If you love the look of watercoloring and beautiful vibrant color, this is the card for you. And the best part? It’s SUPER easy to create!
Using my Stampin’ Up! watercolor pencils, I scribbled Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay across my Shimmery White paper (don’t use Whisper White as it will pill when you apply water). Next, I applied water to each color using an Aqua Painter and I tried to blend the colors that were right next to each other. The colors come alive when you add water!
I used my Misti (a non Stampin’ Up! tool) to stamp my hell0 because I wanted to be able to get a nice dark impression with my Memento black ink. Both stamps (hello and friend) come from the stamp set Hello Friend which is a brand new stamp set! (In the next week I’ll be offering a To Go class using this set).
I finished it off with our Enamel Glitter Dots for a little bit of sparkle.
I hope you give this a try and if you do, I’d LOVE for you to email me your creation! Or ask to join my Facebook group and post it over there! I’d love for you to join even if you don’t have a card to share. Click here to join my Stamping with Tracy Facebook group!

Stamping Supplies To Make Today’s Card

Need a quick tag? You’d be surprised how quick these are to make! You can attach them to a gift with Baker’s Twine or use a glue dot to adhere them directly to a gift as I’ve done below.
The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch is what makes this tag so quick and easy to make! To begin, you want to start with a 2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock which you’ll then insert into the punch. Push down and you already have a tag!
If you have trouble inserting the paper into the punch, trim the 2″ side, just a tad and it should slide in easily.
Attach a piece of Designer Series Paper that measures 2″ x 2-3/4″. I used Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper for all of my tags.
The sweet sentiment comes from the stamp set Grateful Garden and I used a variety of inks: Memento Ink (black), Pool Party and Tranquil Tide. I used what I felt matched the paper best but I used Memento Ink for the majority of the tags. I cut them out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I love the faux stitching around the edges. I added some rhinestones for a little bling!
I finished the tags off by threading ribbon at the top and tying it off with Whisper White Baker’s Twine. I used Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon and Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon and again, used the one that I felt matched the paper the best.
I am sending the Glitter Enamel Dots to several people. I hope they enjoy the dots AND the tags!

Today I’d like to share a fun card using the Polished Stone Technique! But first, I want to mention the Paper Pumpkin Flash sale! It started last night and will continue until tonight at 11:59, Mountain Time.
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up! is a crafting subscription kit that delivers creativity to your door every month. Every kit includes an exclusive stamp set, ink spot, and embellishments to create a predesigned project. The monthly subscription is $19.95 per month but you can try one month for just $5.00! It’s an incredible way to try Paper Pumpkin but this price only lasts until tonight!
If you’d like to give Paper Pumpkin a try, click HERE and you’ll be able to easily sign up! If you love it, you’ll continue to receive a box of creativity each month. If not, simply cancel. Be sure to use the PROMO CODE: ONEDAY0717.
Onto my card! The Polished Stone technique is quite fun and very addicting! You need just a few supplies: reinkers (pictured below), rubbing alcohol, cotton balls and glossy cardstock, a new item in the catalog!
Next, add rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball. Add drops of reinker onto the cotton ball, I added four drops of each color (Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist).
Next, take the cotton ball and pounce it all over the surface of the glossy cardstock. Once you’ve done this all over the paper, take a clean cotton ball and dab over where you see puddles. OR you can forget this step. It depends on the look you want but I did do this step. Once it dries, you’ll have a beautiful, one of a kind, masterpiece!
It’s really fun and once you start, you’ll want to experiment with different colors!

Bermuda Bay: 11″ x 4-1/4″ Scored @ 5-1/2″
