Beautiful Butterflies - I'm So Glad We're Friends

Hello stampers,

Today's card was inspired by the first Spring Creativate pre-challenge. It's another card that helps to showcase our DSP with little effort.

I started the card with a Basic White Cardstock base, then used the Everyday Skies DSP as the fold back layer. The sentiment is from the Mixed Labels Stamp Set, stamping directly onto the base of the card with Memento Black Ink. The Basic White Cardstock strip is tucked behind the DSP then folded over with a fussy cut banner end. I used the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder/Dies to die cut the butterfly with Azure Afternoon Cardstock & the body with Basic Black Cardstock. Lastly, I added a few Rainbow Dots to finish the card.

Everyday Details - Hello

Hello stampers,

I finally have gotten around to seeing the retiring list & I've taken a pretty big hit, YIKES! I'll be sharing products that will be retiring in a lot of my cards until the new catalog comes out & when I get a few new things ordered. Today's card was inspired by a recent sketch from Jackie Bolhuis.

I started with a circle using the 2 3/8" Circle Punch with Basic White Cardstock, then used the retiring Everyday Details Stamp Set to stamp the cup using Memento Black Ink. I colored this in using Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia & Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, along with the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker. I used a piece of the Lovely Garden DSP, layered it on top of a Basic Black Cardstock layer then added the circle & cut off the edge, before adding it to a Boho Blue Cardstock (retiring) base. I used a sentiment from the retiring Unbounded Love Stamp Bundle, stamping it with Memento Black Ink then die-cut it using the dies. I finished the card by using the retired Elegant Faceted Gems.

Mixed Florals - Knowing You Brings Joy To My Heart

Hello stampers,

It's the middle of the week & I'm getting ready to find out what is in store for me with radiation today & will get my 1st tattoo's ever, wish they could be something pretty like a dragonfly instead of just dots though.

Today's card features the Online Exclusive Mixed Florals Bundle. I started by stamping the smaller floral image onto Basic White Cardstock & colored it in using the DSP as inspiration with Daffodil Delight, Boho Blue, Pecan Pie & Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I used a piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP & die-cut it using the Everyday Arches Dies, then stamped a sentiment from the So Sincere Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink. I chose to stamp 1 ladybug directly to the arch background, stamped another onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock, coloring both in with Real Red Stampin' Blends Combo Pack & die-cutting just the one using the Mixed Floral Dies. For the background, I used a piece of Boho Blue Cardstock (I'm going to miss this color, when my stock runs out) & used the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder to emboss it before adding it to a Basic White Cardstock base. Lastly, I added a few Iridescent Foil Gems to finish the card.

Inspiring Snapdragons - Inspired By You

Hello stampers,

Today's card was inspired by the current Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge. Looking at the inspiration picture brought me back to living in Texas, while I never took pictures with the Blue Bonnets the upper right picture inspired me the most.

I chose to use the Inspiring Snapdragons Stamp Set & the coordinating dies to make my "bluebonnets"  from Basic White Cardstock that I then colored using Blueberry Bushel & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. Next, I used a Basic White Cardstock layer used Blending Brushes to add color using Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon, & Granny Apple Green Ink Pads. For the dragonflies, I used the Basic Black & Brights Stampin' Write Markers directly to the stamp & then used Wink Of Stella to add a bit of glimmer to the wings. I used a sentiment from the stamp set with the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad to the bottom of this layer. I added this to a layer of Granny Apple Green Cardstock & Blueberry Bushel Cardstock base.
