Happiest of Birthdays Blocked Background Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!

 

Today I'm sharing my favorite two cards from my Happiest of Birthdays LIVE Class last week! I used a technique that I haven't used in a long time...coloring directly on the stamp with Stampin' Write Markers!  I love the way you can add multicolored sentiments with this fun technique!  See it in action in the LIVE Class Replay linked below! And enjoy making one of these cards in the 5-Card Kit or both cards with the 10-Card kit! All the details are below, too!

Happiest Birthday Blocked Background Cards

I absolutely love these blocked background cards!  I can't take the credit for the design, as I CASEd it from a lady named Rachelle on Etsy. It thought they were so fun and I hope you do, too!

 

Background Basics—This card begins with a 4" x 5-1/4" Calypso Coral background that's decorated with blocks of Playing With Patterns Designer Series Papers. The blocks measure: 2-1/4" x 2"; 2-1/4" x 3"; 1-1/2" x 3"; and 1-1/2" x 2". I selected a multicolor pattern first, then picked out three more papers that coordinated with it. After adhering the blocks onto the background, I tied some Playing With Patterns Purple Posy ombré ribbon around the layer and mounting it onto a Thick Whisper White card base.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I colored the sentiment with Stampin' Write Markers directly onto the rubber using Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Highland Heather. Then, I huffed on the stamp to re-wet the ink and stamped it onto a 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I layered that onto a 2-7/8" x 3-5/8" piece of Highland Heather cardstock and popped it up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

 

Finishing Touches—I finished by adding some coral colored Artistry Blooms Sequins around the sentiment. So cool! 

 

Two Cool—For my second version, I selected different Playing With Patterns papers with a different color combo. This time, I flipped the blocks around a bit and mounted them onto a Purple Posy layer. I tied them with the same ribbon.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I colored this sentiment with Misty Moonlight, Crushed Curry and Highland Heather Stampin' Write Markers and layered it onto a Misty Moonlight mat. It's decorated with some coordinating Playing With Patterns Enamel Dots. 

 

Which color combination do you like best?

Happy (late) Birthday Cards & Happy Anniversary To Me!

Hi Stamping Friends!

 

On December 11, 2003, I had just wrapped up creating my very first batch of hand-stamped Christmas cards to send out to family and friends and I was so 

excited about Stampin' Up! that I decided to become a demonstrator! At the time, I had only been to a few workshops, but I was already completely in love with creating with stamps, ink and paper! My goal was simply to sign up for the discount and maybe have a few classes to introduce this craft to others. I didn't know anyone who stamped at the time, aside from Michelle Aschliman, who invited me to my first party. Heck, I didn't even know the demonstrator with whom I signed up and who would resign after just 2 weeks of being on her team! 

 

17 years later, I love stamping and Stampin' Up! more than ever! Never would I ever have imagined that I would have a full-time and growing Stampin' Up! business. I'm so very blessed to be part of this community and all of the amazing friendships, rewards and experiences that come along with it! My team, my customers, my fellow demonstrator friends all around the world and the Stampin' Up! team have deeply impacted my life in such an unbelievable and meaningful way! THANK YOU! I look forward to doing a job I absolutely love for many, many years to come!

 

This has been an amazing year for my Stampin' Up! business. I've hit many awesome achievements and milestones and it's all because of YOU!

 

A few weeks ago at our OnStage@Home event, I found out that I was ranked #81 globally among approximately 58,000 demonstrators!  I ranked #54 among our more than 30,000 demonstrators here in the United States. 

 

  

 

 

I also hit some amazing milestones this year:

• Ranked #55 in Sales in the United States
• Ranked #39 in Team Building in the United States
• Ranked # 71 in Leadership in the United States
• Hit my $300,000 career sales milestone
• Earned the Maui Extended Incentive Trip (my 6th incentive trip!)
• Advanced to Gold Elite (Only 10 US demos got to this level in 2020)

Again, none of this would have been possible without people like you who share my love of stamping, ready my blog, watch my videos, place orders with me and join my team! Thank you so much! I'm so very & so genuinely grateful for you!

Happy (Little-Bit-Late) Birthday Cards

I absolutely love this Happiest of Birthdays sentiment, because it fits me perfectly! I'm really good at making the cards, but I'm not so good at sending the cards on time! LOL!  I combined the sentiment with the World of Good Designer Series Paper for a couple of masculine-looking cards.

 

Background Basics—I started this fun-fold card with a 5-1/2" x 7" piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock, scored at the 4-1/4" mark. I added a 5-1/4" x 2-1/2" piece of World of Good DSP along the top, shortened panel, and a 5-1/4" x 1-1/2" piece of DSP along the bottom of the inside of the card that shows.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I colored the sentiment with a Cinnamon Cider and Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker directly onto the rubber, then stamped it onto a Whisper White Tasteful Labels die-cut. I cut another of the same shape die-cut in gold Brushed Metallic cardstock, cut it in half lengthwise, and re-adhered it to the top and bottom of the label for a frame.

 

I fishtail cut the ends of a 4-1/2" x 1-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake and mounted that in the middle of a 3-3/4" x 3" piece of Basic Black. That layer was adhered to the card front top panel with SEAL adhesive. I then popped up the sentiment label on top with Dimesionals.

 

Finishing Touches—I finished by adding Champagne Rhinestone Jewels to each corner. 

 

Inside the Card—I stamped another Happiest of Birthdays sentiment on the inside in Memento Black ink.

 

Two Cool—My second card changes the card base and background to Misty Moonlight. I selected a different World of Good DSP to match.

 

I used Copper Brushed Metallic for the frame and colored the sentiment with Cinnamon Cider and Misty Moonlight. 

 

Which color combination do you like best?

Playful Pets Sorry For Your Loss Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!

 

One of the most difficult parts of being a pet owner is facing the loss of your sweet friend.

Today's cards are perfect for those you know who may have recently lost one of their furry family members. These cards are both part of the 5-card Playful Pets LIVE Class Kit available through Wednesday! Details below.

Playful Pets Sorry For Your Loss Cards

It's so hard to find the words or a way to comfort someone who has lost their pet. Dogs and cats are our family members! Today's cards are perfect for just those occasions and let you know that you care.

 

 

Background Basics—See those adorable little die-cut paws? That's created with a die from the Pets Dies. I die-cut the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Real Red cardstock first, then ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. It's adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base.

 

 

I added a 1-1/2" x 5" piece of Playful Pets Designer Series Paper to the background, with a banner cut into the bottom.

 

 

Sweet Dogger—I stamped the Pampered Pets dog image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White then colored it in with Smoky Slate and Real Red Stampin' Blends Markers. I thought the image of the back of the dog was a lovely way to express a more solemn look on these condolence cards.

 

The dog was die-cut with the Pets Dies and then popped up onto a Basic Black Stitched Shapes oval die-cut. I adhered the oval with SEAL Adhesive onto the card front. 

 

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Pampered Pets sentiment in Memento Black ink onto a 2-3/4" x 5/8" strip of Whisper White. I banner-cut the ends of that, too, before popping it up onto the oval.

 

Finishing Touches—I tied a bow with the Real Red Stitched Satin Ribbon and attached it with a Glue Dot at the bottom of the oval.

 

 

Two Cool—I created another version featuring the pretty kitty image. The background is a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Smoky Slate cardstock, layered onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Basic Black. I added a 2" x 5" piece of Playful Pets DSP to the background before tying some Real Red Stitched Satin Ribbon around the layers. Then, I mounted it all onto a Flirty Flamingo card base.

 

Happy Hearts—I stamped the Pampered Pets hearts image onto the background in Memento Black ink and colored them in with Real Red Stampin' Blends.

 

 

Focal Point—I stamped the Pampered Pets image in Memento Black onto Whisper White, then colored it in with Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Markers. I die-cut it with the Pets Dies and popped it up onto a Flirty Flamingo Stitched Shapes square and a 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" Basic Black layer.

 

Sweet Sentiment—This time, I spotlighted just a portion of the sentiment. To do this, I colored directly onto the sentiment stamp with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, only adding ink to the first part of the sentiment. Then, I stamped it onto a 2-5/8" x 3/8" strip of Whisper White. I banner cut the ends and popped it up onto the square.

 

 

Inside The Card—After thoroughly cleaning the stamp, I used the Stampin' Write Marker to color the second half of the sentiment to add to the inside of the card. I also stamped the hearts and a little mouse, coloring them with Real Red and Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Markers respectively.

Power of Hope Parisian Blossoms Card

The Power of Hope Bundle is one of the Sale-a-Bration items that can be selected with a $100 order, now thru March 31, 2020. I adore the stamp set, but it's the Stone 3D Embossing Folder that is my favorite of the pair. That awesome texture is what I call an instant-classic and I hope that Stampin' Up! will be carrying it over into the Annual Catalog. Typically, however, Sale-a-bration items that carry over are few and far between, so if you love it...I wouldn't wait!  

 

I had fun pairing the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper with the Power of Hope images, because the blooms reminded me of Cherry Blossoms. 

 

Background Basics—I layered a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of the Parisian Blossoms DSP onto a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" mat in Basic Black, then mounted it onto a Pool Party card base.  Next, I embossed a 5" x 1-1/4" strip of Pool Party cardstock with the Stone texture and adhered it across the lower half.

 

 

Focal Point—I stamped the Power of Hope image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 2-1/4" x 2-3/8" piece of Whisper White and colored it lightly with the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker. It's layered onto a 2-3/8" x 2-1/2" Basic Black piece and popped up with Dimensionals.

 

Finishing Touches—I stamped the Power of Hope sentiment onto a Petal Pink Layering Ovals die-cut and popped that up, as well.  I finished with a couple of Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

 

CASEd from a card originally created by Peggy Tassler.

 

Power of Hope Paper Lantern Card

I re-created a pretty swap card that Peggy Tassler had given me for this clever card.  I love that paper lantern!

Background Basics—I stamped the Power of Hope tree in Soft Suede randomly all over a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It's layered onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, then mounted onto a Flirty Flamingo card base.

 

 

Paper Lantern—I stamped the Power of Hope image onto a 2-5/8" diameter Very Vanilla Layering Circles die-cut using Early Espresso ink. I colored the image with Dark Flirty Flamingo and Light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends Markers. To get that paper lantern look, I texturized stamped circle with the Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder.  TIP: If you don't have that, you could add horizontal score lines using your Simply Scored or Paper Trimmer.

 

I adhered a 1-1/4" x 3/8" Flirty Flamingo strips on the top and bottom of the circle. The Braided Linen Trim was attached in a loop with Tear & Tape Adhesive to the back of the circle, then the circle was mounted with Dimensionals onto the card front.

 

Finishing Touches—I stamped a Power of Hope sentiment in Early Espresso onto a Crumb Cake Stitched Nested Labels die-cut and popped it up, too.  I finished with a Champagne Rhinestone Jewel.

Forever Blossoms Thank You Cards

I was searching the internet for a sweet and simple thank you and I happened upon this lovely design by Tami White. I couldn't wait to CASE it!  I love to color and I love the clean, monochromatic color combination, too!  

 

Nearly exact CASE of a card created by Tami White.

 

Background Basics—This card begins with a 7-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base of Thick Whisper White, scored at the 4-1/4" mark. I layered a 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Purple Posy cardstock on the inside front of the card, allowing about an 1/8" to peek out beyond the card front. I also added a 1" x 5-1/2" strip of Purple Posy gingham Designer Series Paper along the inside right of the card.

 

Pretty Blossoms—I stamped the Forever Blossoms image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the card front, then colored in the image with Purple Posy and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers.

 

 

Sweet Sentiment—I created a two-color sentiment by coloring directly on the So Sentimental rubber stamp with Stampin' Write Markers. I colored the "thank you" in Gorgeous Grape and the rest in Smoky Slate, using the side of the brush tip end, then huffing on the stamp before transferring the image. I die-cut the sentiment with the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies, then popped it up with Dimensionals.

 

Bundle It & SAVE—Purchase the So Sentimental stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly dies together in a bundle to save 10% off the cost of purchasing them separately.

 

Finishing Touches—I added a few Noble Peacock Rhinestone Jewels around the blossoms and a little Wink of Stella on the flowers for some sparkle.

  

Two Cool—I did another version in Pool Party...one of my favorite colors!  This is the type of card that is fun and easy to experiment with all of your favorite colors!  Which colors would you try?.

 

 

I colored the flowers with Pool Party and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers and the sentiment with Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate Stampin' Write Markers. I added Old Olive jewels from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones.  I think I'm going to make a whole stack of these pretties!

Painted Poppies LIVE Class Cards

Oh my goodness...the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Papers are SO LOVELY!  I adore the watercolored look, and these papers are created with photos of actual watercolored paintings by Stampin' Up! artists!  I used two patterns as the beautiful backgrounds for today's pair of Painted Poppies cards.

 

 

Background Basics—I began with an Old Olive vertically folded card, measuring 11" x 4-1/4" and scored at 5-1/2".  I decorated the front with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Peaceful Poppies DSP.

 

 

Next, I stamped a sentiment from Peaceful Moments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 4" x 2" piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and adhered it across the bottom of the card front. 

  

 

Altered Ribbon—To get that rich Poppy Parade colored ribbon, I colored on a Petal Pink Metallic-Edge Ribbon with a Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker. Using the brush tip end, the color glides on so easily and bleeds through completely to the other side for full color. And, because it's alcohol-based formula, it dries quickly, too, so it won't leave ink residue on your other elements!

 

Poppy Label—I stamped the Painted Poppies image in Memento Black onto a Whisper White Painted Labels die-cut. Check out the subtle, embossed border that the die makes on this pretty label shape!  So cool!  

 

Next, I colored in the image with Light Poppy Parade and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers. Notice that I didn't color the image all the way, leaving some white space to better mimic the flowers in the paper.  I finished by popping up the element with Dimensionals and adding a few floating Champagne Rhinestone Jewels. The jewels match the metallic edge of the ribbon!

 

 

Two Cool—My second card starts with a vertically folded Pool Party card base and a different pattern of DSP.  

 

 

This time, I embossed the Rich Razzleberry layer with the 3D Brick & Mortar folder.  I tied some Bermuda Bay Mini Striped Ribbon around this card, but the Poppy Parade altered ribbon would look amazing here, too!

 

 

Focal Point—The focal point is the same as the first card, but this time, I adhered the sentiment across the top of it.  The Peaceful Moments greeting is stamped onto a 2-1/4" x 3/4" piece of Pool Party, then topped with a single Champagne Rhinestone.

Tropical Oasis Palm Tree Cards

It's about 9° here in Fort Wayne, Indiana, this morning with a -10° wind chill, so I'm dreaming of warmer temperatures and enjoying a tropical oasis. One thing good about this frigid weather...I can hunker down in my Too Cool Stamping Studio and create pretty papercrafts, like these cards featuring the Tropical Oasis suite. We'll be making the first Pretty Peacock color card at my Kickoff Party event next Sunday...no matter what the weather feels like!

 

 

Background Basics—I started by embossing a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock with the suite's Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder and mounted it onto a Pretty Peacock card base using a combination of Tear & Tape and SNAIL adhesives for a secure hold.  Next, I adhered a 4" x 2" piece of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper across the bottom half of the card.

 

I added a strip of Tear & Tape along the top of the DSP, then attached a piece of the 5/16" Braided Burlap Trim to it for a fun, textured element.  Before mounting it, I loosened up some of the weave and frayed the ends.

Perfect Palms—I stamped the Timeless Tropical palm tree image onto a 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White. To get the two-color look, I colored directly onto the red rubber stamp with Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin' Write Markers. Using the side of the brush tip, I gently added the color, then "huffed" onto the stamp to re-activate the color, and stamped it. I love this classic coloring technique!  The stamped piece was layered onto a 2-5/8" x 3-3/8" piece of Soft Suede cardstock, then popped up over the burlap trim with Dimensionals. 

I finished by adding a couple of Pretty Peacock jewels from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones pack.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Timeless Tropical sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto Mint Macaron cardstock, then die-cut it with the Stitched Shapes dies and popped up with more Dimensionals.  

 

 

Two Cool—For my second horizontal card, I started with a Soft Sea Foam textured layer mounted onto a card base in the same color.  This time, I tried the Tropical Oasis DSP with the fun beach vacation cars...love this pattern!  I added some Braided Burlap across the right lower part of the card.

 

 

Peaceful Palms—The palm tree focal point is the same as the first card, popped up over the frayed burlap.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I changed up the Timeless Tropical sentiment and stamped it onto a 3" x 3/4" piece of Mint Macaron. It's adhered with SNAIL adhesive across the bottom of the palm trees, then accented with Old Olive Noble Peacock Jewels. What a lovely card for someone who's retiring, especially if they are heading to warmer climates!

Happy Birthday To You Celebrate Card

I received this pretty swap card from Kay Cogbill and I simply adore the soft pastel colors!  The Happy Birthday To You is a must-have from the Sale-a-Bration flyer, especially if you are a fan of coloring.  It's perfect for Stampin' Blends Markers!

 

Background Basics—Kay started by layering a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper onto a Petal Pink card base.  She added a 5-1/4" x 5/8" strip of Petal Pink cardstock across the front that she had stamped in Basic Gray ink with the Happy Birthday To You sentiment.

 

 

Quaint Cake—Kay stamped the cake image from Happy Birthday To You stamp set in Basic Gray ink onto a 2-3/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White.  She colored in the image with Stampin' Blends Markers: Smoky Slate for the cake stand, Petal Pink for the flowers, Mint Macaron for the leaves and Daffodil Delight for the flower centers.  She finished by tying a Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic-Edge Ribbon bow and attaching it with a Glue Dot. The layer is adhered to the card front with SNAIL adhesive.

Happy Birthday To You Glitter Ribbon Card

We'll be creating this swap card, designed by Kay Kalthoff, at my card class tonight!  I love all of the shiny accents paired with this beautiful cake!

 

Background Basics—This card begins with a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Pool Party cardstock onto a Basic Black card base.  Next, Kay diagonally cut a 3" x 4" piece of the Parisian Blossoms Specialty DSP and adhered each piece in it's corresponding corner of the Pool Party layer.  I love her unique way of attaching some Black Glitter Ribbon along the diagonal edges using a Glue Dot under the focal point area. She trimmed off the ends flush with the edge of the Pool Party layer.

 

Sweet Cake—Kay also stamped her Happy Birthday To You cake onto a 2-3/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White, this time in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  She also used Stampin' Blends Markers: Smoky Slate & Basic Black for the cake stand, Pool Party for the cake, Petal Pink for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. She topped the flowers with Rhinestone Jewels. She stamped the sentiment above the cake and added a little Pool Party shadow with Blends.  It's layered onto a 3" x 4-1/4" Basic Black cardstock and popped up with Dimensionals.

Bloom & Grow Simply Wonderful Cards

The beautiful floral sprays in the Bloom & Grow stamp set are perfect for coloring with Stampin' Blends Markers!  And, the coordinating dies make it so easy to cut out and create a lovely focal point. These cards were inspired by Heather Guerera.

 

 

Cool Card Base—This card begins with a vertically folded 4-1/4" x 11" Coastal Cabana card base, scored at the 5-1/2" mark.  I used the Budding Blooms dies to create a decorative border at the bottom of the card front, allowing the sentiment from the inside to show through.  So cool! 

 

 

Die-Cut Border—To make the border, I inserted the bottom of the card front through the coordinating die so that the "blade" portion of the die would be on the front and the other side of the die is on the back. Run it through the die-cutting machine positioned like this with the card base open.  

 

 

Background Basics—I embossed a 4" x 3-1/8" piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.  It's adhered with Tear & Tape Adhesive and SNAIL Adhesive. Don't forget, in order to use the NEW 3D Embossing Folders from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, you need to use the Embossing Plate as an adaptor to make up the thickness with these skinnier folders.  If you are using a 3D Folder from the old catalog, then you just need a standard cutting pad.

 

I tied a Petal Pink Striped Organdy Ribbon around the top of the card front for some soft, contrasting color.

 

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Bloom & Grow sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink onto the bottom of a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White for the inside of the card.

 

 

Focal Point Floral Spray—I stamped the Bloom & Grow floral image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White and colored it in with Stampin' Blends Markers. The flowers were colored with Dark Pool Party and Light Bermuda Bay; leaves in Old Olive and berries in Light Calypso Coral.  I finished the blooms with some Wink of Stella sparkle, then die-cut and popped up the image with Dimensionals.

 

Bundle It & SAVE—Purchase the Bloom & Grow stamp set and Budding Blooms dies together in a bundle for a 10% 15% total discount during Online Extravaganza!

 

Finishing Touches—I finished up with a few Glitter Enamel Dots in Coastal Cabana for more sparkle.  So pretty!

 

 

 

Two Cool—Peggy created this card with a vertically-folded card base without the die-cut border and it's still SO pretty!  Her card base is Highland Heather. She stamped in Highland Heather onto the bottom of a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White, then added a 4" x 4" Gorgeous Grape cardstock piece that's embossed with the Tufted 3D Folder. She tied some Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the top.

 

 

Focal Point—Her floral image in colored with Purple Posy Combo, Highland Heather Dark and Granny Apple Green Light Stampin' Blends. She finished up with a few Gorgeous Grape Enamel Dots.

Beautiful Friendship Background Bouquet Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!

 

On my Too Cool Stamping LIVE Class today, I featured the gorgeous images from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set.  I've been having so much fun exploring new color combinations for these disINKtive detailed images. It seems like whichever colors I try, the result is like a lovely abstract painting!  You just can't go wrong!  

 

Today, I'm sharing a couple of the cards that I created during the LIVE class.  Did you miss it?  No worries!  Catch the replay...

Beautiful Friendship Background Bouquet Cards

 

The Beautiful Friendship stamp set is perfect for creating amazing floral backgrounds.  It's stunning what you can create with these stamps with just ink and paper!  

 

Background Basics—I started with a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White, then stamped Beautiful Friendship images in the following order:

• Large rose double flowers stamped twice in So Saffron ink.
• Large cluster flower stamped three times in Seaside Spray.
• Small rose stamped in Mango Melody five times in the blank areas.
• Small cluster stamped in Blueberry Bushel stamped off once to fill in some of the blank areas.
• Large & small flower centers in Blueberry Bushel.
• Leaves stamped in the remaining blank areas in Pear Pizzazz ink.

The background layer is mounted onto Blueberry Bushel card base.

Altered Ribbon—I love the White/Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon because it can be colored to match any project using Stampin' Blends Markers.  I used the brush tip of the Dark Seaside Spray Blends Marker to create this matching blue ribbon. Since it's alcohol-based, the ink spreads easily, blends smoothly and dries quickly.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the sentiment from the Band Together stamp set in Blueberry Bushel, then stamped over the top of it with the small rose image in stamped-off So Saffron ink.  I punched it out with the Story Label Punch (which I mistakenly called the Timeless Label Punch in the video), then popped up the greeting with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—I colored three Rhinestone Jewels with the Dark Seaside Spray Blends Marker and floated them around the card.  I love it!

Two Cool—This time, I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and stamped the images the same way with different colors: 

• Large rose double flowers stamped twice in Pool Party ink.
• Large cluster flower stamped three times in Mango Melody.
• Small rose stamped in Rococo Rose five times in the blank areas.
• Small cluster stamped in Pretty Peacock stamped off once to fill in some of the blank areas.
• Large & small flower centers in Pretty Peacock.
• Leaves stamped in the remaining blank areas in Pear Pizzazz ink.

Altered Ribbon—The ribbon was colored with the Light Pretty Peacock Blends Marker.

Sweet Sentiment—I used a different sentiment from the same Band Together set.
