Wild Bunch - Wishing You Good Things

Hello Stampers,

I made today's card for the newest sketch challenge from The Paper Players #PP792.

I started the card with a Smoky Slate Cardstock base, then added a layer of Beautiful Gallery DSP & a strip of Basic Gray Cardstock. For the focal image, I used the koala from the retired POTM Wild Bunch Stamp Set stamping it onto Basic White Cardstock with Basic Gray Ink, then coloring it in with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Saying Bundle to stamp onto Smoky Slate Cardstock with Basic Gray Ink & punching it out with the punch. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up both the focal image & the sentiment. Lastly, I added a few retired Classic Matte Dots (Basic Gray) to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers - Here's To You!

Hello Stampers,

I'm still not done showing off Pretty In Pink I guess, but maybe I should give a little love to the other outgoing In Colors at some point. EEK! Today's card was inspired by a memory in FB land of a card I made 3 years ago, so I decided to make a similar card using what I called a Block Grid Technique,

I started with a square piece of Basic White Cardstock & selected the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set to stamp the outlined stamp with Melon Mambo Ink & the solid in Pretty In Pink Ink. Next, I started to cut the square apart using different sizes & directions, then used a Sponge Dauber with Pretty In Pink Ink to go around all the edges up to the stamp parts. Once I was done, I glued all the pieces down on a layer of Melon Mambo Cardstock, side by side like it would look if I hadn't cut it into lots of pieces. Next, I embossed a piece of Pretty In Pink Cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder & attaching it to a Basic White Cardstock base. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, stamping it with Melon Mambo Ink, punching it out using the 3 Banner Punch also using the Sponge Dauber to add some Pretty In Pink to all sides as I did with the focal image & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few retired Basic Pearls to finish off the card.

Throughout The Year - Best Of Luck

Hello Stampers,

I used a recent sketch template from Juli Baca for today's card & realized after it was finished that I used a retired stamp set. OOPSIE! Guess that means I have to go through my stamps again to see if anything else is retired.

I started this card by cutting the Autumn Toile DSP diagonally twice to make 4 pieces flipping the top & bottom piece to the back side of the paper before gluing them down to a layer of Gray Granite Cardstock. For the sentiment, I used the Throughout The Year Stamp Set with Gray Granite Ink stamping it onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, then layering it with Gray Granite Cardstock. The sentiment was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. All were attached to a Very Vanilla Cardstock base.

Sunrise Sailing - Congratulations

Hello Stampers,

Happy Friday everyone! Today's card was inspired by The Paper Players #PP49 theme challenge which was By The Water.

I chose to use the Sunrise Sailing Bundle for this challenge, embossing Balmy Blue Cardstock with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder, then using a Blending Brush to add some Blueberry Bushel Ink to the water area & then used a Sponge Dauber to add some White Craft Ink to the clouds. Next, I used the sailboat die to die-cut the boat out of the Balmy Blue Cardstock & replaced it with a die-cut of the stamped image where I stamped on to Basic White Cardstock using the Memento Black & Blueberry Bushel Ink Pads & colored int the boat with Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. For the sentiment, I stamped using the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad onto b, cut an end at an angle & attached it to the cards using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Celebratory Sips - Cheers!

Hello Stampers,

Today's card uses a recent Online Exclusvie stamp set. I didn't originally set out to make this particular card I had a whole different set I was thinking about, then changed my mind. My brain was coming up with another idea & this is what I ended up with. LOL!

I started this card by die-cutting the 2 glass dies from the Cheers & Sips Dies from a Cloud Cover Cardstock base, along with 2 drinks from the Celebratory Sips DSP. Next, I used the Elements of Text Stamp Set to add a few splotches onto the base using the Stampin' Write 2025-2027 In Color Markers since I haven't gotten the Cloud Cover Ink Refill to make my mini ink pad. I then pulled out the Mini Alphabet Dies to create a a cheers banner! I wrapped around the card & the smallest glass with the White 1/4" Ribbon & tied it into a knot, before finishing the card with a few Purple Sequins in the white color
