Mixed Florals - Happy Mother's Day

Hello Stampers,

I hope all the mother's had a great day yesterday. Last week, my mojo had a few problems inspiring the creative side of the brain, but I did manage to get a Mother's Day card made just in time for my mom.

I used the Mixed Floral Bundle, stamping one of the flower images onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then die-cutting it out before coloring it using Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. Next, I took a layer of Balmy Blue Cardstock die-cut the middle using the Everyday Arches Dies, then used the retired Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I glued the floral image to the inside bottom of the arch then allowed it to peep outside of it before attaching a piece of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP behind it, this was then glued to a Balmy Blue Cardstock base. I used a sentiment from the retired All Holidays Stamp Set, then fussy cut around it before adding Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up from the card. Lastly, I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish the card.

Darling Dinos - Hope Your Birthday is Dino-mite

Hello Stampers,

I can't believe that I haven't made a card yet with the Darling Dinos bundle yet. I thought they were so cute, so I really wanted to make a card using some primary colors with the set using a sketch I used recently.

I started by stamping one of the dinos, string & balloon onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, then coloring the images Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Sprucein using  & what was supposed to be Real Red was actually Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. Next, I stamped the hat using the same ink then coloring it in using the 3 colors above along with Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, die-cut it then layered the image onto Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. On the Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce & Real Red Cardstocks I used the same color of inks to add the hat & balloon to each of them, before adding them to a Blueberry Bushel Cardstock base. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment from the set using the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad, fussy cut the banner ends & then added Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the sentiment up.

Sweet Jar - Sending A Little Sweetness Your Way

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by another old sketch, this time by Dee Slater with a few sneak peeks of things that are coming in just 5 more days as Online Exclusives.

I started this card with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Pretty In Pink Cardstock. I used 2 strips of a new DSP called Celebratory Sips, then for the middle I used an old In Color that is coming back as part of the new 2025-2027 In Colors called Strawberry Slush, I loved this color the first time it came out, so happy they are bringing back an old favorite now with the yearly In Colors. I somehow missed that Dazzling Droplets Stamp retired, but it is the background I used with Strawberry Slush Ink as an added texture to the cardstock. I used the Sweet Jar bundle to stamp the jar parts & the cookies onto Basic White Cardstock using Gray Granite, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie Ink Pads, I used the Pool Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack & the Color Lifter to add just a hint of color & then added Wink Of Stella to add a bit of shininess to make it look a bit of glass. For the sentiment, I used the Nested Essentials Dies to die cut a rectangle for my sentiment which I stamped using Pretty In Pink & Strawberry Slush Ink Pads, then popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. As a final touch I added a Drusy Embellishment to the handle part of the jar.

So Sincere - So Very Proud Of You

Hello Stampers,

I came across an old sketch yesterday that was made by an online friend that passed last year & thought I'd make a card using it.

I started this card with a retiring Wild Wheat Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Lost Lagoon Cardstock that I embossed using the So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I cut 3 strips of Everyday Happiness DSP 1 1/4"x 4, 4.5 & 5". I punched a circle using Basic White Cardstock, then stamped a sentiment from the retiring So Sincere Stamp Set using the retiring Wild Wheat Ink Pad. I stamped the flower & leaves from the Hearts Of Elegance Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock using Lost Lagoon & Gray Granite Ink Pads then die-cut them using the dies. Lastly, I added a few retired 2023-25 In Color Dots to finish the card.
