<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lRzoF95RHfY/VrAVuDLsCTI/AAAAAAAAGQg/7_3XFGM4_rg/s1600/VintageLoveYouValentineA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lRzoF95RHfY/VrAVuDLsCTI/AAAAAAAAGQg/7_3XFGM4_rg/s400/VintageLoveYouValentineA.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Today's sharing is all about hearts and Valentine's Day. My first share is a white-on-white card using the Lovely Lace embossing folder and heart framelits along with some scallop punched embossed images.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BrVhGLNo8as/VrAVuaogzAI/AAAAAAAAGQk/RQrOHKSTMdk/s1600/VintageLoveYouValentineB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BrVhGLNo8as/VrAVuaogzAI/AAAAAAAAGQk/RQrOHKSTMdk/s400/VintageLoveYouValentineB.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the lacy look the Curvy Corner Trio punch creates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLzcU5kng_s/VrAVeNHYo2I/AAAAAAAAGQU/Fnqqymvj7VM/s1600/BloominHeartsValentineA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SLzcU5kng_s/VrAVeNHYo2I/AAAAAAAAGQU/Fnqqymvj7VM/s400/BloominHeartsValentineA.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
On the second card, I used one of the Labels Collection framelits to emboss the card front (it's hard to see in the picture) which the Bloomin' Heart sets on. The Bloomin' Heart was created with Blushing Bride cardstock with Crumb Cake ink sponged around the edges and inside to make it vintage looking. Little Rose Red flowers decorate the heart. The banner from the coordinating stamp set, Bloomin' Love, fits perfectly on the heart.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--8s8n9SZiL0/VrAVeDFpXGI/AAAAAAAAGQQ/qCQAWjCyr2M/s1600/BloominHeartsValentineB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="378" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--8s8n9SZiL0/VrAVeDFpXGI/AAAAAAAAGQQ/qCQAWjCyr2M/s400/BloominHeartsValentineB.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, I love the lacy look the Curvy Corner Trio punch creates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">I hope that you're having a wonderful day!</span></div>

I'm sharing a baby card using the cute Zoo Baby stamp set. I added watercolor splatters using the splatters from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OHdhDTg2j-8/Vb7WnrYo2kI/AAAAAAAAGOI/x0ULtpMsnuI/s1600/Elephant_BabyB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OHdhDTg2j-8/Vb7WnrYo2kI/AAAAAAAAGOI/x0ULtpMsnuI/s400/Elephant_BabyB.jpg" width="398" /></a></div>
I inked the elephant stamp up really good with Pacific Point ink. I used a stamping tip that someone passed onto me. They recommended stamping over a mouse pad or some other foamy pad when using the photopolymer stamps to get better ink coverage. It definitely helps to get that good solid ink image.<br />

Today I'm sharing a boy's Lego-themed birthday card. What a fun card to make with all the bright colors and circles, and who doesn't love Lego's?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I sponged the edges of all the circles with the same color as the cardstock to help them stand out.<br />

The background is lightly sponged with Crisp Cantaloupe and Daffodil Delight. A quick and cute card. Love how solid the digital images turn out!<br />

I needed some quick and cute cards and voila, these bases came to rescue! I love the watercolor look and how great that they were already painted for me. I used the Garden Party stamp set and masking.<br />

Today I'm sharing one of the cards from my March <b>Hello You Vellum </b>card class, and hopefully this will be the first of a bunch more posts. I have quite a few cards that I've made, taken pictures of, but haven't had time to share on my blog. I'm looking forward to getting some of them up and posted to share with you.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3T7SejUp7OU/VTguxrd5gBI/AAAAAAAAGJ4/AV7rrbQiQYE/s1600/HelloYouBirthdayB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3T7SejUp7OU/VTguxrd5gBI/AAAAAAAAGJ4/AV7rrbQiQYE/s1600/HelloYouBirthdayB.jpg" height="400" width="398" /></a></div>
This card was inspired by several cards that I've seen using the <b>Hello You</b> framelit with the masking and sponging, but I decided to cut the "Happy" framelit out of black CS so that it would stand out. These little word framelits make such cute cards.<br />

I scheduled this class back in the Fall and had to name the class before I'd made the cards, or even imagined the cards. But I did get creative and I have 3 watercolor cards to share with you. We'll be using different techniques to achieve the watercolor look using washi tape, stencils and the ink-swipe technique. I hope that you can join me! Registration information is below. <i>(I may offer the class in May, but not sure yet.) </i></span><br />

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for a sweet stamping friend. She has been stamping with me since my very early years and has generously shared her supplies with me and has given me so many great tips..<i><b>.Happy Belated Birthday, Diane!</b> (Your card is in the mail!)</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I totally CASE'd this card from a beauiful creation by <b><a href="http://lydiaevansdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/DSC04097.jpg">Lydia Evans</a></b>. I changed out the stamp set using So Very Grateful, stamping in black and watercoloring the flowers and leaves with Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, Hello Honey and Strawberry Slush. The sentiment is from Sincere Salutations.<br />

We've been busy moving for the last several months, so life has been very full. As a result I haven't had much time to spend on updating my blog. I have been able to squeeze in a little card making when I can, but no time to post them here on my blog. I have plans to share them in the future, so stay tuned :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing a very simple card using <b>masking </b>and <b>sponging</b>. It features the stamp sets <b>Serene Silhouettes</b> and the sentiment is from <b>Sweet Essentials</b>. This was one of the cards we made at our stamp club class in June. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"> I've posted the free PDF </span><a href="http://www.twohappystampers.com/Tutorials/June_Club_Cards-2014.pdf" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Class Tutorial HERE</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">, if you'd like the supply list and instructions. The tutorial also includes two other cards.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">I made several versions of the card using different color combinations. My favorite was the Pistachio Pudding/Marina Mist/Wisteria Wonder combination. The other two color combinations are Pink Pirouette/Strawberry Slush and Hello Honey/Cajun Craze/Baked Brown Sugar. All were stamped in Early Espresso. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">I also added some scoring above and below the sponged area to add some texture.</span><br />

Here's a very simple card, but I love the doodle look and the fact that I can watercolor the image. The butterflies are from the <b>Flower Fest</b> stamp set, which I've been using quite a bit lately. I love the doodly openness of the images.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I stamped images with black Stazon and then colored the outer edges of the butterflies with Daffodil Delight. I added a pop of contrast with a couple of Poppy Parade scallop flowers from the Itty Bitty punch pack.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here’s another one of my favorite stamp sets, <b>So Very Grateful</b>, which
yes, has also been retired. It’s such a cute set, and another great one for
watercoloring. I did notice in the hostess section of the new 2014-15 SU
catalog that there is a similar set called<b> I Like You</b>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had fun creating my own curved digital sentiment using a cute Google font called "Butterfly Kids" that looks like
handwriting. I stamped my floral image using Stazon black and watercolored the
flowers and leaves onto Whisper White CS and fussy-cut them, so that they could
be dimensionalled onto the card front. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used my blender pen and reinkers for coloring, using Crisp Cantaloupe
and Pool Party for the flowers, Pistachio Pudding for the leaves and Summer
Starfruit for floral centers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my <b>Father's Day</b> cards from last month...better late than never.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Eu1fMkz1myI/U7R57Bq0dmI/AAAAAAAAFAo/EIaos5_uE_Y/s1600/InkedFathersDayF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Eu1fMkz1myI/U7R57Bq0dmI/AAAAAAAAFAo/EIaos5_uE_Y/s1600/InkedFathersDayF.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
I used the <b>Ink Swipe Technique</b> for these cards. (Visit my <a href="http://www.twohappystampers.blogspot.com/2014/07/ink-swipe-medallion.html">Ink Swipe Medallion post</a> for another example of the technique.) I used a couple of retired stamp sets, the <b>Happy Father's Day</b> sentiment is from the <b>All Holidays</b> stamp set, but I don't know the name of the background stamps...sorry! The only current stuff on these cards are the colors. They are the 2014-15 In-Colors: Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist. I printed the DSP paper from MDS, coloring a grid pattern Tangelo Twist.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are all about the same with a few minor changes. On the second card above I inked my craft sheet, spritzed the sheet with water and then stamped, whereas with the other cards, I inked my craft sheet, but spritzed the stamp instead of the craft sheet and then stamped into the ink.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VkLbkYRs2rI/U7R54_K4wOI/AAAAAAAAFAw/rr6FaXGwHjw/s1600/InkedFathersDayA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VkLbkYRs2rI/U7R54_K4wOI/AAAAAAAAFAw/rr6FaXGwHjw/s1600/InkedFathersDayA.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
Both are fun, but I preferred the cleaner look. These make great one-layer cards. I love the bold black sentiment against the bright inked colors. It makes a great contrast.<br />

I love this sentiment...<b><i>"Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful".</i></b> When the <b>Perfect Pennants </b>stamp set came out I wanted to make myself a card using this sentiment. What a good reminder, right? It's good to be reminded to be thankful for all the wonderful blessings in our lives! I take so much for granted sometimes.<br />
When I designed this card it was for a card class I had planned to teach last February, but life got busier with my family, and I felt the Lord saying it was time to step out of all the "extras" and concentrate on the wonderful family blessings He's given me in this season of my life. No regrets there!<br />

I did get to teach this class at our Stamp Club at Amy's last month, which was a whole lot of fun (the ladies make the fun). I had the tutorial pretty much put together, so the club class was a good reason to finish it up. I've posted the free PDF <a href="http://www.twohappystampers.com/Tutorials/June_Club_Cards-2014.pdf">Class Tutorial HERE</a>, if you'd like the supply list and instructions. The tutorial includes two other cards, which I'll be posting pictures of in the near future.<br />

I pulled out an old stampset, the Medallion, so that I could play around with another watercolor trend in card making, the Ink-Swipe technique. Today's technique was given to me by my stamping, friend, Nan (Thanks, Nan!) at our last month's Stamp Club class. She shared how to ink up your craft sheet, give it a spritz of water and then use it as a stamp pad to ink up your image. I had better luck laying down my ink on the craft sheet like she suggested, but spritzing my stamp with water instead of the craft sheet, then placing it into the ink and proceeding to stamp on watercolor paper. Just my preference, as both ways turned out great.<br />

One of the fun things about watercolor is you're always surprised. Ink and water never produce the same results twice. I love surprises!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I’m sharing a card using a watercolor wash over a section of the
card front panel, using <b>Crisp Cantaloupe</b> and <b>Daffodil Delight </b>reinkers. I
stamped the “bride” sentiment over the Crisp Cantaloupe and the “groom” over
the Daffodil Delight washes.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I lightly sponged the same colors onto three punched Five Petal
flowers. To get the little embossed punched floral centers, I embossed a piece
of heavy vellum with the Snowburst embossing folder. I punched the center of the stars with the
scallop from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, which fit perfectly.</span></div>
