Last Day to Sale-a-Brate!!

This card is screaming SPRING!!  I worked in the yard this weekend and I am ready.....but I need leaf bags so I can do some serious clean up.  Not sure when is the best time to venture to Lowes?  I went to the Post Office yesterday and had to wait in my car.  4 people were inside with packages. In trying to keep my distance, I opted to wait in the car.  The poor girl at the counter said they have been so busy!  I guess lots of folks are getting their lives in order.....I am trying.....one form off in the mail finally! 

Today is the LAST DAY of Sale-a-bration and this Small Bloom Punch and matching stamp set Thoughtful Blooms is a great addition to you craft room.  I started with a Whisper White card base and a layer of Lily Impressions Designer paper.  Embossed this paper with the Scripty 3D folder, then adhered to the card base.  I added this Circle from Swirly Frames in Mossy Meadow.

I used the Stamparatus to add the sentiment in the center.  Then added some leaves and Flowers.  Flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Crushed Curry.  I love how the solids layer over the line images.  All punched with the Small Bloom Punch!

2 More Days to Sale-a-Brate!!

On this Seaside Spray card base I kept it SIMPLE.  Used the Stamparatus to get a nice dark sentiment.  When the FONT is this Beautiful you want to get all the saturation you can, the Stanparatus allows you to hit the same spot as many times as it takes!! 

I stamped the Crocus image and colored with Watercolor Pencils.  Coloring is so relaxing!  Added some Wink of Stella and cut out with these Scalloped Stitched dies.  Here is a closer look.....
The Wink of Stella works well to blend the pencils.

3 more Days to Sale-a-brate!!

Here is a very versatile set for Easter and beyond.  Check out the MINI catalog and get your items ordered during Sala-a-bration!!  Purple Posy card base and Crocus stamped all around.

I colored with Regular Markers because I was too lazy to walk upstairs and get my Blends!  But I think the blends would be a better medium for a fainter color effect.  Perfect time to try some Blends and EARN a Free Item with a $50 purchase!

I stamped the Cross and Sentiment on a stitched Frame and popped up in the field of Crocus.

Happy Cups

Rise & Shine has some great sentiments, but hanging out right now is not an option.  Unless we are having a virtual party?  I want to do a FB LIVE, but still need to gather some courage!  These cups remind me of Fiesta Ware with all those beautiful colors.  Grab your Favorite cup and make your favorite beverage.  Comfort in a cup!

I used a Thick Whisper White card base with a swath of Magnolia Lane designer paper.  Cups are Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow on Old Olive and Highland Heather on Highland Heather!  Love these reversible stamps!  You can make cups going BOTH directions!

Tea Time

Today's card is more of a Tea drinkers card.  I love the Heart on the Tea Bag tag.  A warm cup of tea is so comforting and we could all use some comfort now!

Rich Razzleberry card base with Best Dressed Designer paper.  I pulled colors from the paper for a Mint Macaron cup, Crushed Curry Sun rays and Tag.  I used Smoky Slate for the steam.

All on a Stitched Rectangle which gives this card front a Doily feel.  I used a Circle punch to pop up the Sentiment.

But First......COFFEE!

I have never been a Coffee drinker but I do understand the need for Caffeine!  Mine used to come in a can of Coca Cola at 5AM.  I have now graduated to Hot Green Tea, much better for me!

I inked the Mosaic embossing folder with Smokey Slate ink and embossed the Smokey Slate card base.  Added a Purple Posy Rectangle as a focal point.  Stamped directly in Highland Heather ink.
Steaming whisps stamped in the background and the Sentiment in Black ink.

I love how this popped up cup has a place for COFFEE!   Finishes the Sentiment and lets others know your favorite beverage!  These Photopolymer stamps are reversible so you can have cups going each direction!
