Layered Fresh Florals

It's officially May which means it's time to say goodbye to all the retiring stamp sets. In total, I'm losing 18 stamp sets from my collection (although a few of those will be kept because I love them so much). Many of these stamp sets are still available, but they are no longer guaranteed. If you want any of the sets features, buy now before they are gone!

After making my set of Fresh Floral Feathery Friends cards, I had a ton of random DSP strips that I could throw away or do something with. I decided to make a few simple cards using those strips. After adhering my strips, I die cut a Just Add Text label. Simple, but very colorful cards!

Just Add Florals

Just a quick card for today highlighting my favorite retiring sentiment set, Just Add Text, and the lovely DSP, Fresh Florals. I would recreate this card in all the current In Colors if I had coordinating ribbon, but alas, I only had Berry Burst. And actually this card used the last of the Berry Burst ribbon.

Feathers and Florals

I love the 2017-2019 In Colors and am sad to say goodbye to the gorgeous Fresh Florals DSP pack. Of course I had to make a set of cards featuring the paper, but also feature the hostess set Feathery Friends. I love any stamp set that I get to color. It's not my usual color, but I think the Powder Pink card is my favorite.

Powder and Gray

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the sketch below.

I decided to use a very simple color palette for my card. I pulled three different patterns of Powder Pink DSP from the Fresh Florals stack and played around with layering them. I realized that I didn't want to use one of the patterns to stamp on, so I made my own! I stamped the single flower image from Birthday Blooms (one of my MVP stamp sets), die cut it, and stamped on a sentiment from a different stamp set (Sharing Sweet Thought). For embellishment, I simply added a bitty bow.

CASEing Anastasia

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from our new design team member Anastasia Radloff who blogs at Stampin' Blondie. I decided to CASE this fun card from last summer. I kept the same stamp set, design, and paper as Anastasia. I did change up some of the colors and switched out the plain Lemon Lime Twist piece of cardstock with the Lemon Lime Twist glimmer paper. I love the bit of glitter it gives the card. Overall I really love this little card from Anastasia. I was very excited to CASE her this month.

Tranquil Reindeer

Rose Red, Tranquil Tide, and Smoky Slate equal a great nontraditional color palette for today's card. The pattern of the DSP reminded me of Christmas decorations, so I had to use it.

Berry Burst Floral Butterfly

A simply in color butterfly card for August's die cuts class. I love the inset butterflies allowing for the DSP to shine through. After assembling the basic card, I went back in and added a bit of Wink of Stella to the Berry Burst butterfly. (Can't see in the picture, but it's nice and shiny in person.) I also added a matching Bitty Bow as a last touch.
