The Flip-Side of Sunny Days

Happy Friday stampers and welcome to this weeksTGIF Challenges Product Spotlight Challenge!  This week we are sharing some of our Sale-A-Bration products and I promise you will love them all!

I love the Sunny Days DSP!  Both sides of this Designer Series Paper is so seriously cute!  So cute that I had to make TWO cards using the flip side of nearly all of the designs!

For the first card, I went with the designs filled with mostly Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce. The cherry pattern is my favorite, so that was placed front and center!  I topped the Heartfelt Hellos sentiment off with a sweet little cherry Simply Sparkling dies and wrapped it all up with my favorite Black & White Gingham Ribbon. I added a little extra "friend" sentiment from the Best Family Ever stamp set.

On the flip side of all of the Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce are Crushed Curry, Petal Pink and Pool Party...with a little more Poppy Parade mixed in. The adorable Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers were the perfect little embellishments for this card!

There are just a couple weeks left to earn the Sale-A-Bration items for FREE with a qualifying purchase!  Don't miss out on all of the fun this time around!

Happy Stamping!

Latte Love

Welcome to the February edition of Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  In honor of Valentine's Day, we are sharing techniques we love most!

To go along with the techniques I love most, I had to make a card with the beverage I love most...coffee!  A Little Latte Suite Collection is coming soon, but I have a sneak peek to share with you today!

The coffee splatters and drips stamped images are my favorite in the stamp set.  I added a bit more splatter with the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker...my most used technique!  Such a fun and easy way to add just a little extra to any project!

Another quick and easy technique is curled and distressed corners...another one that I frequently use! With a few swipes of the bone folder over the corners of the paper, it quickly separates to give a little added texture.

But wait...there's more techniques to share.  Tearing the edges of the paper added even more texture!  And we can't forget my all time favorite, fussy cutting!  I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso and fussy cut around each word. 

I stamped the mugs in Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon, coloring them with coordinating Stampin' Blends.  The perfect coffee and cream ratio was added with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie.  This suite is amazing!

Keep hopping along to see what technique Cheryl has to share with us next!

Loved Beyond Measure

I just had to use the beautiful Flight & Airy DSP bird for this weeks TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge.  This paper is gorgeous and I could spend hours fussy cutting all of the beautiful birds!  This little birdie perched in the pretty little tree was perfect for the sketch.

I traded out the circles for the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.  I embossed each punched piece with the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder.  I love how it kind of ties in with the leafy Lost Lagoon patterned paper.

The Perennial Postage sentiment was heat embossed in white on a piece of Pecan Pie and tucked in amongst the tree branches.  It was meant to be!

There is still a little bit of time left to earn the Flight & Airy DSP for FREE during Sale-a-Bration!  Don't miss out!

Perennial Friendship

A sketch challenge is my favorite way to start a card and this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge is a great one!

I used this sketch to showcase the beautiful Perennial Lavender DSP.  I love the Crumb Cake with all of the different shades of purple and green!

I stamped a couple stems of lavender in shades of Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and bundled them together with some Fresh Freesia, Basic White and Pretty Peacock foliage.  They were tied together with a piece of Crumb Cake Bakers Twine.

A sweet little Perennial Postage sentiment and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were the finishing touches.  

Happy Stamping!

Rockin' and Rollin' Through Monday {Montage}

 

Hello friends!  The Monday Montage crew is back with another fantastic hop for you this week!  Hop along and see all that we have to share with you.

I have no musical talent what so ever, but I absolutely love the Rock & Roll Suite Collection.  The stamps, the dies, the awesome black and white Rock & Roll DSP and the amazing Lightening & Stars embellishments...they are all so good!

Anyone else flashback to middle school when you saw the boombox and mixed tape pattern of DSP?!? I love it so much I had to use it on both cards! Sticking with the colors of the Lightening & Stars embellishments, I layered Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana, topping with some strips of the amazing DSP.  The guitar pick was die cut from another fun pattern and topped with the retro microphone.  Thanks for being an icon felt like the perfect sentiment for this card!

Of course I had to color the cool guitar...a pop of Parakeet Party was just right for a Rock & Roll Birthday!  I heat embossed the sentiment in black on Costal Cabana and  die cut another guitar pick.  I layered another pattern of DSP behind to help it stand out just a bit more.  A few Basic Black spatters and some white stars were all that was needed to finish the card off.

Let's see what Cathy has in store for us next! I guarantee you are going to love it!

Happy Stamping!
