I love making tags, I don't know if it's their size, shape, or what it is, but I always have lots of ideas for making tags. This month's tags use the Floral Fusion sizzlits, which I've had forever, but haven't used very much...why? They're super cute and just the right size for tags!

I must remember these cute flowers for future projects!

 ...and yes, thanks much for stopping by :-)

Masked Gorgeous Grunge Thank You

...............................................

This is my first time using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. It's got a completely different feel to it than the flower stamp sets I love using, but I really liked creating with this set. It got me thinking outside my box a little bit. I coupled it with the Six-Sided Sampler...they just seem to go together.

I masked a rectangle and sponged Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding inside the masked rectangle. I'd seen this color combination while we were travelling a few weeks ago and wrote down the colors so that I wouldn't forget them, very pretty together, especially with the Midnight Muse.

I love all the backgrounds this stamp set has, especially the splatter marks. Should make for some fun looking cards in the future.

Six-Sided Masculine Quickie Tutorial

...............................................

Great news...Today I have a Quickie Tutorial to 

share with you for this card.

 I was looking back through some of Stampin' Up's previous year's Fall DSP's and came across Autumn Meadows from several years back. I love the color combination of this DSP with Taken with Teal, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla (don't quote me, but I think these are the colors). I used a similar color combo to create my husband's birthday card. 

I had seen a card out in cyberworld that had a woodgrain embossed Island Indigo panel which I loved, so used that idea for this card, dragging Soft Suede ink over the raised embossed surface to give it a distressed look and added a few sequins for a bit of pizzazz.

Hello, Baby Card

  - SUMMER PUNCH ART ONLINE CLASS

...............................................

Today's CAS card share is a baby card I made for a friend. I was inspired by a baby card Laura Haffke created, so I used her half-embossed folder idea to create this fun card using the new Tape-It, Sweet Essentials and Six-Sided Sampler stamp sets.
The Tape-It stamp set gives a Washi tape look to your cards, plus you can stamp the tape look in any color you want along with different tape designs. I did use my old faithful Stampamajig to make sure I got the stamps lined up straight.

 I used a bright pink Sharpie pen to color my rhinestones so that they would match the Strawberry Slush ink.

So glad that you stopped by! Have a wonderful day.

Supplies:

CS: Whisper White, Strawberry Slush

INK: Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black

SS: Sweet Essentials (126457), Tape-It (130715), Six-Sided Sampler (130956)

Last of the Six-Sided Fun

(there's too many fun promos to list them all here)

Well, here's the last of the Six-Sided Sampler cards for now. The set also includes some really cute girly patterns and sentiments, so will have to try those out in the near future. I went with stripes for this card and yes, of course sequins.

These cards were fun to make. Coming up with 3 cards while staying with the same stamp sets and color scheme made it fun.

See you next time!

A Diagonal Father's Day

(there's too many fun promos to list them all here)

I have been enjoying playing around with two of the stamp sets from this year's catalog...Six-Sided Sampler and Tape It. Their geometric shapes make great masculine cards. I stuck with these two stamp sets and the same color scheme for all of my masculine cards. Since that part was already figured out, I was able to spend my time playing around with designing...the fun part!

 I've never used the color Summer Starfruit before I made these cards (I didn't think that I liked it, but I guess I do in certain cases?), but I think it worked well in this color scheme.

Thanks for taking time to stop by and visit!

A Week of Masculine Cards

CLICK HERE TO VIEW STAMPIN' UP'S PROMOTIONS

(there's too many fun promos to list them all here)

This week I'll be sharing some masculine themed cards since Father's Day is right around the corner. Today's card uses the Six-Sided Sampler, Tape It, and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets. The color scheme is Soft Suede, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.

Yes, I'm stuck on the sequins thing right now, but I like the colored bling and the fact that since this card is very geometric, the little circled sequins fit right in with all the other shapes. I used the sentiment Happy Father's Day, but Happy Birthday could easily be swapped in to make this a masculine birthday card.

I hope that you're having a great day!
