LIFE’S GARDEN

June 26, 2020

Wow, it’s Friday already! I’m looking forward to doing a little work in my flower garden over the weekend. We’ve had a ton of rain up here so the weeds have taken off! Since I’ve been thinking of gardens, I pulled out the Grace’s Garden photopolymer stamp set(151513) and got to work.

This stamp set is full of beautiful images and lends itself very well to colouring. So a large assortment of Stampin’ Blends to the rescue! I “cased” this card according to the photo on page 87 of the Annual Catalogue. The matching Garden Gateway dies(151512) are a must when using this stamp set!

Here’s the list of all of the products used.

Hi and welcome! Today, I’m playing with the Tasteful Touches Bundle for a clean and simple card.

The combination of the Tasteful Touches stamp set and matching Tasteful Labels dies makes it easy to create a lovely card! (Get 10% off by purchasing the Bundle) Since the dies focus on labels only, fussy-cutting is needed for those pretty flowers done in the new InColour, Bumblebee. Of course, I had to use it’s partner Just Jade for the sentiment and amped it up with an overlay of Versamark and Clear Emboss powder!

The card layout is courtesy of the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

Here’s the list of products used.

I’m feeling a little nostalgic today so am posting this card that I created with the Beautiful Moments stamp set.

I’m calling this Sweet Girls as it reminds me of my daughters who loved to dig and play so a little dirt was part of the game, lol.

I used a combination of Poppy Parade and Balmy Blue and coloured their hair with the So Saffron Blends. This is another beautiful image from the Beautiful Moments stamp set(151677) and probably my most favourite!

Hi and welcome. Today is another card showing yet another beautiful image from the Beautiful Moments stamp set(151677).

When the sun is shining it’s time to pour a cocktail, don’t you think? It’s also a great time to break out the Nothings Better Than stamp set(152507) and matching Love you More Than dies(152698).

And, when you do, you get this bright and cheery cocktail kind of card! I used a piece of the Playing with Patterns DSP for the the background to highlight those delicious looking cocktails.

Each glass was stamped with our Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then I added the different lemonade flavours. Stampin’ Write markers were used to colour the lemon wedges and umbrellas to finish off this fun card.

Hi, I’m going to end this week with a look at the In Good Taste Suite. When a new catalogue comes out, I frequently CASE(copy and share everything) a card and today’s shows off the In Good Taste Suite(154147).

I started off with a card base of Petal Pink and then cut a piece of the In Good Taste designer paper. The image was stamped randomly in Versamark and then sprinkled with White Emboss Powder. All that was need then was to heat set it and adhere it to the card base.

That great shape was cut with the matching Tasteful Labels dies stamped with a great sentiment. To get the tiny circles I used a 1/8″ hand-held circle punch and adhered them with the Fine-Tip Glue pen. You can find the cased card on page 122!

SHADES OF BROWN

It may seem strange to use browns in the springtime, but spring colours come in many shades and brown is just one of them!

I’m happy to say that the Forever Blossoms stamp set and matching dies are staying around for another year – BUT – purchase them now as a bundle and save 10%. I pulled a piece of the retiring Magnolia Lane designer paper for the background and added that touch of Blushing Bride for a light pop of colour.

The branch of lovely blossoms was first stamped with Early Espresso and then over-stamped with Versamark, sprinkled with Clear Emboss powder and heat set! I did the same with that beautiful greeting from the new Tasteful Textures stamp set. I also used the Tasteful Textures embossing folder for the card base.

SUO Challenges latest challenge is a designer’s choice so I’m playing along with today’s card. I am also playing along with Colour INKspiration for the colour challenge.

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!
