Wild Bunch - Hi Friend

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by Stampin' Peace with Mary Knabe, who used dies outside of the box to make the focal point of your card stand out. I'm sorry for those who were not able to secure the June POTM before it sold out, however, I just can't let this set go after making only 1 card with it. Please bear with me, because I'll probably use it a few more times! 

I started with 2 layers of Basic Beige Cardstock & retired Timeless Plaid DSP, then used the Everyday Arches Dies to die-cut both layers. I knew I wanted to use the Wild Bunch Stamp Set for this card, but I didn't think ahead enough to how I would color it in without bleeding through the other side, so I stamped the snail & sentiment using Early Espresso Ink onto a scratch piece of Basic Beige Cardstock just big enough to cover the cut out before coloring it in with Crumb Cake & Barely Blush Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. After assembling them, I added them to a Basic Beige Cardstock base. Lastly, I added a few Earthy Matte Dots (Early Espresso) to finish the card.

Relaxing Waterside - Today Is Your Day

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by a card I saw online & I figured out the dimensions & made a sketch template for it.

I'm using the Relaxing Waterside Bundle with the Waterside Retreat DSP. I started with a Gray Granite Cardstock base, then added the DSP to the upper & lower space of the card. For the middle, I used Pool Party Cardstock, stamping it with 2 sentiments from the set using Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the cup from the set onto Basic White Cardstock with Gray Granite Ink, coloring it with Pool Party & Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I used the dies in the bundle to die-cut the cup along with 3 parts of the chair using Gray Granite Cardstock. Lastly, I added a few Array Of Dots (Pool Party) to finish off the card.

Lovely Arrangements - Just A Note

Hello Stampers,

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for this week's sketch challenge on Sunday Stamps using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle.

I started the card by stamping the flowers from the stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock using Crumb Cake Ink, then added some Petal Pink Ink with a Blending Brush & some highlights with the Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. I die-cut the flowers out, along with some of the leaves using Old Olive Cardstock. Everything was arranged & attached using Multipurpose Liquid Glue & the bottom flower by Stampin' Mini Dimensionals to Basic White Cardstock then layered onto Crumb Cake Cardstock. I used the Lovely Blossoms DSP for both the layers behind the focal image which were layered with Crumb Cake Cardstock. I used one of the sentiments from the set using Crumb Cake Ink to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock then die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle & cut the end at an angle. I added a few retired Elegant Faceted Gems (Petal Pink) to finish the card.

Wild Bunch - Hi Friend

Hello Stampers,

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today's card features the new Product of the Month stamp set, that I think is totally adorable. I don't know why but I had to use the bull/cow stamp first cuz it reminded me of some of the cutest videos I have seen on FB of the Highland cows. 

I started with stamping the cow from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set first with retired Memento Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, then coloring it in using Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, befnore adding this to a layer of Pecan Pie Cardstock. Then my brain just went totally blank of where to go next, so I found a Jackie Bolhuis sketch template & continued on my way. I took a strip of Basic White Cardstock then used the checkered pattern stamp & stamped it across the whole strip using Pecan Pie Ink. I couldn't decide on what to do with the background layer, so I ended up using a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie Ink to add some color around the edges of the Pecan Pie Cardstock layer. Once I had this all done, I attached it to a Basic White Cardstock base, added the checkered strip & added a sentiment from the set using Pecan Pie Ink. I added the focal image to the card using Stampin' Mini Dimensionals & added a few Neutral Matte Dots (Pecan Pie) to finish the card.

Sweet Old Friends - Old Friends Are The Best Friends

Hello Stampers,

UGH! I'm so not ready for the triple digits that have started to creep in to say summer is here. Today I have a fun fold card for you called a Slide Out Card. Thanks to Karen Titus who has the instructions on her blog.

I started the card with a piece of Golden Glow Cardstock then added some Silly Old Bear DSP (I forgot to put it on the inside before I attached the slider part. OOPSIE!) I stamped Pooh & Piglet from the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels Bundle using Memento Black Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, coloring them in using Golden Glow, Barely Blush & Hydrangea Hue Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I die-cut the focal image & the Early Espresso Cardstock layer using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies then placed it onto the larger side of the fun fold. The folded part was then placed onto an Early Espresso Cardstock card front.

Here is the picture of the slider part inside of the card. The sentiment comes from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set.
