This beautiful bold red is a very powerful color and I wanted to make sure I created a card design that showed the beauty of this color without being overwhelming.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qCfz6cEgrPVnwObR2IwSjsL4Ffgv8H0gSkmSie-lE6oxv2DyV9G8jP5w9BgakFwosg33fS_XjEbeY875kG0niagF8RwpFC-wzCgmGIe8Jt6v4u6Ewzgj5twdf-DlDisuTik4-yV9eX8ZaD3OA1rw-oUPVw03tpOUAhXPfmlgUaE7HvaHGxTK2WrBIiB3/s3383/IMG_9246%20Latte%20Love%20Polly%20Parade%20Best%20Part%20of%20My%20Day%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3383" data-original-width="3112" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qCfz6cEgrPVnwObR2IwSjsL4Ffgv8H0gSkmSie-lE6oxv2DyV9G8jP5w9BgakFwosg33fS_XjEbeY875kG0niagF8RwpFC-wzCgmGIe8Jt6v4u6Ewzgj5twdf-DlDisuTik4-yV9eX8ZaD3OA1rw-oUPVw03tpOUAhXPfmlgUaE7HvaHGxTK2WrBIiB3/w588-h640/IMG_9246%20Latte%20Love%20Polly%20Parade%20Best%20Part%20of%20My%20Day%20Card.jpg" width="588" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my card design, I chose to use the new Latte Love Bundle, one of the new Online Exclusives just released this month. For my color combination, I chose to pair Poppy Parade with Basic, Black, Basic White and a touch of Pecan Pie to help balance out the design. I love the contrast between these colors and how they all work so well together. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV6JLBeIcu452787FlPrMAZ2jTzNHU6PZ6oLugL76-AlVtYwSSJob9W94T7k9Y9_cPq-DXU-Ov7C4IVaMRVSAOY4SnmyHN4J8OMKxl40VTxcxMTHgJyTJ3zKw3jFgrVGoiwh500CbXkcU07YgFd6t8h_7KK1Fh7LeC1EegzYsdbCv3xflqgxcffA3go15V/s3721/IMG_9278%20Latte%20Love%20Polly%20Parade%20Best%20Part%20of%20My%20Day%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Even though I am not a coffee drinker, I couldn't resist using the Latte Love Bundle to create this fun card design. I love the way to coffee cups look colored in with the Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Markers and how they pop against the Basic Black circles that I used to frame them. For the "coffee" part of the cups, I stamped the images with Pecan Pie Classic ink to create the look of a latte and I blended some of the Pecan Pie ink to tone down the Basic White edges for the bottom cup of coffee. For the background, I used one of the designs from the Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to add some texture and dimension to the design. I love how this design pops against the Basic Black card base and circles to tie it all together. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and die cut it out with one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. To complete the card design, I colored two of the Iridescent Pearls with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker to add a touch of bling to the sentiment label. I love how this card turned out and how it showcases this beautiful, vibrant red. What do you think about Poppy Parade? Do you love this beautiful red as much as I do?

So I thought I would combine these two elements to create a soft and pretty card design using the Enduring Beauty Bundle. For the background, I used one of the new Fun Patterns Embossing Folders to add some texture. Recently I learned a new technique called Etching, so I decided to try it with this card and I love how it added depth and dimension to the floral design. The overall design has a modern, artistic feel to it that I think works well for Spring. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7jhR8jut5Yqs2zITyN9VhpRzJQygNxZjGQ6kauI_jS-Uot0_6ty-ZZZ6lDB_penmozDO6Qd58ifFbaI4kH0-LW5pNpBQZOHQHnarxJn6RWc7yXy0NAIAx3lnzUtzjF_zGzrc3IpTugMuZ8XkGe3AH85isndpBIVKX5crMfHwUYxyV0NIYqMCM9peEZJb/s3589/IMG_9223%20Enduring%20Beauty%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20Thinking%20of%20You%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

There are so many different ways you can mix and match the stamp set, masks and coordinating dies to get creative. I chose to use all three to create my Spring themed card. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and used the masks to color the images. For the flowers I used Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia Classic ink pads and for the leaves I chose Soft Sea Foam and Parakeet Party ink pads. I applied the color to the masks using blending brushes to give the stamped image a soft and pretty look. For the etching on the images, I used the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to add small lines to add depth and texture. I love the artistic feeling that this technique adds to this image. I used the coordinating Enduring Beauty Dies to die cut the image to create the focal point for my card design. For the background layer, I cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock measuring 5" x 3 3/4" into three separate pieces and then embossed them using one of the Fun Patterns Embossing Folders. I love the delicate detail it adds to the background without being overwhelming. I attached the three pieces to a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and then layered it onto the Basic Black cardstock that helps to frame the layers and make it pop against the Soft Sea Foam card base. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto Basic Black cardstock and used one of the Timeless Arrangements Dies to die cut the label. I added the sentiment to the bottom right corner of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals and added the floral image so that the leaves slightly overlap the sentiment, also using Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added several Gold Pearls to coordinate with the Gold embossing. I love how this design turned out using these products to create a fresh and pretty card for Spring. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Wz7msT6N-0-2YNKFnA1Yj8T_m2TMoIjoQWVCccFjGpZU3L5j00nrZa-EXCYyoWcvq9QSYF0twwyCSTZHh0tXZgaBMF_icNkU_DVWW774lm2HpyTYLifKxm2W-OXZLjxCWktOdJtZtOLpOBcfeSVEWym7d5YFoLM1XIDeg3Pq4pdGk3TYKAPTJtuP1bQ4/s1600/163790%20Fun%20Patterns%20Embossing%20Folders.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Wz7msT6N-0-2YNKFnA1Yj8T_m2TMoIjoQWVCccFjGpZU3L5j00nrZa-EXCYyoWcvq9QSYF0twwyCSTZHh0tXZgaBMF_icNkU_DVWW774lm2HpyTYLifKxm2W-OXZLjxCWktOdJtZtOLpOBcfeSVEWym7d5YFoLM1XIDeg3Pq4pdGk3TYKAPTJtuP1bQ4/w400-h400/163790%20Fun%20Patterns%20Embossing%20Folders.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

We have been challenged to use Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy to create our projects this month. My favorite color is blue, so I am very excited to play with these beautiful colors. Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIZP-qBSuAY2IqXQtWbSJJXdxYPDflkPTBpR30KIpf2WIBLqSrwdayugESkP9CURaFa1GapDDytLJ7flnFvhUXtmSpbIpf_qYypP1phTIsdqhRzkrcgHNJUAteWdOt32VMc1clyrH5z6K7Wg48Kccb24I-Azi_IdX-nYvUApuy1SqCkKHF-XV8GSSA9cDN/s940/Around%20The%20World%20On%20Wednesday%20Blog%20Hop%20Next%20image.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW4yjqs7WjHkVlkbzsD33ODrb5U1hHwZEE2woYbCsIasvnOoXhv8TJPRfGvLgplu5RkUav_vvvj_pHulzXswkwGgFA1-o10_4ImgZ_wO6C2ZRIwiqpNPjXX0SsIi9i6V5diDZtI4oGf2Jy5_uwQWirwIxNCAwcR8DrsPsVFqsk2kDDs3hexjUbPoCRn_0B/s1080/AWOW%20March%202024%20Color%20Challenge%20image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW4yjqs7WjHkVlkbzsD33ODrb5U1hHwZEE2woYbCsIasvnOoXhv8TJPRfGvLgplu5RkUav_vvvj_pHulzXswkwGgFA1-o10_4ImgZ_wO6C2ZRIwiqpNPjXX0SsIi9i6V5diDZtI4oGf2Jy5_uwQWirwIxNCAwcR8DrsPsVFqsk2kDDs3hexjUbPoCRn_0B/w400-h400/AWOW%20March%202024%20Color%20Challenge%20image.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my card, I wanted to combine all of the colors to create a fun and festive design that would also be a great masculine card. When I saw the sample for the Happy Little Things Bundle, I knew I wanted to CASE it using these beautiful colors. I did make a few adjustments to create my own version of this design and I love how it turned out. For the banners, I used a combination of designer series paper and embossed cardstock to create the banners behind the sentiment to add some texture and depth to the design. The sentiment has been colored using Stampin' Blends Markers in the colors to add a pop of color to the Basic White label. I must admit, as much as I love these blues, I don't think I would have thought to combine them all together but thanks to this challenge, I can now say, I love how they look on this card design.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">The banners are the star of this card design and are the perfect way to add a variety of colors as well as a little texture. I embossed the cardstock banners using one of the new Fun Patterns Embossing Folders, which are a new addition to the Online Exclusives. It adds just a little bit of texture without being over the top. I alternated them with the striped designer series paper banners in each of the colors and attached them behind the Night of Navy Label. For the sentiment label, I stamped the sentiment with Night of Navy Classic ink and then colored in the letters using Dark Pool Party, Light Balmy Blue, Light Boho Blue, Light Misty Moonlight and Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blends Markers. I attached the sentiment label to the Night of Navy label and then attached it to the Basic White layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. I then layered it onto the Boho Blue layer and finally attached it to the Night of Navy card base. To complete the card design, I added several Misty Moonlight Gems for a touch of bling.

Our Design Team is looking forward to showing you all the wonderful possibilities using this technique.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz71nMdU-VL4kItbrINyiaw3Sy6mP2X6u7Gy79-vAq8Ratjv_IqYwgPhfBtZoGT1FZWFueItueEG88DBGIirPHUAEXkf33QXNH0GK46C_b27B4Wo1sHne5xjY64fZbKx73tWnRxkC_q01jNGxMS6V_-izsX7iboF2Cbc07-49SPV4iYsiPvS_-HYF-N5QA/s3340/IMG_9071%20Natures%20Sweetness%20Etched%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3340" data-original-width="2998" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz71nMdU-VL4kItbrINyiaw3Sy6mP2X6u7Gy79-vAq8Ratjv_IqYwgPhfBtZoGT1FZWFueItueEG88DBGIirPHUAEXkf33QXNH0GK46C_b27B4Wo1sHne5xjY64fZbKx73tWnRxkC_q01jNGxMS6V_-izsX7iboF2Cbc07-49SPV4iYsiPvS_-HYF-N5QA/w574-h640/IMG_9071%20Natures%20Sweetness%20Etched%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" width="574" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I must admit, I had not heard of this technique before this month's challenge, so I was a little nervous about how to approach using this technique. I was fortunate enough to watch <a href="https://youtu.be/9x89FrbudOk?si=ctGfX1i2Gs4kRa-Q">this video</a> on You Tube by Debbie Yeomans that shared how to use this technique using line images. When I looked through the stamp sets that I had, I couldn't find an image that I thought would work well for this technique, so I instead chose to use one of the beautiful images from the Nature's Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper as my focal design. This beautiful paper can be found in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and it is part of the Nature's Sweetness Suite Collection. I also used the Notes of Nature stamp set, which is also part of this suite, to add the sentiment and detail with Gold embossing. I love the simple elegance created using this technique with Watercolor Pencils and the way it adds a touch of color to the design. I have discovered that Etching is a lot of fun and can be very relaxing and therapeutic. I hope my card design will help inspire you to give it a try. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn8HHhDTwGkybFOA_kidhhh7UMcIN9CHPEzHV0fOVf3Io3ET90iy705MBQtxC_A3T1VW8ZOGQlg48Xv2oIIwHfJjh0J5HqR0YTJJsn6TFnWPahRzpXVPqaFjMPt-fBhOzAbC8xahCZnEl5re_r5YUsxUBPssvDbQWLC_SG_qZHzhfCsTzJsxAFKh6oruHR/s3697/IMG_9108%20Natures%20Sweetness%20Etched%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Etching is a way to add texture and in this case color as well, using small lines to the image. I wanted to add color to the focal image and I love that this technique gave me the ability to a hint of color using Watercolor Pencils to add the etched lines. For the leaves, I chose to use Old Olive, the the seed pods I chose to use Pecan Pie and for the small blossoms I chose to use Daffodil Delight. As you can see, this small lines give the different elements of the image depth and dimension and help them to come alive. I didn't want to overpower the simplicity of this design, so I chose to heat emboss the sentiment with Gold embossing powder towards the bottom right of the card front and then added some Gold splatter detail that I also heat embossed. The stamp images from the Notes of Nature stamp set coordinated perfectly with this image to help me complete the design. I layered the card front onto a Pecan Pie card base and added Gold Pearls to the center of the flowers to finish off the design. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJqyR2iFBDdKyMdIRp58pL2J01HMgecTV9HIMhqSNOuSmnGhlOFSFgF0pM9hFuP5_cZvWD_yIEJSNqBKlEqJcBarychjJCOdGEUxNwymyh9JFZB83Nk4wvtgA7Ulk519UyhM8dRvJthbGSs8JxA3NnNu3Yp4jvyuypcgh7W1mYbxtotCok0ryktSjH-y83/s1600/Watercolor%20Pencils%20Assortment%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJqyR2iFBDdKyMdIRp58pL2J01HMgecTV9HIMhqSNOuSmnGhlOFSFgF0pM9hFuP5_cZvWD_yIEJSNqBKlEqJcBarychjJCOdGEUxNwymyh9JFZB83Nk4wvtgA7Ulk519UyhM8dRvJthbGSs8JxA3NnNu3Yp4jvyuypcgh7W1mYbxtotCok0ryktSjH-y83/w400-h400/Watercolor%20Pencils%20Assortment%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I love the sentiments in this stamp set and the coordinating dies make it simple to die cut the smaller sentiments to add as an accent. I paired it with the Nested Essentials Dies to create the focal sentiment label and I used one of the designs from the 2022-2024 In Colors 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to create a fun, bold background. This card design would work well as a masculine card and could be used for birthdays, graduations and so much more to help celebrate a special day.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This clean and simple card design focuses on the sentiments from the Happy Little Things stamp set. I chose to use the large outline image for the Celebrate sentiment to heat emboss it onto Starry Sky cardstock using Silver Embossing powder to make it pop. I used the Nested Essentials to die cut the sentiment label and then layered it onto a slightly larger Basic White cardstock label also die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies. For the small sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock using Starry Sky Classic ink and then die cut it out with the smaller of the two dies from the Happy Little Things Dies. I then layered it onto the Starry Sky label die cut with the larger banner die. For the embellishments for this design, I added two pieces of the Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon around the center of the polka dot card front, spacing them about 1/2" apart and attaching them to the back of the card front, before attaching the layer to the card base. I added both sentiments using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. To complete the design, I added several Starry Sky Pearls to both sentiment labels for a touch of subtle bling. So there you have it. A wonderful card design featuring a beautiful dark blue that I hope you will love as much as I do.

We get to choose 3 in a row either horizontally, vertically or diagonally to help us create our project designs. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects to help inspire you to give this challenge a try.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13h8Pcb7i0qvdsHB2f6SQr5OjVWez1c8y0Pc7UIcjeq8EY_dfCbI0R-iHLHdZCUNaXfr27ALCYRik8IYz-RPNRZlTahj0T9oSYNlZLx3Fv8dpSrD2NVL6LXx94d09tLC-9sj4x7C7yCpsr4menu_w0pR1JtmO4X-QPGRrBqtl3wR9mS0EGKIVccw_SCU1/s1031/Stamping%20With%20Friends%20Tic-Tac-Toe%20March%20Challenge%20image.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="998" data-original-width="1031" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj13h8Pcb7i0qvdsHB2f6SQr5OjVWez1c8y0Pc7UIcjeq8EY_dfCbI0R-iHLHdZCUNaXfr27ALCYRik8IYz-RPNRZlTahj0T9oSYNlZLx3Fv8dpSrD2NVL6LXx94d09tLC-9sj4x7C7yCpsr4menu_w0pR1JtmO4X-QPGRrBqtl3wR9mS0EGKIVccw_SCU1/w400-h388/Stamping%20With%20Friends%20Tic-Tac-Toe%20March%20Challenge%20image.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my card design, I started with the left vertical side to create a Thank You card with embossing and Designer Series Paper but then I realized that I also had the elements for the right vertical side as I also included a butterfly, with floral designer series paper and vellum accents. So I guess you could say I have a 2 for one design. Now that we are in the month of March, Spring is approaching fast, so I decided to create a pretty Spring card design using a color that I don't use very often, Bubble Bath. I am not really a pink girl, so this was an additional challenge for me and I must admit, I do like how it turned out. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This pretty card design is a little more over the top than I would normally create. I loved the Bubble Bath and White striped pattern of the designer series paper and the reverse side had a pretty floral that coordinated perfectly with it. I die cut the center out of the designer series paper card front using one of the Thoughtful Expressions Dies and then flipped it over and so that the floral side was facing up. I then attached it to a Bubble Bath matte layer one size larger, also cut using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I attached the striped side of the designer series paper to the Basic White cardstock layer and added a piece of the Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon around the center, attaching the ends to the back. I then added this layer to my Bubble Bath card base. I added the focal panel to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals so that it covers the hole in the card front. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLUT5vXmWEYR6I7-XQAlvKVcvw0assmA9QU3jrKJ8JrJxEY4i-61hYqp3QtBler3ZnPLLP0uUjgFvrsl_xwPy3Rj6lEE8w1uiXarIAmpY2CXjjxgnk3RHSJ_8YNjNWUnHXCNxcoXZrAUSDPa46dKl3Bu155GZC5SRgWfUiYBH6_Kr9LpNQGwFb8JXUgTj/s1600/162821Thoughtful%20Expressions%20Dies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLUT5vXmWEYR6I7-XQAlvKVcvw0assmA9QU3jrKJ8JrJxEY4i-61hYqp3QtBler3ZnPLLP0uUjgFvrsl_xwPy3Rj6lEE8w1uiXarIAmpY2CXjjxgnk3RHSJ_8YNjNWUnHXCNxcoXZrAUSDPa46dKl3Bu155GZC5SRgWfUiYBH6_Kr9LpNQGwFb8JXUgTj/w400-h400/162821Thoughtful%20Expressions%20Dies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the butterfly, I colored the die cut using one drop of the Bubble Bath Classic ink refill with the Clear Wink of Stella to give the butterfly a pretty pink shimmer. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Go To Greetings stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the Basic White sentiment label and attached it to the bottom of the focal layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. I then added the butterfly die cut above the sentiment label, centering it on the focal panel. For the vellum leaves, I colored them with the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Marker to add some soft color and then added them to the card front so that the ends tucked underneath the center panel, arranging them at the top left corner and the bottom right corner. For a touch of bling, I added some Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins to finish off the design. I really love how this pretty card turned out and I had so much fun with this Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7aNLJvaIt52aRJlquM7SDB6pImiUPyrg4cYdXJBJDhGGP-1ScG_WQaO0npE9Xu-TFGI2_shObRmSn07iraQ3ExsNP23TZhs37vP4fzUedkP9QqPqHbhnN8FHbHokrMXB4baAeA6eeHZ9iRwoQj3yuqNBfGVKyCMym5P2q5DllZyFu5xv7gpQi2BeVR-YS/s1600/161640%20Delightfully%20Eclectic%20Design%20Series%20Paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7aNLJvaIt52aRJlquM7SDB6pImiUPyrg4cYdXJBJDhGGP-1ScG_WQaO0npE9Xu-TFGI2_shObRmSn07iraQ3ExsNP23TZhs37vP4fzUedkP9QqPqHbhnN8FHbHokrMXB4baAeA6eeHZ9iRwoQj3yuqNBfGVKyCMym5P2q5DllZyFu5xv7gpQi2BeVR-YS/w400-h400/161640%20Delightfully%20Eclectic%20Design%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I used the coordinating 2 3/8" Circle Punch from the bundle to punch out the stamped Celebrate circle and layered it onto a Shaded Spruce circle I die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies, using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To create the shamrock in the center, I punched out 4 of the small hearts from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Bee Builder Punch and arranged them in the center of the circle. I used the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker to draw in the stem. For the sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock using Shaded Spruce Classic ink and die cut it out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I framed it with the Granny Apple Green Label cut in half and attached to the ends on the back of the sentiment label. I attached the designer series paper card front to the card base and then added the focal image and sentiment to the card front to create the design. To complete the card, I added several of the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to add a touch of bling. The Pretty Peacock gems are a close match to the Shaded Spruce and help finish off the design. I love how fun and fresh this card design looks and I think it's a great way to help brighten someone's day.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyc0fdv08Yk-YP25_KmXNwdmvhvoMGefXFj9oLGKIeSDoqC8jVM7sjbDXmsOnB-yDc2mqgjjIlRvY2Zj9cp10L8uuRJ-tkVA_dyFaD2cQBicCxritEzQi5U-Xnwg24KHYCVII91B0Jo1Pdce5o_hhvjTQOpAmpPMoanRLbad2r3evfUgJTTLJbU0HgZiM7/s1600/161642%20Regals%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyc0fdv08Yk-YP25_KmXNwdmvhvoMGefXFj9oLGKIeSDoqC8jVM7sjbDXmsOnB-yDc2mqgjjIlRvY2Zj9cp10L8uuRJ-tkVA_dyFaD2cQBicCxritEzQi5U-Xnwg24KHYCVII91B0Jo1Pdce5o_hhvjTQOpAmpPMoanRLbad2r3evfUgJTTLJbU0HgZiM7/w400-h400/161642%20Regals%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Then I started to think along the lines of the word beat, and it made me think of wings, which led me to butterflies which will soon start to return. So I decided to create a pretty Spring themed card design using the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and coordinating Cards & Envelopes, with butterflies being a key part of the design. I love that this was a simple card to create and required just a few supplies to make a beautiful design. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg67m2mhbvI-3kXQzgrtaCRsSPGq9x0aQG52l8ZXHQXarYoBLFk5ANSByEeIt_VQsh7iDwgQQ3wE789EcOxdIqPjOmz2lLvk4wy1m2EpHReQExzG4KQ2gtN6HiY1jWebI4Cg0JYxaDLmNbc-QvIdJ9HnXPrRXqV1gpmQe11rUnPVYFWo7QVsGphJgk4sGIz/s3266/IMG_8909%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Dream%20Big%20Butterfly%20Card.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3266" data-original-width="2736" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg67m2mhbvI-3kXQzgrtaCRsSPGq9x0aQG52l8ZXHQXarYoBLFk5ANSByEeIt_VQsh7iDwgQQ3wE789EcOxdIqPjOmz2lLvk4wy1m2EpHReQExzG4KQ2gtN6HiY1jWebI4Cg0JYxaDLmNbc-QvIdJ9HnXPrRXqV1gpmQe11rUnPVYFWo7QVsGphJgk4sGIz/w536-h640/IMG_8909%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Dream%20Big%20Butterfly%20Card.jpg" width="536" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Products Used:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack (item #162930)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes (item #162931)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Petal Pink Cardstock (item #146985)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Baker's Twine Three Color Pack (item #162759)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots (item #162758)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ppJez38tJOhI8YW_xSSEiA3rVmcQSyhggAiHqu2uo6YPsP9C5KXTtP8iARHfAHZvuZ2FlglpJ4Zx9p-AkBoKJ9sXYf0uii2qY321BTTf9uLzhkX5jtqBb3C_0mIfJRejiKlDNUE8zrgnQkR2ZPau9dQIOyknk-s5xl9B3oLyfaC38SWJjj6-WPVBFeue/s3508/IMG_8932%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Dream%20Big%20Butterfly%20Card.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3508" data-original-width="3005" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ppJez38tJOhI8YW_xSSEiA3rVmcQSyhggAiHqu2uo6YPsP9C5KXTtP8iARHfAHZvuZ2FlglpJ4Zx9p-AkBoKJ9sXYf0uii2qY321BTTf9uLzhkX5jtqBb3C_0mIfJRejiKlDNUE8zrgnQkR2ZPau9dQIOyknk-s5xl9B3oLyfaC38SWJjj6-WPVBFeue/w548-h640/IMG_8932%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Dream%20Big%20Butterfly%20Card.jpg" width="548" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Measurements:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">1 Calypso Coral Card Base and coordinating Envelope</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dream Big Card - 3"x4"</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Assorted Flowers Stickers</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Petal Pink Cardstock</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Matte Layer - 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXMelK5dJDVWgwsCh4DSJ8d0qy8O77Hl0cC1GrFd5gEqxT0S5aEbKHp0YXTVjs-4-oe-He6Ab9yL2AnVAtV9DTnI6MQocIxBstyvNydhZ0iS78E1_v67cXWrMR3iKeoK7KQlnIXGjFv-A5Ac0izoykseY8ngo24UsUWAtMequTgXn4_qfHeH2MB3F3rmI6/s1600/162930%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20&%20More%20Card%20Pack.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXMelK5dJDVWgwsCh4DSJ8d0qy8O77Hl0cC1GrFd5gEqxT0S5aEbKHp0YXTVjs-4-oe-He6Ab9yL2AnVAtV9DTnI6MQocIxBstyvNydhZ0iS78E1_v67cXWrMR3iKeoK7KQlnIXGjFv-A5Ac0izoykseY8ngo24UsUWAtMequTgXn4_qfHeH2MB3F3rmI6/w400-h400/162930%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20&%20More%20Card%20Pack.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This fun no-stamping card, is a great way to create a pretty design by just mixing and matching different elements to come up with the finished card. Once I had chosen the card I wanted to use for the focal image, I added a piece of Petal Pink cardstock to create a matte layer to help it pop against the Calypso Coral card base. I added some Lemon Lolly Baker's Twine around the bottom of the layer, wrapping it around twice and then tying a bow on the left side. I added several Petal Pink Dots to the focal card to coordinate with the matte layer and then attached the layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. To step the design up even further, I added several of the flower stickers to the top left and bottom right corners of the card front, tucking them slightly under the raised focal layer. To complete the design, I added a little more bling to the centers of the small flowers using Basic Rhinestone Jewels. I love how fresh and pretty this card is and how simple it was to create. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg5Q7QKH23V_8-DgRIFwetnhJS0EPV6_GW_f6rA6S-WpFbvhWO9iuEZmz9XTGFs3Blxyb2TupSfj2iAhMpDxVJ1Z7XwgUyuwb3KyThzwBse-YWlz1IBmSCL5O0bpcRa6osI294FMj9vYFsR6WhsgAsODLhUGk7I7bfg5cX5jOPywRkrUzX3st0G327kf3o/s1600/162931%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20&%20More%20Cards%20&%20Envelopes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg5Q7QKH23V_8-DgRIFwetnhJS0EPV6_GW_f6rA6S-WpFbvhWO9iuEZmz9XTGFs3Blxyb2TupSfj2iAhMpDxVJ1Z7XwgUyuwb3KyThzwBse-YWlz1IBmSCL5O0bpcRa6osI294FMj9vYFsR6WhsgAsODLhUGk7I7bfg5cX5jOPywRkrUzX3st0G327kf3o/w400-h400/162931%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20&%20More%20Cards%20&%20Envelopes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

We are starting off the month of March with the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and for Week 9 we are creating with the beautiful Tahitian Tide. This pretty blue lives up to its name with a wonderful tropical feeling to it that has me thinking of holidaying on a tropical island with white sandy beaches and clear blue waters. I guess you could say that this is what influenced me for today's card design.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYBgE9baXAfCeF3ciWYNYPESqHQby_LrYUWd-rjJjiGXGvrhuubSxNIT9XUDVutrLOqg6TCnjl1dm-mCXOQLJLH_N7lICH_5MxqFjUFwj6nc-oSMfYSE7GVCbUCWPF68AhBru3CAcTR7Eswbym-kCUr-gp52jnB-Qg9ayUIeYaTOaWhfAgNsFZoacQDVBO/s3383/IMG_8798%20Sea%20Turtle%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3383" data-original-width="3101" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYBgE9baXAfCeF3ciWYNYPESqHQby_LrYUWd-rjJjiGXGvrhuubSxNIT9XUDVutrLOqg6TCnjl1dm-mCXOQLJLH_N7lICH_5MxqFjUFwj6nc-oSMfYSE7GVCbUCWPF68AhBru3CAcTR7Eswbym-kCUr-gp52jnB-Qg9ayUIeYaTOaWhfAgNsFZoacQDVBO/w586-h640/IMG_8798%20Sea%20Turtle%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" width="586" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I started thinking about swimming in the ocean, I thought about what I might find as I explore and it brought to mind sea turtles and how they glide effortlessly through the water. So, I decided to use the Sea Turtle stamp set from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to create my card design, showcasing the wonderful shades of this color using Generational stamping and blending to create this pretty background. I added some texture to the background using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I love how Silver embossing looks with blue, so I chose to heat emboss the turtle image and sentiment onto Vellum cardstock to create the focal design. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I love how the Silver embossing on the Vellum cardstock pops against the Tahitian Tide tone on tone stamped background. To create the different layers of color for the background, I started by gently blending Tahitian Tide Classic ink onto the Basic White card front to create a soft blue all over background. I then stamped the bubbles image several times around the edges to add some texture and deeper color. For the fish, I stamped off once and then stamped the image onto the cardstock to create a lighter color that gives the impression that the fish are further back to add some depth to the design. To add some additional texture, I embossed the background layer with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and I like how it gives the appearance of waves in the water. I added the Vellum cardstock to the card front with adhesive behind the embossed turtle so that it doesn't show up. To finish off the design, I added several Tahitian Tide Pearls for a touch of bling. Isn't it so pretty? I love how this card design showcases how beautiful Tahitian Tide looks.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set and coordinating Ladybug Builder Punch are perfect for showcasing this bright red and I had so much fun creating this clean and simple card design. I also used the Stylish Shapes Dies, one of my go-to favorites to create this layout and used one of the designs from the 2022-2024 In Colors 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to create a fun, cheerful background. There is something so amazing about the combination of black, white and red that I love and it works so well for this card design.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

When I first thought about creating a card design with Sweet Sorbet, I thought it would be perfect to use with the Hello Ladybug stamp set. The black, white and Sweet Sorbet color combination was the perfect fit and I couldn't wait to get started. I wanted to find a way to really make the Sweet Sorbet pop, so I decided to use Basic Black cardstock for the card base and the accent layers. I die cut a Basic Black circle to frame the Basic White focal circle to help it stand out against the Sweet Sorbet polka dot designer series paper. I punched out the body with the Ladybug Builder Punch and added it to the center of the Basic White circle. For the wings, I stamped the wing image with Sweet Sorbet onto Basic White cardstock and then stamped the dots image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the wings. I then punched it out with the Ladybug Builder Punch and added it to the back of the ladybug body. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Sweet Sorbet Classic ink onto the Basic White label and then layered it onto the Basic Black matte label. I wapped a piece of the Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine around the card front twice and tied a knot on the left side. I attached the sentiment label over the top of the twine with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and added the focal image above it with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added two of the Sweet Sorbet Pearls to the sentiment label to finish off the design. Isn't it just the cutest card? What do you think about Sweet Sorbet? Is it a yay or a nay color for you? I would love to know what you think. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qj5KsBnKbNs-dyEfUaIyWVvX57zAlyuk0LHKvNphXlxCiYrMWVzpYPnz2zTrBbtMp1UOEBC-ftMPpvW3RLpUt_zvsJNQRHqXOb6tpEVKlHSMOfFrBXuzfT5uNzpW4MqdnfwW0_7lH00WboKwitsvFCLtFn-7UteGYbLN3W6slbDtveNv97fggCd3CTMs/s1600/161645%202022-2024%20In%20Color%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qj5KsBnKbNs-dyEfUaIyWVvX57zAlyuk0LHKvNphXlxCiYrMWVzpYPnz2zTrBbtMp1UOEBC-ftMPpvW3RLpUt_zvsJNQRHqXOb6tpEVKlHSMOfFrBXuzfT5uNzpW4MqdnfwW0_7lH00WboKwitsvFCLtFn-7UteGYbLN3W6slbDtveNv97fggCd3CTMs/w400-h400/161645%202022-2024%20In%20Color%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I love how these products all coordinate to make it simple for you to mix and match to come up with your own unique designs. For my simple design, it is all about ink, paper and stamps and for my stepped up design, I added die cutting and designer series paper to take it to the next level. As you can see, I used elements from my simple card to create my stepped up card design. Both designs are a great way to create beautiful cards to send to the people we care about.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2BYp5HyCxUsxQf081cIX-bThQ5TJxUwsFL0Znugd9ovVyYgX_eTPBIFI7w2kRBX6aHp6PP_YWHJ63TpMZ3m-B1tzUxBBQt-HOVwjNhaIKmgpIJ14yqDAJXkPoP3ln2mS3yeBBSNHm0B11KXqfDD1tOpBAcNWK4ZG9SfSUMY1XSleii99_VFQk6QikIl7l/s3584/IMG_8611%20Painted%20Lavender%20Perennial%20Postage%20Card%20Simple%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I used Fresh Freesia cardstock as a matte layer to add a pop of color between the card base and the focal layer that helps tie everything together. To create my focal layer, I stamped the lavender using Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape Classic inks to create the different layers of color. As you can see, some of the florals have been stamped using 2nd Generation stamping to create depth and dimension and an almost watercolor look. For the stems, I stamped the image using Lost Lagoon Classic ink, lining it up with the bottom of the floral images. I stamped the sentiment and the small butterflies using Gorgeous Grape Classic ink to add a nice contrast with the softness of the lavender bouquet. To embellish the card, I added a Linen Thread bow and several of the beautiful Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to complete the card design. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9hhcao0knKFiZAomhDHOpCP0_SEjKbWTAMj6SJc7v01vQl39_0RDRjIyQEFRYOwh3pEpwLSjztH-_yrJ_sjw1D94vemjdFQQ9wiC5LjGbpX5Hkr_SPdUhDySWB4ec7oZN7RjUGktEJaP-2f7iZT5rE5JLkyuxTtCoe1j5y-gXNNO6fX95d51bpi7bqSZ/s4033/IMG_8596%20Painted%20Lavender%20Perennial%20Postage%20Card%20Set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3328" data-original-width="4033" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9hhcao0knKFiZAomhDHOpCP0_SEjKbWTAMj6SJc7v01vQl39_0RDRjIyQEFRYOwh3pEpwLSjztH-_yrJ_sjw1D94vemjdFQQ9wiC5LjGbpX5Hkr_SPdUhDySWB4ec7oZN7RjUGktEJaP-2f7iZT5rE5JLkyuxTtCoe1j5y-gXNNO6fX95d51bpi7bqSZ/w640-h528/IMG_8596%20Painted%20Lavender%20Perennial%20Postage%20Card%20Set.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my Stepped Up card design, I once again chose to use Crumb Cake cardstock for my card base. It is a wonderful neutral that works well with all the purples in this design. This time, I used one of the pretty designs from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my card front to add some wonderful texture and color to the background. I die cut the focal background using the Perennial Postage Dies from Basic White cardstock to use it to help make the Lavender Bouquet pop and attached it to the card front on the upper left side. To create the bouquet, I stamped three of the lavender sprays, 1 Fresh Freesia and 2 Highland Heather, onto Basic White cardstock to create a soft watercolor look. I then die cut these out with the coordinating die. I also stamped the stems using Lost Lagoon Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and die cut them out as well. In addition, I die cut 2 of the leaves die cuts from Lost Lagoon cardstock and 2 of the florals die cuts from Fresh Freesia cardstock to add some color and texture to the bouquet. To start with, I added the stems die cut so that it layered slightly over the bottom of the Basic White layer, ready to build the bouquet. I added the leaves and floral die cuts first to the Basic White layer and then added the stamped lavender, using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the tops while adhere the bases directly to the focal layer. Using a drop of Highland Heather Classic ink refill, I mixed it in with Clear Wink of Stella to color one of the Paper Butterfly Accents. Once dry, I attached it to the center of the bouquet with a Mini Glue Dot and embellished it with several of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Fresh Freesia Classic ink onto the Basic White sentiment label and added it to the bottom right corner of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card design, I added a Linen Thread bow to the stems of the bouquet. I love how both of these card designs turned out.

I love that the Hot Air Balloon Bundle had what I needed to create a fun design and I chose to use one of the designs from the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper to create the pattern for the balloon. The sentiment from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set fits perfectly on the coordinating die and made it easy to layer with the banner die. For the background, I chose to use the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the Tahitian Tide cardstock layer that I die cut out using the Perennial Postage Dies. I added some clouds to create the look of the sky and I love the contrast between the white clouds and the Tahitian Tide background. The banner label and basket for the balloon were die cut from Flirty Flamingo cardstock and I added a Tahitian Tide Baker's Twine bow and some Basic Rhinestones to finish off the design. Isn't this card so cute and fun? I think it would look great in a wide variety of colors so that you could personalize it to suit the person you are giving it to. Why not give it a try.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdQ68XWZqKk96SbB5Jbg5buJETxo40xBnAijgJstJfJufkPj770TmQjPwM1-oR34uV3B6zwmHGoG5XxvJZ-juUY192gmgHJvTjUbpOrTPR2T-Dfi0mexwNIUzk_WJJe0IxTlHKNXIOMnbAp2MF7g9NNu8iwrDvhzAXlmqlKPQuMYYFJh41Clt61ORa9S0Q/s1600/162747%20Lighter%20Than%20Air%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdQ68XWZqKk96SbB5Jbg5buJETxo40xBnAijgJstJfJufkPj770TmQjPwM1-oR34uV3B6zwmHGoG5XxvJZ-juUY192gmgHJvTjUbpOrTPR2T-Dfi0mexwNIUzk_WJJe0IxTlHKNXIOMnbAp2MF7g9NNu8iwrDvhzAXlmqlKPQuMYYFJh41Clt61ORa9S0Q/w400-h400/162747%20Lighter%20Than%20Air%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I also paired them with products from the Zoo Crew Suite Collection from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to create a fun and whimsical birthday card. To add some texture to the design, I used one of the designs from the 2022-2024 In Color 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper. I wanted to keep the design clean and simple and showcase how to create layers of color with this bold and pretty green.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Parakeet Party is the perfect color for the alligator and I used the Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends Combo Pack to color the image and add some subtle shading. I also used the Stampin' Blends Markers to add some color to the grass along with blending some Parakeet Party Classic ink onto the Parakeet Party cardstock to add some depth and texture to the die cuts. The adorable singing turtle is actually one of images in the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and I die cut it out with one of the coordinating dies from the Zany Zoo Dies. The sentiment label was die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies from Basic White cardstock and I stamped the sentiment and music notes images with Tuxedo Black ink onto the label. For the card front, I chose one of the designs from the 2022-2024 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, and I love how it adds texture to the background of the card. I added the label to the center of the card front and then layered the grass along the bottom of the label. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the alligator and turtle on top of the layer of grass to add some dimension to the card design. To finish off the card, I added several Silver Sequins for a subtle touch of bling. Don't you just love how cute this card is? So have I convinced you to give Parakeet Party a try on your next project. Let me know what you think.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5O4a6BVYKYSAFBy_KwbNinEz0tUdTYDgvEfdkEX1759riDkw0u9SgfV8zxnqE6x7mB5WieYk8GKRs7PcIqXD98HE1VH3PdAEo-bkQt-6iNiWGlqorsKf_YufHJ8hu12LuXCmEwBWpgHC68hg0VEC1otaq-AixnL7apVZsov-jwK5E7fUfAhXa3o2B4y9k/s1600/162973%20Junble%20Pals%20Dies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5O4a6BVYKYSAFBy_KwbNinEz0tUdTYDgvEfdkEX1759riDkw0u9SgfV8zxnqE6x7mB5WieYk8GKRs7PcIqXD98HE1VH3PdAEo-bkQt-6iNiWGlqorsKf_YufHJ8hu12LuXCmEwBWpgHC68hg0VEC1otaq-AixnL7apVZsov-jwK5E7fUfAhXa3o2B4y9k/w400-h400/162973%20Junble%20Pals%20Dies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Once I had the color intensity I was looking for, I blended Moody Mauve Classic ink with another Blending Brush, moving from the bottom up to the center, blending the two colors together in the middle to create the ombre look. I gently wiped the designer series paper to remove any ink on the Gold embossed hearts. For the sentiment label, I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold embossing powder onto Basic White cardstock and punched out the sentiment with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I took a piece of Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon and gently frayed both ends, leaving a section in the middle to apply adhesive to add it to the center of the card front. I added the sentiment label over the top of the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added several Moody Mauve hearts punched out with the Bee Builder Punch. To finish off the design, I added several Gold Pearls from the Festive Pearls to coordinate with the rest of the card design. I love how pretty this card looks and how simple it was to create. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLBd4Wk_fhZn5qT_krH9U_qDy0GwpJE1WN6INGd6dufr_UtCn7fOwxLXm_iBMy_xPUMYIw_wu32gL8JZ93zWTOITxlPqUr4EdeboEUwhsS4l0yIx19eglnzTshkndqgajjypzjuO8dFPSmSSgyNtLh4Nh3VNRyD_lTPAZxCvlcduxX0ELXPkWuLL2V51Pw/s1600/162976%20Most%20Adored%20Specialty%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLBd4Wk_fhZn5qT_krH9U_qDy0GwpJE1WN6INGd6dufr_UtCn7fOwxLXm_iBMy_xPUMYIw_wu32gL8JZ93zWTOITxlPqUr4EdeboEUwhsS4l0yIx19eglnzTshkndqgajjypzjuO8dFPSmSSgyNtLh4Nh3VNRyD_lTPAZxCvlcduxX0ELXPkWuLL2V51Pw/w400-h400/162976%20Most%20Adored%20Specialty%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

So for today's card design, I decided to combine the two together to create this beautiful tone on tone design. I chose to use my favorite color, Orchid Oasis, paired with Starry Sky and a touch of Silver to help step up the design. The background design has been dry embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder with Versamark applied to the inside of the folder and then embossed with Clear embossing powder to give that wonderful shine. I kept the design simple with just a sentiment added with Silver embossing to coordinate with the Silver Trim and Basic Rhinestone Jewels. I love the simple elegance of this card design and how it combines my favorite techniques into one design.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I started with a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock and I applied Versamark ink on the inside of the embossing folder on the side that has the Stampin' Up! logo printed on the front. I then carefully laid the cardstock on top of the Versamark ink inside the embossing folder and carefully closed it so the cardstock doesn't move. I then put the embossing folder through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine to do the dry embossing and transfer the Versamark ink to the background areas of the cardstock. After carefully removing the cardstock from the folder, I covered the embossed card front with Clear embossing powder and gently tapped off the excess before heating it with the Heat Tool. This creates a wonderful shine to the background and helps the floral design stand out. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the birthday image with Silver embossing powder onto a Starry Sky cardstock label and layered it onto a slightly larger label die cut from Orchid Oasis cardstock. To create the card design, I attached a piece of Silver Trim around the lower section of the card front and attached the sentiment label over the top with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added the card front to the Orchid Oasis layer and then added that layer to the Starry Sky card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To complete the card design, I added several Basic Rhinestone Jewels for a touch of bling. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIEbvXOM_rZBlT_CBGucb12uomOEgItyQ7KwFFjsB9BVN1GmnEPjnRzZjQ55NwpEu734LxBiw0l0OYCYjqZvCFe9gBk2mVCg_FLQcWYn7jLgVvENXc0kegVcA87jfLmLs7dwSQYOQRavJrtqgKQI0rvm-c2Jy6JUdowq-vQLr_inJErog7bzvzKU7Gr38/s1600/158763%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20stamp%20set.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyIEbvXOM_rZBlT_CBGucb12uomOEgItyQ7KwFFjsB9BVN1GmnEPjnRzZjQ55NwpEu734LxBiw0l0OYCYjqZvCFe9gBk2mVCg_FLQcWYn7jLgVvENXc0kegVcA87jfLmLs7dwSQYOQRavJrtqgKQI0rvm-c2Jy6JUdowq-vQLr_inJErog7bzvzKU7Gr38/w400-h400/158763%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20stamp%20set.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I chose to use the embossing folder from the Softly Sophisticated Bundle, which is a Level 2 Sale-a-bration Reward you can earn free with a qualifying $100 order. I love the delicate detail and texture this embossing folder adds to the background. The beautiful floral image is just one of the wonderful designs in the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and I love the variety of layering shapes in the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set, one of my favorite sentiment stamp sets because it has a wonderful range of sentiments in different sizes and fonts that works well for a variety of occasions.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This pretty card design is all about the layers to add depth and dimension to the design. I stamped the floral design onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in the image using Stampin' Blends Markers before die cutting it out with the coordinating die. I layered it onto a Very Vanilla cardstock label die cut with the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I then added it to the slightly larger Crumb Cake label die cut with same dies. The card front has been embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder and attached to the Crumb Cake card base. I added a piece of the Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon behind the Crumb Cake label in a zig zag and then attached the label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, towards the left side. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Go To Greetings stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto a Very Vanilla cardstock label and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added several Gold Sequins for a touch of bling. I love the soft and pretty look of this card design and how well these colors work together.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgZZzmFGziy6bc6WA6pQGzxV4-wNZC7o0qaOJM7-bVj8tB15gpPb7z3zeYm7UnJ85-3sb-Wf01pWDfMmlbyt8gP1XbvHuXZ-BTWJvZiUAZBNYjHTPc0g0EYhEelMRlPNmnA8K-KtUvdUzrmljy6OHW8tALJaTO2_tcd85WJ0BaD6cSjVW8iozqaM7-8Sv/s1600/158763%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20stamp%20set.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgZZzmFGziy6bc6WA6pQGzxV4-wNZC7o0qaOJM7-bVj8tB15gpPb7z3zeYm7UnJ85-3sb-Wf01pWDfMmlbyt8gP1XbvHuXZ-BTWJvZiUAZBNYjHTPc0g0EYhEelMRlPNmnA8K-KtUvdUzrmljy6OHW8tALJaTO2_tcd85WJ0BaD6cSjVW8iozqaM7-8Sv/w400-h400/158763%20Go%20To%20Greetings%20stamp%20set.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This fun masculine card design is easy to create and the hardest decisions will be what designer series paper to use for the background and what tools to use for the focal image. There are so many wonderful choices that you could create a variety of designs to have on hand. For this card design, I chose to use the Poppy Parade screwdriver background design for my card front and used Basic Gray cardstock for the card base to help make it pop. To create the focal image, I stamped the wrench, hammer and pencil images onto Smoky Slate cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the stamp images to "fill" in the images, using Lost Lagoon Classic ink for the wrench and the pencil and Poppy Parade Classic ink for the hammer. I used the Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Marker to enhance the shadows on the stamped images to add some depth and dimension. For the tape measure, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink and used the solid image with Lost Lagoon Classic ink to color the main part of the tape measure. To finish coloring the image, I used Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Marker for the inner circle and side and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Marker for the tape and button on the side. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images out as well as some nuts and bolts from Smoky Slate cardstock and the sentiment label from Basic Gray cardstock. To assemble the card design, I tied a piece of Gray Granite Baker's Twine around the center of the card front, wrapping it twice before tying a knot on the left side. I heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder and added it over the top of the twine with Stampin' Dimensionals, leave a gap along the top of the label so that I could slide the Basic White circle underneath. After attaching the circle, I added the tools so that the bottom of each piece is hidden underneath the sentiment label and I popped up the top of the wrench and the hammer with a Stampin' Dimensionals to add some dimension. I added the tape measure to the bottom right side of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals so that it slightly overlaps the sentiment label. To complete the card design, I added the nuts and screws as embellishments. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO5AoGb7tTpdoLuwtc_W38Vsd5PWseFFDjBMv3FySL71Q4GJiVAY8JDdzjt9BOTOcpsyyOEo37iaAdsO4oYRiB1EWlTMl_y-3Xv5blGAdQdbNO7hDmmQwP-vDg6_kCu52Ye2vhuhVG_6yJjEa3j36uWElsW_dTIB75euXbLImIkNPGSooa1HClR72GtQRX/s1600/162978%20Trusty%20Toolbox%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO5AoGb7tTpdoLuwtc_W38Vsd5PWseFFDjBMv3FySL71Q4GJiVAY8JDdzjt9BOTOcpsyyOEo37iaAdsO4oYRiB1EWlTMl_y-3Xv5blGAdQdbNO7hDmmQwP-vDg6_kCu52Ye2vhuhVG_6yJjEa3j36uWElsW_dTIB75euXbLImIkNPGSooa1HClR72GtQRX/w400-h400/162978%20Trusty%20Toolbox%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

We have been challenged to use 3-5 of the following colors: Misty Moonlight, Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam, Real Red and Pretty Peacock, to create our project. Our Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects to help inspire you to try this color challenge.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VPhIT6uesAlOmx4odaZUb5yYFti8WeXIvlRPA9mqAuVbGfpfWwcLRsWixn7Du73okxGqc1UBSEJ9KmrcMbdCvv0A-rMIefNi5k7Al9huld25Pdj8Ztq18LMY6Q31alGBWjzjoQbDBwqolLQkZrA7FgFH-fiMxAAfLBzitlBetyxT9afPgfcSYX_N97Yj/s1080/Stamping%20Inspirations%20February%202024%20Color%20Challenge%20image.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VPhIT6uesAlOmx4odaZUb5yYFti8WeXIvlRPA9mqAuVbGfpfWwcLRsWixn7Du73okxGqc1UBSEJ9KmrcMbdCvv0A-rMIefNi5k7Al9huld25Pdj8Ztq18LMY6Q31alGBWjzjoQbDBwqolLQkZrA7FgFH-fiMxAAfLBzitlBetyxT9afPgfcSYX_N97Yj/w400-h400/Stamping%20Inspirations%20February%202024%20Color%20Challenge%20image.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my design, I was able to use all five colors to create my card. I wanted to create a bright and cheerful design that would be perfect for Valentine's Day. I chose to use the Bee My Valentine Bundle to create my focal design and paired it with the Perennial Postage Dies to add a little extra detail. This is the first time I have used Lemon Lolly and I must admit, I was surprised at how bright this color is. I chose to use one of the designs from the Subtles 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper for the background to add some subtle texture.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For this card, I chose to create a clean and simple design with the focus being the cute little bee. I just love the Bee My Valentine Bundle and how versatile the Bee Builder Punch is. Rather than stamp the body with Lemon Lolly Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock, I chose to use Lemon Lolly cardstock and stamp the stripes and detail with Memento Tuxedo Black ink to make it pop. For the wings, I stamped them onto Vellum cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched them out with the large heart from the punch to get the wing shape. For the antenna, I stamped the image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and used the small heart on the punch to punch it out. I then attached the antenna and wings to the back of the bee body. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhloICBMXiQ_XfkigwxS95VLhxYKGLLlsnbOts4kkxwzB8I5H87l7n3DuZmAJNl1GCdxbc93s-AtLC3yffJX9rqnHoyXadnZeyyRB4aV7f5vbGVVaSQA76xC4PFHB7p_nG6CFTDyZ6kcMGP0e3Jh1CIUQsqcDZutukL8qBTb9UiigNGeqKe9wLKbHdC79n/s1600/162554%20Bee%20Mine%20Bundle.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhloICBMXiQ_XfkigwxS95VLhxYKGLLlsnbOts4kkxwzB8I5H87l7n3DuZmAJNl1GCdxbc93s-AtLC3yffJX9rqnHoyXadnZeyyRB4aV7f5vbGVVaSQA76xC4PFHB7p_nG6CFTDyZ6kcMGP0e3Jh1CIUQsqcDZutukL8qBTb9UiigNGeqKe9wLKbHdC79n/w400-h400/162554%20Bee%20Mine%20Bundle.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For the focal layer, I die cut the Basic White cardstock layer using the Perennial Postage Dies to add some detail to the panel. I stamped the flight trail, I stamped it at an angle with Memento ink and created the flower on the right side of the panel using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink for the stem and Pretty Peacock Classic ink stamped off once to stamp the flower. I layered the focal panel onto a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock to coordinate with the card base and provide some contrast against the Lemon Lolly Designer Series Paper background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder onto Real Red cardstock and die cut it with one of the dies from the Perennial Postage Dies and attached it to the bottom right corner of the panel. I also added two small Real Red hearts that I punched out using the Bee Builder Punch and added one to the body of the bee and the other just below the sentiment. For a touch of bling, I added several Gold Pearls from the Festive Pearls. Isn't this just the cutest card design? I love how it turned out and how well these colors worked together to create this design. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNR8YJ7YxWm4uuBdYa1qwYx2uSFSQElvS859blfpSGGs1tdbZVXsCZvy04Au2XV_q95BAaCLLsifkWoHyp23IvsouYLLYxMBa2iK6BaNAVNqwSB-1K-nqbtBR2Wzu2FVNxngfaHS2zi3rrOGgXamY8lwtaexjIjDjGI6VFFSStW5ywXUiFiqjs0ZOmZjt/s1600/162607%20Perennial%20Postage%20Dies.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNR8YJ7YxWm4uuBdYa1qwYx2uSFSQElvS859blfpSGGs1tdbZVXsCZvy04Au2XV_q95BAaCLLsifkWoHyp23IvsouYLLYxMBa2iK6BaNAVNqwSB-1K-nqbtBR2Wzu2FVNxngfaHS2zi3rrOGgXamY8lwtaexjIjDjGI6VFFSStW5ywXUiFiqjs0ZOmZjt/w400-h400/162607%20Perennial%20Postage%20Dies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today's card design is a wonderful combination of a variety of my favorite techniques. The focal image was created by heat embossing the large floral image onto Orchid Oasis cardstock using Clear embossing powder to create a beautiful tone on tone design. I love the subtle shine the embossing adds to the image. For the background, I used the small floral and the large leaves image to create the background design using Orchid Oasis Classic ink on Basic White cardstock. I added texture to the design using the texture images from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set, stamping off several times to create a lighter more subtle image. I then added some color around the edges using a Blending Brush to add blended color to the background. I layered this background layer onto a layer of Basic White cardstock and then attached it to the Orchid Oasis card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Orchid Oasis Classic ink onto a Basic White circle die cut using the new Everyday Details Dies and then layered it onto a Vellum cardstock circle that I die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To add a touch of color to the vellum layer, I gently added some Orchid Oasis Classic ink to the back of the circle using a Blending Brush to give it a hint of blue. I added a piece of the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon behind the sentiment to add some sparkle. I attached the focal image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added the sentiment label to the lower left corner, also using Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the design, I added several Orchid Oasis Pearls for a touch of bling. I am so happy with how this card design turned out and all the wonderful layers of color that help bring this design to life. Can you see why I love Orchid Oasis? How could you not love this gorgeous color?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMhmT41oCnuv5XWzsNuqCkYP0q7JmpMnP_nruUyaTq7B6mJghqCwqbTKotJQbOXKF-sc1pkauBPfQytvbF-XoM2BMAb0QfjojUgyQ9KJbnwBWGToP0WPBbPMpfDguSNjXEMlukJLuXdbI6eSg9oAPoFaw2u7pd_lyyxz1fOECIx7ZTOSZFVaKQe9o-_VL/s1600/162953%20Detailed%20Dogwood%20stamp%20set.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMhmT41oCnuv5XWzsNuqCkYP0q7JmpMnP_nruUyaTq7B6mJghqCwqbTKotJQbOXKF-sc1pkauBPfQytvbF-XoM2BMAb0QfjojUgyQ9KJbnwBWGToP0WPBbPMpfDguSNjXEMlukJLuXdbI6eSg9oAPoFaw2u7pd_lyyxz1fOECIx7ZTOSZFVaKQe9o-_VL/w400-h400/162953%20Detailed%20Dogwood%20stamp%20set.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I love that these products give me the chance to be creative without having to prep and come up with a design from scratch. There are so many wonderful designs to choose from and everything coordinates to take the stress out of creating a beautiful card design. With just a little embellishing, I was able to create a fun clean and simple card that will hopefully brighten someone's day and make them feel special. Stampin' Up! has just added some new products available to earn free during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order and the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes are one of the products you can earn free with a qualifying $50 order. Just make sure to use the special code to redeem this product for free. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMF0LgasXIt9EgOWFsXwiHzSfqKu9OmZ5oxWfBV-svTyEt-DCuRc_sDweEQrTNB0lLgnnWTm9WToIrYEKVo7EIwSLzLSVWhtAgcxXe7gBWonjMVK6diLG6JAiQ92pElqY8FX0Gxd2c78tBBYkkO22Dtp6MjKxxoYOSyXPmYvV8PvU69HZCtIDT_NyJSoRK/s3500/IMG_8045%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20and%20More%20Love%20You%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is such an easy card design to create and the supplies in the Sweet Thoughts Card Pack provide so many creative options. For this card design, I chose the Pretty Peacock card base and then chose the butterfly 3"x4" card design for my focal image. I added a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to create a mat for the focal layer to help make it pop against the card base. To embellish the card design, I tied a piece of Flirty Flamingo Baker's Twine around the base of the focal layer and tied a bow on the left side. I then attached the layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Using one of the flower stickers from the card pack, I added it to the bottom right corner of the focal layer with a Stampin' Dimensional and added a Basic Rhinestone to the center of the flower. I also added some Basic Rhinestones to the center of the butterfly to add a little more bling to the design. The result is a pretty clean and simple card design that was easy to assemble and needed just a few supplies to complete. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcvHzndb-O1xf3-h3G4UfGs5Ofvntt_JprRSA25vmXYBjqagTN85oLw3wuMfCr5LV3vvGWaJIXFMbtf0CDfywLqTHJQY4LxSKon0x8B7-E6oYk364os203MoHAd0wyAaDwgSMtIJEHrvcCOH2g3wZ2cLk2O_0LdlpxuGS5ir1EUIXNYidkmznFBwgWFZs/s1600/162931%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20&%20More%20Cards%20&%20Envelopes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcvHzndb-O1xf3-h3G4UfGs5Ofvntt_JprRSA25vmXYBjqagTN85oLw3wuMfCr5LV3vvGWaJIXFMbtf0CDfywLqTHJQY4LxSKon0x8B7-E6oYk364os203MoHAd0wyAaDwgSMtIJEHrvcCOH2g3wZ2cLk2O_0LdlpxuGS5ir1EUIXNYidkmznFBwgWFZs/w400-h400/162931%20Sweet%20Thoughts%20Memories%20&%20More%20Cards%20&%20Envelopes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For today's card design, I chose to use the cute beaver image holding a stick heart. I thought it would be a sweet focal image for my Valentine's card. I also used the nest image to help ground him inside the Basic White circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies. I colored the images with Stampin' Blends Markers and added the images to the circle using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. I used a larger Crumb Cake deckled circle to frame the focal circle and I sponged the edge of the circle with Crumb Cake Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder onto Basic White cardstock and used the Perennial Postage Dies to die cut it out. I layered it onto the slightly larger Crumb Cake label, which also has the edges sponged with Crumb Cake Classic ink. Using Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine, I wrapped a piece around the card front twice and tied a bow on the left side. I added the sentiment over the top of the twine with Stampin' Dimensionals and attached the focal image above the sentiment, making sure to center both of them. To finish off the design, I added a red heart from the Adhesive Backed Hearts & Flowers to complete the design. I had so much fun creating this sweet card design and hope it will help bring a smile to someone special. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifDpjt9cN2DRvuaraby62k0UtbVQ4CR5e5RuJ61uxmMzLpMSIJX0MGnBOHA9mdIcsyOGGGRdCPWXcdnFbs-fcXaUzrKqClXmLFThKfFAHsuQ01We84-w1lrGbb3PLQnrLDAuD5fMweyhVM9ch4tj8Ss3Pz9N0ryaWlQkhJrF7KkHWkzLQp18gaWBykI8zD/s1600/162976%20Most%20Adored%20Specialty%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifDpjt9cN2DRvuaraby62k0UtbVQ4CR5e5RuJ61uxmMzLpMSIJX0MGnBOHA9mdIcsyOGGGRdCPWXcdnFbs-fcXaUzrKqClXmLFThKfFAHsuQ01We84-w1lrGbb3PLQnrLDAuD5fMweyhVM9ch4tj8Ss3Pz9N0ryaWlQkhJrF7KkHWkzLQp18gaWBykI8zD/w400-h400/162976%20Most%20Adored%20Specialty%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I used the Aspen Trees Dies to create the silhouette background and used Very Vanilla cardstock as the contrast for this card design. I used Gold accents to help lift the design and add a touch of elegance. The bird image has been colored using a Blender Pen and Pebbled Path Classic ink to give the look and texture of feathers. The sentiment label was created with my favorite Tailor Made Tags Dies to complete the design. This design would work well for so many occasions and would be a great masculine card design.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I love the contrast between the Pebbled Path and Very Vanilla layers and the hints of Gold just help add that little sparkle that completes the design. The detailed die cut layer makes a great background silhouette. For the bird, I stamped the image with Pebbled Path Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and colored the image using a Blender Pen with Pebbled Path Classic ink to give the look and texture of feathers. To add some texture to the die cut layer, I blended Pebble Path Classic ink around the edges and over sections of the trees using a Blending Brush. I then stamped a speckled background on several sections of this layer with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder to give the appearance of falling snow. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto the Very Vanilla tag label with Gold embossing powder and layered it with a Pebbled Path tag, slightly off setting them at an angle. I added a piece of Gold Trim to the sentiment tag to coordinate with the Gold embossing. For a touch of bling, I added several Gold Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins to finish off the design. So, what do you think? Have I convinced you to give Pebbled Path a try? I would love to hear what you think about his wonderful neutral color.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5awDbjxHEe-Qr7bGGzWN6rRuwsFgLZBusU5aNU5ETFyudSFtt2M7ewbo-gRoAqiMxktR9SVKBFyZkIkwKF6BVe5lSOAjt9CzCYCuHnm4xiaUfsrSUIv2Zh4rbko7TVtAEMO_rINpmSGLpErBgRig1KHR5rBsu-wu4sEjkEtwSXeXBINg7fTxDN9NzH8Gv/s1600/159798%20Aspen%20Trees%20Dies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5awDbjxHEe-Qr7bGGzWN6rRuwsFgLZBusU5aNU5ETFyudSFtt2M7ewbo-gRoAqiMxktR9SVKBFyZkIkwKF6BVe5lSOAjt9CzCYCuHnm4xiaUfsrSUIv2Zh4rbko7TVtAEMO_rINpmSGLpErBgRig1KHR5rBsu-wu4sEjkEtwSXeXBINg7fTxDN9NzH8Gv/w400-h400/159798%20Aspen%20Trees%20Dies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

I love the beautiful design from the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper, a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward you can earn Free with a qualifying $50 order. It makes the perfect background for this sweet card design. For my focal design, I chose to use the cute bunny from the Fluffiest Friends Bundle, which can be found in the Online Exclusives in my Online store. There are several images in this bundle that would work well for this card design. The Perennial Postage Dies add detail to the focal layer and gives the appearance of a postage stamp. I don't know how anyone can resist this adorable bunny with his little cupcake treat. </span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9vTN2D91Yl2ofxZ1r14rmxfcO4EbYzeXXwWibeD-bo8_i6hwHnSgyRqQz_Nos7KVLla9qYzWt0uWGfV-AsU-CyzkHVJTdHS7ZZ-w-K1hIRvCZ9MrC5U8r0Mu2m_QY2b1-G-bIS59zyyle0wDBMoXV7y-zB6qu0NmdPallb2dmxt6w-apBVsjFTdAg1C5j/s3596/IMG_7853%20Fluffiest%20Friends%20Heartfelt%20Hexagon%20Most%20Adored%20Card.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love the color combination for this card design that I took from the designer series paper background. I chose Real Red cardstock for the card base and mat layer for the focal image to help make it pop against the background. I colored the bunny image with Stampin' Blends Markers to bring him to life. I added the Flirty Flamingo heart die cut with the Radiating Dies, which were also used to die cut the Real Red layer. The stitched detail on both adds texture to the design. For embellishments, I chose to use the pretty Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon which is a wonderful match for the background color of the designer series paper and for a touch of bling, I added some simple Basic Rhinestone Jewels. To add depth and dimension to the design. I popped up the focal layer and the bunny with Stampin' Dimensionals. This sweet card design is sure to make someone smile when they receive it.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdfdABwwgaBqU-QWEeJBBW8QlvPQS7sZrZaxt_pydABWwlEaQc-KAJCfZ2UchPHkGk4HYuZJXo1hgkjAacCZS6PTm6uCOeRWJlJGK8Z0HHlaXKfDVA-kc4eSTGvN3xjN_qMJEMx6pYrOItXgKcmj3Z0Q8cLkIOEx3ooJ13irMC0jH2zF9oChhNAN6CwDRC/s1600/162976%20Most%20Adored%20Specialty%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdfdABwwgaBqU-QWEeJBBW8QlvPQS7sZrZaxt_pydABWwlEaQc-KAJCfZ2UchPHkGk4HYuZJXo1hgkjAacCZS6PTm6uCOeRWJlJGK8Z0HHlaXKfDVA-kc4eSTGvN3xjN_qMJEMx6pYrOItXgKcmj3Z0Q8cLkIOEx3ooJ13irMC0jH2zF9oChhNAN6CwDRC/w400-h400/162976%20Most%20Adored%20Specialty%20Designer%20Series%20Paper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

The only additions are some scraps of cardstock, one of the beautiful Paper Butterfly Accents and the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems from the coordinating Perennial Lavender Suite Collection. This simple Easel card design, uses one of the Crumb Cake card bases, along with some of the elements from the kit and I also used the new Love of Spring Dies for the sentiment label. This die set is the new add-on that coordinates with the January, February and March Paper Pumpkin Kits and is available while supplies last. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I then scored the center panel at 2 1/8" and folded along the score line to create a mountain fold. I attached the two side panels to the bottom of the card base with adhesive and then added the decorative panels that I created by layering the purple strips from the kit onto strips of Basic White cardstock. For the focal panel, I took the purple decorative tag from the kit and adhered the bottom section to the bottom section of the center panel, making sure to not add any adhesive above the score line. For the butterfly die cut, I used Clear Wink of Stella with a drop of Highland Heather ink refill mixed together to create a watercolor wash look with soft shimmer to the die cut. I attached the butterfly to the 1 3/4" Highland Heather circle and then attached the Lost Lagoon leaves to the right top side, adhering them to the back of the circle. I then added the circle to the tag panel with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the exclusive stamp set with Silver embossing powder onto Highland Heather cardstock and then die cut it out using one of the dies from the Love of Spring Dies. I attached the sentiment label to the center of the bottom of the card base, to create the stopper for the center panel. To finish off the design, I added several of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to add some pretty bling to the design. Isn't this a beautiful way to step up the designs in this card kit?</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhZ_9Nuox1OnI4j4zXv2Mw0scEWJKnuCCOpjpbVNhKwXTyRy5TNgmGxn9KgWGFGrKf9-sqztFv2NuBM7Eru7OcbdrKBtoYmmDR_AD034NA-NFe2cVE53QceXD0Su6vV8QpsCzZdd5QadO_3Qi2oZgerM5ra7TaxX3X0mMPR46v5TABo6iumR3b-GhGkEp/s1600/162611%20Purple%20Fine%20Shimmer%20Gems.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEhZ_9Nuox1OnI4j4zXv2Mw0scEWJKnuCCOpjpbVNhKwXTyRy5TNgmGxn9KgWGFGrKf9-sqztFv2NuBM7Eru7OcbdrKBtoYmmDR_AD034NA-NFe2cVE53QceXD0Su6vV8QpsCzZdd5QadO_3Qi2oZgerM5ra7TaxX3X0mMPR46v5TABo6iumR3b-GhGkEp/w400-h400/162611%20Purple%20Fine%20Shimmer%20Gems.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love collage stamping using a variety of images and the Detailed Dogwood stamp set has a lovely variety of images to help create texture and detail into the design. For additional images, I used the Notes of Nature stamp set, which coordinates beautifully with this stamp set. To get the variety of shades from the one ink pad, I stamped the images full strength, second and even third generation to give the look of lighter and darker tones. I used the Perennial Postage Dies to add coordinating detail around the card front, focal layer and the sentiment and I gently blended Moody Mauve ink around the edges of each layer to add dimension. For the focal image, I heat embossed one of the floral images with White embossing powder onto the Moody Mauve cardstock layer. I stamped the sentiment with Moody Mauve Classic ink onto the Basic White sentiment label. To assemble the card, I attached the focal layer first with Stampin' Dimensionals to the card front and then added the sentiment layer, slightly overlapping the bottom right corner of the focal layer. To step up the design, I added some Moody Mauve Jute Trim, separating a couple of strands and tying it into a bow, before attaching it to the sentiment with a Mini Glue Dot. To finish off the design, I added several gold dragonflies to a touch of bling. I had so much fun creating this beautiful card design using Moody Mauve. I hope it inspires you to give this pretty color a try with your own projects.</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6MBagJIYIAwfZ9hi5Oukdk2PmhB5RmxxcbyNxEx7k2ulq2vAvvGeMcvX7Rpwi-AwH566rAN4NsxFQjjMShaE5_gPutIQblTLZLFjXNWR4wLSYUxHF6o8HD5StLEGAzuYByilJUwo5gqx4MCNkSFNq1gTWShV_ntdEik0-vVTiIZkaswS-SIP4ikc6yeR/s1600/162608%20Perennial%20Postage%20Bundle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6MBagJIYIAwfZ9hi5Oukdk2PmhB5RmxxcbyNxEx7k2ulq2vAvvGeMcvX7Rpwi-AwH566rAN4NsxFQjjMShaE5_gPutIQblTLZLFjXNWR4wLSYUxHF6o8HD5StLEGAzuYByilJUwo5gqx4MCNkSFNq1gTWShV_ntdEik0-vVTiIZkaswS-SIP4ikc6yeR/w400-h400/162608%20Perennial%20Postage%20Bundle.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
