Timeless Tropical Oasis Friendship Card

Last month, I participate in a card challenge. We had to send supplies to make a card to one person and received different supplies for a second person. The supplies were to include a card base, one piece of designer paper, one piece of cardstock, and a piece of ribbon OR embellishment. To add to that, we could use one more piece of cardstock or paper and either a ribbon or embellishment. It's a fun challenge and especially in this time of social distancing, you should try it with your stamping bestie! 

I designed my challenge card with the Timeless Tropical stamp set and it ended up being my inspiration as I designed the whole Stamp of the Month Club card kit for March! The card on the left with the designer paper was my challenge card. I decided to switch out the designer paper for embossed cardstock for my card kit. Which way do you like it best?

Here's a close-up of the card for my Timeless Tropical Card Kit. Kits are going in the mail today, but it's not too late if you interesting in participating. Learn More about Stamp of the Month Club.

Stampin' Creative Blog Hop: Ombre Flowering Foils Card

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently you are visiting Julie Davison from Champaign, Illinois in the United States. This month we are sharing Monochromatic cards -- cards that showcase different shades of one color.

Inspired by St. Patrick's Day earlier this month, I chose green for my card and used both the Sponge Brayer and Stamping Sponges to create an ombre effect on the Flowering Foils Designer Paper. There are so many ways to customize this beautiful designer paper. (See More Cards) And you can get it FREE during Sale-a-Bration with qualifying order! Don't wait! This exclusive paper will NOT be available after Sale-a-Bration ends on March 31!

I started with a 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" piece of Flowering Foils Designer Paper. First, I brayered Mint Macaron ink across the center. Then, I used a quarter of a Stamping Sponge to add Shaded Spruce to the bottom of the paper. Tip: Create a "handle" with coordinating cardstock and the Circle Tab Punch.

Come back tomorrow!  I'll be sharing the link to the video tutorial  for this and two more Sale-a-bration cards!  

That's all from me today! Thank you for visiting!  For now, it's time to carry on with the blog hop and see what other amazing projects my Stampin' friends from around the world have created for you!

Last week, during my Thursday Night Facebook Live, I made a bunch of cards using the designer paper that comes in the exclusive DSP Sampler and a simple card layout that maximizes the paper. Here are the cards that I made. Be sure to watch the replay in the video below if you'd like to see me in action! 

For some cards, I couldn't decide which colors to use. Leave me a comment and let me know which version of each you like best!

Here is the card layout. It is perfect for ANY designer paper!

The measurements I used are:

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Card Base
• 3" x 3" Designer Paper (top)
• 1-1/2" x 3" Designer Paper (bottom)
• 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" Cardstock Layer
• 3/4" x 3-3/4" Cardstock Strip (middle)

Watch the replay of my Facebook Live to see my creative process in making these cards plus 2 more!

So Sentimental Catalog CASE

They used to call the Annual Catalog the "Idea Book & Catalog" because it's just as much a book with project ideas than it is a catalog. I find so much inspiration is the pages of the new Mini Catalog! Last week, I challenged my team to use these new projects to create their own. Here is my version of the So Sentimental card featuring in the Bundle Index on page 4 of the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.

Here's the original card:

I created two different color combinations using the Lily Impression designer paper for my version.

 I think my label was a little bigger than the inspiration, so I decided to add some flowers to fill the space. Which way do you like it better: with or without the flowers? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

The new Small Blossom Punch is my new favorite! It's one of many gifts you can choose for free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-Bration! Learn More.
