THEME inspiration...

 

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  Since this is the 5th Monday of July, our challenge is a theme one - think Summer!  Since most of your summer watermelon's come from California's Central Valley, my card is using Sweet n Sassy's Summer Fruit set.  

 

I started out by stamping my image/saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap Hammermill white card stock before coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering and setting aside.  Taking a Cuttlebug checkerboard embossing folder, I dry embossed my card using my Big Shot before stippling Tim Holtz fired brick distress ink over the embossed images before adding my layered image panel.  I then pulled out my Picket Fence watermelon crush sequin mix and adhered four of the clay watermelon slices before adding a few seeds and sequins from the mix.

Psalm 31:25

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for a friend undergoing cancer treatment.  I won this set from Impression Obsession a while back and finally got inspired to use it.  The set is called Hope and the images are just beautiful.

 

I started out by stamping the girl with head scarf image in memento tuxedo black ink onto some scrap Copic X-press It card stock twice (once to be able to pop up) then colored both images using Copic markers before fussy cutting the second one out setting it aside to pop up later.  I then lightly stippled some Tim Holtz milled lavender distress ink around it using blending brushes from blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios before layering and adding some purple button brads from my stash.  I then took two more images from the Hope set and stamped the card base using Tim Holtz dusty concord distress ink alternating the images.  After popping up the layered image panel using some pop dots, I added the image I had fussy cut popping it up using some pop dots as well.  The final embellishments are some "orchid pink" sequins I found in my stash (no idea how long I've had them) and some Crafty Meraki midnight shimmer illusion gems onto the head scarf.  Inside I stamped the following saying from the Hope set: "You're much stronger than you think".  I'm really happy with how this turned out especially since I made it with another migraine.

Woodblock Wednesday July 2023

 

 

Hello and welcome.  It's time for another Woodblock Wednesday challenge so let's bust out those woodblock stamps we all have and are hoarding.  My card(s) this month is featuring a couple of long retired Stampin Up sets: Highly Decorated jumbo wheel, Wonderful Words and Courage and Honor stamp set.  I'm sending these to a friend who's doing a thank you for your service card drive for a local veterans home.

I started out by stamping the main images in memento tuxedo black ink on some corn husk card stock before coloring using Castle Arts pencils, layering and adding brads.  I then stamped the card using the Highly Decorated jumbo wheel and some garden green ink before overstamping the saying in memento black.  After adding my image panels using pop dots, I was done.  I'm happy with how these turned out.

Summer Collaberation Wedding or Ice Cream Style

 

 Hello and welcome to this years #summeraspired2023 hop. Organised by @kellys.craft and @kellysantidesigns . Where each week we have 2 choices for themes where we can create either or both themes or even combining both together. Week 4 themes are wedding/ice cream . Follow along using the hashtag or through the list of Participants. Graphic created by @kellysantidesigns.  For my cards, I went and did both themes especially since the retired Stampin Up set I was using had matching images for both of them.  

First up is a clean and simple wedding card using the tiered cake image from the Sweet Treats set paired with the retired Stampin Up Hearts and Swirls (retired) background.  I then colored the images using a the few Copic markers I have before layering.  That's it!  Under 10 minutes and it was done.

For my second card, I used the ice cream sundae image also from the Sweet Treats (retired) set.  After coloring the image with prismacolor and copic markers, I layered it before adding some small floral sequins to the corners.  Once I had added it to my card, I stamped the celebrate the saying from Stampin Up's Wonderful Words (also retired).  The final touch was adding a bit of Ranger's Glossy Accents to the chocolate sauce and allowed it to dry.
