Country Livin' Father's Day card....

Hi All
Today I just want to say Happy Father's Day to my amazing husband. He has been a great dad to both of our sons as well as to all our fur babies. For today's card I broke out Stampin' Up's watercolor paper, Tranquil Tide new 2017-2019 In Color ink and Stampin' Up's Country Livin' stamp set. I also used Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sentiment. I used Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz inks on the card as well as a bit of glue from the fine tip glue pen to make the windows look like glass that may not show up in the picture. I distressed the edge of the watercolor paper with Crumb Cake ink on a sponge. I chose burlap ribbon tied up with a tiny bit of the new copper trim. That copper trim is like ribbon but it can be shaped it's awesome. To finish the card I took two of the white perfect accent enamel dots and with a copper sharpie I colored them to match the copper ribbon. I have a confession the card base was to be just plain Tranquil Tide card stock but I accidentally set the corner of it in the Early Espresso ink pad I used for the sentiment so I just sent the rest of the edges in the ink pad and then I added a mat of Early Espresso cardstock to tie it all together. I think it came out great and my husband love it too. I'll have a list at the end of this update so all you have to do is click on the picture of the item you like and it will take you right to my online 24/7 webstore. I'd love to earn your business so please let me know if you have any questions or problems or just want a new 2017 catalog that just came out on June 1st. Just leave me a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I am entering this card in the "Let's Hear it for the boys" the TGIF C112 challenge. I love that group of designers. To see the others you can go to www. tgifchallenges.blogspot.com. I can't lie I don't enter the challenges always but when I do I hope that I win.

Well that's it for today. If your dad is still around give him a hug or a call and let him know that you love him. Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web. Take care and until next time Happy Stampin'.

Swirly Bird Boat....

Hi All,
Today I'm sharing the card I made for my awesome husband for our 41st wedding anniversary. I used Stampin' Up's Swirly Bird stamp set to make the sail boat and High Tide stamp set for the water & birds. I stamped the water in one of the new 2017-2019 In Colors of Tranquil Tide and I only inked up the stamp once and let it fade out as it went up to give the card the look of distance from the front of the card. I then put Tranquil Tide ink on a sponge dauber and lightly rub it across the water marks. I then used scrap cardstock to make a mask for the mountains and with another sponge dauber I used Dapper Denim ink. I used the wet dauber so that it would be darker at the top of the mask going lighter the closer I got to the top of the card.This made both the mountains & the sky. I then used the 1 3/8' circle punch in another piece of scrap cardstock and with a third sponge dauber in So Saffron I sponged the sun into the sky & with almost dry dauber I put a bit of the So Saffron into the water as a reflection. I stamped the boat base, the greeting, which is from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, & birds in Early Espresso. I stamped the sails on another scrap of cardstock in Lemon Lime Twist (another 2017-2019 In Color) & Dapper Denim. I then drew a mast using the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker & a ruler. I fussy cut the sails & put a dimensional to pop them up. I finished the card with a bit of Wink of Stella to the water so that it sparkled & shimmer when the card was moved. All this was done on Whisper White cardstock. Once I completed the picture I attached it to a Dapper Denim card base to complete the card. As an "Artist at Heart" I love how thanks to Stampin' Up stamps & just a bit of ink I'm able to basically paint a picture. I've added a list of products at the end of this post so that if my artwork inspires you to create a picture too you'll be able to get all the supplies at my online webstore. All you have to do is click on a picture to get to my webstore.

Swirly birds & bunnies.....

Hi All,
Today I have a sweet mother's day card to share. I made it using the Stampin Up Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlit dies. They come in a bundle at 10% through May 31st. I love this bundle as there are so many things you can do with it. For this card I wanted it to be a soft & pink so I chose Crumb cake cardstock for the card base with a layer of Pink Pirouette cardstock. I added a touch of crumb cake cardstock for the vertical swooshies (yep it's a technical stamping term) with just a hint of cucumber crush cardstock for the leaves. All the flowers where stamped on whisper white cardstock and then I used the thinlit dies to cut them out. I also used the Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny wishes stamp set for the sentiment and Gorgeous Grunge for the splotches on the card. I also used the Duet Banners punch for the sentiment. I chose to stamp the daisy style flowers in crumb cake ink and color them with daffodil delight water color pencils the swirly flowers are stamped in Pink Pirouette and Sweet Sugarplum inks. For the lines on the leaves I used cucumber crush ink on the cardstock. I think any mother would be happy to receive a card like this handmade by you. So I've place a product list at the end of this update so that you can just click on the picture and it will take you right to my 24/7 online store. Please remember to use my April Host Rewards code 39WDXKFU if your order is less than $150 if it's more than that you get the Host rewards. I'd love to earn your business so if you have any questions or want a set of catalogs please leave me a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Spring is here and so are the Easter Bunny Basket too...
I have just one other quick share I made this adorable bunny basket as my treat for all the gals who attended my March Up Up and Away all Occasions card class. The basket is made using the new Stampin' Up Window Shopping framelit dies and the bunny is from a bunch of different punches. It was a big hit with the gals especially since it was filled with chocolate eggs. If you live in the Buckeye AZ area and are interested in attending one of these card classes leave a comment below and I will email you with more information.

Well that's it for today. Thank you for stopping by my little corner of the web. Take care and until next time Happy Stampin'
