Corner Garden Blendabilities

Here is another card share using the new Stampin' Up! Blendabilities. I am still trying to get to the point where I am really happy with how they blend. I have seen some other cards done by other people and really love how theirs look over mine. I am not giving up though. I am sure it just takes quite a bit of practice.
Please, give me some tips if you want. I have watched a few videos and am doing what they show. It may be color choice more than anything.

Coastal Cabana Blended Bloom

I don't know about you, but I have been having a lot of fun playing with the new Stampin' Up! Blendabilities. If you enjoy coloring and it is relaxing to you, this is just the thing for you. My husband tells me he would not be able to stay in the lines. I find that kind of funny. The good thing is you can use the color lifter if you do go outside of the lines or just trim out your image.
There was something I wanted to try when I finished this blended bloom flower. If you don't already notice. Do you see that it is shiny? I used crystal effects on it when I was all done coloring it in the way I wanted it. It would make a beautiful pin, as well as, a card.

Supplies needed for this card.
Stamp Sets: Blended Bloom and Thoughts and Prayers
Ink: Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Memento Tuxedo Black
Blendabilities: Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight

Father's Day Card

Maybe, I need to try to get ahead of the game. I am sorry that I post things after it is already over. The main reason I do is because I do not want the person receiving the card to see it on here before they get it. It kind of takes the surprise out of giving it.
This card was made for my husband. He really likes anchors and the nautical theme. The stamp set, The Open Sea, is one of my favorite stamp sets. It just makes very beautiful cards. There are many stamp sets that I love because of their versatility. These are the type of sets to have and keep for a long time.

Stamp Sets: The Open Sea, Woodgrain, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Classic Ink: Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Cherry Cobbler
Tools: Stampin' sponge, Big Shot, Circle Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, 1 3/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches

I hope your Father's had a very Happy Father's Day! Thank you for visiting. You are always more than welcome to leave a comment.

Work of Art Graduation Card

It is Graduation time! I had a niece graduate this year. I thought it would be neat to try the Work of Art stamp set for this card. It was missing something, though. That is when I pulled out the Gorgeous Grunge set. Once, I added that set to it, I was happy. If you wonder why I chose these colors, well, I was trying to go with the school colors. The problem I ran into was they are black, white, and gold. I do not have any gold cardstock. I ended up just using what I had and didn't worry about it. In case you wonder about the tassel. I created it using the Whisper White Baker's Twine. I just kept in mind what they look like and created it from that.

These are the Stampin' Up! supplies I used to create this card.
Stamp sets: Gorgeous Grunge, Work of Art, and Memorable Momonets
Classic Ink: Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, and Memento Black
Cardstock: Whisper White and Basic Black
Tools: 1" square punch (cut to make a diamond), 1 1/4" circle punch, Elegant Butterfly
Accessories: Silver Glimmer Brad (retired), Whisper White Baker's Twine

I hope you like what you see and will visit more often. This is an easy card to make and turned out very elegant. My husband said it looked like an invitation! Sorry, once again, that the picture takes away from how nice it really did turn out. I keep saying I need to make a light box. I really do!

Mother's Day Flower Pot Card

Since Sunday was Mother's Day, I needed to make a card for my mom! She has always liked flowers. I have seen a lot of the flower pot cards created by many different people and thought I would give it a try. Once again, my inspiration was from Pinterest, which was a video. You can see it here.
After making this one, I do believe, I will make more. They are really fun and turn out beautifully!

Stampin' Up! supplies needed:
Cardstock: Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Whisper White
Ink: Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple
Writing: MDS2
Tools: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Big Shot, Little Leaves Sizzlits Die, Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder, and Stampin' Sponge
Accessories: 3/8" Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon

Do you know what I just realized? I was going to use the candy dots for the middle of the flowers. Guess what? I totally forgot to put them on. Well, it is way too late now. If you make one, try not to make the same mistake. It would have given it a little more bling, especially if it were a rhinestone or pearl. I am sorry I forgot to put them on.
Thanks for looking. You may leave a comment if you would like. Thanks!
