Waves of Inspiration

This week I’m using the Waves of the Ocean suite which will be featured in the upcoming annual catalog. But it’s available now and the DSP, blue foils pack and the embellishments are only available whilst supplies last. Today I’m using the stamp set and the dies.

This monochrome card was made in Night of Navy to match the blue foil on Whisper White. The blue foil mats the main layer and it was also cut out using the Waves dies and glued to the card with liquid glue. I added some Wink of Stella and a few of the beautiful Rhinestones Waves Basic Jewels.

This was the second card that I made in this design. The original was this one but when recreating it on my live this morning, I decided to try monochrome. Which do you prefer?

I made the monochrome along with 2 others on my Facebook Live this morning at 11am. It was also copied to YouTube.

Awesome Otters

This week the set I’m using is the Sale-a-bration $50 freebie Awesome Otters. I’m also adding in some Simply Marbleous DSP since it’s so great. I also brought in the Celebrate with Flowers stamp set because I love the vertical sentiment.

A 4 by 4 1/4″ piece of the Simply Marbleous DSP was attached to a Balmy Blue mat. Next the sentiment, from Celebrate with Flowers, was stamped in Balmy Blue. Then the matted DSP was attached to the Whisper White card base. 

The main image was stamped in Sahara Sand and colored with Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo and Balmy Blue water color pencils. A blender pen smoothed out the lines. Wink of Stella was added to the Balmy Blue to give the water some depth.

The Whisper White layer was matted in Balmy Blue and glued to the card base. Finally a trio of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Gems were added.

I demonstrated this card along with 2 others using this set on my Facebook Live earlier today.

Awesome Otters

Apologies for being a day late; a covid booster on top of being sick last week took out all my preprepared cards.

This week the set I’m using is the Sale-a-bration $50 freebie Awesome Otters. I’m also adding in some Simply Marbleous DSP since it’s so great. Although Mint Macaron isn’t mentioned in the colors it goes really well with the paper as you can see here.

A 2′ deep piece of the Simply Marbleous DSP was attached to a Mint Macaron card base. Next the sentiment, from Awesome Otters, was stamped in Early Espresso. Then the image was stamped in Sahara Sand and colored with Early Espresso and Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write marker. A blender pen smoothed out the lines. 

The Whisper White layer was matted in Early Espresso and added to the card base using dimensionals. Finally a Gilded Gem was added as the bobble on top of his party hat.

I’ll be demonstrating this card along with 2 others using this set on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST.

Awesome Otters

This week the set I’m using is the Sale-a-bration $50 freebie Awesome Otters. I’m also adding in some Simply Marbleous DSP since it’s so great.

As usual, a nice simple and clean card. A piece of the Simply Marbleous DSP was attached to a Balmy Blue card base. Then the image was stamped in Sahara Sand and colored with Early Espresso and Balmy Blue watercolor pencils. A blender pen removed  the lines on the otter and Wink of Stella did the same for the water including adding a little sparkle. 

The Whisper White layer was matted in Balmy Blue and the sentiment from Awesome Otters was stamped in the same color. This layer was added to the card base using dimensionals

I’ll be demonstrating this card along with 2 others using this set on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST.

Catching Butterflies

Here’s the third card using the Sale-a-bration set Catching Butterflies which is available with a $50 order – until Feb 28th. I also pulled in the Sale-a-bration sentiment set, Special Moments and the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I decided that I wanted to have a rainbow of butterflies. I’m not sure why unless it was the Pink Floyd t shirt I was wearing that day. The ink pads used were Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point and Gorgeous Grape. After using the butterflies stamp, I added a few of the single ones too.

This stamped layer was added to a Mango Melody card base. Next the sentiment from Special Moments was stamped in Mango Melody and cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The sentiment was popped up with some dimensionals

I demonstrated this card yesterday at 11am EST on my Facebook Live which was then be uploaded to You Tube. There were also 2 more cards made with this set. Check out the replay.
