Poetic Petals - Hello

Hello Stampers,
I'm sorry I've been MIA this week! I did manage to get today's card done for this week's Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic InstaHop featuring Lost Lagoon, which is one of my top 5 favorite colors. You can go to my Instagram page to get the links of the other participants to show them a little love.

I used the Poetic Petals Bundle for this card & used the Fractured Card technique. For the diamond, I used the Poetic Petal Dies to die cut the focal image & the background with Basic White & Lost Lagoon Cardstock. The diamond was then put onto a Everyday Essentials DSP layer, then I used strips of Basic White Cardstock to go around the diamond. I couldn't figure out how to add the sentiment but then realized that the "hello" from the Poetic Petals Stamp Set was just the right size to fit on the strips, so stamped all 4 strips using Lost Lagoon Ink. Once this layer was completed I added it to a Basic White Cardstock base.

Painted Patch - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was inspired by a sketch from Jackie Bolhuis & showcases the Painted Patch DSP with all the fun colors.

I started this card with a Pool Party Cardstock base, then cut a piece of the Painted Patch DSP down to size before layering it onto Secret Sea Cardstock. For the sentiment, I used the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set with Secret Sea Ink to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock which was then punched out using the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. The sentiment was then layered onto a Secret Sea Cardstock circle using the 1-7/8" Circle Punch, which was added to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I used a few Painted Patch Dots (Pool Party) to finish the card.

Painted Pumpkins - Hello

Hello Stampers,
Today I'm participating in the Crafty Collaborations Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop with the theme of Fall Is In The Air & this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. Of course, the theme just happens to coincide with my featured product this week. WIN! WIN!

I started my card with a Basic White Cardstock base, then layered it with strips of Painted Patch & Sunflower Fields DSP. I then die-cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies, used the ground stamp from the Painted Pumpkins Stamp Set to stamp with Crumb Cake Ink. Next, I stamped the 3 pumpkins from the same set, die-cut them with the Painted Pumpkin Dies & colored them in using Golden Glow, Timid Tiger & Cajun Craze Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. For the sentiment, I used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set with Cajun Craze Ink, placed them on the die-cut circle & attached to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a Linen Thread bow to the front pumpkin that was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals & added a few Earthy Matte Dots (Cajun Craze) to finish the card.

Painted Pumpkins - Hello Gourdgeous

Hello Stampers,
This week's featured product will be the Painted Patch Suite Collection. I especially love the soft pastel palette—colors you might not typically associate with pumpkins, but they work beautifully together. I completely missed the sentiment I used on this card when I first purchased the set. It wasn’t until I saw another demonstrator use it, that it made me like it even more.

I started this card with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base, then also used another piece to die-cut the focal area with Everyday Arch Dies. I used the Exploring Nature Two-Tone Cardstock (Secret Sea) & embossed it using the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder, then used a Sanding Block to rough it up a bit more. For the focal image, I stamped a sentiment from Painted Pumpkins Stamp Set using Secret Sea Ink. Next, I die-cut the fence & pumpkins using Crumb Cake, Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo & Crushed Curry Cardstocks & added them to the focal image. Lastly, I added a few Radiant Gems (Secret Sea) to finish the card.
