Here’s the card that I mentioned yesterday that uses the stamp set Sheltering Tree in a completely different way! Using my Big Shot (you could also use a circle punch), I cut a circle from a Post It Note so that my sentiment would fit under it. After stamping my sentiment with Memento Ink, I placed the circle over it and then began using the foliage stamp all over my Whisper White cardstock. Sometimes I used my Wild Wasabi and Pacific Point ink full strength and other times, I stamped off first. When I finished, I peeled off my Post It Note, added a few rhinestones and the card was done!
Sheltering Tree #137163
$24.95
I want to thank fellow demo, Brian King, for this clever way to use this set.

I was finally able to play with the stamp set Sheltering Tree and I’m very happy with how my card turned out. Every time I look at it on my desk, it makes me smile. I think it’s all of the pretty colors – I am definitely ready for Spring!
Tip: When you are using a photopolymer set that has many little pieces such as this set has, once you take the stamp off of your acrylic block, put it back IN THE CASE! I lost the swing and I was just sick when I realized it. I searched everywhere, even the garbage cans in my stamp room. It is a very small piece so I knew the likelihood of finding it was very small. I happened to mention this while with a group of demos and one of them said that she had two sets and that I could have the swing out of one of hers! Wasn’t that nice?? Doesn’t the kindness of others just make your day?
Stop by tomorrow and I’ll have a card using this stamp set but in a completely different way!

My card today uses several more stamps from the stamp set Painted Petals. I practiced stamping the flowers on my grid paper. I tried stamping the flowers then the stems but then I tried stems first and then the flowers which worked better for me. I read where another demo cut her flowers apart so that she could have a little more versatility with that particular stamp. I’m still trying to decide if I would like to do that! I’m leaning towards getting my scissors out!
My sentiment is also included in this set (there are three sentiments altogether in this set). I’ve had so much fun with this stamp set.
My supplies are listed below and clicking on any of the pictures will take you directly to my online store.

Today I have another Joy Fold card. This time I embossed my side panels with Daffodil Delight cardstock instead of using Designer Series paper. I did use the Painted Petals stamp set again and used my Pacific Point and Garden Green stamp pads. To get the look of two different colors of blue, some of my flowers are stamped directly from the stamp pad to my paper while others are stamped onto my grid paper first and then applied to my paper. This technique is called stamping off. I couldn’t resist using the one of the beautiful Something Borrowed Embellishments. If you didn’t see my post from Monday, click here to see how the card opens up.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend and that your day has started well!
Today I have a Joy Fold card using lots of new products! You can see how the card opens up in my picture below. I really love the watercolor effect so I think that’s why this stamp set appeals to me so much. It’s called Painted Petals and I’ve matched it up with the Painted Blooms DSP. The base of my card is Wild Wasabi and the insert uses my favorite In Color, Blackberry Bliss. To hold the card closed, I used one of our beautiful shiny Something Borrowed Embellishments. If you love bling, you’ll really like these!
