I am so excited to once again be able to participate in the Crafty Collaborations Insta Hop. This weeks color is Misty Moonlight. My stamped image is from the Nature’s Prints stamp set and heat embossed in White embossing powder. The Designer Series Paper is the 6×6 Assorted Designer Series Paper pack. The card stock is Misty Moonlight and the smaller layer is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder which is retiring soon. The sentiment is from the Go To Greeting (one of my favorite greeting stamp sets) which will also be retiring. Complete cutting and instructions for this card can be found by reading more
It’s time once again for the Stampin Dreams Blog Hop. The theme for this month’s Blog Hop is Florals. I decided to use the Everyday Details stamp set. I wanted to add some larger flowers to the cups as well. After a lengthily search, I decided the little flower from the Nature’s Prints (soon to retire), looked similar to the flowers in the tea cup and that they would work. The little leaves are from the Irresistible Bloom stamp set. The tag is from the Tailored Made Tags (which will also be retiring). The sentiment is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set (retiring soon)
Cutting and Instructions to create this card:
Card base is Pool Party card stock cut 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
The front of the card is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
Cut a piece of the Pool Party 6×6 Assortment Designer Series pack 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″, adhere directly to the card base with liquid glue
On a piece of Basic White card stock, stamp 3 of the tea cups images from the Everyday Details, some of the small flower from the Nature’s Prints stamp set and some small leaves from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set all in Tuxedo Black Memento ink
Color the images with Stamp Blends. I used light and dark Pool Party, light and dark Daffodil Delight, light and dark Granny Apple Green
Fussy cut the images out and add them to the card with dimensionals. Stacking the cup above each other
Stamp a sentiment in Pool Party ink onto a piece of Basic White card stock
Die cut the sentiment using the Tailored Made Tags

Hello Crafters, It’s time for another Monochromatic Insta Hop. This hop is where we make cards using only one color. This is not a technique I use very often but great cards can be created with only one color and some card stock and designer series paper! For this weeks Monochromatic Color is Pumpkin Pie. I decided to use the Two Tone Floral stamp set and dies (soon to be retiring) and did the stamping off effect to give the flowers a two tone look. The leaves and dots are stamped directly on the Basic White card stock. The sentimental flag is the largest tag die from the Stylish Shaped dies and cut smaller then sponged with a sponge dauber. The sentiment is from Layering Leaves. Instructions here
It’s time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. I am so happy to be able to participate in this month’s Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Spotlighting. This technique is when you cut out a portion of your stamped card layer with either a die or a punch and color only the portion that has been removed from the card layer and then pop it back onto the card with dimensionals.
I used the Apple Harvest stamp set and punched it out with the Stylish Shape Circle dies. The image is colored with Stampin Blends. Here is my finished card.
Cutting and Instructions:
Card base is Old Olive card stock, cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ , scored and folded at 4 1/4″
Cut Pecan Pie card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″, adhere directly to the card base with liquid glue
Cut Basic White card stock 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Stamp the apple images from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink on the Basic White layer
Use the 3rd largest circle die and die cut out the portion of the image you want to spotlight
Color only the image that was die cut, with Stampin Blends. I used light and dark Real Red, light and dark Sweet Sorbet, light and dark Old Olive and light Daffodil Delight
Attach the Basic White card layer to the card base with liquid glue
Place the colored image back into the hole of the Basic White layer with dimensionals, making sure to line it up exactly
On a strip of Basic White cardstock cut at 1/2″ x 4″, stamp a sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set in Memento Black ink
Cut a strip of Real Red card stock 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ and layer under the Basic White layer with liquid glue. Add the sentiment to the card with dimensionals
Color some of the white Classic Matte Dots, red using the Real Red Stampin Blend and place them on the finished card
#4 Basic White layer stamped#6 circle removed and colored#8 color circle inserted
