Pick of the Crop May Paper Pumpkin Kit

 

Although you wouldn't know it from our current wet weather trend but summer is on its way.  We live in the "berry belt" of Canada so summer berries and fruit are top on our list.  This year in particular because of the shortage of bees and the wet soggy weather we've had our berry crops are taking longer than usual.  We'll just have to have patience and when they arrive  support our local farmers during this hardship time.  Can't wait!  

I also can't wait to get my hands on the May 11 to June 11th "Pick of the Crop" Paper Pumpkin kit.  It looks like it's going to be yummy! 

Check it out on my website store by clicking here. 

The Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin kit is chock full of fun and includes many of my favourite colours and berry themes. This all-inclusive kit includes enough supplies to:

• create 9 cards with card bases measuring 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  - you get 3 each of 3 designs
• 9 printed card bases featuring coordinating colors: Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Soft Succulent 
• 9 coordinating envelopes (4-1/2" x 5-3/4" (11.4 x 14.6 cm))
• Photopolymer Stamp set to express love, gratitude and style.  The sentiments say “Love you a whole bunch”, “You’re the pick of the crop”, “You are the sweetest,” and so many more
• a selection of die-cut paper pieces including some specialty vellum pieces 
• a Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Spot!
• Adhesive
• Bonus: This kit includes a canvas mini shopping bag that measures 5 3/8" x 6", which can be used to hold a couple cards for a unique craft element. 

Note: Additional bags will be available to purchase separately on my shopping web site.

Just look at this cute little "bonus" canvas bag that's
included in this month's kit!  

This kit can only be ordered up until June 10th, so if you're interested in getting it don't hesitate.  Order it now.  

Happy Stamping!

Flowing Flowers with new Stampin' Up InColors

 

On May 3rd, Stampin' Up is going to paint the town with these beautiful new In Colors which will be available from 2022 to 2024.  I simply can't wait to share them with you.  

Until then I'll post some samples showing off the beauty of these new In Colors.  Stampin' Up! Demonstrators get the luxury of ordering early which means we get to play with new products like the In Colors.  If you'd  like to get your hands on these beautiful new inks and other pre-order products it's simply one of the best times to get a Starter Kits for only $135.00.  To find out more contact me  or click here to join now.  

Here's my first sneak peak Flowing Flowers a 9 piece cling stamp set shown on page 36 of the January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue.  This stamp set will be retiring on May 2nd, so if you love it you'll need to act fast.  I combined it with a retired set called Beautiful Friendship to create the flowery background. 

 

Flowing Flowers #157880 isn't just another flower stamp set, it's stunning!  I absolutely love the sentiments in this stamp set especially the "Just a Note".  Honestly when I bought this set it was because of the sentiments, but since I began creating with this set I've fallen with everything in it.  The flowers are simply dreamy and look beautiful alone or in clusters. Every single one of the sentiments is relatable.   This stamp set will be retiring on May 2nd, so if you love it too, don't wait to order it on my online store as it will be gone forever.  

Okay, what do you think?  Isn't this a gorgeous combination of colors.  This card combines four of the new colors (Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky) with last year's In Colors (Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia).  Oh my I think they are stunning!  

HAPPY STAMPING!

Easter Friends - Ducks, Chicks and the Sweetest Little Rabbit

Sending Happy Easter wishes for a memorable Easter weekend your way. Whether you spend the holiday with your family and loved ones, with special friends, your congregation, or on much needed vacation my wish is for you to enjoy the time and to count your blessings.

The cards I'm going to share with you today were made with the Easter Friends stamp set featured on page 27 of Stampin' Ups! January to  June Mini Catalogue. There are 8 red rubber cling stamps in this set.  

Easter Friends #157737

I also used another stamp from the Mini Catalogue for a background in some of my cards.  It's called Oceanfront #157862.  This is a Distinktive 9 piece photopolymer stamp set, that's well worth having in your stamp collection.  The borderless images in this set are designed to blend seamlessly when slightly stamped over one another.  The panorama's you can build with this stamp set are not limited to seaside or beachfront views, they are only limited by imagination.

Oceanfront #157862 

So here is a sampling of my cards.  All of the images were stamped on Whisper White card stock with Momento Ink.  The duck, chick and rabbit images were coloured with Water Colour pencils and with the 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" frame from the Scalloped Contours #155560 die set on page 158 of the Annual Catalogue.  I used a variety of retired designer series papers for the mat layers.

Here are six of the different cards I made 

Duck:  Thank You For Your Order 

I used the Ocean Front images for the sky and grassy meadow in this card.  The sky was stamped in Pool Party and the grass was stamped with Pear Pizzazz.  The two mats are cut from Ombre DSP and measure

4 x 5 1/4" (Pool Party) and 4 1/8 by 5 3/8".  The duckling is coloured using Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry watercolour pencils and the beak and feet for all images are coloured with a Pumpkin Pie watercoloured pencil. 

I stamped three chick images and fussy cut them.  The mats for this one were cut from Jars for All Seasons DSP (retired).  

This duck is simply adorable on his own, and certainly brought a smile to my face.  For this card I stamped direct to the Whisper White card stock.  

This bunny makes you go "ahh" the moment you stamp it, because the image stamps so well.  The card base on this one is Smokey Slate followed by two layers of Peony (retired) DSP.  Because both the papers and the image are super feminine this turned out to be a really good combination and so I used various papers from this DSP pack to complete my cards.   

To use up my scraps, I changed up the bottom matt and instead cut two strips of the Peony DSP matted on a layer of 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White cardstock.  The strips measure 4 1/8 x 1 7/8" wide.  I've also added some flowers punched from the DSP.  The gray in the bunny's coat was achieved by using a very light stroke technique with a basic gray watercolour pencil.  The cheeks are coloured with a Calypso Coral watercolour pencil. 

I coloured this bunny a little darker and used a blending medium and the watercolour pencil to move the colour around.  You have to be super careful when you do this technique as Whisper White card stock will peal if it absorbs too much blending medium.  I didn't have any pink pearls or other gems so I coloured regular pearls with a Rocco Rose blend and they turned out a nice soft pink to match the Petal Pink layer on this card.  

Well that is my selection of Spring cards.  I hope you enjoyed them and will leave me a comment or ask my a question about how these cards were made.  I'd be happy to help and always appreciate comments.    I can really see using these animal images for baby cards in the near future.  Unfortunately they retire the end of May when the new Annual Catalogue becomes available so if you would like to own the Easter Friends stamp set you should order it soon before it's gone forever.  

Happy Stamping!

Some Beachy Cards

Who doesn't like the beach?  So many of my friends and family have been saying lately that they can't wait for a trip or for the summer so they can go to the beach, so I decided to use a beach theme for some of my latest birthday card creations.

Stampin' Ups! January to June Mini Catalogue includes several stamp sets that make it super easy to create beach scenes.   They are Oceanfront Photopolyer Stamp Set, Paradise Palms Bundle, and the On the Horizon Bundle  Here's a selection of cards that I made one afternoon last week.  

Happy Stamping!
