Biggest Wish - Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop

 Welcome to another Canada Inks Up! Team Bog Hop. This month we are showcasing Birthday cards and what better stamp to use than Biggest Wish with it's oversize greetings and scripty fonts too!

I made a couple of cards to share today - June and July are big birthday months in our family so I needed a few . . . . and the first one has a pocket inside for a gift card. I used Pansy Petals DSP for both cards and love that in spite of the name, there are designs that work for my guys as well as the ladies in my family who love their pansies! I have a cousin who is pansies everything in her house!

The gift card holder gets it's bling from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels and I picked the darker green to coordinate with the Evening Evergreen touches in the DSP. I did use Soft Seafoam Cardstock for my card bases and it works really well with the DSP. Here's a tip if you never noticed before - on the back of each pack of DSP is a list of solid colours that go with the patterns - so it's super easy to coordinate for any look! For the ombre look on the "Birthday" stamp I used a Sponge Dauber to add some Evening Evergreen Ink over the Soft Succulent ink before stamping. And I used my Stamparatus to line up all the "happy" words!

The next card is more traditional and used some cut ends from the first card - worked out really well and took all the scraps off my workspace too 😊. I popped the greeting part over the other layers and tied some Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon around that layer between two of the "happy" words and fastened with a glue dot behind the bow.

If birthday cards are hard for you to do, try one of these designs and share with us . . .  I'd love to see your projects! If you need any products, I'd be happy to have you shop with me - use my shopping link anytime - it really is open 24/7 for you to get what you need and have it shipped to your door.  Please use my current Host Code so I can track your order and send my thank you at month end.

Sunday Share - Expressions In Ink Is Cover Page Worthy!!

 

EXPRESSIONS IN INK SUITE

The Expressions in Ink suite is so gorgeous that it has a well-deserved place on the front cover of the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. This suite combines the abstract beauty, fluid design, and bold colours of alcohol inks and watercolor, without any of the mess! The gold embellishments and accents add the perfect touch of elegance to this artistically inspired suite.

The card tutorial below features heat embossing, paper-piecing, and layer upon layer of texture and detail. It's a great way to combine the watercolor images with the coordinating, but not matching, detailed die cuts. Just imagine all the colours you could re-create this project in for occasions like birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries.

While the Designer Series Paper is temporarily out of stock, it will be back soon and I can let you know as soon as it's available again - message me to get on my list. 

Reminder to check my Events page on my website to join any of my FREE events or message me for the links. I am taking July off from events, but will still be posting and sending newsletters to keep in touch! 

Last Chance for retiring products is going on now so get your wish list items from the Spring Mini before they are gone! Shop my online store or message me if you are local  - I have orders going in at noon June 23rd and can add yours!

Happy Stamping!

A Fun Fold Stair Card - Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop

Hi everyone! Today I'm joining a group of crafters sharing some "Fun Folds" with you so get comfy and check out all the designs - you are sure to find lots of inspiration in your Stampin' Dreams journey to each blog!

I think my card could be called a stair fold - but I'm not really sure. I got the idea years ago long before we had links to blogs and wrote down all the details and measurements except for a name - checking Pinterest this was as close as I could get to what I did 😊. I hope you like it!

I used the new Color & Contour stamp set in the Annual Catalogue for stamping all my images in Highland Heather ink . . .  it ending up being a monochrome card although that's not what I had in mind when I started out!  The Designer Series Paper is from the Hand-Penned pack - so many soft colours and the reverse side of the floral images was perfect for this scalloped circle background.  

I added the Whimsy Die onto the front folded layer and it actually showed some of the tracks through to the inner layer too which turned out kinda' cool!  Circles were die cut from the Layering Circles Dies, and the sentiment from the Scalloped Contour Dies available in a discounted bundle with the stamp set I used.

Finishing touches include the Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon and Opal Rounds which go really well with the Highland Heather Cardstock base and inks and I added a strip of the Designer Series Paper to my envelope flap too!

If you want to order any of the products I used today, you can shop online or contact me to help. If you shop online, please use my current Host Code 7YJYRDYC so I can track your order and send my thank you at the end of each month. 

Thanks for stopping by today  . . . .

Happy stamping

BUNDLE

Did you know that Bundles of stamps and punches or dies are available at a 10% discount? Here's an important tip! If you love the coordination of stamps and tools then don't miss saving 10%, because all bundles in the current Mini catalogues will retire and take the 10% savings with them. Some of the stamps, dies, and punches will still be available in future catalogues, but not as bundles, so the 10% savings ends. Bundles, because they include more than stamps are only available while supplies last, so you won't want to wait to get your bundles ordered.
