For You

I seem to lean toward shades of purple and blue when I pull out the Elegantly Said stamp set these days. For this card, I chose Gorgeous Grape and the retired Purple Posy for the ink colors and Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather for the card stock shades.

I stamped the larger images on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock in two corners and then cut the piece into three panels that I placed on the Highland Heather card stock layer. I also added some stamped images behind that layer on the card base.

There are a few Iridescent Rhinestones as accents on the sentiment layer as well.

Supplies:

Elegantly Said

Gorgeous Grape, Purple Posy ink

Very Vanilla, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather card stock

Iridescent rhinestones

Elegance is the word—and the image—with the Elegantly Said Stamp Set. The elegant script-styled greetings pair beautifully with the stately floral, flourish, and border images. However you mix and match them, these stamps will bring grace to your creations. This stamp set is also available in French.

Watercolor Birthday

A while ago when I was creating this card, my daughter looked at it and told me that is really different from most of the cards I put together and she is probably correct. The layout may be similar to things I have done in the past, but the stamping with shapes is not so common...she thought it was fun 😊

I used the Watercolor Shapes stamp set and Highland Heather, Pool Party and Polished Pink ink to create the pattern on the card and the sentiment layer. There is a small piece of 6" x 6" glimmer paper to add a little bling as well.

Supplies:

Watercolor Shapes

Polished Pink, Highland Heather, Pool Party ink

Flowers of Home

Scraps and lots of different products make up this sentiment free card...I began with the flower image and colored it in with Stampin' Blends markers before die cutting with the Flowers of Home die set.

Recently, I was trying to use up some of my designer series paper packs that had just a few pieces left in them by making multiples of different kinds of cards. I used two patterns of this paper from the Eden's Garden collection which is no longer available to purchase.

Perfect Birthday

I wanted to do something with the large flower image in the Blessings of Home stamp set that did not include coloring it in with Stampin' Write markers or Stampin' Blends. For something different, I pulled out the Watercolor Shapes stamp set and Balmy Blue, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam ink pads.

Then I added the flower image with Crumb Cake ink, popped up the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals and added a few Faux Sea Glass shapes to complete the project.

March Stamp Club Projects

There is lots of color and variety in our Stamp Club projects this month. I picked some projects that seemed a little spring like because at the time I designed them we were REALLY anxious for some warmer weather.  Thankfully, we have had some this past week and it has been wonderful!

For the layout I chose the Pattern Party designer series paper, which is a hostess product, because of all the colors and patterns in it. It is paired with the Ladybug Builder punch.

Our first card pairs the Stitched Triangles dies with the Hand Penned Petals stamp set and uses Soft Succulent, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Old Olive inks.

Next is a colorful card using the Abstract Beauty designer series paper and the Rain Boots bundle...

Finally, we used the Stitchery and Daisy Garden stamp sets along with the Biggest Wish set to create this card.

I hope you enjoyed our projects, we always welcome guests and new members! Contact me for more information.
