Sheltering Tree on Soft Sky

DSCF7574

I saw a similar card to this on Pinterest somewhere (if it was your website, feel free to tag yourself in the comments and I will give you credit!)  I just loved the ability to create so much texture on one layer of paper!  Completely mailable!  I love how you can just use colors and stamps and create a lovely visual scene!

Of course, you need something inside, as well!  Here’s a little matching tree.

Stamps:  Sheltering Tree

Ink:  Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Wild Wasabi, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso

Hooray!

I love this sunburst mask!!!!  I couldn’t wait to get this mask and use it with the spritzer!  In love!!

Now, the rest of the card went together so easily, I decided to use the same format for my club – it is a good unisex card that could be really used for any occasion.  Since there weren’t enough pieces for my club members, my son helped me cut out all of the pieces using the Balloon Framelits.  He just turned 3 and he absolutely loves turning the handle and getting all the pieces at the end of the Big Shot!  I think the banner was a leftover piece from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

Hooray it’s Your Day Card #2

DSCF7573

Here is the second card that I made from the Hooray It’s Your Day project kit.  This is a scalloped mask that I used for the pink design on the card.  I mix several drops of Melon Mambo with rubbing alcohol for the spritzer – super easy and it dries really fast. 

I followed the design as it was listed other than changing the color.  It came together so quickly!  I love the ease of the kit and the cute design for all the birthday parties we end up going to!

Hooray It’s Your Day card

DSCF7571

I recently purchased the Hooray It’s Your Day card kit and matching stamp set.  I mostly just wanted the masks in the kit!  I just love the spritzing and masking trend that makes adding color so easy.

On this particular card, the front has an emboss resist ready to create a design.  I decided I didn’t really care for the green/yellow look, so I stuck with Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight re-inkers in my spritzers.  It made for a fun and delightful card for Halleigh’s friend who just had a birthday party!

Here was the inside of the card – I just adore the gift card holder!  Super easy to create – already cut and scored for you!

Blendabilities Update

Sadly, Blendabilities have been discontinued for Stampin’ Up.  Unfortunately, the manufacturer was experiencing a 30% fail rate with the markers, including a fail rate of up to 30% before the markers even arrived at Stampin’ Up!  While this product success rate is completely unacceptable, I am still saddened to see such a terrific product become discontinued.  I sincerely believe Stampin’ Up has seen how much the customer and demonstrator base has loved the markers.  I think they will probably look into another similar product for the future, but for now, they are discontinued.

That being said, I still love playing with my Blendabilities and the way they look on my cards!  This was my favorite card out of all the cards I made Tuesday with this stamp set. 

I colored the image with my Blendabilities.  That’s it!  Simple and just simply gorgeous.  (Sniff, sniff!)

Stamps:  Indescribable Gift

Ink:  Memento Black, Blendabilities – Calypso Coral, Blush, Colorless blender, Bronze, Wild Wasabi

Paper:  Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White
