Gallery Blooms - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
I haven't done a fun fold card in quite a while, so decided I would make one for today's post using various products from the Beautiful Gallery suite. I really like this peek-a-boo type of fun fold, the only bad thing is if you can't write small, like me, then you don't have a lot of space to write where it won't show on the sides. Afterthought, would have been to make the focal image a bit wider. LOL!

Starting with a Basic White Cardstock base, that I cut down to make multiple parts I added 2 strips of Peach Pie Cardstock that I had embossed using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder then attached those pieces to the 2 smaller portions of the card. I then used the middle part for the focal point stamping the large floral bloom from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set using the Memento Black Ink Pad, then colored it in using Peach Pie, Calypso Coral & Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I added a sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set using tCalypso Coral Ink Padhe , before adding a Calypso Coral Cardstock layer. I made sure that the floating bottom piece was lined up with the bottom of the base before attaching the focal image. Lastly, I added a few Party Dots to finish the card.

MMS061625 - Thankful Garden

Hello Stampers,
I hope your week is off to a good start, mine was a little bumpy since I had to go in for a crown & the nitrous didn't work, luckily it was a smaller tooth & didn't take too long but I did leave my indent markings on the chair. LOL! Today's card was inspired by this week's Mystery Monday Stamping tutorial by Sharon Armstrong.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock base, followed by a Basic Black Cardstock layer & another Basic White Cardstock layer before adding the Basic Black Cardstock stripes. The last stripe I added a sentiment from the Throughout The Year Stamp Set, embossing it with VersaMark & the white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powder trio. Next, I took a blank piece of Basic White Cardstock & stamped one of the florals from the Thankful Garden Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink, then coloring it in using Petunia Pop & Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, die cut it with the Thankful Garden Dies & used Stampin' Dimensionals before adding it to the card. Lastly, I used the retired 2024-26 Shimmer Gems to finish the card.

Sharing Loving Crafting - Brighten Your Day

Hello Stampers,
While scouring through Pinterest yesterday I found a sketch that I wanted to try, which comes from Tamara Bertram.

For this card, I chose Blackberry Bliss, Berry Burst & Bubble Bath Cardstocks, along with Celebratory Sips DSP. I used the Sharing Loving Crafting Stamp Set for the sentiment using Blackberry Bliss Ink & stamped it onto Basic White Cardstock, then added some  & Stampin' Dimensionals before adding it to the card. Lastly, I added a few Rainbow Dots to finish the card.

Sunrise Sailing - Happy Retirement

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by the color & theme challenge from The Card Concept. I was inspired by the beachy colors, so used a recent Online Exclusive stamp set.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock for the focal image using the Sunrise Sailing Stamp Set with Memento Black & Blueberry Bushel Ink Pads, then colored in the ship part with Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends. I used the retired Boho Blue Ink Pad with a Blending Brush to color in the water before adding this image to a layer of Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. Next, I took a piece of Boho Blue DSP from the retired 2023-2025 In Colors DSP, added it to a Pecan Pie Cardstock base, then attached the focal image. I used a sentiment from the set using the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad then cut both sides at an angle which just happened to be the width of the DSP. Lastly, I added a few retired Solid Gems to finish the card.
