Debossed Sunflower

Hey all, it has been a minute! Sorry! But I was very creative yesterday and will have several things to share this week! First up, this lovely sunflower card! Everyone needs a sunflower in January :)

How fun right? Just a bit of time, and a little messy but otherwise straightforward. Emboss your cardstock in the Sunflower folder, then turn over to the debossed side. The indent, not the raised. Color in the "low" areas. Anything that is raised will get inked with the pad later, and likely some of what you color. But look at the petals, centers, leaves. I used Blends, I assume regular markers would work too. They are a little more intense and hard to direct to certain areas. Blends also give you light and dark. I may give it a shot though, later this week and see! I used Daffodil Delight light and dark for the petals, Old Olive for the leaves, and Crumb Cake in the flower centers. 

Then I went over it all with my Early Espresso ink pad. A foam pad is going to work best and a fairly well inked one. Not over inked as that will likely just bleed everywhere! I laid it down sideways (shorter) on scratch paper, and with the pad at an angle, so the top edge is catching the cardstock but not the entire pad, went top to bottom twice in one spot, then moved over. About 3 "stripes" will cover all. You can repeat anywhere you need to. Angle your pad just a tad and don't have a heavy hand. Let it sit and dry for several minutes!! I love it and can't believe I waited this long to try it!

The folder is on my desk so I hope to play more! I have one more to share later plus several other cards as well. So check back this week!

Pear Thank you

Hey all! Finished some cards this week! We're ready for Christmas aside from cooking so I've taken some time to get back on track in the stamp room! Finishing projects I've started before I start any new!

I started these quite a while ago, when this set was much newer to me. Unfortunately, parts of the Suite are now on the Last Chance list! I've linked all below, so click to get to my store! Very fun creation, using accent dies, DSP and dies for the stamps! Card base is Darling Duckling, background is DSP. Pears were inked with Darling Duckling, then daubered on some Old Olive. Die cut the pears and leaves and attached to a square cut with the Stylish Shapes die set. The banner is also from that set! Darling Duckling accent dots finish the card. Oh, and check out that ribbon. Dual sided, the other side features more green (Mossy Meadow) while this side is gold!

These will be hitting the mail after Christmas, don't want them to get lost :) Product details and links below! Thanks for stopping by!!

Remarkable Hello

For some reason I've seen lots of samples with the You are Remarkable set so I grabbed it and played a little last weekend! I must admit, I totally overlooked the "solid" images in this set. In my head it has always been a "have to color" set, but NOPE! The flower is a little easier to align then the stem, but we got close!

Color is Strawberry Slush. Stem is Granny Apple Green. Basic Black accent layer and "hello" from the Simply Said set. DSP is from the Floral Impressions pack and the pearls are from the 25-27 In-Color Pearls. Very quick and easy!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT Thanksgiving tomorrow, or whenever you are getting together with family &/or friends! Our turkey is on the smoker right now!! YUM :)

Big Thanks

Howdy all! Sharing today cards created with the stamp set from the 12 days of Crafting Advent calendar! I've had it sitting here for a while, decided to finally break into it this week! Check over on Facebook to see what I've found so far! I've shared the first few days.

I chose flowers in Fall colors for the notes I needed to send. Love how it came out! And imagine all the other color possibilities! I grabbed Basic Beige for my card base and background. Rather new to SU! color but I'm liking it! The large flower is stamped in Crushed Curry, smaller in Pumpkin Pie, centers and accent in Pecan Pie. I ran the background through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine with the Dotted Circles folder (love!) for some texture then layered onto Pecan Pie. Saying is stamped on a banner cut with the Stylish Shapes dies and attached over Basic Beige ribbon with dimensionals.

I will be playing with this set more, and adding the other goodies I've found :) The calendar box is still available, link below! It has been fun to see what is behind each door, and will be more fun to use everything!! Stampin' Up! did a great job with the assortment of all occasion products!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope to be back soon. Have a GREAT weekend and hope you find time to create!!
