mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello to each and every happy stamper who pops by to see my latest hydrangea project.

As I was looking through the 6 double-sided designs (there are two of each), I settled on the idea of marrying the three Highland Heather designs.

I cut one in each design, measuring 1-3/4″x 4″ (4.5cm x 10.2cm). Then I adhered them to a Basic White panel, measuring 4″x 5-5/8″ (10.2cm x 14.3cm), as shown. I also attached a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon.

I stamped the flower twice – once colouring just the leaves and stems in Old Olive and a second time in Highland Heather.

Using the HYDRANGEA DIES, I cut out the flower that I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under to lift the flower on the card front. I also used another of the dies to cut out lots of the individual petals in White Vellum.

I’m so pleased with the way the head of the hydrangea looks with the added vellum petals.

After stamping the sentiment, I used the new TREASURED TAGS PICK A PUNCH to shape the end of the card stock.

Last, but not least, some PASTEL PEARLS scattered across the front.

And, I’m off to make another card.

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome. If you are returning, a huge thank you. If you are new, I’m so pleased that you found me.

As promised, I’m not posting my cactus cards day after day, just every other a day. Only five more to go – only ten days.

For this card, I stamped my own Designer Series Paper using some of the stamps from the FLOWERING CACTUS STAMP SET.

The two flowers were also stamped onto the card insert and envelope.

I used Terracotta Tile and Pear Pizzazz. Then it was adhered to a piece of ‘real’ DSP.

The prickly pear was fussy cut from the DSP and adhered onto a die cut piece of Basic White caard stock. The

The felt flower is a cute finishing touch to the terracott pot.

I have a question for you. Should I make cards that have different folds to the tent fold card I make most of the time?

Please let me know what you would like me to make and share in the future.

Happy stamping.

Hello to my creative friends – thanks for popping by again. I truly appreciate your support.

I have a friend who really likes succulents and has them in her garden and in lovely wide, shallow pots.

This is a card I made on a recent Facebook Live. I wanted to do some messy water colouring and overlay the die cut frame over the top.

I used the widest of the set of three WATER PAINTERS to swirl splotches of colour onto some FLUID 100 WATERCOLOUR PAPER. Once it was dry, I adhered the overlay piece of Basic Gray card stock that was cut using one of the POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES.

The birthday greeting is from the FLOWERING CACTUS STAMP SET and it was cut with one of the other POTTED SUCCULENTS DIES. These two product bundles (medley) work very well together.

The other twine found in the product medley is Calypso Coral. I teamed it with the Basic Gray Twine from the WELL SUITED TWINE COMBO PACK.

Another feature of the product medley is the packet of felt floral shapes in both Calypso Coral and Highland Heather.

It’s been fun using these new products and each time I finish one, I’m ready to move onto another.

Happy stamping.
