Little Ladybug

During Sale-a-bration last year, there was a special stamp set that you could earn as a hostess gift called Little Ladybug.  I actually didn't even open the case until about a month ago when I was putting together a birthday card for a family member.  

I decided to go with a simple flower image in the background and a popped up die cut circle with the ladybug image.  Both are colored in with Stampin' Blends and one is done on Whisper White card stock and the other on Very Vanilla.

Supplies:

Little Ladybug

Memento Black, Cherry Cobbler ink

Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow card stock

Stampin' Blends

Stitched Shapes framelits

Create custom die-cut shapes such as circles, squares, and ovals, in record time using the Stitched Shapes Dies. The dies are perfect for creating cards for any occasion.


* 12 dies

Stampin' Up! On Stage Projects

I was recently able to take part in Stampin' Up!'s On Stage At Home event, normally I am not able to attend the in person events because they happen during a time of the year that could interfere with farming schedules (one just never knows about the weather!).  So this time, COVID 19 helped me to attend...and I am very grateful to have been able to take part in it!

These cards were part of the stamp and share experience (make and take type of portion of the event). While I did not purchase the actual products that were used, we had the dimensions of the materials ahead of time and I chose to use what I had at home.

For the designer series paper, I chose to use the Snowflake Splendor collection and pulled the ink and card stock colors from that with the exception of Mossy Meadow which I just threw in the mix. For the stamp sets, I chose In the Pines, For Unto Us and Tasteful Textures.  

Supplies:

For Unto Us, On the Pines, Tasteful Textures

Mossy Meadow, Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, 

Highland Heather ink

Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Balmy Blue, Pool Party, Purple Posy card stock

This month's projects again use a variety of different designer series paper and color combinations.  

The layout is focused on the colors in the Flowers for Every Season designer series paper stack...
