Postcard Pals Bokeh card

I absolutely love the Postcard Pals (146701) stamp set.  It just makes me smile.  I borrowed this set from my friend and made my monthly thank you cards with it.  I started with a card base in Soft Sea Foam.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Wood Textures 6x6 paper stack (144177).  I then used a piece of Highland Heather cardstock.  I stamped my little postcard pal in Tuxedo Momento black ink, then masked him off prior to stamping one of the two images from the Bokeh stamp set (148113) in Soft Sea Foam stamped off once (aka second generation stamping).  I used my Stamperatus (146276) in order to get perfect stamp placement.  I then colored my image using Stampin’ Blends markers.  The sentiment is also from the Postcard Pals stamp set.  Every time I look at this card, I just can’t help but smile.  I hope it brightens your day as well, if only for a moment.

 My second card is done in Balmy Blue utilizing the same tools.  Thanks for stopping by my little blog today.  I hope I’ve inspired you to do something creative.  If you wish to purchase any of the supplies I used today, you can click on the shopping cart to the right.  It will take you directly to my online store.  I would love to earn your business.  Please leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you.  Thanks again, and have a crafty day.

Marbled Varied Vases

I love this stamp set and punch which was inspired by Mary Fish for her million dollar sales achievement.  The stamp set is called Varied Vases (146644) and has a coordinating punch (147040).  It can be purchased in a bundle (148381) and save you 10%.  Here is a card I created using it along with the marbled background stamp (144772).  I used blushing bride for the marbled background.  The vase features Mary’s signature tulip.  Flowers are stamped in Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Rich Razzleberry, and Mango Melody.  I cust a stitched oval diecut and mounted it on a scalloped oval from the Layering ovals framelits.  The ribbon behind the focal image is burlap ribbon.  I opted to leave the sentiment off and add it to the inside as I need a card.  This card design could be used for any occasion.

Simply the Best Seasonal Vase

Today’s card continues to feature the Vase Builder punch (147040) which coordinates with Mary Fish’s million dollar achiever Varied Vases stamp set (146644).  In addition, I’ve added the flowers from a new stamp set called In Every Season (146709) which features flowers for every month.  This set has several images which will work in the vases from the punch.  I punched the vase in Whisper White then stamped the pattern from Timeless Textures (140517) in Bermuda Bay and Touches of Texture (143251) in Daffodil Delight.  The flowers are colored with the Stampin’ Blends in Calypso Coral and the leaves in Old Olive.  I used the stitched oval die framelits (146828) to cut the oval.  The sentiment comes from the Varied Vases stamp set.  My Designer Series Paper is in Calypso Coral and is retired; However, you could use a background paper from the Subtles Designer Series Paper 6x6 paper stack (146966).
