Stylish Sketches Stamp Set from Sale-a-Bration

Hi everyone! Today I am playing around with the Stylish Sketches stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog! Sale-a-Bration runs July and August and there are many items to choose from, FREE when you spend $50 or some when you spend $100. The Stylish Sketches stamp set is one of the free with a $50 purchase items.

I love the sketchy look to the images on this set. I love to draw and these stamps made me think of an art journal. I thought I would go with that feel by adding the fringed edges to look, as if they were torn from the pages of my journal. The Die I used to achieve this is from the Happiness Abounds bundle.

In keeping with my Art Journal feel, I used my Watercolor Pencils to color the images.

Check out my How to Video here:

The fox is my favorite as we have one that roams through our yard a couple times a week.

I paired the cards with the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper. This paper is also FREE with a $50 purchase.

Here's a picture of our neighborhood fox going down the driveway.

I think these would make a nice note card set.

Shop with me! I would love to be your demonstrator. I always send a hand stamped thank you card and sometimes more with a larger order, and I share my Stampin' Rewards with you through my Frequent Buyer Rewards! Earn FREE STAMPS! Click on the Frequent buyer tab to download the tracking sheet.

Love of Leaves

Hi everyone! Today I want to share a collection of cards made with the Love of Leaves bundle. This bundle is all me! I love fall, I love leaves and I love these colors!! I thought I would share a bunch of cards, all made with the same colors!

First up is a card that I copied from the catalog. Sometimes making a card that you see somewhere else is a good way to jump into the stamp set and get a feel for the products. I loved this card because of the fun plaid and the use of the negative space left behind when the leaf was cut out.

For this card I took that same card idea, but turned it into a shaker card by adding a clear window sheet behind the open leaf and adding some sequins.

I used the left over strip of Plaid Tidings Paper from the first card to make this card. I also used the leaf that was cut out. The dies with this set are really fun with the stitching detail.

I made a second card but changed up the sentiment.

This card is from a swap and unfortunately I don't know who made it! (let me know if it's yours! ) I loved the style of this one and the pretty Vellum leaf.

These next couple of cards are catalog samples.

Here is a video I made showing off all the items used for the cards as well as a step by step for how to make two of them. I hope you'll check it out!

Watercolor Sunset

Hi Everyone. Today I want to share a pretty and simple card using the new Field of Flowers stamp set.
I used the new Water Painters to make the background and I added some small dots of Wink of Stella to give the idea of fireflies.
The colors used here are Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point.
I added the Field and the Dragonflies in Black Stazon.

I really like this set for the fonts and sentiments, but on this card, I didn't really use them! I like that you can combine the various stamps to make different sentiments.

There is a coordinating paper punch, which I think is really fun. I have used the little flowers on several cards with many stamp sets. This is a punch you will use again and again. The little flowers are fun to add to the field image, but are great on their own as well.

The little flowers would be nice as card confetti and also for shaker cards.

I made a video for my Sunset card. I hope you'll check it out.

Using Stampin' Up's New Water Painters

Hi Everyone. Today I wanted to play around with the new 'Water Painters' from Stampin' Up! These new water painters replace the 'Aqua Painters' from previous catalogs. I LOVED the Aqua Painters, so when I saw they were being replaced I had to put the new version on my first order. I was curious to find out if they lived up to the older version and I am happy to announce that they do! And, the new set comes with a set of 2 round brushes AND a flat wash brush! The set of three Water Painters are just $12.00. I used the flat wash brush for a variety of backgrounds and it worked so smoothly, I was really pleased with it. I made several backgrounds and used them for some Birthday cards. All the cards use the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I really like this stamp set because of the "Happy (a little bit late) Birthday. I try to be timely but I must admit that I am often a few days late with my birthday cards! This stamp is perfect for me!
Here is a video of how to make this simple watercolor backgrounds.

This first card uses the wide flat wash brush to make some stripes on the background. This card uses Night of Navy and Magenta Madness. The cute tiny flowers are from the new Confetti Flowers Border Punch. The sentiment is embossed in white embossing powder.

This second card also uses the Confetti Flowers Border punch. The colors for this card are Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, and Night of Navy. I used an emboss resist technique on this card.

This next card uses the Wink Of Stella pen to achieve some fun splatter patterns. The colors here are Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, and Gorgeous Grape. The sentiment is embossed on Basic Black.

This card uses Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and BlackBerry Bliss for the background. I added some sequins from the Artistry Blooms Sequin assortment. I used an emboss resist techniuqe on this card.

I made a couple additional cards using some scraps of water color paper that I made while practicing with the Water Painters. This card uses the watercolored paper under a die cut from the Stitched Triangles dies.
