Sunday Stamps! #130 Seaside Shore

Hello, and happy Sunday! Today, I have a card perfect for a summer birthday to share with you using the NEW Seaside Shore stamp set and the Seaside Embossing folder .  The card design follows Sunday Stamps! challenge #130.

Here's this weeks challenge:

Creating a tag on your card front has so many fun possibilities, and I thought the Seaside Shore stamp set would be perfect for this weeks challenge.  Of course, I had to use the new In Colors: Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugarplum, and Dapper Denim as well as Pool Party and Cucumber Crush.

Tips: I sponged the Seaside embossing folder lightly with Pool Party ink before running it through my Big Shot.  For the tag, I embossed the vines and bubbles in white  and then colored them with my  Aqua Painter using Cucumber Crush ink for the vines, and Pool Party for the bubbles.  After it dried, I sponged Pool Party ink onto the tag, making it darker at the bottom.


Those cute little fish were hand cut and popped with Dimensionals.  The tag, itself was also adhered with dimensionals. To finish it off, I added some Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine and some Basic Rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Fourth of July weekend!

    I love this stamp set and have made a few things with it - it's such a lot of fun but I love the way you've embossed then coloured some of the elements. It's such a good colour combination too. Fantastic!

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...
