Greetings From!

Guess what I have for you tonight?  Another super cute card using a set that is currently on sale for 30% off!  This set of notecards was designed by my bestie Kimberly Van Diepen, aren’t these the cutest evah?  And isn’t this a must have set????

All of these cute images come from the Greetings From Photopolymer set.  They were stamped on watercolor paper and then colored in with an aqua painter and ink.  Images from a new set in the upcoming Occasions Catalog (available January 5th) provide the grungy backgrounds.  I’m pretty excited about this set being released, it’s called Timeless Textures and I suspect it will see lots of ink in my stamp room!

It’s Day 2 of the gigantor online sale….have you ordered your lovelies yet???  If you haven’t, this project will add this set to your must have list and guess what, it’s on sale 🙂

My card tonight is an old one from my stash and features balloon images from Celebrate Today and one of the sentiments from Lovely Amazing You.  That font is swoon-a-liscious!  Lovely Amazing You is 20% off while supplies last and has the best sentiments in the prettiest font!  I honestly can’t remember what colors I used in this card…rut roh.  The balloons are on watercolor paper, some are white embossed with the stars from Celebrate Today and then cut out with the Balloon Framelits set.  I love how all of these products coordinate to give you the tools to make something visually amazing in just a few minutes!  The sentiment is white embossed on vellum and die cut.

Lots of other goodies are on sale and today I am featuring an adorable card made with one of the stamp sets that is 30% off throughout the sale.  It is a great set to use with Project Life too, when you are documenting your vacation travels.

I used the Map it Out Photopolymer set.  It is found online only and is not in the catalog.  You can find all of the online only photopolymer sets HERE.

I just spent the last week and a half in Florida with my bestie and yesterday, alas, it was time to come home.  This card expresses how I was feeling about leaving.  We had soooooo much fun, laughed till we cried.  And till our sides hurt.  We get in plenty of ab work when we are together just laughing!

The main image from the set is white embossed on watercolor paper.  Next random color was added with an aqua painter.  A tiny banner was added to the top left corner and a simple sentiment banner was white embossed on vellum and stretched across the US image at an angle.  That amazing sentiment is a sneak peak of a new set that is coming in the Occasions Catalog January 5th.  I just know it is going to see a lot of ink in my stamp room…LOVE this new set!  The airplane came out of the Greetings From photopolymer set.  It’s on sale for 30% off too and is another great Project Life set!  It was stamped with Stazon ink on Silver Foil and cut out.

Peaceful Wreath

I played with the Peaceful Wreath Stamp Set and Wonderful Wreath Framelits today.  My idea was to change it up to not so traditional Christmas colors and I love how the card came out!  This card looks lots more complicated than it actually was to make, lotsa wow factor!  Nothing about it is perfectly placed, it is a lovely, random mess of pretty 🙂

The base of the card front is watercolor paper cut slightly smaller than usual:  3 3/4 x 4 3/4.  The large bough image from the set is white embossed randomly on the watercolor paper and then watercolored in Mint Macaron and Mossy Meadow ink.  No effort was made to “stay in the lines”, just random watercoloring on and around the images.  The wreath image was white embossed on vellum and then cut out with the wreath thinlit die.  A star banner (from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit die set) was cut out of Mint Macaron.

The sentiment banner is stamped on Whisper White card stock, the “Peace” is offset from “to the world” on the banner so the banner fits under the right side of the wreath.  Sparkly embellishments are Mint Macaron and Silver Foil stars punched with the Confetti Stars Border Punch and rhinestones randomly scattered around the rest of the elements.

I thought the card needed a pop of another color and the Blossom Accent in Watermelon Wonder worked perfectly for that.  There is a little halo of Silver Thread added under the blossom for a tiny extra detail.  The finished card front is adhered to a Mint Macaron base.

I’m only in Florida for a few more days, this has been once again a wonderful time of creativity unleashed in so many ways!  My cup is (almost) full.

I hope you love this card as much as I do and it inspires you to make something lovely today!
