Perennial Birthday Card

The new Perennial Birthday stamp set in the Occasions catalog is fabulous! I had to have it when I saw the array of fonts and pretty little flowers. The stamp set pairs perfectly with the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper.

Life Looks Beautiful On You

I was going through my stash of stamps and re-discovered Beautiful You! There's so much "life" in each image and every time I see it I think of a friend or family member it reminds me of. Truly a beautiful stamp set...

Helpful Tips:

• I used Stampin' Blends to color the beautiful dancing woman. I like to trace a few lines of the stamped image using the darkest shade and then blend using the lighter shade. This creates beautiful depth and shadowy effects when coloring. 
• Add a die cut piece of vellum behind the sentiment circle to create a soft break between the two die cut circles.

Stampin' Up! Saturday| Tranquil Tulips Just For You

Happy first Stampin' Up! Saturday of 2018! :)

Today's project is inspired by page 28 of the current annual catalog. The original card features the Jar of Love stamp set. I don't have that stamp set but the flowers in the catalog sample reminded me of the flowers from the Tranquil Tulips stamp set, so I used that set and I'm in love with the finished card! What do you think?
