Sending Smiles - Floral Celebration

Oh my, it's been another few months since I've been here.  I hope you are all staying safe and healthy.  I'm not really enjoying this "new normal" so much, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  It's been a while since I've taken time to be crafty, but I'm finally getting back to it.  

I thought I would share this fun card I made using the new Close to My Heart August Stamp of the Month called “Floral Celebration”.  I made this card for a monthly stamp of the month swap I participate in when I’m able to.  I haven't made a Triple Layer card in a while.  This was a great stamp set for it, so many cute floral images and the two sentiments are pretty perfect.    

Aren't those images fun?  They make for a great random stamped background.  This card was made using only cardstock, inks and a few sparkles.  You know how I love sparkles!  

Here are the supplies I used to make this card:

Inks: Black, Glacier, Fern, Candy Apple, Nectarine & Lemonade

Cardstock: Candy Apple, White Daisy

Accessories:  Clear Sparkles, Bitty Sparkles

For some reason I always like to take a photo of all of the cards together before I pop them in the mail.  A sense of accomplishment, I suppose.  :)  You can see the sparkles a little bit better in this photo.

 

Here's a look at the entire stamp set.  I'm looking forward to designing a few more cards with it. 

"Floral Celebration" is available through 8/31/20.  Get it HERE while you can.  And if you'd like to order a few extra items, you can purchase this stamp set for only $5 with a minimum order of $50 .  That's a savings of $13.95.  What a deal!  You can view the digital copy of the July/August Idea Book by clicking the link here or on the sidebar of this blog.  You'll also find the current Annual catalog in the same spot.  

Let me know if I can answer any questions, my info is in the sidebar.  Thank you for stopping by! 

You are O-fish-ally Awesome!

Long time no see.  A very long time indeed.  I thought I would post a cute card I made using the new April Stamp of the Month, “O-fish-ally Awesome”.

I made this card for a monthly stamp of the month swap I participate in when I’m able to.  I’ve seen so many cute ideas with this set from other consultants.  Here is my version.  

Those that know me, know I love to fussy cut, and you can see I did quite a bit of fussy cutting on this card.  I used our newer TriBlend markers (from Spectrum Noir) to color all of the images.  I also used our Multi Square Window Thin Cuts to add some extra interest.  The polka dot background paper is from the new Mix-In Paper Packet.  And it's hard for me to do a card without some sort of bling, so of course I've added a few random sparkles.  

Here's a look at the entire stamp set.  Isn't it fun.  You can do a search on Pinterest and you'll see some other really fun artwork.

"O-fish-ally Awesome" is available through 4/30/20.  Get it HERE while you can.  And if you'd like to order a few extra items (the April May Idea Book is packed with so many fun things), you can purchase this stamp set for only $5 with a minimum order of $50 .  That's a savings of $13.95.  What a deal!
