More Valentine cards

Scrap-napped from SU demo Mary Brown.  This card could really have any wording (birthday, thank you, you're fantastic) but I am putting it here because I love the spring colors!  It also uses a couple great products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog that was just released (where you can pick one item for every $50 your spend in other SU products).  A great deal!

Fresh Vintage stamp set (SAB), Perfect Words stamp set (hostess set)
Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party card stock
Luck Limeade sheer ribbon (SAB - set comes with Calypso Coral sheer ribbon and some cute brads too!)
Poppy Parade Classic ink
Polka dot texture plate (from the Backgrounds 1 Sizzix collection)
Antique Brass brads
Corner punch




This FANTASTIC card comes from SU demo Julie Marshall.  So pretty and a bit Victorian.   I love it!

-BTW, this was my 1st ever attempt with a stamp wheel.  I inherited them from my sister but didn't try it until now.  I turns out a very nice background!-

Perfect Words, Creative Elements stamp sets, Music Notes stamp wheel
Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Bashful Blue, and Marina Mist card stock
Beau Chateau DSP
Hearts collection framelits

Gettin' Beachy

School is back in session, virtally, of course and I want to go to the beach.  So.... Two challenge cards to post today. The first card is for CAS on Friday (Nature) (which I missed the linkup to), The Card Concept , Just Add Ink , Time Out Challenge and Sunday Stamps (which I ALSO missed the linkup to, grrrrr). I did this card twice, well actually 3 times, but twice that I liked :).  The card on the right was first.  I stamped Hero Arts Layering Waves on Stratmore Bristol watercolor paper with Stampin' Up ink: Seashore Spray, Misty Moonlight and Sahara Sand.  Then I brushed the sky with Soft Sky, Baja Breeze, Fresh Fig and Pale Plum.  I stamped the sentiments in Versamark and embossed with Hero Arts Sand embossing powder.  The sailboat is from OLLLDDD retired SU Toy Box stamped in Versamark Obsidian Black and colored with Whisper White craft ink.  Last, I made foam with Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ivory Seashell.  I thought the sunset purple was a lot overdone, so I decided to try

Spring Flowers in August

Another week has flown by and August has come in with its normal heatwave.  I keep wishing for rain as the clouds part on their way through town.  Sigh, I'll go get the hose.... Today I have 2 cards to share with you. The first card starts with a base of Stampin' Up Terracotta Tile.  I love the mellow hue that it sets for the daffodils, and it reminded me of an unusual color combination that I have seen in a newer variety of the flower.  Just to clear the air... daffodils bloom in February in north Texas and are one of our first signs of spring.  So it isn't really a summer flower here, though I know other areas of the country/world it would bloom much later and might be considered an early summer flower.   I used a retired SU mask with SU Sparkle embossing paste mixed with a little terracotta ink to create the trellis pattern.  While that was drying I stamped the flowers with Altenew Paint-a-Flower Daffodils set in Versamark black and clear embossing powder.  I water color

Tonight was craft Zoom night, so I have 3 more cards for challenges completed.  I am really loving the time together when we can't be together! The first card is for Global Design Project and the Papercraft Card Challenge.   I started with Stampin' Up Whisper White card stock with Concord & 9th Feathered stamp set in SU Dapper Denim (because I don't have Misty Moonlight yet), Pool Party and Petal Pink.  I masked the floral feather and stamped the upright one.  The washi tape is retired SU and the sentiment is from  set and is cut with an SU die, not sure what set it came from.  This is layered on a Petal Pink card stock base.
