Plentiful Plants & Perfect Plants Dies – Birthday

Happy Tuesday! Flowers are lovely, and so are plants. The Plentiful Plants stamp has a variety of plants to appease the plant lover. For those who find it challenging to make masculine cards, this set can meet that challenge. Although my card was not intended to be a masculine card, it can easily be changed since I used neutral colors. Simply remove the embellishments, change …

Card about friendship

Timeless Tropical Pineapple

Today’s focus is on the pineapples in the Timeless Tropical stamp set. Although there are various ways to ink up stamp images, I chose to ink up the pineapples using Stampin’ Write Markers. In case you’re not familiar with inking up your stamp with markers, all you need to do is color the bottom part of the pineapple image with the Crushed Curry marker, and …

Fresh Fruit

Fresh Fruit

Fresh Fruit is such a versatile stamp. Use it all year long to make birthday cards, thank you, encouragement, Valentine’s or any other love occasion, attach it to baked goods, make recipe cards out of it. As you can see, there are many possibilities. For this card, I used the Petal Burst Embossing Folder and added color by sponging. Here’s my thought process on this …

Beautiful You Birthday

How would you feel if you received a birthday card with the ‘Happy Birthday, Gorgeous’ sentiment? It probably would make you feel good, wouldn’t it?

Of course, I used the Stitched Shapes …

Today’s card features the host set Lots of Love and …

Beautiful Ride

Life Is A Beautiful Ride

I like combining several stamps and creating a scene and so that’s what I did for this card. I stamped the car, couple & sentiment from Beautiful Ride, the tree from Sheltering Tree and the stars from Balloon Celebration. Actually, when I stamped the stars with VersaMark to emboss with white embossing powder, I thought I had selected the closed stars but instead they were the open …

Timeless Talk Blossoms

Here’s another swap I made for Stampin’ Up! Convention using the Timeless Talk Stamp Set and Betsy’s Blossoms.  I stamped the blossoms on the top first and then I embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. Come back tomorrow and see my 3 x 3 card swap and hear what’s going on at convention.  I’m exhausted – time to rest for another big day tomorrow! Till …
