Swallowtail

Here is the second card I made with the Emboss Resist Technique.

• The card is Whisper White CS I stamped the Swallowtail in Versamark on the front of the card and Heat Embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder.
• I used a Sponge Dauber and Pistachio Ink to bring out the butterflies details.
• On a scrap of Whisper White CS I stamped the sentiment from Blooming With Kindness and then ran it through the Bid Shot cutting it out with Chalk Talk Framelit(I trimmed the top and bottom off with the paper trimmer so that it was framed evenly).
• I popped the sentiment up with Dimensionals then added a Old Olive Candy Dot above the sentiment.

Another fast and easy card!

Blooming With Kindness

I had about an hour to stamp yesterday, I decided to do Emboss Resist.

• On a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White CS I stamped the flower from Blooming with Kindness in Versamark and heat embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. 
• With Sponge Daubers I swirled Crisp Cantaloupe Ink over the flower and Pistachio Pudding over the stem.
• I used markers in the matching colors to ink up the sentiment from that same set and stamped it in the upper corner.
• I rounded the corners with the corner punch and then added Dimensionals to the back and popped it up on a Whisper White card base. 

It was fast and easy and the first time I have used those two In colors.

The Stampin' Llamas are Hopping Again!

Welcome to our blog hop, we are small in numbers this time but I am sure there has been things you have pinned for inspiration.  You might have hopped over from Buffy's Blog and if you did I hope you enjoyed her blog as much as I do.

For our hop I decided to use the same floral stamp set on all of my cards, I decided on Secret Garden. So here are the cards I came up with.

For my first card I used Red, White and Black.

• The card base is Whisper White CS, layered with Basic Black CS, then Real Red CS.
• On a piece of 3 3/4" x 5" Whisper White CS I stamped the same flower over and over with Stazon. I started at the middle of the bottom and masked the flower as I stamped.
• The sentiment is from Express Yourself, I stamped it with Real Red.

Card number #2 uses Rose Red, Very Vanilla, Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede

,

• The card base is Baked Brown Sugar CS layered with Rose Red CS then Crumb Cake DSP,
• On a piece of Very Vanilla CS I stamped three of the flowers from Secret Garden. I started with the largest flower and stamped it in the lower right corner using Baked Brown Sugar. Next I took the second largest flower and stamped it overlapping both sides of the large flower using Rose Red. On the other side of the second flower I stamped the lily, again overlapping using Strawberry Slush.
• The sentiment is from Bring on the Cake stamped with Soft Suede, I layered it onto Rose Red CS and then onto Soft Suede CS. I then added it onto the card.

My last card uses Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Primrose Petals and Crushed Curry.

• The card base is Very Vanilla CS layered with a piece of Rose Red CS that I ran through the Big Shot using the Stripes Embossing Folder.
• I stamped the flowers on a piece of Watercolor paper using Stazon.
• I colored the flowers using Rose Red and Crushed Curry on the largest flower, then Primrose Petals and Chocolate Chip and the next largest flower and the lily I used Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral ink. I used an Aqua Painter to color them.
• I layered it onto a piece of Chocolate Chip CS.
• I punched a strip of Very Vanilla CS with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch and attached it to the bottom of the layered image.
• On a scrap of Rose Red CS I stamped the sentiment from Blooming with Kindness with Versamark and then heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. I ran it through the Big Shot and cut it out with one of the Apothecary Accents Framelit. I popped the sentiment up with Dimensionals.

I hope you found some inspiration for Secret Garden. Thanks for stopping by! Hop on over to Stephanie's Blog and check out her projects.

April Shower Springtime Hop

I have missed the last couple of hops that my friends have done, so I am happy I was able to hop this time.  We officially start at 9 pm. You may have hopped over from my friend Marsha's blog, I am sure that you enjoyed seeing her projects.
I made two cards today. The first card uses two stamp sets- Blooming with Kindness and Made for You.

• The card base is Very Vanilla, I used Delicate Designs Embossing Folder on the bottom edge.
• On a piece of Canvas Creations I repeatedly stamped the image from Blooming with Kindness in Rose Red. I used the Large Scallop Edgelit on the bottom edge. I layered it onto the Rose Red CS, then onto the card base.
• On a scrap of canvas I stamped the flower again in Rose Red and the I stamped the phrase from Made for You in Raspberry Ripple. I used the Large Oval Punch to punch it out. I punched a scrap of Rose Red with the Scallop Oval Punch attached it to the card front then popped the phrase up with Dimensioals on the scalloped oval.

The second card uses Wonderful Mother, Hearts a Flutter and the Artisan Embellishment Kit.

• The card base is Marina Mist,
• I used pieces from the Artisan Embellishment kit on this card.  I added the dollie first.
• On a scrap of Primrose Petals  I stamped the heart from Hearts a Flutter in Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder then cut it with the Hearts a Flutter Framelit. I added it next.
• On the tag from the kit I Stamped the phrase from Wonderful Mother in Raspberry Ripple and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. I added it over the dollie and heart.
• Next I popped the tag up with Dimensionals.
• I Layered the two laces next with Sticky Strip from the kit. I then added Midnight Muse Ribbon over it again using Sticky Strip.
• The button from the kit came next, then a Vintage Faceted Designer Button and a Large Pearl Jewel.

Your next stop is to my friend Jeans blog. I hope you enjoy your visits along our hop.

CASEing Pintrest

I tried photographing this card a couple of times but could not get a good picture of it. I saw a card on Pintrest that was a one layer card the butterflies on it were not Stampin' UP!.

• The card base is Naturals White.
• I used a butterfly from Nature Walk and one from Papillon Potpourri. I stamped them along the right edge using Pool Party, Midnight Muse and Lucky Limeade inks.
• The phrase is from Blooming with Kindness, stamped with Midnight Muse.
