Inspirational Squad I believe in you dragon card

Hello everyone!  A lot has happened since the last post.  Stampin' Up! has begun a month-long sale for the 2025-2027 In Colors.  Head on over to my online store to see what products are included in the sale.  There are many you might not think of including some Paper Pumpkin refill kits!  You will find the direct link to that page here: 2025-2027 In Color Sale.  In addition, new products and additional discounts have been added to the Last Chance category in my online store.  You can find those items here: Last Chance

Now that we have all that completed, let's get on to our project for today.  I recently obtained the Inspiration Squad stamp set (of course, it's now on Last Chance at a discount for you!) and had to use it before it's no longer available.  I recently read the Empyrean book series and the little dragon in this set reminds me of the dragon from the books.  I imagined the little dragon in front of an arched stone wall surrounded by flowers.  This card is the end result and I do love how it turned out, don't you?

 To see the video tutorial on how to put this card together, fly on over to my YouTube channel.

Playful Ghosts treat box July 2024 Online Exclusives Sneak Peek

For my sneak peek of the July Online Exclusives collection, I’m sharing a project I made using Playful Ghosts and a die from the Greetings of the Season set.  When I first saw these dies, I knew I would have to make some treat boxes using them.  This is the first one I’ve made.  I love how it turned out and plan to make several more and have them ready for October so I’m not scrambling, like usual, at the last minute to get them finished. 😂 Each box will hold two fun size candy bars (I used Snickers).  You can watch the video replay of the live tutorial here.

Over the Moon Udderly fantastic

Today’s card uses one of my favorite sets from the annual catalog (I have quite a few!)  The set is called Over The Moon (149331).  For this card I started with a basic black card base cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored and folded in half at 4 1/4".  I took a piece of whisper white cardstock cut at 4" by 5 1/4" and ink blended with balmy blue and granny apple green ink.  I used makeup brushes I purchased from Amazon to achieve the effect.  I stamped the grass clumps in granny apple green ink, then stamped my remaining images in Momento tuxedo black ink.  My little cow was stamped on a scrap piece of whisper white, stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends markers, then fussy cut and added to the card with dimensionals.  Blends markers I used were dark lovely lipstick, light basic black, petal pink combo, dark smokey slate, light so saffron, colorless blender, dark soft suede and dark mango melody. 

For the inside of my card, I added more images from the same stamp set.  I inked the moon in so saffron ink, then colored with the blends markers.  I just love how this turned out.  I planned to put this in my husband's lunch pail just before he heads out for work, but as our 39th wedding anniversary is right around the corner, I might use it for that instead.

I hoped you've been inspired today.  If you are in the USA and would like to order to any products I've used (or anything else you might fancy), please click on the shopping cart.  I'd love to earn your business.  Until next time, make it a great day and happy stamping!
