Boutique Blossoms - Happy Mother's Day

Hello Stampers,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday! I wanted to share the card I made for my mom.

I started with a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock where I stamped the large rose from the Boutique Blossoms Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe Ink, before die-cutting it out along with 2 solid Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock roses & several leaves using Peaceful Pine Cardstock. On the stamped rose, I used the Stampin' Blends Crisp Cantaloupe Combo Pack (light) to color around the rose where it had a  white border. Next, I used the Scalloped Bloom Dies to die-cut a scalloped circle made from Basic White Cardstock, adding a sentiment from the retired Heartfelt Hellos with Crisp Cantaloupe Ink. To assemble, I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Bloom Boutique DSP before adhering all the die-cut pieces with Multipurpose Glue & the stamped rose was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added several Loose Gold Sequins to finish the card, these sequins are on the last chance list.
