Simply Marbleous Meadow Dies

 It's been a while since I used the Meadow dies and I thought 

that they would work great with the SAB Simply Marbleous

DSP (page 10).  I layered the plants on to a piece of

Crushed Curry that I had blended with the Butterflies

and Flowers Layering Decorative Mask (page 65 of the

Jan-June 2022 Mini).  I then ran the layer through a

recently retired Embossing Folder to add a little more texture.

Driving By with Awesome Otters

 I think that the SAB Driving By set is hilarious.  It's great for

guys and the two VWs harken back to years past.  For this 

card, I used a retired Embossing folder to create a flowery

background, which I colored with a Blending Brushes.

Then I colored the van with Blends, fussy cut it, added a flower and 

attached it to the card.  I added sentiments from the Driving By

set and Awesome Otters (SAB).  It's a happy little card.

Paradise Palms with Palms Dies

 I love the Paradise Palms Bundle on page 25 of the 

Stampin' Up! Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog.  It consists of

the Paradise Palms Stamp set with coordinating Palms Dies.

In this example, I used torn paper to create divisions for

blending different background colors.  I just kept moving the

paper, blending and changing the angle or color.  I wasn't worried

about creating a specific background feature, just textures.

The sentiments with this bundle are perfect for those friends

and family members who love the beach!
