got a chance to this week. These colors really work well as watercolor.
The Shaded Spruce became very blue when combined with mostly water in
the background. And the Berry Burst could easily be tamed down to a
light pink with more water.<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
I dug up this old DSP; it took me awhile. I had small samples in a
notebook I keep of patterned paper. But trying to find the actual paper
was a whole other adventure!<br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
I used my label maker for the sentiment. A few years ago I realized that
using black tape in my label maker mimics white embossing but is
cleaner and faster. A bit more restrictive in what can be done, but
worth the trade off.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I also entered this in the <a href="https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2024/02/february-2024-challenge.html" target="_blank">Triple B - Birds, Butterflies & Blooms Challenge</a>.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <b>Spring Mini Catalog</b> from Stampin' Up! is now out and Sale-A-Bration is going on through the end of February. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">With<b> Sale-A-Bration</b> you can earn <b>FREE</b>

It went so fast I made two cards that show the versatility of the sketch.

It really did not take long - somewhere between 5-10 minutes. I did have to make it twice because I learned something key in putting this together - glue your strips on before stamping the sentiment. It's a WHOLE lot easier to center the sentiment between the strips than it is to try and get the strips centered above and below the sentiment and be equidistant from the top and bottom of the card. I also used strips longer than the card and trimmed them once glued down. I'm sure we've all had pieces we thought we cut the same size but were that millimeter off from the card front; this prevents that from happening.<br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUI4kkt9dV4S6UelvAATVAY3SVRY7iC-2eYhHI8uM97Zz2_M2mrmOHXXHtHtUnRDLyxwLHCWHAkY9othaM9bWGbJTy_KUKsgm59dpE6k5xiOQtKlNYkyONpAVziRUH6N82syMy_vDlCh0rNP2EqrE4iHUJ8motYB-NW3KNQL0-kPz6wG3ShlgmzbbCXxc/s2916/SI%2020240220%2002.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2576" data-original-width="2916" height="566" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUI4kkt9dV4S6UelvAATVAY3SVRY7iC-2eYhHI8uM97Zz2_M2mrmOHXXHtHtUnRDLyxwLHCWHAkY9othaM9bWGbJTy_KUKsgm59dpE6k5xiOQtKlNYkyONpAVziRUH6N82syMy_vDlCh0rNP2EqrE4iHUJ8motYB-NW3KNQL0-kPz6wG3ShlgmzbbCXxc/w640-h566/SI%2020240220%2002.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The second card (which I actually made first) uses the dies from Darling Details. I love this edge die! Unfortunately I had very few current 1/4" ribbons that fit through the edge so I used this Petal Pink ribbon. While the card is pretty I feel it would be better with a floral rather than solid background but that would take it out of being CAS. So I left it as is and will insert a different paper later.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The sentiment set I used is from the Annual Catalog and is called Biggest Wish. It comes with Thanks, Birthday, Happy, Hello and Friend in both the big, bold font and the script font so you can mix and match. The more I play with this set and the sketch the more I like both. The striped card can go to anyone while the pink card is feminine. I can see that by just changing the paper and colors you can get a totally different look!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <b>Spring Mini Catalog</b> from Stampin' Up! is now out and Sale-A-Bration is going on through the end of February. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">With<b> Sale-A-Bration</b> you can earn <b>FREE</b>

She knows she's having a girl which made it nice when choosing colors and a gift!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitM0n0U7K4c9HUFoTMZHOKzKv_kNdvPqfYOh20LDv_xxOXzBqyj2_cYOFazdDHPCtRqiL7ZbRIn-P65A6wOcDGvrDD_D96EsETuj2-RnsJLChZW4HBmzUGl2vmKGIcwUAhFSEm7zGl26YFuZQA6AXFFVi4v-Hk7np62IsUTMkYh8C1oZhi8PUkkAZ88cM/s2829/SI%2020240215%2002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2829" data-original-width="2345" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitM0n0U7K4c9HUFoTMZHOKzKv_kNdvPqfYOh20LDv_xxOXzBqyj2_cYOFazdDHPCtRqiL7ZbRIn-P65A6wOcDGvrDD_D96EsETuj2-RnsJLChZW4HBmzUGl2vmKGIcwUAhFSEm7zGl26YFuZQA6AXFFVi4v-Hk7np62IsUTMkYh8C1oZhi8PUkkAZ88cM/w530-h640/SI%2020240215%2002.jpg" width="530" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This set, Little Dreamers, is especially adorable if you like cute animals. I happen to love them and love coloring them so it really appeals to me!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I used a combo of Stampin' Blends and Copic markers to color the elephant. I find that sometimes the Blends don't have light enough colors for me so I need to add the Copics.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm entering this in The Paper Players color challenge PP676 - Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Smoky Slate and White. All perfect for a sweet baby card!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I punched out a few hearts using the Country Bouquet punch to add to the "love" theme. I tried using a Berry Burst Glimmer paper for some of the punched hearts but they seemed a bit over the top for a baby card. While I often like to add a little sparkle, for some reason I decided it wasn't the right thing for THIS particular card.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Something I like to do, especially when I'm not mailing the card, is stamping an envelope. It doesn't take long and adds a lot. I usually use the image and stamp it only partially on the corner of the envelope. Here I added a few hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Challenges entered:</b></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2024/02/pp676-color-challenge-from-leanne.html" target="_blank">The Paper Players - Color Challenge PP676</a></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://thesisterhoodofcrafters.blogspot.com/2024/02/february-14-2024-love.html" target="_blank">The Sisterhood of Crafters - Love</a></span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <b>Spring Mini Catalog</b> from Stampin' Up! is now out and Sale-A-Bration is going on through the end of February. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">With<b> Sale-A-Bration</b> you can earn <b>FREE</b>

I just can't all the time. For multiple reasons, including there are sets that I have that I love and won't part with. And I'm sure most of you also have older sets that you love. It's always great to get them out to use one more time. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Holiday sets in particular are like this for me. There are only so many themes for most holidays so I tend to keep the ones I love and get rid of the rest (which I am doing with my de-stash give-away!) This set will not be going anywhere - sorry.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Occasionally, I will be pulling out some older sets to show you how to add new life to them. Sometimes all it takes is a new layout or patterned paper or embossing folder or sentiment. This card would have been better served with a new sentiment - I find the script font a little dated - but I did not have a current Easter sentiment that fit. All in all, I don't think it looks too dated with the embossing folder in the background. Embossed backgrounds seem to be everywhere now. And when I say "old" I mean something that is more than five years old. This set is from the 2011-2012 catalog. Things change in the paper crafting world but not that fast!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My advice - don't use a 10 year old stamp, 10 year old patterned paper, 10 year old color combos, 10 year old layouts at the same time. Pick one and update the rest. Your 10 year old whatever will look totally updated! <a href="http://spectrum-ink.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-really-old-stamp-is-given-new-life.html" target="_blank">See this post</a> where I used an even older stamp (from 1996) and updated it.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <b>Spring Mini Catalog</b> from Stampin' Up! is now out and Sale-A-Bration is going on through the end of February. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">With<b> Sale-A-Bration</b> you can earn <b>FREE</b>

I have a wedding card I made a couple of weeks ago but couldn't post before the wedding. It just didn't seem right in case the bride saw it before I gave it to the happy couple.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0HuoQn8oouFVlWFJYFZmeuCaw_ZBPStOkLH1Ob5JG3brP9EmVXZEo4W7Fie7bAy7efqXMLVTgJv044VJacpFUn_Ingr0OwtLHtUgDY_V13AtTZVVRp8KPlZDfABuvtsLIz2ozwP0fkw_Eft83ifJruHMhkv91XfdIXCKYzW79npMifmL0znwf7gs13f8/s3024/SI%2020240213%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0HuoQn8oouFVlWFJYFZmeuCaw_ZBPStOkLH1Ob5JG3brP9EmVXZEo4W7Fie7bAy7efqXMLVTgJv044VJacpFUn_Ingr0OwtLHtUgDY_V13AtTZVVRp8KPlZDfABuvtsLIz2ozwP0fkw_Eft83ifJruHMhkv91XfdIXCKYzW79npMifmL0znwf7gs13f8/w640-h640/SI%2020240213%2001.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This card uses products from the new Forever Lover Suite from Stampin' Up! I'm not big on buying wedding sets (unless they can be used for other things) or baby sets. Until now. As happens with life you go through stages. Thirty-five years ago weddings and babies were all I knew. Then they stopped. Now, it's those babies having weddings and babies!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This card is for one of my dearest friend's daughter. The daughter is even named after me - her middle name is my name! So I had to make her a special card.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I started with one of the foiled cards from the Suite. They are beautiful! I layered a piece of vellum cut wit the Deckled Rectangle die but you could just cut a rectangle. I love the rough edge but in this case it may not have added that much. I used Gold Foil to cut the center outline and - this is key - use self adhesive backing on the foil or you will have a hard time gluing it down without the glue messing up your foil.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The inlay is not difficult. I just cut the same piece again and filled in the gaps like a puzzle. Using the Take Your Pick tool putty end makes it super easy to pick up pieces and lay them down. I put a small dot of glue in the hole where the piece fit and pretty soon it was finished.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I used Mint Macaron, a retired color, for the insert and sentiment. </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">There are two types of card where I will use retired colors because close isn't good enough - wedding and graduation. A bride has her colors and schools have theirs! And you don't mess with either - LOL!</span></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The <b>Spring Mini Catalog</b> is now out and Sale-A-Bration is going on through the end of February. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">With<b> Sale-A-Bration</b> you can earn <b>FREE</b>

This one is for Mary's color challenge at Splitcoaststampers this week. She changed up the colors a bit - Garden Green, Real Red, Gorgeous Grape with Anything Goes for dessert.

It was hard to get three in patterns so I added the Garden Green square. I used a sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts which has a matching die set that cuts right around the words. I'm loving that look!<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I wanted the red to pop so I kept that to a minimum.

Back in December I posted this Z-fold card as a sneak peek of the new Stampin' Up! Spring Mini catalog. This is a stamp and PUNCH bundle which is great for new stampers who may not have invested in a die cutting device or even those who want to craft while traveling. A punch is pretty easy to take.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_5jW7YOUUujwk4yqEiDLJOOe4xtyM0nLI_RSKT3p0Al2CXgYmUDZNN9mSOHJef07_PI_zh60xb3xVHkk0XnQR6YXdbUgBsaDxj2-PzomDzyorKiTd6xV90MQEXxNMsVJbk-8WQaF2f4hhD5GJpBUvgu1OxNx3pxRUojReY4E8FRWjNbPyQ4bc79IfDM/s3415/SI%2020240125%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3415" data-original-width="2965" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd_5jW7YOUUujwk4yqEiDLJOOe4xtyM0nLI_RSKT3p0Al2CXgYmUDZNN9mSOHJef07_PI_zh60xb3xVHkk0XnQR6YXdbUgBsaDxj2-PzomDzyorKiTd6xV90MQEXxNMsVJbk-8WQaF2f4hhD5GJpBUvgu1OxNx3pxRUojReY4E8FRWjNbPyQ4bc79IfDM/w556-h640/SI%2020240125%2001.jpg" width="556" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhac_D9fCgyZgMcoCV_TniYw8AiIG8u53GZNGuxDAOHNk8u1ELp76_m408vAQ7r8Mxhl_o25vSLwWDjVzondJAF5dMlBvFIYfbqsBjhVYRwlJgkAdhAAOVQx0PD78N85TkFsTdOwEldHx9Shk_s-n0-tqY-gtFGn8W906Rjm6yDPAqR-EhlAkGK2vNHvpg/s3024/SI%2020240125%2002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2731" data-original-width="3024" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhac_D9fCgyZgMcoCV_TniYw8AiIG8u53GZNGuxDAOHNk8u1ELp76_m408vAQ7r8Mxhl_o25vSLwWDjVzondJAF5dMlBvFIYfbqsBjhVYRwlJgkAdhAAOVQx0PD78N85TkFsTdOwEldHx9Shk_s-n0-tqY-gtFGn8W906Rjm6yDPAqR-EhlAkGK2vNHvpg/w400-h361/SI%2020240125%2002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Last week I had a workshop where we made several cards using this suite of products.

Click <a href="https://spectrum-ink.blogspot.com/2024/01/cas-valentine-de-stash-giveaway.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see Tuesday's post.

I had this card laying near my baby wipes (what I use for stamp cleaning) and a dirty one dropped on it!

I wanted an easy and quick Valentine - one that could be made in multiples and easy to mail if needed.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheCmQwEV2AmZh_e0wnOzqwqkQvU8g4GAsgzSs9uaYQ-xuCu6QdfA8UF-ZvAikFbAFtTQKpS9Q9W3pKhnwxeJNIRD5Ly0jpCvLwjqmJyJeQIZdLFYuEzwhyrZ0wSFl56bjie4dQGvHlbCxv1WEmr2JlGHQJ3_iqKbQLn3_qutEYQMg44Ek0msmxvwYayU/s3265/SI%2020240123%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3265" data-original-width="2806" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheCmQwEV2AmZh_e0wnOzqwqkQvU8g4GAsgzSs9uaYQ-xuCu6QdfA8UF-ZvAikFbAFtTQKpS9Q9W3pKhnwxeJNIRD5Ly0jpCvLwjqmJyJeQIZdLFYuEzwhyrZ0wSFl56bjie4dQGvHlbCxv1WEmr2JlGHQJ3_iqKbQLn3_qutEYQMg44Ek0msmxvwYayU/w550-h640/SI%2020240123%2001.jpg" width="550" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.com/2024/01/challenge-529-sketch.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="429" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3l8ZiPcMVAipgK5rgKZfn1bFRyHD1dv6U7cFTPxUGRMa10blf_EJzpaXpj7-0jP8w9TOAKSx1bkxUrX-UYPchyphenhyphenZdWi1BEpJjBaWnHgluu0QX8fGZvSQF7D7AIRHFF4AXZQAOWO6q3cmHPSb6SqtJcmOmSpgkdcFeDj1PwNe_w9eoyWYRrFJWiCIcQ9cA/w264-h400/sketch%20529.PNG" width="264" /></a></div></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This one certainly fits the criteria! Once you cut the DSP in half diagonally you have the background for two cards. This pattern isn't directional so I can flip it so the cards are exactly alike, but if it is a directional pattern then just reverse the pattern side and sentiment placement to the upper left. The heart is popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals but is still fine to mail.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The heart stamp and die is part of a set called Hooray for Surprises that can create fun interactive cards where you pull back a tab to reveal an image or sentiment. The sentiment I used is from the Throughout the Year stamp set that was first offered last fall but is still available online. It has great sentiments for multiple occasions.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The patterned paper is a Specialty DSP - one side has gold foil patterns - and is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. Buy the Hooray for Surprises bundle along with the Dimensionals and you qualify for the DSP!</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/categories/specials/sale-a-bration?demoid=2130323" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1334" data-original-width="2000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RMQApvbatqWDY67b-Kf1AZRrSr8_DMNajeXrzFgK_La1rpgX_slX8s0EcEqwtGjgJK4xVCCgPBXk5P-eLi_xQQrDOSYgrFil2d2Fa3zxpU3o_rRlLa6mYqJiNW1IBPh0Z0G1zvoalLGQULpbZloMARYd_DFespOEfvWQQL6WM1mmrXlo2n89zu4_e6w/s320/2024_SAB_COVER-14.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>AND

(And I'm not going to start now - LOL.) I love this little bird because she looks pretty nondescript and you can make her into pretty much any bird you'd like. I made her into my marvelous pink and brown bird here.<br /></span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7a6eQr4j5tEp6uTj1G7DXai8w1tmv8PPKNmJrQyHpH-55k4cusEwuiT05MTrvMyjd3ZCTn7snPChyphenhyphenH_E2t7HyrmAvfJ91ck9Oz92ROPGl1x92b76RAclyxoz6kjnECo_Te8WHFqvqIrvZfVfgT4VPGiYd8AgOUan9bQ4UrV07oQcG0cj7QquWuCehA3c/s3235/SI%2020240122%2001.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3235" data-original-width="2906" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7a6eQr4j5tEp6uTj1G7DXai8w1tmv8PPKNmJrQyHpH-55k4cusEwuiT05MTrvMyjd3ZCTn7snPChyphenhyphenH_E2t7HyrmAvfJ91ck9Oz92ROPGl1x92b76RAclyxoz6kjnECo_Te8WHFqvqIrvZfVfgT4VPGiYd8AgOUan9bQ4UrV07oQcG0cj7QquWuCehA3c/w574-h640/SI%2020240122%2001.jpg" width="574" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I haven't water colored in awhile and thought it would be good for this size image. I used an aqua painter and the re-inkers in Pecan pie and Melon Mambo. I decided to emboss my strip down the side rather than the card background. The white strip is 3/4 inches wide and the Pecan Pie in the background is 1 inch giving a nice edge to it. I used a Perennial Postage die for my square behind the bird.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6kLtYSbntiffN9nG4DaYnbibzT8TZcz76YboLEbpic_kI6_NQZ6gp11vu2gFQQ7uaQRrAhOW30-r3iv9Vxj660JQiGNQpgIAY2G86ibiK2vLWP5bySPgqZdn6ZcR88iTvgh9Ou_IVV9IOZ2jrob5Zxrnp0GRHa0L4x-mtPmPy5Sf67J0dd5Iax_STGJM/s1445/SI%2020240122%2002.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1445" data-original-width="1377" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6kLtYSbntiffN9nG4DaYnbibzT8TZcz76YboLEbpic_kI6_NQZ6gp11vu2gFQQ7uaQRrAhOW30-r3iv9Vxj660JQiGNQpgIAY2G86ibiK2vLWP5bySPgqZdn6ZcR88iTvgh9Ou_IVV9IOZ2jrob5Zxrnp0GRHa0L4x-mtPmPy5Sf67J0dd5Iax_STGJM/w381-h400/SI%2020240122%2002.jpg" width="381" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />My water coloring needs a little practice, and I have to learn to loosen up a bit.

I cut a rectangle from Crumb Cake using the largest Deckled Rectangle die then embossed it. Using a light touch and blending brush, I hit the edges and raised portions with some Pecan Pie ink. The Tree Rings embossing folder is a hybrid meaning it comes with dies so that you can cut out the individual rings.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The sentiment is what really makes this card. I used the Mini Alphabet dies to create a custom message on the front. The inside is from the sentiment set Throughout the Year. </span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinshJl-kQ9nKmvJiy_0b_oqbQtYbLnFsidCbDtKJmm0W8XtTKmeU7FLoCjQtULMChZnN05DIt0zUsi5JSDwHkTnTEMoXoPMS0YG5D7RVcsiWNX41F09xlVo4Bzxh1eUM88ECY098bZ9rJawbKXXFCZVUAYqVe3DxnFtwanuruo-IBso89yCn8lCMimfLc/s3036/SI%2020240118%2002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3036" data-original-width="2566" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinshJl-kQ9nKmvJiy_0b_oqbQtYbLnFsidCbDtKJmm0W8XtTKmeU7FLoCjQtULMChZnN05DIt0zUsi5JSDwHkTnTEMoXoPMS0YG5D7RVcsiWNX41F09xlVo4Bzxh1eUM88ECY098bZ9rJawbKXXFCZVUAYqVe3DxnFtwanuruo-IBso89yCn8lCMimfLc/w338-h400/SI%2020240118%2002.jpg" width="338" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Right now is Sale-A-Bration</b> at Stampin' Up! - where you can earn <b>FREE</b>

She is the Color Challenge hostess and chose Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green with sunflowers as the optional "dessert." Although the theme of sunflowers seems autumn-like to me with the Granny Apple Green it was easy to make this springlike.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYz0CZVxT3XlvQe7aVzyaWtJvOszO0v_Jz6e_1P-rnAJ78zRjSO2q3hxFSOiI8zAc92t-CI9Hg5KaQlLBvwuAkQOFTi2qa_I0efTGYKykOoQ-wG0X5WJ3BJQK1DpcLtfpm6bWN8g5I7dD_Srl3iejsNamD6S6ol0OvWni1_5Wwc7i0uFMgGWCiM5ZDzNU/s2752/SI%2020240115%2001.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="2214" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYz0CZVxT3XlvQe7aVzyaWtJvOszO0v_Jz6e_1P-rnAJ78zRjSO2q3hxFSOiI8zAc92t-CI9Hg5KaQlLBvwuAkQOFTi2qa_I0efTGYKykOoQ-wG0X5WJ3BJQK1DpcLtfpm6bWN8g5I7dD_Srl3iejsNamD6S6ol0OvWni1_5Wwc7i0uFMgGWCiM5ZDzNU/w514-h640/SI%2020240115%2001.jpg" width="514" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I used the Cheerful Daisies stamp and die set. The flowers in this set have outline and solid stamps allowing you to choose if you'd like to color the flowers, or if you're not into coloring (or in a hurry as I usually am) you can use the solid stamp to color them in. The die set contains outline dies to cut the stamped images and solid dies that cut flowers and leaves and even the sentiment label!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I love floral spray cards; they are very simple to make. I just cut out my images and then start arranging - like you would do with real flowers. When I find the arrangement I like I start gluing. Tip - I use a fine tip glue and adhere the top image where I want it first, leaving the other images in place while I do. I glue down just the center of the top image (or I use a Stampin' Dimensional) so I can slip the other die cuts in place and adjust if necessary. Again I use just a bit of glue for all pieces. When everything is in place I can add more glue underneath with my fine tip glue.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This card went together very quickly. Adding the thread may have taken me the most time!</span></span> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The new <b><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/categories/whats-new/january-april-2024-mini-catalog?demoid=2130323" target="_blank">Spring Mini Catalog</a></b> has just released from Stampin' Up! and there are a ton of great new products which I will be featuring in the coming weeks.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Right now is also Sale-A-Bration</b> - where you can earn <b>FREE</b>

I've seen florals done where the leaves are not green so I thought I'd give it a shot and I like the look!</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn-La9v_myIXRYy96HAO5gMlx2U5K19hjV3xVUdB5LF9oJ8dcGTJV6z9gLHJ3N4wp3gqwwVR4iNDtfZ_ddL0BvNm88WVSsLX8519PZE1lrMaxmFCjWRorDl8I7f-zrgKijtexKK1hF5cspD9rvzdu_Fwp1DMxI0sMp2YeLKlp8QYLOP3DjKlu-eeOzYTg/s3375/SI%2020240101%2001.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3375" data-original-width="2876" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn-La9v_myIXRYy96HAO5gMlx2U5K19hjV3xVUdB5LF9oJ8dcGTJV6z9gLHJ3N4wp3gqwwVR4iNDtfZ_ddL0BvNm88WVSsLX8519PZE1lrMaxmFCjWRorDl8I7f-zrgKijtexKK1hF5cspD9rvzdu_Fwp1DMxI0sMp2YeLKlp8QYLOP3DjKlu-eeOzYTg/w546-h640/SI%2020240101%2001.jpg" width="546" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This stamp set has a matching stencil that makes it very easy to color!

My colors are Sweet Sorbet, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist and Petal Pink. I'll admit that I took them from some new designer paper from Stampin' Up! that I really like. I use DSP sparingly so it seems when I like one I REALLY like it. This one has some great smaller patterns.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRxAQ8A_SryboUzGMdm7jsx9IYYRJ3bQtJvME-TVt24TidcnG9cc1Lz0xP61np2gCsLKO_3Dzqb5H5QXci5m62XvZjFh9jWW2Tg_C2_I6j1W_EpaE4A9sju4wD42rBHCa-PG8QKth1U7D-juvoM2UkBXvCgNJAK21AQ0wvYPBXwgtYu-2B5ymO82BgtM/s3024/SI%2020231219%2002.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2846" data-original-width="3024" height="602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRxAQ8A_SryboUzGMdm7jsx9IYYRJ3bQtJvME-TVt24TidcnG9cc1Lz0xP61np2gCsLKO_3Dzqb5H5QXci5m62XvZjFh9jWW2Tg_C2_I6j1W_EpaE4A9sju4wD42rBHCa-PG8QKth1U7D-juvoM2UkBXvCgNJAK21AQ0wvYPBXwgtYu-2B5ymO82BgtM/w640-h602/SI%2020231219%2002.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />The patterns are perfect for fun fold cards so that is what I made. It's a Z-fold - a kind of fun-fold card that is easy to make. The base is an A2 card where the front is scored at 2 1/8" and fold back. The Z panel can be any size with two score lines; you just need to make sure the center panel between the two score lines is 2 1/8" so it's the same depth as the card base. My Z panel is 3 1/2" x 6 3/4". Starting from the left, I scored it at 2 1/2" and then 2 1/8" from that score line. </span></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Z panels can be placed anywhere and any size depending on your card base. Once you have the concept down there is a lot you can do with this style of card.

It really is simple - just a few panels, a nice bold sentiment and a punched bird. I love that I got to use the bird builder punch. This is a long retired Stampin' Up! punch but a favorite. I have so many dies now that I rarely use my punches but they really do make creating a card like this go fast. I also used my Bough punch by SU for some of the greenery.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For the bird, I used a bit darker red and sponged the edges for depth. I also used a black pen for the eye and a gold pen for the beak. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I hope you will join us in the fun this week!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Products used:</b></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Punches:</b> Stampin' Up!

Christmas candy is always so much fun (and tasty!).</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For me the hardest part was embossing the sentiment. I really don't have any problems with heat embossing it just seems like a lot of work. But sometimes nothing beats a white sentiment on dark paper. This wouldn't have looked the same in red ink on white.

So much fun! And lot's of inspiration for their products both old and new. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to use my new (to me) toys but I did today.

It's one of those things that you don't immediately notice but adds "that something." To make my life simpler and the card go faster, I cut all the small pieces (not the hat) from white and colored them with Copics or Stampin' Blends.

We've got a great color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches this week. One that can be used for the holidays or not. I chose to go holidays. I've thought about sending out all the random cards I've made throughout the years rather than try to make Christmas cards this year. Although, since Thanksgiving is on the 23rd this year there is slightly more time between turkey day and Christmas I may make new ones... </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2MmAdRwYG3Y8sLA1wF5JDp_T15CBmc4FxLNTJnbnehqVsjEt3nSZYOL-cr8KBcZKRiiY62lTCSXw1Em4512TE9WnxkXidjtmu6p47-37LYHb3oHEdc8RnTsXHucsPatzFDfPiHk-FuDWFxOl7trdykZ2XYMkEMiIahc3P9aXrqo2eu0ARxIkk_h6GeJE/s3584/SI%2020231107%2001.jpg" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3584" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2MmAdRwYG3Y8sLA1wF5JDp_T15CBmc4FxLNTJnbnehqVsjEt3nSZYOL-cr8KBcZKRiiY62lTCSXw1Em4512TE9WnxkXidjtmu6p47-37LYHb3oHEdc8RnTsXHucsPatzFDfPiHk-FuDWFxOl7trdykZ2XYMkEMiIahc3P9aXrqo2eu0ARxIkk_h6GeJE/w540-h640/SI%2020231107%2001.jpg" width="540" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-525-colours.html" style="font-family: arial; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="750" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNFxtGQ3FYLud4vcHN7JjPypnEo-EaKMzCtVPccHZG-Dbt6wXdYrAgEvQHyXqfAK0FmwgVaMnd71_dsfKQpBq_BUFdcF3961ePjla7GYi7bxafBHpc8dAJOYx0SQGR-kVEyFuLcfQH-vijU4hB3vZ28rJBYjOdYoY0q7ha7Ds38Kx6dHnJiwTlX7FPy1M/w400-h134/CC&S%20color525-001.png" width="400" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I added a neutral brown for the wood and black.

I think there are several reasons for this:</span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">First I have SO MUCH cardstock and paper that I would like to use it up. I no longer save all those itty bitty scraps! It has to be at least 3 x 3for me to save.</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Second, die cut cards usually go faster than cards I color. I say "usually" because if there are a lot of small pieces then they can take a while. But I also usually have leftover pieces which I save with the dies. And it has happened that I've gone to make a card and had everything I need already cut!</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">And lastly, it is really hard for me to give away my hand colored cards. They can take so much time! Especially Stamping Bella and My Favorite Things images as they tend to be larger and/or more detailed others. Cards that I color only go to people that I know will keep them. The thought of someone tossing the image I spent hours coloring really bothers me. (I know it shouldn't but it does.) Die cut cards are easy to recreate. In fact, once you've made one you can assembly line more.</span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So there you have my reasons that I've been doing more die cuts. All that said, I will probably decide to start coloring a whole lot more next year. I am very driven to create whatever happens to be "singing" to me at the time! Case in point, yesterday I did my first colored card in months.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm also entering this in the following challenges:</span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://peaceonearthchristmas.blogspot.com/2023/11/peace-on-earth-challenge-51.html" target="_blank">Peace on Earth Christmas Card Challenge</a></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2023/11/november-challenge.html" target="_blank">Triple B Challenge - Birds, Butterflies & Blooms <br /></a></span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Products used:</b></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Dies:</b> Lawn Fawn Build-a-Birdhouse and Winter Add-on</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Stamps:</b> Lawn Fawn Winter Birds</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Accessories:</b> Wink of Stella </span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Thanks for visiting today!

I chose Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Balmy Blue with Anything Goes for dessert.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJbJ5XtWxQKKSafuiv0fR2P65_7K98VkGIluJmtP25XwvQdxwGeBN9RiB5a-z9XIn23HbMC-DJZIUP5TwguJeyYps0yUuXt9RB_dMe-VVyS4Ho9VH2pdGK0BXBji0j75oly9RyUSNHi8Kza4aQxwaTj8ggQ-Y6PqcVebrao2MVQtFkwdQaog_bsmNZss/s2635/SI%2020231106%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2635" data-original-width="2635" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJbJ5XtWxQKKSafuiv0fR2P65_7K98VkGIluJmtP25XwvQdxwGeBN9RiB5a-z9XIn23HbMC-DJZIUP5TwguJeyYps0yUuXt9RB_dMe-VVyS4Ho9VH2pdGK0BXBji0j75oly9RyUSNHi8Kza4aQxwaTj8ggQ-Y6PqcVebrao2MVQtFkwdQaog_bsmNZss/w640-h640/SI%2020231106%2001.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I love pink and green as a Christmas alternative to red and green. I added the blue as I wanted to use one of the plaids in this great My Favorite Things paper pad. As it turns out I chose one without the blue.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I could not resist using these playful pups again. I've used each of these stamps before but they really remind me of my two new puppies - Duke and Buffy. My pups are Shih Tzus and the stamp for Buffy (pink hat) is very Shih Tzu like. The other has a bit too long of ears for a Shih Tzu but this dog in the string of lights is totally my Duke! He is full of it - a real little stinker! I thought about trying to mask the stamp and draw in new ears but I just didn't have time.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I used Copics to create the fur and think he looks a bit shaggy. The pinks are hard to match and the SU blend looks nothing like Polished Pink in my opinion so I went with my own combo. I used the RV 10-14 markers but felt there just wasn't enough blue in the color so I overlayed RV02, 06 & 09. It did help tone down some of the neon orange-ish color. As I said, pinks are hard with markers. I just don't like many of the colors that are currently produced.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_thLM3bmCoFRfa-5amnw4_iOj5o5txOHAsx8beOF60oOn1QEyvarWRNbphKbiPG02CG_cVDSivG9EWl9sPsPjnuVIX1pJLC8bYalw9ZYr7Pkw4LEGYkF-ywNEVwZXOztxnG9RA8xEJcy0XkHNGhsAEsd5drgjRcxqBdaU_fLICnSiM0Q8CFWiVjqUuq0/s1640/SI%2020231106%2002J.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="924" data-original-width="1640" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_thLM3bmCoFRfa-5amnw4_iOj5o5txOHAsx8beOF60oOn1QEyvarWRNbphKbiPG02CG_cVDSivG9EWl9sPsPjnuVIX1pJLC8bYalw9ZYr7Pkw4LEGYkF-ywNEVwZXOztxnG9RA8xEJcy0XkHNGhsAEsd5drgjRcxqBdaU_fLICnSiM0Q8CFWiVjqUuq0/w640-h360/SI%2020231106%2002J.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For my Anything Goes option I made a shaker card. I wanted to add a border to the card so I used a large scallop rectangle to create a panel. I felt the base needed some interest as did the back of the shaker so I used a retired embossing folder (Subtle) to give the cardstock just a bit of texture. I also felt that the plaid needed a little color around the edges so I stacked two layers of Polished Pink cardstock underneath the scalloped panel.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I hope you've enjoyed my card today.

Ribbon goes so well with gift tags it's almost a given!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I used some new dies from Spellbinders. The Santa Suit ornament literally went together in five minutes (or less). It took me longer to get out my cardstock and find the correct dies for this ornament than to cut the pieces and glue it together. If you need tags in quantity this is the one!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Santa face took a bit longer but only because I don't have cardstock that is a good skin color. Most are too yellow or pink. (If anyone knows of a good skin tone cardstock please comment below!) So I used ink to blend the ears, nose and face and that took a few minutes. If I hadn't needed to do that, this one would have taken me only slightly longer than the suit. This is a super collection!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Products used:</b></span></span></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Dies:</b> Spellbinders Festive Ornament Etched Dies and Santa's Festive Circle Crew by Nichol Spohr</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Ink:</b> Distress Oxide Tea Dye, Antique Linen and Tattered Rose</span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Thanks for visiting today!
