Today's not done! :D

I'm HERE! Two days in a row! :D And part of tomorrow or Thursday's chores is going to be getting a few blogs up for you, like normal - until "normal" happens again. :D

SO! Here is one of the three projects we made at my hostess clubs this week! I'll show you BOTH of the others tomorrow - I want to get this posted, so I can get it up today! :)


It's a birthday card - but you could stamp any sentiment inside that you wish!

Stamp set: Watercolor Trio (clear mount)

Accessories: (I ♥) Big Shot, oval frame die, SU! acrylic blocks

SO simple, SO pretty. I think this was a hit - we all need more birthday cards, right? :D

OK. I'm on a roll now. :D I'll see you tomorrow - tonight is ADVANCED TECHNIQUES!!!! Stay tuned to see what we did! (I've got one, especially, that I LOVE....) Now, then. Take some time and go STAMP something, would ya?!?! :D

Same stamp set, different look! :D

Good afternoon, y'all!!! How are you today? I hope you're praying for those who've been devastated by our flooding here in Tennessee; if you're not in the area, the national news hasn't really said anything about it. It's AWFUL! So, if you get a chance, take a look at the Nashville news, and if you can help out in any way, PLEASE do!

So! On to today's share! I'm going to just tell you what's different from yesterday, versus retyping everything. :D I think you can figure it out pretty easily from the "ingredients" - but, as usual, if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!:)

Card stock: Whisper White, Summer Sun(R), Only Orange(R), Garden Green

Ink: Summer Sun (R), Only Orange(R), and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers

Stamp set: Watercolor Trio

Accessories: Big Shot (I HAVE to say it today! I ♥ My Big Shot!!), Petals-a-Plenty Texturz folder, SU! Top Note Die, paper snips, dimensionals

Isn't it PRETTY? Summer Sun was my favorite yellow, so I wanted to do a pretty card with it for you. :) (I'm also trying to figure out what to do for my mom for both her birthday and Mother's Day!!!)

OK, I'm off. :) Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

Summer Mini - some great new stamps!

Good morning, everyone! :) How are y'all today?? If you're in Tennessee, PLEASE let me know you're OK! Allison, are you stuck on your mountain??

The new SUMMER MINI has gone live! As soon as I can get it, I'll put the link to it in the sidebar. :) But for now, you'll have to settle for this card I made, JUST for you!

(My camera is beginning to give out. It was our first professional-grade camera, and I love it because it's QUIET. )

Card stocks: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum (ALL going to be in the new IB&C, in the SUBTLES group!), Whisper White

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, and Perfect Plum Stampin' Write markers

Stamp set: Watercolor Trio

Accessories: Big Shot (:D), SU! Backgrounds 1 plates, large oval punch, dimensionals, standard texturz silicone pad, standard texturz impressions pad

How to: Using assorted markers, color in stamp. (This is a clear-mount set - I sure do have fun using them! :D LOVE our blocks!) Breathe on stamp, to make sure ink is moist; stamp on Whisper White card stock.

(This piece is cut at 1-5/8"x31/2".)

Color word stamp with Perfect Plum Stampin' Write Marker; stamp on scrap Whisper White. Punch out with large oval punch.

Mount flower stamped image on Perfect Plum card stock (1-3/4"x3-5/8"), then onto Certainly Celery (1-7/8"x3-3/4").

Run Pretty in Pink card stock through Big Shot with Texturz plate. Adhere matted flower image to Pretty in Pink card stock; if interior stamping is to be done, do so. :D

Using two dimensionals, adhere oval punched saying to front of card.

Easy, and SO pretty! If you like this set, I'd order it and any colors that are retiring SOON, so you'll be sure to get everything you want~! :)

Have a WONDERFUL day! Be sure to STAMP something!
