Sunday Stamps! #SSC172

Hello, crafty friends. Today starts a new challenge over at Sunday Stamps!.  This week we are working with a sketch by Heidi.  Here's my card using two fabulous sets: Beautiful Day and Amazing You.

I recently had a friend over to practice coloring with the Stampin' Blends and we talked about how coloring is therapeutic. Can you relate?  So, with coloring was on my mind, I decided to give a go at the Beautiful Day stamp set.  A big bold flower with a thick outline is perfect to practicing your blending skills with the Stampin' Blends markers.


To create this card, I actually started with the ribbon.  I looked thru my ribbon stash to find what matched my Stampin' Blends markers.  I chose the Calypso Coral Shimmer Ribbon from Sale-a-bration and went from there.

Card Supplies:

  • Beautiful Day and Amazing You stamp sets (SAB item);
  • Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White cardstock;
  • Bubbles & Fizz DSP (SAB item), Wood Textures DSP;
  • Early Espresso and Memento Black ink;
  • Celebrate You Thinlits Dies (SAB item), Calypso Coral Combo Pack, Old Olive Combo Pack and Daffodil Delight dark Stampin' Blends, Calypso Coral Shimmer Ribbon (SAB item), Aqua Painter, Clear Wink of Stella.

Here's this weeks sketch challenge. 


 Why don't you join in the fun?  We would love to see your interpretation of this weeks sketch challenge. Submit your creation to Sunday Stamps! challenge blog by Friday, February 23, 2018.

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.

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!

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...
