Thank you~Blended Seasons

Hello Stampers!

Another glorious summer weekend has come and gone.  We had our county fair here in Sheridan County and it was a lot of fun!
Luckily I had created some cards ahead of time so I could enjoy the fair with my family.  Here is my project share for today.

Sharing another fabulous card created with the Color Your Seasons bundle. (Blended Seasons Stamp set and matching dies Stitched Seasons!)  August 1st this set is available to YOU, while supplies last!

I really like the leaves in this set, I was sad the Vintage leaves was retired but when I seen this beautiful leave was in this set, I was happy!  Fall is by far my favorite season.
I added color by using the Stampin' Blends, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, and Bronze.
The Card Stock used: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Soft Suede.

Thank you for joining me today!  Can you believe it's the LAST Monday in July?  Our summer is flying by!  If you need anything let me know!

Happy Stampin'!

Get Well Soon~Healing Hugs

Hello Stampers!

Distinktive stamps are becoming very popular and this new stamp set, Healing Hugs, available in the Annual Catalog, is a HUGE hit!

I used the new Lovely Lipstick InColor, and Granny Apple Green to create this beautiful card. 

I stamped the leaves out on a scratch piece of paper and cut out an extra one to add some dimension then added the New Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins. 
Quick and simple card!

Congrats! Baby card~

Hello Stampers!

I have a quick and simple card to share with you today.  I took part in the buy three get one free on the Designer Series Paper, (available all of July!)  This adorable card was created using the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.

I needed to create some baby cards and when I seen this paper, I knew what I needed to do!

I simply fussy cut out the cute animals while watching one of my favorite TV shows, Counting Cars! They are so many to choose from I cut up a whole page! 

Then decided which one I wanted to use as a background.  There are so many to choose from!  The card base I went with is Shaded Spruce, I just adore this beautiful rich color!  Don't you?
Thoughtful Banners stamp set and Duet Banner Punch were also used.   This was a fun card to make.  You don't even need the stamps, if you have the patients to cut out the images, you can create a fun card!

Thank you for joining me today!

You're the friend everyone wishes they had~New Blended Seasons stamp set

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you!  We had another round of bad storms this weekend, but it didn't cut out the power this time, however it did cause my family and myself to spend time in our basement, so while I was 'stuck' I thought I would get some stamping done!  I ended up setting up a Stamp Class for my children.  How fun!
Here is one of my projects.

I used the NEW stamp set Blended Season, available August 1st to order!  You are going to love the possibilities with this stamp set!

Look at everything you get!!  So cool!  This set is not going to be available in catalogs it is only going to be offered online.  If you are interested in ordering this bundle, let me know!  I can help you with that!

I colored it with the Stampin' Bends.  Rich Razzleberry, Pineapple Punch, Old Olive, Granny Apple and Flirty Flamingo.  These markers make coloring so simple, they just glide on the color.  I also added Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add a little sparkle!  Love this stuff!!

Thank you for joining me today!

RETIRED SET SATURDAY-For Father

Hello Stampers!
Retired Set Saturday is here.
There has been so many wonderful stamp sets created by Stampin' Up! When they retire it is sad because it seems like we don't use them anymore, I am going to change that!
Today I am showcasing a set called, For Father.

I used the wood theme for the background.  I choose to add color by using the Watercolor pencils to add color but never 'painted' them. I liked how the soft color looked, I did use the Stampin' Write marker in Real Red to color the apples.

Fussy cut around the stamped image then popped it up on dimensionals.  I really like how it turned out.  I also heat embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment.

Accented Blooms~Heat embossed card

Hello Stampers!
Don't you just love the full bloom of summer?  After going around town and helping people who need help even through the rough storm that we had on July 9th, even the hail couldn't destroy all the beautiful flowers that are in bloom.
That inspired me to create this card. 

I hadn't used heat embossing for awhile and thought I would try it for this card.  I really like how it turned out.

Stampin' Up! has the new 2018-2020  In-Color embossing powder!  The colors are so pretty. Pineapple Punch is so bright and the photo does not do it justice.  I embossed the flowers in Black.  Added color with the new Stampin' Blends Markers.  Used the Tailored Tag punch to cut out the 'Hello' then popped it up on Dimensionals.

Thank you for joining me today!

Catalog inspiration!~There's so much to LOVE about you

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you!  Sorry I missed Friday's post.  We had a horrible storm here in NE Montana and we were without power for a few days and major town pick up has been going on.  I took a little break from cutting up tree branches and cleaning up debris to do some stamping.  I simply took the wonderful Stampin' Up! catalog out and picked out a beautiful card from the book to get inspiration.

This is what I came up with.

 I added Wink of Stella to the flowers to add a little shimmer.  The stamp set is Abstract Impressions and the beautiful paper is Garden Impressions 6x6 paper pack.  I also cut an oval from the stitched ovals with the Big Shot.

Here is the catalog page.  There are so many beautiful ideas, that is why a catalog is not just to see all the products Stampin' Up! has to offer, it for inspiration!

Have you checked out the fabulous sale Stampin' Up! has going on for the month of July?  You have got to check this out!  Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Birthday to the Leader of the Pack!

Hello Stampers!

I have a masculine card to share with you today. 
Using the stamp set, One Wild Ride I created this birthday card.

This is a simple layout you could use with any combo of colors. 
Colors I chose to use are Basic Gray and Very Vanilla.   The Designer Series Paper, Color Me Autumn is retired.

Images stamped in Black Memento ink.  Then I popped up the layers with Dimensionals.
The brads were some I had picked up from Michaels!  I love that store.

Live, Laugh, Love~

Hello Stampers!

Don't you just love summer when the weather is just right and you can go outside without getting ate up by mosquitoes? 
With that in mind I used Colorful Seasons photopolymer stamp set to create this project.

I also used the matching Thinlits, Seasonal Layers.  I love the chair die!  I used the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to attach it.
I cut it out in Crumb Cake then used the Hardwood stamp, stamped in Soft Suede.  It gives it a pretty wood look.

Sentiment used is from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set stamped in Black Memento Ink.  Flowers stamped in Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink.  The beautiful ribbon is from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.

It's a beautiful day~ Happy Independence Day America!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Independence Day America! 
I was having so much fun with my Coffee Cup Framelits I had to create a card for the 4th of July!

Everytime I go to grab me a coffee at our little coffee cafe' they put some kind of sweet treat on it, this time they had red, white and blue M&M's!  I loved it, so it put me in the mood to create something patriotic with the Coffee Cafe' stamp and Framelits!

I used the new BEAUTIFUL In-Colors, Blueberry Bushel and Lovely Lipstick!  Aren't they gorgeous? 

I used matching DSP 6x6" stack.  I love this paper, so pretty and the designs are so fresh and fun!  The sentiment is from the Love What you Do stamp set.

I used Wink of Stella to add some pretty sparkle to the whipped topping and the grip of the cup.  The smaller cup I popped up on dimensionals to make it stand out a little bit more. 
The Blueberry Bushel card stock was also ran through the Big Shot using the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I love how this card turned out!  Now, it's time to go me a Latte'!  Happy day my friends!

Thank you for joining me today!

Enjoying some summer time!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you.  Can you believe it is July already?  WOW!  Our summer is flying by!

Two great sets were used to create this 'enjoying summer' card!

Pocket of Sunshine and Pocket Framelits, along with one of my favorite Framelits, Coffee Cups Framelits.

The glasses were heat embossed with Gold embossing powder, along with the sentiment.
I love my ice Coffee in the summer and of course wearing my shades! 

Happy July to you!!
