Notice the lovely complimenting colors of Mellow Moss & Always Artichoke with Very Vanilla and Brushed Gold- they make a wonderful platform for the bright Summer Sun and Chocolate Chip sunflower!

Next Blog Giveaway!

Hi Stampers,

In honor of this most wonderful Sale-a-Bration time we've enjoyed over the past few months, I'm offering an additional blog giveaway this month! Wrapped up in the box, shown above, are 4 hand stamped cards with matching envelopes for you!

This card set highlights the True Friend stamp set and coordinating standard wheel, Boho Friend- these have been part of my all time favorite stamps as they're so easy to use:) The ribbon, Designer Series Paper and clips have been retired so the lucky winner will be enjoying some rare elements!

Here's a little tour of what is included in this lovely card set featuring Real Red & Pumpkin Pie:

Thank U: I love how this card turned out! The Pumpkin Pie 'belly band' was wheeled- I then added bling by applying 2 Way Glue to the stamped dots and sprinkling with Dazzling Diamonds:) The Ticket Corner Punch was used to set off the greeting.



Finally, texture was added by embossing the flowers with Clear Embossing Powder after stamping with VersaMark- you can't help but touch these flowers:)



Happy Birthday: This card highlights texture with Real Red textured card stock and an embossed greeting!



The final touches were popping up the flower bud on a Dimensional and then inserting a brad in the center- the Vintage brad was covered with TomBow and then dipped in Dazzling Diamonds!



For You: This card showcases the medallion image in this great stamp set- notice the Vintage Brad in the center was also covered with Dazzling Diamonds!



The greeting was embossed with Clear Embossing Powder after stamping with Chocolate Chip Craft ink. The final touch was adding a Pumpkin Pie felt flower from the Flower Fusion set!



True Friend: This card showcases lots of 'diamond dots'- again, the 2 Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds come to the rescue!



Finally, the flower and greeting were both embossed with Clear Embossing Powder!



Here is the full set of cards, shown with the box and matching Whisper White envelopes, stamped with the Boho Friend wheel!



Want to qualify for this special blog giveaway? Simply stamp a project (any!) using Real Red & Pumpkin Pie! You can implement these colors through ink, card stock, ribbon etc... surprise me!

I kept the inside simple...



The soccer balls were punched and then popped up with Dimensionals...



The soccer shoe was covered in Crystal Effects for shine and the grass was made by using my Paper Snips...



Ingredients:

Stamps: Just Soccer, Itty Bitty Birthday
Card Stock: Whisper White, Garden Green, Certainly Celery, textured Tempting Turquoise
Ink: Basic Black Stampin' Write Journaler, Real Red, Certainly Celery, Garden Green & Basic Black Stampin' Pads

Boppy Inspiration- Little Lamb

Happy Saturday Stampers! I just barely got this post ready for today:)

I'd like to share a card I created this afternoon (shown above)- this was inspired by Olivia's new Boppy!

I chose the little lamb from the Pun Fun stamp set to mimic the lambs on the Boppy cover:)



I was originally going to create some 3D dots in the background to mimic the pocket insert fabric but decided to make a central 'dot' by punching my little lamb with the 1 3/4 inch Circle Punch and then creating a rosette with the new Pinking Hearts Border Punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog!


















Next I opted to set off the greeting in order to highlight the 'Thank Ewe'!



The finishing touch was the Mini Library Clip and embroidery thread:



So, what do you think? Send me a sample of your 'nursery inspiration' and you'll receive a FREE hand stamped card!

Card Ingredients:

Stamps: Pun Fun
Card Stock: So Saffrron, Whisper White, Going Gray, Welcome Neighbor DSP
Ink: Barely Banana, Basic Gray & Pretty in Pink Stampin Pads, Basic Black Stampin Write Marker
Accessories: Tabletop Cutter, Bone Folder, 1 3/4 inch Circle, Pinking Hearts Border, Word Window & Modern Label Punches, SNAIL, Dimensionals, Blender Pens, Stamping Sponges, Mini Library Clips, White Embroidery Thread

Stay tuned for a photo tutorial on how to make the rosette shown here!!!



Happy stamping,
