Everything is Rosy meets Floral Essence

Today’s project features the beautiful products from the Everything is Rosy product medley, available only through May 31, 2019, so hurry and get your products today before they’re gone.  They are so pretty and feature the colors of melon mambo, night of navy, and rose gold foiling.    Check on the information at my online store, product code is 150059.  I used the 6x6 rose gold foiled designer series paper, the rose gold foil 6x6 foil sheets, included dies and label sheet from the bundle on this card.  You get so much product and it makes such beautiful cards.  I also used the brand new Floral Essence stamp set (149450) which will be available beginning June 4, 2019, when the new annual catalog launches.  The sentiment comes from Butterfly Gala (148580) which is available now.   I stamped the flowers in night of navy and melon mambo with flower centers of crushed curry.  The leaves are stamped in soft sea foam and punched with the leaf punch (144667) which is also available now.  The Floral Essence stamp set can also be purchased in a bundle with the perennial flower punch for a savings of 10% when the catalog launches.  I used a standard card base in thick whisper white, then added a 3 1/4" x 5 1/2 piece of night of navy cardstock with a 3x5 1/2 piece of the Everything is Rosy designer series paper.  I attached the rose gold foil diecut to each side of the night of navy cardstock .  I also made a matching insert and envelope to complete the ensemble.  

I hope I've inspired you to stamp something today.  If you don't already have the Everything is Rosy product medley, please check it at my online store by clicking the shopping cart in the upper right.  Be sure to get yours before it disappears on May 31 2019.

Amazingly Incredible like you sneak peak

Today’s project features the stamp set Incredible Like You which is retiring at the end of month.  It uses the 2019-2021 in colors of seaside mist, rococco rose and pretty peacock ink stamped on whisper white cardstock.  Then mounted on a card base of seaside mist.  All that’s needed for this #simplestamping card is stamps, ink and paper.

Sentiment is stamped in Momento tuxedo black ink.  Thank you for taking time from your busy day to stop by my blog.  If you would like to purchase Incredible Like You (148708) before it retires, please click on the shopping cart it will take directly to my online store.  

Please leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you.  Have a fabulous day and happy stamping!

Golden Afternoon sympathy card

Today’s project features the Golden Afternoon stamp set (148772) along with a Stampin’ Blends watercolor wash technique.  I love how it turned out.  In order to achieve this effect, start with a ziplock gallon bag.  Place a piece of cardstock underneath the bag so you can see the general area you need to color. Then scribble different colors across the area being careful not to overlap your colors to prevent transferring the previous color onto the marker.  I used night of navy, flirty flamingo, pumpkin pie, mango melody, granny apple green and crumb cake Stampin’ Blends.  Once you have your colors on the bag, wet the bag with a spritzer (126185) filled with alcohol.  Then place a piece of glossy cardstock (144240) face down onto the wet bag to transfer the color to the cardstock.  Press and rub the back of the cardstock gently for a few seconds, then lift and set aside to dry.  Each card will be unique.  I then stamped the beautiful tree from Golden Afternoon and the birds in Stazon black ink (101406) using my Stamperatus (146276) to prevent slipping on the glossy cardstock as it can be a bit tricky to stamp on with the slick surface when you use a clear block.  In order for my sentiment to stand out a bit, I stamped it with Versamark ink (102283) and then added copper embossing powder (141636), then heat set the powder.  Be sure to use an embossing buddy (103083) beforehand to prevent stray embossing powder from sticking where you don’t want it.

To finish off this card, I mounted the focal panel on a piece of basic black and then onto a card base of mango melody.

I hope I’ve inspired you to try this technique.  Thanks for taking time from your busy day to stop by my blog.  Please leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you.  If you would like to purchase any of the supplies I’ve used today, please click on the shopping cart it will take you directly to my online store.

Hope you have a fabulous day and happy stamping.

Tea Together thanks a bunch

For today's project, I combined  new stamp sets, Tea Together (148779) Beautiful Bouquet (143666) and Colorful Seasons (143726) with an older retired stamp set, Basket of Wishes.  In doing so, it shows the versatility of stamp sets and how they can be utilized to inspire you to bring out and dust off some of the sets you love.  Look around and see what sets you have that you could use for this same technique.  The sentiment and the black flower centers come from Beautiful Bouquet, the tea cup from Tea Together, the cherry blossom flowers from Colorful Seasons and the succulents from Basket of Wishes.  Look around and see what you have, then dust it off and get creating.  I started with the succulents on this card, then used a mask to mask them off prior to stamping the tea cup.  This gives the illusion that it's one stamp and the succulents are sitting inside the cup.  I then stamped the tea cup.  I stamped a tea cup onto a post it note then cut out of the center of tea cup to mask off the outside of tea cup to place my cherry blossoms and black flower centers on the cup and stay inside the cup image. I colored the handle, base of the tea cup and plate using my Stampin' Blends in light and dark flirty flamingo which can be purchased either separately or in a combo (147278).  I colored the succulents using the light and dark mint macaron blends (147283) along with the light flirty flamingo.  The focal panel was cut using a Rectangle Stitched framelit (148551) and mounted a panel of Wood Texture designer series paper (144177) which was also cut with the largest rectangle from the die set.  These were mounted on a card base of tranquil tide.  I love how this turned out. 

For the inside of this card, I stamped my sentiment in soft suede and the branch image is actually two stamps which make the cherry blossom branch.   All of these images come from Colorful Seasons. 

The photo below shows my mask for the inside of the tea cup, although this was a project I made for St. Patrick's Day.  But it gives you the same technique.
