Hi Stampers. Are you ready to watercolor? Last Friday, I shared with you a wobble card made using the Little Ladybug bonus host set for Sale-A-Bration 2020. Friday’s card was colored using the Stampin’ Blends. Today’s card is watercolored.
For this card, I used a Blueberry Bushel card base and Fluid 100 watercolor paper for the background, flower and ladybug. An Aqua Painter and a drop of ink from the Pool Party reinker were used to great the large whitewash technique in the background.
The flower and ladybug are stamped in Stazon Black ink and then colored using the Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils. After coloring the, I went over them with the Aqua Painter and just a little bit of water – just enough to blend the color and get rid of the pencil lines. The highlights on the petals were made using the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker. They were then cut out using the coordinating LadyBug Dies.
The flower was attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the ladybug was attached using the wobble. Here is a side view of what the wobble looks like attached.
For the interior of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray and the ladybug in Memento Black. The ladybug was then colored using the stampin’ blends. Remember if you love this set and don’t have it yet – you only have a few days left to qualify!

Hi Stampers. We are down to the last week of Sale-A-Bration, therefore it’s your last chance to earn this Little Ladybudy stamp set with a qualifying party / order. It’s adorable and fun to color using our Stampin’ Blends.
I’ve done this card in two colors. While they both have a Basic Gray card base and the same stamping with the Little Ladybug stamp set, I used different cardstock and Stampin’ Blends.
The first one has Real Red layer and I colored the flower with Rococo Rose Blends. A Whisper White scrap of CS, cut using the 1-3/8″ scallop circle punch, perfectly frames the he thinking of you sentiment. Followed by a matte made with the 1-3/4″ circle punch.
This second card uses Calypso Coral CS and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends to give a slightly different look.
For the background, I used a 1/6 of a Stamping Sponge to sponge Balmy Blue ink onto the Whisper White CS.
Here you can get a closer look at the coloring with the Stampin’ Blends. Didn’t that ladybug come out cute? The belly is colored with Smokey Slate blends around the edges and the Color Lifter was used to blend it into the middle. You can’t forget to add one of those to your collection, they can make a big difference in your coloring.
Inside the card, I stamped the Happy Birthday and added another little ladybug from the set in the lower corner. Isn’t it adorable?

Hi Stampers. Today we are sharing with you, alternative ideas for the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit – Lovely Day. It’s a beautiful kit and it coordinates with the “Happy Birthday To You” Sale-A-Bration item – FREE with a $50 order!
For my projects, I created a card and a Hershey Kisses tent using supplies from the Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin Kit and a few supplies from my stash..
Birthday Card:
The card is made using a thick Whisper White card base. I then cut one of the card bases down to 4″ x 5-1/2″ to make a layer for the card and then adding a layer of Petal Pink. The Petal Pink scalloped square was die cut using the So Sentimental Dies.
The flowers in this kit a beautiful! I used one of them on this card and added the sentiment by using more parts from the kit.
Inside the card I have a mix of stamps from the kit and the Happy Birthday to You stamp set – stamped in Rococo Rose ink.
Hershey Kisses Tent:
I cut one of the card bases to 4″ x 5-1/2″ and scored it at 1-1/2″, 2-1/2″ and 4″ for the Hershey Kisses tent. The Hershey Kisses are placed on the 1″ section and adhered with glue dots.
The middle here is another section I cut from a card base – it already had the pennants on it. The birthday cake slice was stamped onto Whisper White card stock using Pool Party ink and fussy cut.
I colored the cake using Stampin’ Blends. I was happy with how it all came together so quickly.

Hi Stampers. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of snow and ready for some time in the tropics! Today’s card features a new stamp set called Timeless Tropical. Someone had asked me to show them how to do the masking technique, so I thought this set would make the perfect example. You can see how I made these cards by watching the video below.
Card #1:
This was the card I made first. I stamped the flower first, masked it and then stamped the leaves.
Stampin’ Tip: For masking, stamp the image you want in the foreground first, then stamp it again on a post it note. Cut out the image on the post it note with paper snips (or the coordinating die). Place the post -it note image over the stamped image on your card layer. Then stamp the images you want to appear to be coming from behind. After you have done this you can remove the post it note and finish the card as normal.
I colored in the flower with Stampin’ Blends. To try to give it more shading, I used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend combos on the flower. The leaves are colored using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
Card #2:
The card base is Mango Melody followed by a layer of Garden Green CS and then my Whisper White layer. I don’t know if you can tell, but the sentiment has a little variation in color. I needed to re-ink my pad, so I added the ink but before rubbing it with a spoon to spread it around, I inked my stamp. It came out pretty.
This flower was colored with Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends combo and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend for center stem. After I colored with the Stampin’ Blends, I inked a sponge dauber with Calypso Coral ink and dabbed it in the center of the flower.
The inside of the card has another layer of Whisper White CS that I stamped on using more stamps from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. The video below shows how I made these cards.
Stampin’ Tip: To get two colors of ink on one stamp, ink the stamp with the brush end of the Stampin’ Write markers. Then “huff” (breathe heavy) on the inked stamp. The mositure from your breathe will sort of re-wet the ink. Then stamp onto the cardstock.

Hi Stampers. If you frequent my blog often you know that I love fancy folds and cards with a little more detail. Once in a while I need to create a super simple card. This is a card we made in my last birthday card making class (here in Twin Falls, Idaho).
This card starts with a Bermuda Bay card base followed by a layer of Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper – this DSP is GORGEOUS and FREE! You can earn this paper for free by placing a $50 order as a level one sale-a-bration item. But, hurry – it’s only while supplies last!
I added a 1-3/4″ strip of Rich Razzleberry CS across the bottom and placed my focal point over the top of that. My focal point is a sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set, stamped on Whisper White CS using Coastal Cabana ink. This sentiment was then punched out using my 2″ circle punch and backed with a 2-1/4″ circle punched out of Coastal Cabana CS. Three Glitter Enamel Dots, randomly placed, finishes off the look.
For the inside the card, I stamped the Happy Birthday (from the Perennial Birthday stamp set) in Bermuda Bay ink onto a layer of Whisper White CS. Before adhering it to the inside, I stamped the lily from the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set in two corners using Coastal Cabana ink. This flower is pretty large and I didn’t want it to take over the inside, so it was hanging off the edge when I stamped it.
The Lasting Lily stamp set is also a level one SAB item and a set of coordinating dies is a level two SAB item – FREE with a $100 order. There are some awesome freebies available while supplies last.

Hi Stampers. Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Birthday Bash”. If you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Katja Ettig’s blog. Be sure to read through my blog, comment below and continue to Kim Quade’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog.
Here are the projects I created for this month’s hop using the Peaceful Poppies Suite from Stampin’ Up!
I made a birthday card with coordinating envelope and decorated a tiny treat box full of Hershey Kisses.
To begin, I adhered a layer of Peaceful Poppies DSP to my Real Red card base. I then die cut a Real Red and a Whisper White layer using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The only stamping I did on the front of the card was the speckles behind my poppies. That stamp is from the coordinating Painted Poppies stamp set.
My focal point was die cut using the Poppy Moments Dies. The poppies were die cut from Real Red, Poppy Parade and Basic Black CS. The leaves are die cut from Old Olive and Mossy Meadow CS. The are adhered together with liquid glue and then adhered to card with a mix of liquid glue and stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card I used a layer of Whisper White CS. I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” in Poppy Parade ink and adhered a 3/4″ strip of DSP to the bottom of the layer – to make it match the rest of my project.
As a small gift to go with my card, I used on of our Tiny Treat Boxes and filled it with Hershey Kisses. I wrapped a 1-3/4″ strip of DSP all the way around the box and adhered with snail adhesive. Some Whisper White ribbon wrapped around it like a gift finishes off my look. I hope you like it and give it a try yourself.
Video Tutorial:
Please watch my YouTube video of my Facebook Live on how to make this card.
