The Other Daisy Sneak Peek

Heart's Delight Cards, Daisy Lane, Any Occasion Card, 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Stampin' Up!

This was the other card I made for the Stamp Review Crew hop before I realized I had used the wrong daisy stamp set. D'oh! I like the kind of vintage feel of it. Originally I had planned to just go with a black and white color scheme, with maybe a pop of Bermuda Bay.

As I was heading over to the DSP to grab something black & white, I noticed the Share What You Love Specialty DSP and suddenly Crumb Cake jumped into the picture. Funny how that happens....I start in one direction and end up going in a completely different one. GPS is no help, either!

It's been a loooong time since I've distressed edges on my projects, and I couldn't find my distress tool, so I used my paper snips, held open. Worked like a charm!

You Light Up My Life

Heart's Delight Cards, Any Occasion Card, Fireflies, Jar of Love, Lightning Bugs, Stampin' Up

We saw the first fireflies of the season last night, and I was so excited that I had to make a card! LOL I used to catch them in a jar when I was a little girl in Virginia, but when the Navy transferred my dad to California, there weren't any there. I was so disappointed!

So, when we retired here to Tennessee, I was thrilled to be able to watch them flickering in the yard and the trees and the hay field. When they really get going, it looks like twinkling Christmas lights. Love it!

Obviously, I don't hunt them down with a jar anymore. I just like to sit on the porch and watch them hunting for a mate. I hope we have a good display this year. We had a rather cold winter, which can diminish the number of larva that live underground.

Card details:

Stamped jar and fireflies in Basic Black Archival on 2-7/8" x 4-1/8" Shimmery White.
Stamped glow with Lemon Lime Twist, stamped off once. Added a little Pineapple Punch glow around the LLT glow with a blender pen.
Sponged Night of Navy around jar, and a little lighter inside jar.
Adhered image to 3" x 4-1/4" Whisper White and 3-1/8" x 4-3/8" Basic Black mats, then to card base.
Stamped lid with VersaMark on Basic Black and heat embossed with Copper embossing powder. Cut with coordinating die and adhered with mini dimensionals.
Stamped greeting and cut with Lakeside Framelits label (shortened), then adhered with mini dimensionals.

Love What You Do

This is another card from one of the Share What You Love bundles. I have to say, I adore that sentiment! I DO love what do. I mean, what could be better than getting paid to do what you love and would be doing anyway?! Not much, I'd say.

The Share What You Love Specialty DSP has so many pretty patterns in it, but I think this one is one of my favorites. It's such a lovely combination of colors, and not too bold. So, what makes S.W.Y.L. a "specialty" DSP? Well, first of all, there are the pearlized accent sheets which add a subtle sheen to your projects. And another difference is, these sheets are much heavier than our regular DSP! They are sturdy enough to make gift boxes, which greatly expands their usefulness. And there are twenty-four sheets, not twelve!

For this card, I colored the Love What You Do blossoms with Rich Razzleberry Blends and fussy cut them out. After matting the DSP and adhering it to the card, I added a Pearlized Doily and Soft Sea Foam stitched circle to highlight the blossoms. The greeting was stamped and matted, then popped up on dimensionals, and the blossoms were tied with a bow and added last, also popped up.

Those colored pearls are part of the suite, too. I like that they are ready to go and I don't need to color them with a Stampin' Blends marker!

It's A BEAUTIFUL Day!

It really is! The dreary rain has ended and the sun is out. This is what I like to call "Goldilocks" weather - not too hot, not too cold...just right! And the Share What You Love suite of goodies was just made for days like this! In three more days you can get one of the early release bundles and start playing with it, too! There are three levels available, from the "Just Getting Started" bundle up to the "Gotta Have It All" bundle, and each one comes with one, two, or three free gifts, depending on the level.

In addition to the bundles mentioned, you can also get your happy little hands on the new In Color ink pads and save 10% on the bundle! How cool is that? Please keep in mind that these product bundles WON'T be in the new annual catalog on June 1st. The bundles are only available for the Early Release period from May 1-31. However, the In Color ink pads will still be available as a bundle.

For this card I stamped the leaves along the bottom of the DSP and added a strip of glimmer paper and the velvet ribbon. Then I added one of the pretty die cut labels in the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit (included in bundles 2 and 3). The greeting and the floral sprigs were stamped and the flowers colored with a Lovely Lipstick Light Stampin' Blends marker. Yes, there are new Stampin' Blends colors coming in the catalog!!! The pearlized cotton thread in the embellishment kit made a dainty bow tied in the corner.
