Hi and welcome! Today’s card features the Varied Vases Photopolymer stamp set and matching Vases Builder Punch.

It is so sweet with those trailing blooms and I’m sure will be received with delight! To get those flowers and vases placed just right, I used a post-it note to cover the designer paper while stamping the flower images.

Today’s card is something a little different from my usual style. I did a little stamp spritzing for this one.

So, I inked up the flowers from the A Little Lace cling stamp set and then used the Stampin’ Spritzer on the stamp before applying it to the paper. I used Calypso Coral and Blueberry Bushel inks for this.

TIP: Definitely used Shimmery White cardstock for this technique as it take water well and doesn’t pill.

Then, that imaged need a frame so I used two of the Stitched Rectangle dies to make the Calypso Coral frame and adhered it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To keep the colour the same, I used a piece of Shimmery White to create the card base as well.

Here’s the list of products used.

A Little Lace Cling Stamp Set [149364] $29.00	Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set [146644] $33.00	Blueberry Bushel 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146968] $11.50	Calypso Coral 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [122925] $12.00

Hello and welcome! I’ve been thinking of my Dad a lot lately (we lost him a few years ago) and was inspired to create this card.

I pulled out the simple A Good Man cling stamp set for this and, to follow along with The Paper Players challenge, kept it clean and simple. My Dad was a tall man, 6’6″ so whenever he picked me up I felt that I could see for miles! And, yes, I once had red hair, lol.

Here’s the list of products used. It’s a long one as I used many different colours of Stampin’ Blend Markers.

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!
