Good-bye to Colourful Seasons Stamp Set and Dies

Hi Everyone:
Another one of my favourite stamp set and dies is retiring - Colourful Seasons.  I love this stamp set because it has images for all seasons and beautiful sentiments.  The dies are fun as shown in the framed piece above.  I copied this idea from Steph VanDorp.  I made this decor piece for Canada's 150th Birthday for the participants of an All-Day Crop I held in 2017.  Lots of fun!

The cards below demonstrate the beautiful sentiments.  Both sayings are pertinent at this time to send to a friend.

Capture the Good Stamp Set

Hi Everyone,
The Last Chance (Retiring Product) List came out today.  Capture the Good Stamp Set is among the products that are retiring. As a person who takes a lot of pictures, I love this stamp set.  It is great for card making as well as using on your scrapbook pages.

Recipe

• Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock 4 1/4 x 11.  Score at 5 1/2 and 2 3/4.
• Fold the card in half along the score line and then half again on the score line to make a Z-fold.
• Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 4 x 2 1/4 and adhere it to the front of the card.
• Cut a piece of white cardstock 4 x 2 1/4. Stamp the camera image using black ink.
• Cut a piece of yellow cardstock 4 1/4 x 2 3/4.  Adhere the stamped camera image to this piece of cardstock.
• Stamp the words "the focus is all on you" on a scrap of white cardstock using black ink. Punch it out using a 1 1/2" circle punch. Sponge around the circle using yellow ink using a sponge or dauber.  Adhere this to the front of the camera using Dimensionals.
• Adhere the yellow cardstock to the front of the card keeping in mind that only half of this piece is adhered to the card front.
• Cut a piece of white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4. Stamp the sentiment "it's your day" to the bottom right hand corner using black ink. Adhere to the inside of the card.

Simply Beautiful Cards

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my blog.  I am so excited to share my love of card making with you and ignite your creativity.  I am an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I will be using Stampin' Up! products.  Feel free to use whatever products you have.

During these uncertain times we all need a distraction or a break for our own mental health and stress.  Card making allows you to create or copy beautiful cards.  Remember the excitement you feel when you receive a handmade card in the mail?  Give someone that same feeling and let them know that you are thinking of them.  Some of my friends just make cards and keep them for themselves.  Either way card making brings joy to you and the world.

I want to highlight these simply beautiful cards.  The Designer Series Paper does all the work for you.  The paper is the wow in this card.

Recipe

• Cut a coloured card base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.
• Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4. 
• Wrap ribbon around the DSP and tie a bow. 
• Stamp sentiment in coordinating ink.  Cut out and adhere to the card using Dimensionals.  
• Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the inside of the card 4 x 5 1/4 and adhere to the inside.

Supplies I Used

• Poppy Parade for the card on the left and Mossy Meadow for the card on the right
• Peaceful Poppies DSP (151255)
• Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326)
