Hey, Chick, One More Time

Periodically, I HAVE TO post a Hey, Chick (p 17) card.

These chickens are the greatest, and not just because 

they are FREE during the SAB period. 

The new Watercolor Pencils (Occasions p 24) make

this set even more appealing, because you can blend

and play with color.  It just never gets old!

Stamp Off Swan Lake Animal Challenge

Back for another Stamp Off challenge, eh!  

Good to have you.  Susan, Buffy and I are in

an animalistic kind of mood today.

  

 Our challenge is to integrate an animal into today's project.

  Great fun, since SU offers a ton of animal

and insect products.  The challenge is, which to

pick for this project.

 For some reason, I had the idea of embossing the Swan Lake

image on black card stock.  I love the idea of black and gold.

Next, I grabbed the wonderful Urban Underground Specialty

Designer Series paper on page 47 of the Occasions catalog.

I felt like this sheet kind of mimicked water ripples, so

it went well with the swan.  I didn't need a wedding card,

so used the "kind and caring heart" sentiment. 

The FREE SAB Metallic Ribbon on page 11 is

delicious and works well with the card colors.

So now that you've seen my animal project,

please click on over to check out what Buffy

and Susan have to show you.

Beautiful You on Ovals

It is an understatement to say that I pick up the Beautiful You

set (Occasions page 24) often.  Hopefully I'm not turning people

off, given how often I use it!  In this example, I used the

Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and Layering Ovals

Framelits to layer the focal image.  Per previous samples

the dress and umbrella were stamped with images from

the Awesomely Artistic set.

 

I embossed the Island Indigo layer with the Boho Chic

Textured Embossing Folder.

SAB Glimmer Paper Stack!

SU has released 3 additional SAB items.

Check out this Glimmer Paper!!

So in Love Just For You

The So in Love set on page 52 of the Occasions Catalog

is a beautiful, sophisticated set.  The font is a beautiful script,

with sentiments that can be used for many situations.

In this example, I stamped a background on 

Pink Pirouette cardstock and added Blushing Bride

Glimmer Paper.  The sentiment was cut out with the

Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Stamp Off Beautiful You Color Challenge

Hello and happy Friday!  Susan, Buffy and I are

locked and loaded for another Stamp Off Challenge!

 This week, we are doing a color challenge, offered by

Susan.  She picks such wonderful color combinations!!
You saw a "preview" card for this challenge yesterday,
when I used the same colors with the Cool Treats set.

I know that I use the Beautiful You set, on page 24 of the Occasions Mini, a lot.  I can't help it!  I love this set.  I wanted to watercolor

these beautiful color suggestions.   I used a layer of

the 2016-18 In Color Designer Series Paper,

Gold Sequin Trim (p 178) and 5/8 inch Burlap Ribbon

to embellish this card.

For the focal image, I stamped the girl in Island Indigo,

then water colored the dress with Pool Party.  
Next, I then masked all but the

dress and stamped it with Awesomely Artistic on page 144

creating the dress pattern.   Finally, I outlined the image

with Smoky Slate.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Now please check out

the challenge samples offered by Buffy and Susan!
