Hello,
Can you believe we have snow? It's April people! The good news is that its melting already. As good day to stay in and make cards.
Today, I am featuring the Pansy Petals Suite available in the new Stampin' Up catalogue May 4th 2021. The dsp in this suite is gorgeous. There are a lot of dies in the stamp/die bundle so the sky is the limit for design.
Hello,
Sitting at my desk with no plan in mind on a card to make, I began doodling and colouring on the True Love Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up. All the designs on the sheets of paper are black and white, some floral and some geometric and stripes. I picked a floral and thought I'd practice on my colouring and shading with the Stampin' Blends markers. Before I knew it, a card was born. I fussy cut the flowers and adhered them to the card underneath the sentiment strip.
Hello!
A few inches of snow fell last night creating a white blanket that needed to be shovelled this morning. Good exercise.
Today's card is made with the Art Gallery Suite but with a colour change up. Here I used Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write markers to colour the image before stamping. The card base is Petal Pink cardstock.
Hi, remember me?
It's been a while. This has been a crazy year. I retired, Covid-19 arrived and restrictions and lockdowns commenced. Not what I had planned for my retirement. Right now we are in another lockdown. So, I am making the best of it...making cards. I thought I'd get back at it. I made almost 200 Christmas cards. 90 of them went to a senior's residence where my MIL lives. So many of the residents do not have family visits on a normal basis never mind Covid. I thought it might bring a little cheer to them.
I also made some appreciation cards which I handed out, secretly, to homes on my street who had exceptional Christmas light displays. I found this year people decorated their homes more than any other year. So, 10 homes got 'thank you for bringing cheer and joy this Christmas' cards.
So, on to today's card. One of my favourite new stamp sets is Stampin' Up's Art Gallery Suite. The suite includes designer series paper, Fine Art Floral, 12 x 12 double sided sheets, the Art Gallery stamp set, the Floral Gallery dies. the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder, Fine Art ribbon, Gilded Leafing embellishment with Heat and Stick powder and Golden Garden Designer Specialty Paper. This set is so versatile. It can be used for birthday cards, sympathy cards, thinking of you cards....the list is endless.
All supplies are Stampin' Up from the Mini Catalogue january - June 2021
