A Card a Day in May--Day #17

/

You might be noticing that I have used the Simply Fabulous stamp set alot this month and you would be right as I have an In Color Retreat taking place at the end of this month! And everything I create needs to serve two purposes right now!

The card I am sharing today uses a fun starburst technique with the Tea Boutique DSP 6x6 Stack. I love how SU gave us another stack of DSP in our 5 NEW In Colors! Crafting and coordination are a dream right now!

To create a starburst simply cut strips of DSP to 1 1/2 x 6 and then cut these in half at a diagonal. You then get a variety of strips to use for your starburst pattern. The possibilities are endless really as you can adjust the initial width and length of your DSP as desired.

I stamped the sentiment on Basic White using Parakeet Party and then die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I then stamped the sentiment again in Tahitian Tide so I could trim out just the word ‘fabulous’ and add it over top with a couple Glue Dots.

I stamped the two larger flowers from the stamp set in Sweet Sorbet, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis. The greenery is in Parakeet Party.

I added a few Matte Decorative Dots and voila!

A Card a Day in May--Day 15!!

Well it is typically around this time when I ask myself WHY I thought this challenge was a good idea, hahaha! Seriously though, it coincides with my goal to SEND a card a day so I might as well make one too right?

I am currently making ALL THE THINGS with the Simply Fabulous stamp set as I am featuring it all my In Color Retreat at the end of the month.

My 15th card share for this month features the awesome stamp set Simply Fabulous and the color palette came from the pile of stuff on my desk. I have a bunch of things in the works and these ink pads were handy!

The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede and it looks SO GOOD with some Pale Papaya, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sorbet accent flowers! Sweet Sorbet and Flirty Flamingo are definitely “color buddies” as I discovered making this card! I cut the sentiment using the Stylish Shapes Die!

The base of this card is Flirty Flamingo and I ran the Basic White layer through the Stripes embossing folder. But only half way through—I love it! The sentiment panel is added over top with Dimensionals and then I hand trimmed the little flowers and leaves to add as accents.

A little bow out of Linen Thread and some Matte Decorative Dots along with Classic Matte Dots added the perfect embellishment touches. I is literally impossible to make a card without embellishemnts!

I would love to open up my mailbox and find this card inside! Wouldn’t you?

 

I also decided to stamp the inside of this card as I think it adds an adorable touch to the project! And if the goal is to use ALL THE STAMPS then I am inching closer by adding “You Are Simply Fabulous” to the inside!

A Card a Day in May--Day 13!!

Today I am sharing a little In Color Inspiration with you! Each year when the new In Colors release I try and make a card design that I can repeat in each of the 5 colors. This year I also wanted to highlight the new coordinating 6x6 DSP stack into the design as well.

I would say my current favorite color out of the new In Colors is Tahitian Tide. It feels like a holiday or a gorgeous sky on a sunny day! I do love how great these colors look as a collection as well and all of the awesome coordinating options we have!

In this design you can see how I added the In Color Bakers Twine and some of the Matte Decorative Dots.

I used the Simply Fabulous stamp set to design my card. This set is being given to participants in my In Color Retreat at the end of this month so I am developing some inspiration for them!

I love how mixing and matching the DSP can give each card a unique look, however the elements are similar on each of the 5 cards.

I used the same sentiment on each card and it is stamped and die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I then used a variety of greenery from the stamp set behind each sentiment. Stamping once full strength and then stamped off to create two tones using one ink pad. The same flower image is used on each card as well.

I hope you are enjoying playing with the 5 new In Colors! I think they are very bright and cheery! You can shop my store by clicking the button below! If you live in Canada and are looking for a demonstrator, please consider me so I can keep loving what I do!

A Card a Day in May--Day 11!

Hello friends! I really love my card share today as its so bright and cheery and features one of my favorite new stamp sets—Simply Fabulous! This set has great sentiments in a fun font and some super cute imagery to support!

I love the crisp background of this card that just lets our fabulous new In Color’s really shine on this card! The Basic White looks great on the Orchid Oasis card base.

The sentiment is stamped in Starry Sky and is die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies (#addtocart) and raised up on a few Dimensionals. It is then brought to life with the fun flowers and greenery from the Simply Fabulous stamp set!

 

There is no hardware so to speak for this stamp set so you will have to hand trim out all of these images! I stamped a collection of little flowers in the new In Colors and the greenery all in Parakeet Party.

The little flowers look super cute with the Matte Decorative Dots added to the centers and are layered with Dimensionals to add some texture!

If you haven’t add the Simply Fabulous stamp set to your collection, I say #addtocart as it has so much potential! I know I will crafting with this alot!

Have a wonderful day my friends!
