Case the Catalog Peaceful Moments

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another one of the card that I received from the Case the Catalog Swap that I took part in recentently. Sandy Risi was the person that created this Catalog Case for this Swap. I wanted to take the time and share this super cute clean & simple card featuring products from the Peaceful Poppies Suite. I love this card that came from the new January - June Mini Catalog. Here's a look at the card.

This card design features the Poppy Moments Dies and the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. It's a clean and simple card design and could be changed up for any occasion. I think that's one of the things that I like about the card Sandi decided to case. It's a great little design but very versatile at the same time. And you could use up some of your scraps to create it.

I also like this design because it allows you to showcase the designer series paper as well as the dies. Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper features hand painted blooms and watercolor washes that make beautiful backgrounds or focal points for cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper crafts. Patterns include floral prints, stripes, polka dots, and more.

Create fancy, layered die-cut poppies, leaves, and more to add beauty and depth to your handmade cards, scrapbooks, journals, and other paper crafts using the Poppy Moments Dies just like was done here on today's card. Pair the dies with the coordinating Peaceful Moments Stamp Set to add heartfelt sentiments to your projects for birthdays, congratulations, sympathy, thank you, and more. This is also the bundle that I am featuring in this month's Technique and Fancy Fold Club. If you are interested in joining the club you can do so until the 20th. You can find all the information by clicking on the image below. The club was designed so that everyone will learn either a new fun fold or stamping technique. It's also priced so that demonstrators can take part at the same price as anyone else.

Happy Stampin'

Day of Thanks Feather Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a card using the Day of Thanks Stamp Set. I used the feather image from the stamp set to create the major part of my card. This is a super simple and easy card to make and fast to reproduce. Here's a look at my card.

Don't be a turkey. Express your thanks with the Day of Thanks Stamp Set. The realistic images and heartfelt sentiments radiate gratitude. Our cling stamps features premium rubber stamp that have been deeply etched with the images so you get a superior stamped impression each time. They are precut so you don't have to trim. Cling stamps are repositionable; temporarily mount them on clear blocks for stamping, then remove them for storage. The Day of Thanks stamp set features five cling stamps featuring wonderful Thanksgiving imagery.

I repeatedly stamped the feather from the stamp set onto my Whisper White Thick Cardstock in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the sentiment onto a stitched whisper white circle. I popped the circle up on Stampin' Dimensionals. And this my friends finished my card. Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving day tomorrow.

Happy Stampin'

Fall Leaves with Stampin' Blends - Gather Together Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a super pretty Fall card for you, feathering some Fall leaves and Stampin' Blend coloring. I used the Gather together Stamp Set for my card today. Which features a large leaf that's a line art image perfect for coloring with any media you pick. I went with Stampin' Blends to have some wonderful vivid color. Using the Stampin' Blends to color with helped to achieve the Fall colors I was going for. Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks:

To start my card I took a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock and and stamped the large leaf image from the Gather Together Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black ink. I let the ink dry completely before I started coloring.

Once the ink was completely dry it was time to start coloring. For each leaf I did a four color blend; by that I mean I used four different stampin' blends to color each one. I started off by coloring the bottom leaf with Mango Melody light and dark with Daffodil Delight light and dark. For the red leaf I used Cherry Cobbler light and dark with a little Real Red and Rich Razzleberry. On the third leaf I used Mango Melody Pumpkin pie and a just a little Soft Suede. By using the four colors I was able to give the leaves a more realistic look.

Once all the leaves where colored I used the matching dies to cut them out. It was time to put everything together. I used a Thick Whisper White Card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. Before putting all the leaves on the card base I flicked on a little Basic Black ink to tie in the tuxedo black that I stamped with. Once the ink dried I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with my paper snips. I then started arranging everything on the card base.

Once I had everything arranged the way I wanted; it was time to start attaching everything to the card. I attached some of the leaves with liquid glue (the pumpkin pie leaf). For the more yellow leaf I used both liquid glue and a couple stampin' dimensionals. By doing this it allows for more dimensionals to the card but allows the eye to be drawn to the leaf that's completely popped up (Cherry Cobbler leaf) as well as the sentiment.

To finish off the card I added the sentiment with a few mini dimensionals and added some gold sequins to add a little bling to the card. I hope that you have enjoyed my little Fall card today; sadly Fall will be over soon and we will not get to see all the beautiful colors that comes with this time of year again until next year. But, there is another way to keep seeing these colors all year long, how you may be asking? Well, that's if you have the Gather Together stamp and die set along with stampin' blends. Thanks for dropping by, I will see you again tomorrow, remember that today kicks off this years Online Extravaganza sale in my online store. This sale only last for three days and you can stock up on some great products at a discount.
