Happy Monday! I hope your week has started off well!
Today I have a card that’s been embossed with the Colorful Seasons stamp set and sponged with Lemom Lime Twist ink. I love the sentiment which is from the Hello Friend stamp set
I used the new 3/8″ Metallic Edge Ribbon in silver. It’s so pretty in person!! You can also purchase this ribbon with a gold trim and it will definitely be on my next order

Happy Saturday! For today’s card I used stamps from the brand new stamp set, Oh So Eclectic. Using Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Peekaboo Peach and Pink Pirouette, I sponged color all over the surface of my Whisper White paper. I find it very relaxing!
But first, I prepared my paper for embossing by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over the surface. This really, really helps embossing powder from sticking to your project and I highly recommend doing this step! Then I stamped images from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set on my paper using Versamark ink. It’s really difficult to see what you’re doing so I stamped one to two stamps at a time, covered them with embossing powder and then continued to stamp. This will make it easy to see where you’ve already stamped on the paper.
Once my stamping was done, I grabbed the Heat Tool and melted the embossing powder. It’s magic! Time to add color! Using a blending tool, I sponged color all over the surface of my paper blending each color into one another. After I added one color, I took a lint free rag and went over the surface of each embossed shape. The color will come right off of the embossing but I have found that if I wait until I’m completely finished, it seems to stain somewhat.
Once I was happy with the color I had applied, I stamped the sentiment (also from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set) onto Basic Black paper using Versamark Ink (don’t forget to use the embossing buddy first). I heat set it and then cut it out with a 1″ punch. I used two Glitter Enamel Dots on the sentiment. These dots are SO PRETTY and I think they are much prettier in person! Unfortunately they are currently on back order but should be back in stock on June 12th.
I prefer to use a blending tool that Stampin’ Up! does not carry in the catalog. The one I use has a wooden handle and I just find it easier to achieve the look I want. You can also use Stampin’ Sponges or Sponge Daubers as many demonstrators are quite successful with these tools.

Just as many of you did, I placed a Stampin’ Up! order on June 1st. It arrived late Tuesday afternoon right as I was getting ready to make dinner so I had to wait until after dinner before I could slowly take everything out. So. Much. Fun!!!!!!
As soon as I saw the Stampin’ Up! planner in the new catalog, I knew that it would be on my first order (see it right there at the top of the box?). I starting putting it together Tuesday night and what’s nice is that I can use it NOW because all of the pages are undated.
The paper is nice and thick, a feature that I am very happy about. Besides loving planners, I also love pens so that means that the ink won’t show through as it would with thin paper.
There are many little extras in the kit such as three small sized sticky notes, pocket pages for notes or receipts, stickers, 4 photo protector pages so you can add some cute pictures of your family, quotes, etc. and so much more!
The video below will allow you to see all of the features of this brand new planner from Stampin’ Up! Click the video and you’ll be taken to the Stampin’ Up! YouTube channel. As soon as you arrive there, the video will begin.

I’m back with another card showcasing the Happy Birthday Thinlits, a new die in the Stampin’ Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog. I started out by sponging a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist and Pacific Point.
My intention was to use the piece as a background for a card but I didn’t care for how it turned out so I pulled out my Big Shot and used the Happy Birthday Thinlits to cut out the words Happy Birthday! Perfect solution!
I cut three more using Bermuda Bay cardstock and then stacked them on top of each other (using the Fine Tip Glue Pen) to create more dimension. The embossing on my Whisper White cardstock was created using the Softly Falling embossing folder and the Big Shot.
I received my order with all new goodies from Stampin’ Up! late yesterday afternoon which included the Iridescent Sequins so I added a few to my card. I love the little bit of sparkle they add!
Today’s the last day of my Mini-Series using the Happy Birthday Thinlits. This brand new die is one that I know I’ll reach for over and over again so you’ll definitely see more ideas in the future!
