Card a Day One

I'm going to drop some of the card a day in May that I have done. Most do use retired products, that is what I have the most of. If something is current I will note it. Hopefully I can inspire you to create, with whatever products you have!! I know LOTS of you have LOTS of things that are not current. The goal is to CREATE!!

Day 1, Happy Birthday


Got out the new Golden Glow color, featuring the new ink pad design to try the dragging ink across a raised image technique. Still works but maybe not quite as well. Firmer pad, less flex when you go across. Current folder, ink, cardstock and embellishments - the In Color 26-28 dots.

Day 2, Thank you


This one is current, aside from the Pretty in Pink. Paradise Garden bundle, Secret Sea and Garden Green ink. Secret Sea ribbon. Accent dots also retired, do not remember the name.

Day 3, Mother's Day/Celebrate Mom


I did not use a 'Mother's Day' stamp as I do not have anyone to send that to, but did "you're absolutely amazing"! Retired set and die, Color & Contour. Colors are current: Petal Pink Lemon Lolly and Cloud Cover. Soft colors that are amazing together!!

Day 4, Thinking of You


Dug out an old favorite, Sheltering Tree. Layout inspired by Pinterest. Came out very neutral! Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, copper ribbon and brads. 

Day 5, Celebration


Perfect for Celebrate Sunflower! Love the saying, and this was quick to put together! Used a block for the color behind the sunflower. Retired color, Bumble Bee with Early Espresso!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to get the rest posted to follow! Current items listed/linked below! Remember the goal - CREATE!! Happy weekend all!!

Lovely Friend

Hey, all! It has been a minute since I was here! Have been creating, just not getting things shared here! Let's start with this one from yesterday, and I'll try to do a few other posts and drop lots of cards in the next few days!

I have been playing along with a challenge: Card a day in May! I'm just a few behind,2 I think, yesterday and today. Each day has a theme! for the 27th, it was Friendship! 

I recently got a couple of the new Shimmer Brushes. Think Wink of Stella, but with In Color! They are available in the 5 new In Colors. I grabbed Crisp Cantaloupe (LOVE that color!!) and got to work! Lovely Arrangements bundle, set and dies with the Lovely Blossoms DSP for the background. Crumb Cake pairs wonderfully with Crisp Cantaloupe. I cut the dots from Cantaloupe; the card base is also Cantaloupe as is the ribbon. Stamped the flowers with Black (the new Hybrid!), cut them with the die and then colored with just the Shimmer Brush. They curled a little bit and I don't hate it!! Used dimensionals to attach all and layer together. A few In Color dots are the final accent!

Thanks for stopping by! Product details and links below. Pop over to My Facebook page if you want to see all the recent creations, scroll and scroll! I will get them posted here over the next few days. Little crazy on the agenda today but the rest of the weekend looks calm!

Nature's Smile

Morning all! Back with another Nature's Symphony card! Simple, yet wow! There are two below as they came out slightly different!


Not a huge difference, just a little on the placement of the stem!

I wanted colors that weren't green. Guess I didn't go far from that, but I like it. Pretty Peacock card base, accent of Lost Lagoon. Background is Basic Beige and I put that through the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. Stem image stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut with the coordinating die. Circle cut from Basic White with the Spotlight on Nature dies. Love the Smile saying from the Nature's Symphony set. Stem is attached with Mini dimensionals, the saying with regular dimensionals. Ribbon is the Gold Striped mesh. I tried Basic Beige but it wasn't enough of a pop. Then the accents, necessary because of the open space. They are "clear" from the Polished Dots set. 

Full disclosure, I thought most things were current when I made this last week. Now, several seem to be gone. Last Chance lists came out yesterday. Product links are below, with details on what I used. Look around for other options if what you're looking at doesn't come up. Sorry, inventory changes in a flash!! Some may be just temporarily out of stock as well.

Thanks for stopping by today! I've got to get taxes done this week, then I hope to be back more!!
