Get out your "blues" for this card....

It's been raining for 2 days over here, so its a perfect time to clean and stamp. :)  I was working outside early in the week trying to get a lot of the yard work done, so I am welcoming the rain now.

Today I am sharing a card I made for the Colour Me Card Challenge.  Here's the challenge:
The colors are: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point and Tempting Turquoise.  And here's the card I made. UPDATED PICTURES:

I used the Mixed Bunch stamp set and stamped one flower with Pacific Point ink onto a Tempting Turquoise cardstock and another flower with Bermuda Bay ink onto Coastal Cabana cardstock.


My sister-in-laws birthday was on Earth Day, and I missed it.  As a result, I used my Remembering Your Birthday stamp set to make this into a belated birthday card. :)  Sadly, Stampin' UP! is retiring all the Core'dinations cardstock. Here, I used a piece of Coastal Cabana Core'dinations cardstock and ran it thru my Honeycomb embossing folder and then sanded it down a bit. I also stamped White craft ink onto a piece of Vellum cardstock using an image from the Mosaic Madness stamp set to create my own background paper. I used my Word Bubble Dies ......so much fun!


To finish off the card, I added different sized flags in all the challenge colors and wrapped them up with a piece of Coastal Cabana DSP and White Bakers Twine.  A fun card to make!  

Thanks for stopping by and 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...
