A Card a Day in May--Day 16!

/

Its official, I am over the hump on this challenge! Yay! I hope you are enjoying things so far!

This is one of the three card projects included in my Class to Go Kit for May!

This card features the new Hues of Happiness Suite which is just so beautiful. I love everything about it and if I could be a DSP, it would be the Hues of Happiness DSP! What DSP would you be?

This card is on a Fresh Freesia base with a coordinating first layer that is die cut using one of the options in the Blossoming Happiness Die set. It looks really great raised up on some Dimensionals.

 

On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky and ran the chisel tip of my Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend over top of the word ‘Happiness’ to highlight it. I really love to do this simple trick to bring attention to a word.

The flowers are hand trimmed from the DSP and added to the panel to accentuate the sentiment. You can trim off the excess to fit your panel.

I added an accent strip in Starry Sky card stock using one of the other dies from the collection and popped this whole panel up on Dimensionals as well.

This card is actually one of the 3 designs included in my May Class to Go Kit. Kits are available to anyone in Canada and there are 3 options available—stamp only, bundle (and best value) and the card kit. All the pricing details are on my blog under the Stamp with Brenda tab and then Class to Go Kits. A video tutorial is included with any of the 3 options! I would to share these amazing cards with you!

A Card a Day in May--Day 3!!

Hello my friends! Instead of seeing a card project first you are going to have to look at my happy face as its NEW CATALOGUE DAY! I hope by the time you get to this post you have placed your first of many orders from this fabulous new Annual Catalogue!

I was telling my coworkers its like Christmas, its exciting and fun, and when my box arrives its literally THE BEST DAY EVER!! I am so lucky to love what I do and have so much doing it! This is also a great time to join the SU family and community of crafters. Its been 16 years for me and I still going strong!

My card share for today features some brand new products, which is so fun! And I have to say the Hues of Happiness is probably my favorite new suite in the catalogue. The color palette of the Designer Series Paper is my jam, like literally my personality in a paper. If that could be a thing!

This card is actually a part of my May Class to Go Kit which means if you love it and live in Canada, you can purchase my Class to Go Kit until May 15th! I will have all the details ready to share under my Class to Go Tab underneath the Stamp with Brenda tab. And if you are wondering what is under my Lifestyle tab it has fun stuff like recipes!

I love how crisp and light this card feels, don’t you? The base is Basic White with a nice layer of Night of Navy and another layer of Basic White that I ran through the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I added a small strip of the Hues of Happiness DSP and a underneath that I tucked a piece of Basic White that I ran through one of the amazing die strips in the Blossoming Happiness Dies.

The sentiment is stamped and die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies accentuated with a bit of the Starry Sky Bakers Twine.

 

The flowers from the Happiness Abounds stamp set are stamped in Momento Ink and then colored with a technique that I like to call ‘Lazy Watercoloring’.

I use my Water Painter with the ink colors in Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Blushing Bride and Pool Party to color the flowers and leaves. Its fast and furious and just how I like to make cards! hahaha

Add a few of the Glossy Dots Assortment and In Color Opal Rounds and this card is perfect!

I hope this card inspires you to take a peek in the new catalogue and start your wish list! If you are inspired or would like to purchase my May Class to Go Kit please send me a message or click on Shop Now to be directed to my online store!
