Splendid Thoughts FMS# 544 – Sketch Challenge

Every Wednesday morning at 9am(-ish) Pacific Time I craft LIVE on FB and You Tube. If you didn’t catch my video this morning you can see the card I created below. It was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch (FMS544)

This card was created with the Splendid Thoughts Bundle. I used Pool Party and Light Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends to colour the greenery and to create the background layer I used the Splendid Day DSP. I used Basic Gray ink to stamp the greenery outlines and the sentiment. There is even a subtle vellum die cut leaf in the background.

I love the sentiments in this stamp set. I chose the ‘Let’s Celebrate’ sentiment since it is versatile. I can now use this card for a birthday, wedding or other celebration.

You can see exactly how I created this card in this video replay. All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below.

You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Summer Sale-a-Bration 2022 – Perfect Pomegranate card

It’s the BEST time of year to shop at Stampin’ Up! – SALE-a-bration!!! For every $60CAD you spend you can earn FREE SAB items!

Today’s card was created using the Perfect Pomegranate HOST stamp set (FREE with a $375CAD party or personal purchase). It was also inspired by the TGIF Challenge (#tgifc376)

I used Sweet Sorbet and Crushed Curry inks to create these vibrant Pomegranate flowers. Then I blended the colour using a Blender Pen, which softened the image and brought out more of the orange in Sweet Sorbet.

To add a little interest to the background I also used clear embossing powder on the pomegranate seeds – hard to see in my photos, but beautiful in person.

Stampin’ Up! has also created a few samples in the SAB brochure using the Perfect Pomegranate stamp set.

To see all the details of how I created this card, check out this video. You will also find a full supply list below.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 392 – Sketch Challenge

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a versatile Sketch Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

I used a wide range of pinks to create this card. Blushing Bride cardstock, Melon Mambo Ink, Polished Pink Opal Rounds, and Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon. Not to mention the Flirty Flamingo blooms cut fromt he Hues of Happiness DSP. The stamp set I used for the sentiment was Happiness Abounds from the brand new 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

To add some interest to the background of this card I applied Melon Mambo Ink in a small circular motion using a Blending Brush – then I Picked up some Melon Mambo Ink with a Water Paper and splattered it across the embossed and inked background piece. The ribbon and opals add just the right amount of sparkle to the painted blooms.

All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below, you can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – June 2022

It’s the 14th of the month – time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This one features all new product from the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalogue!!  Hop around see all the amazing cards created by our team members!  Leave a little love and then come back to see us again on the 14th next month!

I created this card using leftover paper strips in all the blues (Pool Party, Night of Navy, Orchid Oasis, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Tahitian Tide) and the Adventurous Journey stamp set – one of my favourites from the new catalogue since I love kayaking.

Once the paper strips were glued to the card front I used Versamark to stamp the rings and lily pads so that it would “match” all the shades of blue. I used stamped off Tahitian Tide Ink to create the rings on the Basic White layer.

Please leave a comment below and make sure to follow my blog for lots more great inspiration!

Live in Canada, don’t have a demonstrator? Contact me to get a catalogue or find out why right now is the best time to join our team.
