Have Lemons, Make Lemonade (Strawberry Lemonade?)

 Hello! It's strawberry season here in the Copper Country where we live. Our nephew made the most delicious strawberry lemonade on July 4th for our picnic...I just cannot quit thinking about it! 

My lemon card for today features Stamp Simply's Fruit stamp set, along with their Fruit Sentiment stamp set. 

I stamped the lemon with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then masked it off and stamped a second time. After Copic coloring the lemons, I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. 

The stamped panel was then die cut with Stitched Flat Ovals with an extra panel cut to "frame" out the image panel.

The base of the card is covered with Echo Park paper from my stash. I rounded the corners with a corner round punch for extra interest.

At this point I covered the lemons with Ranger Glossy Accent.

Sing Unto Him a New Song

Hi there! Here with a card that features Stamp Simply's God Will Take Care of You stamp and die sets. Love the sweet birds in the set along with the pretty branch, sentiments, and Bible verse!

Also loving Pink Monarch Prints Blue French Toile decorator paper. I'm not sure on the current availability. I was not able to find it on their Etsy site.

The bird and branch from the God Will Take Care of You set are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic Sketch markers before die cutting with the matching dies.

The fishtail banner behind the ovals is die cut with Stamp Simply's Fishtail Sentiment Banner dies.

This card is a bit smaller than the typical A2 size.

Dahlia Miss You

I have a quick and easy card for you today featuring one of Stamp Simply's Products of the Week...Delightful Dahlias. 

Such a pretty trio of blooms, easy to color and so sharp looking when die cut with the matching die! 

 I stamped the dahlia image onto white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copic Sketch markers. The blooms were then die cut with the Dahlia steel die and popped up on an oval die cut. 

The sentiment was stamped directly onto the oval with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

The pretty decorator paper here is Craft Consortium's Ink Drop Sunset papers.

Happy 250 Years, USA!

 

Hello! Celebrating our United States of America's 250th Birthday today with a patriotic shaker card! This card is a case of the very first shaker card that I ever made, which I will include on the post below.

My card features Stamp Simply's Patriotic Background stamp set, where I used one of the sentiments that are included in the set. 

The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, and die cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Sentiment Banner die. The background of the card uses traditional colors, with the blue panel crimped.

The star shaped shaker was created with Spellbinder's Stars Five Die set, which is retired. The mixture of beads and sequins within the shaker add a party touch, both visually and audibly.

A simple design, yet fun to create.

Here's the first shaker that I mentioned above. I was so pleased with the outcome that I wanted to make it once again. This sentiment is from Stamp Simply's Patriotic Sentiment stamp set.  You can read more about this card HERE.

Product of the Week: Caring Coneflower and Sunflower Season

 This week's Stamp Simply Product of the Week includes their Caring Coneflower stamp and die sets. This set are my absolute floral favorites at Stamp Simply, with the Sunflower Season stamps and dies following close behind. Both are so lovely!

I made a simple card with a pieced background this week. Two shades of pink stripes along with white accents.

The coneflower was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic Sketch markers before die cutting with the Caring Coneflower die. The coneflower sentiment was stamped with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink, then die cut with the die from the Caring Coneflower die set. Fun!

A Godly Man

I'm back after a trip away to relatives; so glad to be home and able to create again! I wanted to make a Father's Day card for my dear dad who is such a spiritual example to all of us.

This is my favorite masculine stamp set and die from Stamp Simply: A Godly Man stamp set and matching A Godly Man's Buck steel die.  Both can be purchased as a bundle, or individually.

This card was quick to put together. I began with a background of lush green decorator paper: Craft Consortium's Ink Drop Organic. It's layered over a black cardstock base.

The buck was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then die cut with the matching die. The Proverbs Bible verse from A Godly Man stamp set was also stamped with the Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then die cut with Spellbinder Classic Oval dies.

Quick and easy to mail, if needed.

Proverbs 31 Woman

Hello! With thoughts of Mother's Day this weekend, I've made up a card that features Stamp Simply's Mini Scripty Backgrounds Set One clear stamp set that includes a portion of Proverbs 31. 

As mentioned on the Stamp Simply catalog site: "These stamps were designed as small background stamps to add a vintage flair to your projects and as such some have irregular edges, some words only partially printed, a tattered look in areas, etc, to give the appearance of old, torn papers or pages."

I stamped the verses directly onto the designer paper with Versamark ink, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

The background paper is Craft Consortium's Bloom and Wild decorator paper. The florals in the pad are so beautiful. 

The butterfly die is Sizzix Tim Holtz Butterfly Brushtrokes die. I die cut the butterfly from watercolor cardstock, then colored it with Kuretake Zig Brush Markers. 

The border trim is May Art's  3/8" Mini Scroll Trim, also available at Stamp Simply.
