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!

SAB Calming Camellia


 This is the SAB Hostess set, Calming Camellia (page 17).
The DSP pack, Daffodil Afternoon, is also a SAB product
found on page 4.   It is a very quick combo, given that the
Calming Camellia set is gorgeous, without even having to
color it!

Sweet Strawberry with Witty-Cisms


  I discovered that the Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry set works great 
with the retired Witty-Cisms set.  I used the Hippo and
Friends dies to layer the sentiment, which was then layered
on to a piece of Pattern Party Hostess DSP.  Everything was
colored with Stampin' Blends.

Field Flower on Wood Textures DSP



The retired Field Flowers set has always been one of my
favorites.  Years ago, I submitted the card linked Here to 
Stampin' Up! and won a free stamp set for my effort.

For this card, I inked the flower stamp with Calypso Coral,
Poppy Parade and Mossy Meadow.  I blended the edges and
added a floss bow.  This image was layered on to the retired
Wood Textures DSP and adorned with Enamel Hearts.
