AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, crafty friends.  I made another creation using the adorable Falling Flowers stamp set and May Flowers Framelits bundle.  For this card, I followed the color challenge at Just Add Ink.  This is such a fun bundle!  So many possibilities! For this card, I embossed all of the images in white and then die cut them out.  The flower center of the largest flower and the second largest flower were stamped in white on white cardstock, and then colored with ink refills and my aqua painter.  The remaining images were embossed in white on colored cardstock.  The white front panel was embossed with the Seaside embossing folder , and I cut a scalloped circle out of it using the new  Layering Circles Framelits .  I used two different stamp sets for the sentiments. The "sweet friend" is from the Thoughtful Banners , and the "a happy hello" is from Tin of Cards stamp sets. Product List: STAMPS : Falling Flowers (139556), Though...

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am sharing a fun card I made following the color challenge at Color Throwdown.  Here's the challenge: Some super fun, and bright summer colors for this weeks challenge.  The colors are stated as: red raspberry, hot pink, lime green and bright yellow. Here's what I came up with using: Raspberry Ripple, Melon Mambo, Cucumber Crush and Daffodil Delight Stampin' UP! ink colors. I started out by white washing a piece of Thick Whisper White Cardstock with Cucumber Crush and Daffodil Delight ink refills.  I then heat set it, and flicked (like my professional word?) Raspberry Ripple droplets randomly onto it.  I, then heat set it again.  I was then ready to stamp my images using Basic Black ink.  This is the Falling Flowers stamp set. , and the sentiment is from the Love & Affection stamp set. I then cut three of the largest flowers from the May Flowers Framelits in Raspberry Ripple, Melon Mambo and Da...

Hello!  I have a quick post to share today. It's our daughter's birthday today and I am sharing the card I made for her using the Marquee Messages stamp set.  When she was little, her favorite color was green, but now its blue.  So, had to use the new In Color: Dapper Denim and its complimentary color: Soft Sky. As you can see, I am having fun with the Marquee Messages stamp set! And of course I had to use other new fun stuff on her card- namely the Festive embossing folder (141471), and the Fiesta Time Framelits (141475) which are the cool banner streams and flags at the top of the card. The number "19" is from the Little Numbers Framelits set which is now retired.  The Marquee Messages stamp set was embossed in Silver embossing powder, and pieced together.  I used  Dimensionals under the fun arrow. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello, crafty friends! Today's card share features the Marquee Messages stamp set dressed in new In Color inks and homemade DSP made using the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set. Colors are: Peekaboo Peach , Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo .  As my stamping friends know, limiting yourself to using 2-3 colors on a card usually results in fabulousness!:)     The Marquee Messages stamp set is photopolymer so its easy to stamp the words exactly where you want them.  There are 16 images in this stamp set and the set contains phrases perfect for finishing the inside of the card too!  So I would say this stamp set is even more fabulousness- HA!

Hello.  Today, I am sharing the last CAS card I made for my thank you gift set. I love this adorable pineapple!  It looks fabulous embossed in gold.  Again, I used a different image from the Pop of Paradise stamp set and a different piece of washi tape from the Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape pack.  There a cute little hearts on this tape, so I just had to add some pink sequin hearts to match.  The base of the card is Kraft cardstock.  Again, I wanted to add another layer behind the white panel, but kept it CAS. And here are the 3 different CAS cards together: Here are the products I used to create my cards: Supplies: Pop of Paradise (141581) Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape (141649) Basic Black ink (140931), Melon Mambo ink (126948), and Versamark ink (102283) Kraft cardstock (133674), and Melon Mambo cardstock (115320) Lage Polka Dot embossing folder (133739) and Happy Hearts embossing folder (137364) Gold embossing powder ...

Hello.  Here is another CAS card I made using the Pop of Pink Suite.   My objective is to make a gift set of trendy thank you cards using the adorable "thank you" sentiment in this set. :)  Here's card #2: For this card, I used the same items as my previous post HERE , but this time I stamped the "thank you" sentiment in Melon Mambo and a few pieces of the striped Melon Mambo Pop of Pink Washi Tape .

Hello, and happy Tuesday! Today, I am sharing a card I made featuring the Rose Wonder stamp set.  This set has a matching die set, but I have never just stamped and colored the flower so today was the day.  And since we have some new sweet colors, I had to play with them as well.  Here's my card: I first stamped the flower image in Versamark ink onto Whisper White cardstock and then embossed it with white embossing powder.  I also stamped and embossed another leaf section to obtain more foliage.  Next came the fun part- water coloring!  I used Blushing Bride ink and Sweet Sugarplum ink to paint the rose, and Mint Macaron ink for the leaves.   Rose Wonder   Rose Garden Thinlits Other supplies: Softly Falling Texturized Embossing Folder (139672); Thoughtful Banners stamp set and Duet Banner punch Bundle (142330); Sweet Sugarplum 3/8" Ruched Ribbon (141428); Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape (141649); Mint Macaron washi ta...

Hello, and happy Sunday!  We have a new challenge for you to play along with at Sunday Stamps! It's a sketch challenge: And here's what I decided to create: Doesn't Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky look fabulous together?! A great new color combination.  And notice the Sweet Sugarplum washi tape?  It comes from the new Playful Palette collection.   I gravitated right to it because it contains so many of the new In Colors.  And look at the new 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon?  LOOve it!  I also gravitated to the  Balloon Celebration stamp set  to make my card.  It is a carry over from the 2016 Occasions Catalog and really is a fabulous set.  There are so many different ways to stamp the balloons.   For this card, I stamped the balloons on a piece of Whisper White cardstock in Dapper Denim followed by Basic Black "dots".  I then added two more dimensionalized balloons stamped on Dapper Denim card...
