Well Written Lasting Lily Jar welcome

My project for you today features the Lasting Lily Sale-a-Bration free stamp set.  This set is available with a $100 spend through March 31, 2019.  It is one of Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive distinktive stamp sets.  It has amazing detail and will make beautiful cards for any occasion making it very versatile.  I started with a card base in Berry Burst to that I added a layer of Very Vanilla which was stamped with the Crackle Paint background stamp in various spots.  To achieve this look I inked up the background stamp in gray granite, then gently set my paper over the top and pressed with my fingers in various spots to ink sporadically across the cardstock.  We saw this technique during Onstage in Orlando last November.  I then stamped the large and small lilies in Daffodil Delight, Berry Burst and Flirty Flamingo, then fussy cut them out.  During the month of March 2019 you can order lily framelits which will do this work easier for you.  I also stamped the both leaves in Granny Apple Green.  The jar from Jar of Love is stamped on vellum cardstock with Momento black ink then cut with the Everyday Jar framelits.  The ribbon is Flirty Flamingo and part of the All My Love Ribbon combo which comes with the 1/8” Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick stitched edge ribbon.  Both ribbons are beautiful.  I die cut the welcome using the Well Written framelits which are a must have for card making.  This is a mega framelit set and can be purchased with the Well Said stamp set in a bundle for a savings of 10%.  To the top of the die cut I added a layer of Wink of Stella for some shimmer, then topped that with a layer of the fine tip glue pen.  Adding the fine tip glue gives a layer of shine without any tackiness making your die cut look like an expoxy element.

For the inside of the card I used the Make a Difference stamp set to stamp the to, Dear Friend and the flowers at the bottom.  The logo is from a retired set which was only available to demonstrators.

I made this card to welcome a new member to my team.  I hope you’ve enjoyed this project today and that it inspires you to do something creative today.  If you would like to order any of the products I’ve used today, you can do so at teresaharper.stampinup.net or click on the shopping cart in the upper right.  If you’re interested in joining my team, just go to my website and click on Join the Fun or contact me today.  Now is a great time to join as it’s Sale-a-Bration and you get $175 worth of product for $99 with free shipping or you can choose to pay $129, receive $175 in free product of your choosing with free shipping and get an Stampin’ Up!

Thinking of you Country Floral chameleon card

Oh my gosh I really love the stamp sets that came in the January and February Paper Pumpkin boxes!    I combined the chameleon and bird from the January set with the teacup from the February kit, to come up with the focal image for this card.  First I stamped the chameleon, then masked it off and stamped the tea cup image over the top.  I used my Stamperatus to accomplish this so I could rest amp if necessary to avoid a halo effect from the mask.  I then stamped the little bird to look like he is standing on the succulent.  I colored the images with my Stampin’ Blends.  I cut the image out using the rectangle stitched framelit dies.  I mounted that on a piece of mint macaron which I also cut using the rectangle stitched dies.  I then cut a piece of watercolor paper, lightly misted it with water and ran it through the big shot with the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions folder.  The depth and dimension is amazing and it’s free through March 31, 2019, with a $50 order! I colored it with my aqua painter using mint macaron for the leaves and pool party and Flirty Flamingo for the flowers.  This is layered on a Flirty flamingo card base.  The sentiment is from By the Bay which is a Sale-a-Bration free item you can use when you spend $50

 The inside card is stamped with an image from Tea Together and the envelope image and sentiment is from the same two Paper Pumpkin stamp sets.

Stampin’ Blend colors I used are Mint Macaron light and dark, Flirty Flamingo light and dark, Pool Party light and dark, Crumb Cake light, Soft Suede dark, Calypso Coral light, Smokey Slate light, color lifter, Call Me Clover light.  I hope this project has inspired you as I really enjoyed making this one and I love how it turned out.  If you want to purchase any of the items I’ve used today, head on over to my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.
