Hey there! My timing is still off, but at least I'm getting a post out there for today!

The card I want to share with you today is the beginner version with the Seaside Bay stamp set. When I was thinking of how I wanted to make my three cards to share with my team (and with you!) I planned to stamp directly on the By the Bay 6" x 6" Designer Paper, which I received in my first pre-order back in early November. However, I couldn't find the paper anywhere, so I decided to just use the stamps from the set along with the Oceanfront stamp set to create my cards, which is more of a beginner technique anyway!

I started with a Very Vanilla Thick Card Stock base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4". I used the "portrait" presentation as shown. I then did my stamping on a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of regular (thinner) Very Vanilla. I stamped Oceanfront images with Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, and Crumb Cake ink to look like the ocean, sunrise, and sand. I stamped the sandpiper (from Seaside Bay) with Crumb Cake ink, then stamped him again over the first stamping with Soft Suede ink because he was too pale. I didn't get the second stamping exactly over the first, but I decided I liked it that way because these little birds never stay still for long and the "blur" looks like he is moving. I stamped the sea grass (from Oceanfront) with Pear Pizzazz ink. I stamped the sand image from Seaside Bay all around the outside edge of the layer.

"Heartfelt Sympathy", stamped with Soft Suede, is also found in the Seaside Bay set.

"thinking of you" is from the Season of Chic stamp set. The baby sandpipers are stamped with Crumb Cake.

I will be back tomorrow, hopefully in the morning, with the Casual stamper Seaside Bay card!

Hey there! Today I have a fall-ish card I created with the Soft Seedlings stamp set! I love fall card making! My favorite colors are the dark rich colors  of fall, and I love creating cards with them. The colors I used today are Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, and Very Vanilla.

I used a super-easy technique to combine Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze on the leaves. I stamped the leaf and seeds with Pumpkin Pie, then dragged the Cajun Craze ink pad directly on the inked stamp before stamping on the Very Vanilla layer.

I accented the leaf and the greeting with Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. I added 1/2" x 5 1/4" strips of  Metallic & Shimmer 6 x 6" Specialty paper to the top & bottom of the vanilla strip before adding to the card front with dimensionals.

Inside I breathed on the leaf stamp to re-moisten the leftover ink to stamp in the opposite corners. The Cajun Craze stamped sentiment is also from Soft Seedlings.

I created a second version with a design added to the right side with one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush with Pumpkin Pie ink.

I think I probably should have used a lighter touch with my Blending Brush so the "hello" would show up a little more. I'll remember that next time I use the masks over a greeting.

It's hard to see in the pictures, but I embossed a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Soft Suede with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder for both cards. One card I left the embossed layer as it came out of the folder . . .

and the other card I used the Blending Brush to add Pumpkin Pie ink to make the raised design show up better. Can you tell which card is which? Which one do you prefer?

Hey there! Today I have a simply fabulous card from my friend from my Demonstrator Council days, Julia Mazur! Julia used the Simply Fabulous stamp set with 2022-2024 In Colors to create a super-simple but wonderful card!

This card requires no Stampin' Cut & Emboss or fancy embellishments. The colors she used of Starry Sky, Parakeet Party, and Sweet Sorbet do all the work!

This is such a great all-purpose card! Julia used only images from the Simply Fabulous set with Starry Sky, Sweet Sorbet, and Parakeet Party ink. She used a couple of the designs from the 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper, and put it all on a Starry Sky card base. This card didn't need much in the way of embellishments, so she just added a bow tied with Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine and adhered with a mini glue dot!

The Simply Fabulous stamps are photopolymer (clear) which makes them easy to line up!

She even added fun stamping to the front of the envelope! Love it!

Hey there! Today I have the full Apple Harvest card I shared a sneak peek of yesterday. I used the Apple Harvest Bundle (stamp set & dies, available while-supplies-last or until September 30th) with Gingham Cottage Designer Paper. I used a new-t0-me-fold, the center pop-out fold, shared recently by Wendy Cranford with a card base of Garden Green!

 After stamping the apple branch and blossoms with Tuxedo Black ink I then used Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Soft Suede, So Saffron, and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Markers to color. After cutting out with the coordinating Apple Blossoms die, I colored around the edges with a Light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends and added touches of Clear Wink of Stella to the redness of the apples.

I stamped the greeting, included in the Apple Harvest set, with black ink and then cut with the label die included in the Apple Blossoms dies. I added a small bow tied with Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon.

There are so many pretty images in the Apple Blossom set to color!

After stamping and coloring the largest apple image I used the Gray Granite Stampin' Blends to line around it. I also ran the same marker around the outside of the sentiment layer to give the look of another layer. I decided to leave the sentiment layer free of any words so I can add a personal note later.

Hey there! We are still waiting on Alisa's baby to make his appearance! I know a lot of girls these days allow themselves to be induced as soon as the doctor will schedule it, but Alisa has always had a different approach. She believes it is better for her and her baby to wait until the baby is ready to come. Now, granted, she has always had uncomplicated deliveries. I was unable to be present for her last two, Cyndal was born the morning Mark & I got off the boat from a Stampin' Up! Alaska cruise, and Avara was born during Covid lockdown. If all goes as planned I will be able to be present for Atreyu's birth. I was in the room for Oakley, Lando, and Ivory's births, and each one was so special. Alisa's doctor has stated that all babies are born by 42 weeks and 6 days and yesterday was 42 weeks, so come on Atreyu!

Note: This post may be my last for a couple of weeks, or my posts may be sporadic during that time. I will be busy helping with Alisa's older 5, as well as cooking and laundry. I will be sleeping at her house on the couch, and her internet is not good as she currently lives out in the "boonies" in a metal-sided and roofed house. So please don't give up on checking my blog!

The card I'm sharing today is one I received from a member of my team, Martha Swift. Martha is sweet lady and an exceptionally classy stamper. She used the Dragon Fly Garden stamp set and Dragonfly Punch for her creation:

Martha created a frame by cutting designer series paper with a Stitched Rectangle Die, adhered a window sheet to the back of the paper, then mounted it on the card front with the white stamped layer underneath, with Foam Adhesive Strips. She used Rich Razzleberry and Mint Macaron Stampin' Write Markers on the flower image to get both colors with one stamping. She also stamped and punched the Dragonfly with the Dragonflies Punch to mount on the stamped white layer with dimensionals.

The greeting, also stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink, is also from the Dragonfly Garden set.

Hey there! My card today is my last in the series with the Butterfly Kisses 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack. I felt like these two prints together had a tropical look to them, so I decided to combine them with the Sunny Splash stamp set!

I stamped the swimsuit on Basic White with Parakeet Party ink, then cut with the Stylish Shapes oval die. I set the outside white ring aside for a future project and then cut Calypso Coral with the same die to use add the frame around the suit. I added the suit oval with dimensionals and the outside frame with tiny slivers of dimensionals. I added an Iridescent Rhinestone for some bling on the suit.

For the background I adhered two strips of Butterfly Kisses designer, the flowered print is 2" x 5", and the Parakeet Party diagonal lined print is 1 3/4" x 5". I embossed the layers with the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder before adhering to the card front. I added a couple more Iridescent Rhinestones for a bit more sparkle.

I stamped the greeting with Calypso Coral ink on a 3/4" x 2 5/8" Basic White strip, then cut one end into banner points with Paper Snips. I adhered this also with dimensionals.

Inside I embossed the Parakeet Party layer with the Cascading Ruffles folder again, adhered, then added a 1" wide strip of Butterfly Kisses to a white layer stamped with the sentiment with Calypso Coral ink. I then used a Scalloped Contours Die to cut the sentiment layer before adhering. I stamped another sentiment from Sunny Splash on the envelope flap.

Hey there! Today I have a tri-accordion fold card for you, created with the Lovely You stamp set and Butterfly Kisses 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper! This fold is perfect for the Butterfly Kisses Designer Paper, as it has so many pretty and coordinating prints to choose from! To create this fold, you start with a card base (mine is Fresh Freesia) of 5 1/2" x 11, scored at 4 1/4", 7", and 9 3/4".

I stamped the greeting from Lovely You with Calypso Coral ink, then cut with a Fabulous Frames die. This die cuts in two pieces, the smooth oval you see here as well as an outer oval that looks stitched. I decided to just use the smooth oval. After cutting I used Parakeet Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin' Write Markers to ink the flowers and stems to stamp around the words. I don't use my markers enough! Ever since I started purchasing the Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers I haven't used my Stampin' Write Markers much, but they are perfect for adding color directly to red rubber cling stamps! After I stamped the greeting oval and cut it out, I adhered to the middle fold of the card with dimensionals, overlapping the edge of the front fold to help hold the card together. I added a bow tied with Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon and a Iridescent Rhinestone to finish off the front.

Inside I added a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Butterfly Kisses Designer Paper, then cut Basic White with a Scalloped Contours die to stamp with more Lovely You images.

I used the same marker-direct-to-image technique to stamp the envelope to coordinate with the card.

Hey there! Today's card is a bright and cheerful "thinking of you" card with the new Hope & Prayer stamp set and Butterfly Kisses 6" x 6" Designer Paper. I let the designer paper prints I chose determine the colors of the card: Basic White, Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral, and Fresh Freesia.

The Basic White Thick card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4".

The Parakeet Party layer on the front and the inside you will see later is 4" x 5 1/4"

The Butterfly Kisses designer paper sections are:

2 1/4" x 3 1/4"

2 1/4" x 1 3/4"

1 1/2" x 1 3/4"

1 1/2" x 3 1/4"

I cut butterflies (I do not own the coordinating Best Butterflies stamp set yet) from coordinating Butterfly Kisses designer paper using Brilliant Wings dies. I adhered with a glue dot and added a Parakeet Party In Color Matte Decorative Dot.

I stamped a phrase from Hope & Prayer with Calypso Coral ink, punched with the Double Oval Punch, and adhered with dimensionals.

 I cut the smaller butterfly from Butterfly Kisses designer paper with another Brilliant Wings die. I added another Parakeet Party In Color Matte Decorative Dot just like I did on the larger butterfly.

Inside I stamped another sentiment from Hope & Prayer with Calypso Coral ink on the 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" Basic White layer. I cut another small butterfly and added with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Hey there! Today's card is a mix of two stamp sets and a completely unrelated set of dies! I combined the Sunny Splash stamp set, Waves of Inspiration stamp set, Palms Dies, AND the Cloud Punch to create this fun card!

I stamped the curling wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using the Stamparatus so I could make sure the large image made good contact with the Basic White layer. I inked the wave with Tahitian Tide ink first, then used a Blending Brush to add Starry Sky ink before stamping. I punched cloud stencils with the Cloud Punch and a Post-It Note so I could use a Blending Brush to add Tahitian Tide ink to the sky and leave the cloud outlines. I cut the palm tree using the Palm Dies from Basic Black card stock, then adhered to the card front with tiny dots of liquid glue. The "Make a Splash" greeting is from Sunny Splash and stamped with Tuxedo Black ink.

For my finishing touch I stamped this Sunny Splash swim suit (there are three suit designs in the set) with Parakeet Party ink, then hand-cut it with my Paper Snips. I added Iridescent Rhinestones to the front of the suit.

Inside I stamped the curling wave and blended the clouds, then added another Sunny Splash sentiment with black ink. I stamped the envelope to match with some smaller palm trees from the Paradise Palms stamp set and I was done!

Hey there! My next creation with the Cottage Rose Bundle was made with Blackberry Bliss card stock, Blackberry Bliss Pretty Prints Designer Paper, and Blackberry Bliss ink!

I used the same z-fold dimensions as yesterday's card: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"

After stamping the bloom with Blackberry Bliss ink, I colored with Blackberry Bliss ink squeezed onto the pad lid and a dried-out Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I then colored the leaves with a Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Marker from the Neutrals Stampin' Write Marker pack, following up with Clear Wink of Stella over both the bloom and the leaves. I added a bow tied from White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon for the final touch.

Inside I stamped the bloom image and the Cottage Rose sentiment with Blackberry Bliss ink.
