Just Kidding Friends

 

To finish off the series of Just Kidding cards, I have two simple layouts for you today.  The first uses a strip of Sweet Taffy designer series paper and some stamped images from the Petal Potpourri stamp set in the background.

 

The second has some stamped images from the Painted Petals stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink.

 

 

Supplies:

Just Kidding, Petal Potpourri, Painted Petals

Just Kidding Birthday 2

 

Ok, we are back to the Just Kidding samples - just two more days of them and then we will move on (for now, LOL!).  

 

I again have used a This Day Project Life mini card collection piece as a background for the top layer and added some Sale-a-bration buttons as well.

Just Kidding Challenges

 

For this background I used a Project Life card from the Sale-a-bration This Day mini card collection.  I also added a few candy dots for a little fun texture.

Just Kidding "Goodbye"

 

 As promised I am sharing some Just Kidding cards with you the next several days.  For this one, I used some Painted Blooms designer series paper and washi tape.

 

The image is colored with blendabilities markers, but the regular markers work just as well.

 

Supplies:

Just Kidding

Painted Blooms dsp

Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana card stock

Memento Black ink

Blendabilities markers

washi tape

Typeset Blend

Realizing I had not pulled out my Perfect Blend stamp set for quite awhile, I decided to make a couple cards using it and some scraps from my scrap bin. 

 



 

I stamped the cup images on Very Vanilla and Typeset specialty paper and cut out the pieces.  Then I added a little color with my Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers.

 

The sentiments are punched with the hexagon punch and on the card above, I added some 7/8" Sahara sand lace trim and a piece of Flashback designer series paper.

 

You have seen the basic part of the card above a time or two, I guess I made too many of this layer for a project at one time, LOL! 

 

Supplies:

Perfect Blend

Coastal Cabana ink and blendabilities, Memento Black ink

Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Basic Black card stock

Typeset specialty paper

Flashback designer series paper

Circles framelits

Chevron folder

Hexagon punch

7/8" Sahara Sand lace trim

Moon Lake

 

I really like the images in the Moon Lake stamp set that is in the Occasions catalog, but as you probably know already, I don't enjoy coloring a whole lot.  On this card, I used my blendabilities to add a little color after I stamped the image on Baked Brown Sugar card stock.

 

The background is a couple different patterns of designer series paper from the Adventure Bound stack.

 

Supplies:

Moon Lake

Confetti White, Baked Brown Sugar card stock

Adventure Bound dsp

Early Espresso ink

Crumb Cake, olive, Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers

 

February Stamp Club projects

 

This month at stamp club the cards focus on blendabilities.  I have chosen the Love is Kindness and A Happy Thing (SAB 2015) stamp sets for the images and used the Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler blendabilities.

 

This card pairs the Arrows impressions folder with some organza ribbon for the background.

 

There is a strip of Painted Blooms designer series paper behind the image on this one.

 

And on the layout, I have chosen to use the Best Year Ever (SAB 2015) designer series paper as the focus pairing it with card stock colors that coordinate.

 



 

I also stamped an image from Best Year Ever (SAB 2015) on the right side page in the corner.

Dahlias

 

I realized I had not used my Regarding Dahlias stamp set in awhile so I pulled it out one day and played with it a little bit.  The two cards below show a the same image stamped on the same color of card stock with the same ink, but one is colored with blendabilities and one is left without any coloring.

 

On the top one, I used the Coastal Cabana blendabilities to color in the flower.  It pops it out a little, but since it is stamped on Old Olive card stock, it is more subtle than if it was on a lighter color.

 

This one is left alone and I just added a layer and some extras to it.  Which do you prefer?

 

Supplies:

Regarding Dahlias

Simply Wonderful

December Paper Pumpkin stamp

Coastal Cabana blendabilities

Memento Black ink

Bermuda Bay ink

Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss card stock

Banner Blessings

I just love the new photopolymer stamp set called Banner Blessings!  The card I am sharing today uses it and I had to take a picture with my phone because I gave it away shortly after I made it...sorry for the poorer quality of the picture!

 



 

I chose to add a circle of the image from Pleasant Poppies behind the saying and used the Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers to make the saying pop.

 

Supplies:

Banner Blessings, Pleasant Poppies

Memento Black ink

Very Vanilla, Pool Party card stock

Coastal Cabana blendabilities

Typeset specialty paper

Blendabilities in Action

 

Although the Need for Speed stamp set is retired, I had some stamped images of a few in my scrap pile and I thought I would practice with the Blendabilities on them.  They turned out pretty well, but more practice is definitely in order.

 

I used the Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler collections.  The background is Gorgeous Grunge images and the sentiment comes from Boys will be Boys.

 

On each of the windows on the cars, I used the lightest of the Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers.

 

Supplies:

Boys will be Boys, Need for Speed, Gorgeous Grunge

Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Memento Black ink

Blendabilities markers

Whisper White and Smoky Slate card stock

Baptism Blessings

I recently need a baptism card and was so glad to have the Blessed by God stamp set available to do it!  Love that set....

 

 

The grid background is actually something I printed in My Digital Studio for another project, it was leftover and I thought it would work for this card too. 

 

The middle of the flowers have basic pearls in them, but they are colored with blendabilities to change their look a little.
