Aren’t they just the cutest birds ever?! They are so easy to colour a look great sitting on that branch!

Hi there and thank you for stopping in for a visit. I went to an Aqua Painter for today’s amazing card.

The Band Together Bundle supplied those bright flowers and leaves. It has some amazing greetings as well and I’ll probably be using them a lot on projects.

The flowers and leaves were coloured with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green and I used the matching Stampin’ Write Markers to add the extra shading.

TIP 1: To watercolour, I recommend starting with Shimmery White cardstock. It holds the colour better and doesn’t “pill”.

TIP 2: The Tear & Tape adhesive is great for adhering a “heavy” piece to your card base.

Sometimes you just need to send a thinking of you card off to someone who needs to hear from you. Today’s card should make that person happy!

It’s a study in soft blues with the combination of the new InColour Seaside Spray and an “old” InColour of Blueberry Bushel.

I downloaded the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches this week for the layout inspiration and pulled out Woven Heirlooms and Butterfly Gala for the focal points.

The butterflies were stamped onto a scrap piece of Woven Threads designer paper and then cut out with the matching punch. I used the very handy Take Your Pick tool to place them just so on the card. Make sure to check out this tool, it has many uses!

Here’s the list of products for you.

Woven Heirlooms Cling Stamp Set [149306] $33.00	Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set [148580] $27.00	Seaside Spray 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [150883] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25

This Tuesday card is the definition of cheerful with it’s bright colours!

I had fun making a mess with the Stampin’ Up! Pigment Sprinkles for sure! There is an assortment of colours to choose from and I went for Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape for this one! They were are sprinkled onto Shimmery White cardstock and then I used the Stampin’ Spritzer to really bring on the colours! Messy for sure, so make sure to cover your work surface with a layer of paper towels!!

The simple card layout comes from CAS(E) this sketch which is perfect for showing off those cheerful colours.

Do you have a special friend that sticks by you through thick and thin? A Friend-A-Saurus so to speak? Why not send them a really cute card with a couple of friend-a-saurus’s right on the front!

I really like dinosaurs and had a ton of fun creating this cutie with the Dino Days Bundle and matching designer paper. To make the greeting stand out a little more, I sponged a bit of Old Olive ink directly onto the stamp and then cut it at an angle with the Layering Ovals dies.

Have you ever wondered what the true meaning of friendship is? Wonder no more – the Praiseworthy Prose Cling stamp set can help by adding the definition and I used it for today’s card!

Of course, when one is thinking of a friend, why not add some beautiful flowers! I had these magnolias stamped and waiting for some ink, so coloured them with our Stampin’ Blends and placed them just so. There was also a piece of “lace” sitting on my table and I decided that it would be the perfect backdrop for that lovely greeting! I really love the purple theme on this card!

A LITTLE LACE BUNDLE

Today I’m introducing the A Little Lace bundle with this bright and sunny card.

Isn’t it pretty? You can find this bundle on page 42 (151103) of the new annual catalogue.

The lace die makes the perfect background but I recommend that you use a shim of cardstock to make sure that all of those tiny holes come out easily.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the image in Smoky Slate and the over-stamped it with Versamark so it could be heat set with Clear Emboss Powder. Then I went to work with ink pads and an Aqua Painter.

This was all to play along with The Paper Players Colour Challenge.

Here’s the full list of products used. Click on the product you are interested in and go directly to my Online Store.

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

~~~Connie~~~

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
