SSC116: Sneak Peak of What I Love

Happy Sunday! It's time for another fun challenge at Sunday Stamps! and I have a SNEAK PEAK to share with you. This beautiful Sale-a-bration stamp set is called "What I Love" and will be available for you to earn for FREE with a $50 purchase starting January 5, 2016.

This is considered a two-step stamp set, but actually it is a three-step stamp set. It was so fun and easy to create this card! I did not even line up the images. I just stamped them! It makes beautiful flowers and has a whimsical style with a matching font.

My design layout is based on the following NEW challenge at Sunday Stamps!.

I decided to literally make the flowers into a strip across the front of the card. The colors I used to create the flowers are: Blackberry Bliss and Calypso Coral ink. The leaves were stamped using Old Olive ink.

I stamped a row of flowers across my white panel, and then went back and added 3 more on to the top using Dimensionals. I also added some splatter from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and a strip of Blackberry Bliss washi tape to the top using the 2014-2016 In Color Designer Washi Tape collection which can be found on page 157 of the annual catalog.

How did I create the flowers?

I first stamped the smallest image of the flower in Blackberry Bliss onto a scratch piece of paper before stamping on my white panel. Next, I stamped the larger flower image using Calypso Coral ink -again stamping onto scratch paper before stamping on my white panel. Lastly, the outlined image of the flower was stamped full strength in Blackberry Bliss ink. A very soft and elegant look.

Here's a picture of the 3 step process:

For this card, I stamped the flower images withou worrying about perfect allignment. You can line them up perfectly if you want to. I just think it isn't necessary given the watercolor look of the stamp set. :)

Okay, now aren't you getting excited for Sale-a-bration to start??? I know I am! I can't wait to create and share with my friends and customers! Okay, so now that you've seen my SNEAK PEAK share, please head over to the other Sunday Stamps! designers and check out their creations and then join us!

Thanks for stopping by! Contact me if you would like to set up a workshop or stamping event during Sale-a-bration! I would love to share my stamping ideas with you!

Happy Stamping!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

Happy Sunday! Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :) I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! The Impressions a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set. Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in! And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom . For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo! I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge. For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears . This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous. For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
