By the Bay Card

Today's card features the By the Bay Stamp set, which you earn now for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration.  This coastal scenic image is just beautiful and is perfect when stamped alone or a little more majestic when you add color.  For this card I chose to use my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers but water coloring with our Watercolor Pencils or our Classic Ink and Aqua Painters would work beautifully too.  That gorgeous piece of designer series paper in the background is from the Garden Impressions Paper Pack in the Annual Catalog.  I pulled the layers from my cards from the colors I used in my scene and added our Burlap Trim for a little texture.  It's hard to see in the pictures, but my final touch was adding Wink of Stella to the water for a realistic shimmer bouncing off of it.

This set has beautiful sentiments in it and I can't wait to create with it again.

Happy Tails Sympathy Card

The Happy Tails Bundle, including the Happy Tails Stamp Set and the Dog Builder Punch is sure to be a favorite for all animal lovers.  As you know I have 3 dogs and love each and every one of them because they are my family.  Sadly, the time comes when one of our fur babies crosses the rainbow bridge.  Today's card is actually a sympathy card for those that have lost their beloved dog as we want the recipient to understand we understand their pain.

The card above was created using Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper and Whisper White.  As you'll see in the video below I used the same design and simply changed my color scheme.  This card is relatively clean and simple, and perfect to have on hand for someone in need of love in the mail.

Pick A Pennant Valentine's Card

I've had the Pick A Pennant Bundle including the Pick a Pennant Stamp Set and the Playful Pennants Framelits for a while and have just gotten around to playing with them.  Ummmm, yep you guessed it I'm squealing.  My mind is all over the place with all the possibilities of projects I can create with the Bundle (remember you save 10% when purchasing bundles) and today I'm showcasing it with the new All My Love Designer Series Paper available in the Occasions Catalog.  I debuted this card on my New Year's Day FB Live Craftin Till the Cows Come Home where I also used this Bundle for a Baby Girl Card, if you missed it you can CLICK HERE for the replay and view this adorable card below as well.

I've got to admit this card was so easy to create, even though it has so many elements and textures.  If you look closely you can see I used the Subtle Embossing Folder on the Lovely Lipstick Layer that is under the Whisper White Banners.  I couldn't resist adding the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle and Basic Rhinestone Jewels for the final touches.  Oh how I love the finished results of this card and I hope I've inspired you to create some of your own.
