SINGING IN THE RAIN

February 17, 2020

Well, it’s not raining up here but I am trying to sing a happy song after being sick with a very nasty cold virus this past week! That sucker “is a mean one, Mr. Grinch!”

I did find time thought to make this simple card that uses of piece of the Pleased As Punch designer series paper(153558). There are some very pretty images in this package that coordinate really well with the Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Mini Catalogue items.

The Masking Technique helped with the greeting and was fun to put together!

IT’S AN ADVENTURE

Life is an adventure and especially so when riding in an ATV! Today’s card was created with the Pedal to the Metal cling stamp set and there’s several great images to colour for the adventure lover in your life!

I followed along with this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and wanted the ATV to stand out, so why not red! It’s an adventure after all!

I really wanted to use a piece of the whisper white flax ribbon but it needed to blend in with the colours. So, I used the Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend to colour it.

Here’s the list of products used. If you haven’t checked out the Pedal to the Metal stamp set, just click on the picture to go directly to my Website.

Today’s card features the Sending You Thoughts Sale-A-Bration stamp set for a sensational you card.

I love all of the sentiments in this stamp set and did a little fancy masking to get the sentiment just the way I wanted it! This card is filled with love and that is why I’m posting on The Paper Players “Love is in the Air” challenge.

The “another year of sensational you” is all one stamp, so I used scotch tape to mask off the words to make it easier to separate them for the card layout. If you try this, make certain to clean the stamp after every use!

Here’s the list of products used.

Sending You Thoughts Cling Stamp Set (English) [152297] $0.00	Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [102482] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper [151189] $20.00

Today’s card features a beautiful greeting from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and some soft and lovely flowers.

I love that greeting, it is perfect for an upcoming birthday! I had previously stamped the flower spray and pulled it out of my UFP tray (unfinished projects) for this card.

It works perfectly with the new CAS(E) this sketch layout.

I chose the softness of So Saffron for the flowers with a little touch of Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. They make a good contrast to the background designer paper from the Perennial Essence pack!

Honey is the key for today’s card. And bees, a busy hive of honey bees!

The Honey Bee bundle(153792) is so sweet(pun intended) and so much fun to create with! Especially when you add the Golden Honey specialty designer paper! You can see it peeking through the honeycombs and it is a Free choice from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue – a win-win for the bees!

Where did I get the idea for this card? From The Paper Players sketch of course.

Here’s the list of products used. And if you would like, purchase the Honey Bee bundle and then choose the Golden Honey designer paper to complete your bee hive.

TULIPS MAKE ME HAPPY

Tulips, in my opinion, are one of the happiest flowers because they announce spring! Spring is a couple of months away for us so I started my own happy arrival of spring with this card!

This was created with the Timeless Tulips Bundle(153793) and the “coming to you soon” Pleased As Punch designer paper! Each strip was cut to 1/4″ wide and glued down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Once they were all in place, I used Paper Snips to trim the ends.

This card also uses the new CAS(E) this sketch layout(you might remember yesterday’s card here).

Here’s the short list of products used.

Timeless Tulips Bundle (English) [153793] $42.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper [153558] $15.75

Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals [144108] $5.50	Mini Glue Dots [103683] $7.25	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00	Take Your Pick [144107] $14.00

I wish you a welcome and wonderful Wednesday and Happy Stamping!

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.

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!
