Tulips and Lipstick

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday.  The title of y post sounds like a book title, lol!  So I attempted to blog this card during VBS week and realized I forgot about it.  I wrote, "hi stampers" and that was it, LOL!!!!

Anyway, here it is with a bit of an unexpected color combo of Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, and Lovely Lipstick.  I was initially SO not a fan of this new in color but it's really growing on me!  I thought it made a great tulip color so here it is.


I hand drew my stems with my marker.  Hope everyone is having a good and long weekend with the 4th coming up!

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 140

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday once again!  This week's Fab Friday challenge is all about the brand new in colors!  Boy are they bright!  I'm not a huge fan of primary colors, but these are growing on me!  Here's your chance to try them out if you haven't.  You can use any or all.  Which one is your favorite?  Your least favorite?  I think my favorite is Blueberry!  I wasn't a fan of Clover but it will grow on me and I'm really coming around to Lipstick!



I wasn't so sure I liked them all paired together but I think my card made me change my mind!  That's usually the case with our in color after I use them for a bit.  I thought they'd look great with Varied Vases and I wasn't wrong!


I think the only think to really note here, is that I stamped my orchid by stamping off once and then coloring the little centers with my Grapefruit Grove marker.  I was really unsure of this one starting out but I think it made a pretty adorable card!

Make sure to check out the rest of the design team and then play along with us and make friends with the new colors if you have not already!

Happy stamping!

Jury Duty

Hi stampers!  Writing from the basement in the courthouse at jury duty :-)  I have alllll this downtime while I wait yet I have almost no cards to share, darn it!

I did find this card on my phone and I don't think I've shared it.  While it's a Mother's Day card, you could switch the greeting out to just about any occasion!  My sentiment is from the new Itty Bitty Greetings.


I fussy cut the flowers.  The frame is embossed with a thinlit which you can do now with our new embossing mats.  It's not my best attempt but I needed a card STAT ;-)  SU is going to be coming out with a video for it soon so watch for that.  Every big shot is slightly different in pressure so you may have to experiment with what works best for your machine.  Of course, since it's been a while, I can't remember exactly what I did.  Sorry!  I did have a little crease or two, so I probably need to experiment just a little more. But it gives you the general idea.  I've done this before with our craft mat but now we have an actual set of Big Shot mats for it!

I also used my all time favorite, Coastal Cabana, and paired with with a new favorite in Highland Heather!  My flowers are Gorgeous Grape.  Oh and I used basic black but you could use staz on since it's retired ;-)

Wish me luck today that maybe I won't get picked and poor Ian can have his momma back for the week.  He's not too happy about me being gone all day!  And I'd like to stamp again, lol!

Happy stamping!

Farewell Foil Frenzy

Hi stampers!  Happy Tuesday!  Lots and lots going on here this week and for the foreseeable future!  I did manage to make a few cards over the weekend.  I combined the outgoing Foil Frenzy DSP with the new Varied Vases set.  I'll miss this DSP, it's really pretty!  I'll really miss these doilies, too!

I also featured my new favorite color, Gorgeous Grape!


Trying my best to use up some of my stash but still feel like I'm not making a dent.  Who else understands? :-)

Happy stamping!
