Quitabug Giveaway

Winner: Renee O'Conner

Hello again...I thought I would do a giveaway now that I'm back from my vacation. I love giving away goodies but haven't done so in awhile. 

This week, I'm giving away the Beautiful Peacock stamp set, along with, a packet of two Alaskan Blueberry tea pouches. Isn't that fun? I picked up a couple of these tea pouches while we were in Juneau, Alaska. They smell delicious!

Hello Card featuring Varied Vases

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I am officially back from my Alaskan cruise with Stampin' Up! and man oh man was it AMAZING! I had an unforgettable time and made so many new memories! Thank you again for all of your love and support in helping me achieve this goal! I appreciate you all so much!

Now it's time to get out of vacation mode and get back to business.
I thought I would share a simple card series this week. I've designed three cards to showcase just how easy it is to make gorgeous cards with limited supplies. I hope you enjoy! ♥

Project Measurements

whisper white thick card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

whisper white layer 3.75" x 5:

designer paper layer 1.5" x 4.25"

Helpful Tips:

• Stamp the flowers in Coastal Cabana full strength. Then stamp off the filler image once before stamping over top the flowers. This will allow a lighter shade of Coastal Cabana to peek show through the flowers. 
• When stamping your vase, be sure to stamp it upside down on your cardstock. This will make it much easier to punch out. 

For my Alaska swaps I substituted a single glitter dot in place of the ribbon. I had no interest in tying 26 bows using bakers twine, lol. I like to keep it simple when making multiples. I also cut the designer paper to 4" in order to get more pieces out of one sheet of 12 x 12.

Here is a picture of us (my honey and I) as we prepared to board this ship. Such an exciting day!

I'll share more pictures this week. I'm also working on a video for you all showing the entire experience.

Summer Lemonade featuring Coffee Cafe

 

Happy Monday! Today's project is a fun card with some major summer vibes. First off, I'm lovin' the new Pineapple Punch color. It is so bright and vibrant! This was definitely the perfect color for a glass of lemonade.

I created this card for my teams theme challenge last week, "Fun in the Sun". 

HOST CODE- R2A3WQ3U

Shop Stampin' Up!

Project Measurements

Pineapple Punch card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

Pineapple Punch layer 3.75" x 5"

Smoky Slate layer 2.5" x 3.5"

Shimmery White layer 2.25" x 3.25"

Helpful Tips

• Stamp the cup outline first in Smoky Slate on Shimmery White cardstock. Allow it to dry. Then use Aqua Painters to watercolor the Pineapple Punch  inside the cup. Allow this to dry. PRO TIP- if you're short on time, speed up the drying process using your Stampin' Up! Heat Tool. Once dry, stamp the ice cubes in Smoky Slate.
• Use the Coffee Cups framelits to die cut the frosty cup in vellum cardstock. PRO TIP- for a clear glass look use Window Sheet instead. Adhere the vellum by placing a glue dot in each corner (be sure to adhere your straw before adhering the vellum cup). 
• Use the Make a Difference stamp set to create the word "summer". Add lemon slices using the Lemon Zest stamp set.
