Darling Details

Darling Details is as bundle that I used for a Class at Home class a few months ago. I really like this set and had fun playing with beyond the class that I offered. I liked creating with this set and was surprised to see it on the retiring list. The dies are so much fun too. Oh well. Stampin' Up! has a plan that I don't know. That's OK.

I stamped the flowers with Moody Mauve and the out line with Blackberry Bliss. The leaves, stem, and ground are Pretty Peacock. Pretty Peacock is quite blue in my opinion but it works as a "green" here. The ground was crumbled up and the smoothed out before adhering to the card.

Watercolor Melon

Well, I fell off the posting wagon again. Sigh...I will keep trying but life just seems to happen and I don't always get to post. Since I last posted, Stampin' Up! has released the retiring lists. Watercolor Melon we knew would not return after Sale-a-bration but I have learned that Biggest Wish and Charming Sentiments are retiring at the end of April. Take a look and see if they are something you want to add to your stamping supplies.

Watercolor Melon was one of the choice you had during Sale-a-bration. My youngest daughter, Belle, love watermelon. I knew I would need this set for her to have and play with. She hasn't had any time to spend with me in my stamping room as of late but maybe this summer she can arrange a few hours to have fun stamping.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green for these cards. I started this one by using a blending brush to add some Granny Apple to the background. The slices of watermelon are fussy cut after they were stamped.

Inked & Tiled

Inked & Tiled an awesome stamp set and easy to use not matter what color combination you decide to use. I have used Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, and Pebbled Path for these three cards and I'm not sure which one is my favorite.

I started with Calypso Coral card base and added a layer of Pebbled Path. The top layer is Petal Pink. I stamped the leaf with Calypso Coral and Petal Pink before I ran it through the Exposed Brick embossing folder. The thin strip under the greeting is a 1/4" strip of Pebbled Path.

Bird's Eye View

Aren't these birds adorable? I think they are so stinking cute and I had a ton of fun creating with them. I do wish there was a coordinating set of dies but you may remember that I don't mind fussy cutting items either.

I inked up my acrylic block with Pumpkin Pie ink and then spritzed it with some water before "stamping" with it to create the background. The bird, branch, and leaves are all fussy cut and then adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Inked & Tiled

Here is pretty easy set to create with. Once I sat down with this set, I had lots of ideas and fun making cards. I even made a set of scrapbook pages with this set. It really is an easy set to work with.

I stamped the Crushed Curry base card with the leaves and Crushed Curry ink. I then punched the two shapes from the Inked Botanicals designer series paper and adhered them to the card base so they pieced together a pattern. I stamped the flowers with Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon. (I used the markers to color the stamp and then stamped.)

Free as a Bird 2

This is the last of the Free as a Bird cards that I have made, for now! I enjoyed creating with this set so it will be on my table again at some point.

This first card is made from thick Whisper White card stock. I used my markers to color right on the stamp. Then I huffed on the stamp to put a bit of moisture on the ink again and then stamped. You get this beautiful image with lots of colors without coloring in. I added the thank you and a few rhinestones to complete it.

I stamped the bird twice with Night of Navy ink. The first one on the Whisper White square and the other on a scrap piece of paper. The one on the scrap, I colored with my Blends and then fussy cut just the body out. I placed the fussy cut bird on top of the other bird so he had legs again. The flower was also stamped and fussy cut after being colored with Blends.

I saw this card on Pinterest and really liked how striking the birds are on the black background. I made my own, similar but not the same as the one I found on Pinterest. The birds were colored with Blends again and fussy cut. These boogers weren't the easiest to cut out but for the two cards that I made, I was OK with it. If you get this card in the mail from me, you are pretty special!

I hope you are creating and sharing what you are making too. It's fun to see what others do with the same paper, stamps and inks. The ideas are endless!

Happy Stampin'!

Honey Bee

The new set Honey Bee and the Designer Series Paper, Golden Honey, are so much fun to play with together. I made these cards for the blog hop I was just part of but then decided to share them later. I hope you enjoy!

I stamped the hive in Daffodil Delight and die cut it. The bees were stamped with black Stazon and die cut too. I did color the strips with my Daffodil Delight marker. I then added Wink of Stella to the wings.

I think this paper from Golden Honey is my favorite. I love the gold flowers. My bees were stamped with black, colored with Daffodil Delight marker and Wink of Stella on the wings.

The black background of this paper is so striking and rich. I cut the panel into three pieces. The bee was done the same way as the others. The Wink of Stella on those wings really make the wings seem like the real thing to me.
