Celebrate Sunflowers Note Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you little sneak peek of some upcoming products with a note card that I Made using the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, from the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  Here is a look at my project for today.  

Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set: 

The Celebrate Sunflower (New in the 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog: will allow you to honor and celebrate friendships with heartfelt sentiments and a stunning set of sunflower images.  The stamp set features wonderful line art sunflowers and leaves that are perfect to color with your favorite coloring media.   The large sunflower image is great for a card front as well as elements on your cards.  I featured it today on my note card.  

This is a cling mount stamp set so it will stay in place on your block no matter what you are using it for.  There are eight stamps in the set four of which are line art images.  You have the large sunflower, which is one of my favorites, a smaller sunflower image with leaves attached, and two sets of different size leaves.  Along with some great mixed font sentiments.  The deeply etched images will give you excellent detail as you can see with my little note card today.  

Note Cards Perfect for Any Reason: 

I used the large sunflower to stamp all over my note card in Daffodil Delight Classic Ink.  I stamped it in a triangular pattern to add visual interest to the note card.  I then added the large leaf image stamped in Old Olive Classic Ink to fill in some of the white space on the note card.  This is a perfect example of some simple stamping.  Anyone could create this not card, from beginning crafters to someone that has been doing it for years that just needs to make a bunch of cards quick.  

I love to make note cards for some occasions because they are the perfect size to be tucked into someone’s lunch, bag, or anywhere.  Plus, they come in a pack of 20 with envelopes so you have plenty to work with.  Another great thing about them is they are ready for you to make and send, no cutting needed if you do not want to add any additional layers.  I only added one additional layer to my note card today.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock after stamping the sunflower image on it.  First, I stamped the sunflower off before stamping on the 1 1/16th x 2 ¾” piece of Daffodil Delight Cardstock.  Next, I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive Classic Ink and cut a fishtail banner on one end.  I added it to the note card with a couple Stampin’ Dimensionals.  

To finish off my note card I did stamp the large sunflower on the front of the envelope to have a matching presentation to the recipient.  I also stamped it on one corner of the flap.

My Uniquely Colored Cow Card for You Today!

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a very uniquely colored version of one of the cows from the Over the Moon Stamp Set that I used on my card today.  I do love bold bright colors and sometimes you don't have to color things the way people except or think they should be.  For example on my card for today, I used some colors on the cow that just might make you laugh if you saw this cow in real life.  I mean can you imagine walking through a field and you look up and a purple and pink spotted cow was following you. I can visually see the reaction on your face, and hear you bust out in laughter; right!   But, it's a card and you want to make people laugh and feel good when they open it.  So why not be udderly fantastic with a little of your coloring choices;  I mean sometimes life is a little to serious and we all need a good laugh so why not.  Here's a look at my card.

I wanted to do something that was a little unexpected with the coloring of this cow since the sentiment reads "You're Udderly Fantastic!"  So I thought why not give the person that gets this card, because we all now that one person that is udderly fantastic, and that would love this card and it make their day!  Just like everytime I see the commercial of the two ladies at the drug store. And,  they see the girl with the purple hair!  You expect one reaction but one of them runs to the color aisle and grabs boxes of purple hair color.  In the very next scene you see them walking into their high school reunion with purple in their hair.   Then we see them having just the best time dancing, laughing, and having fun talking to everyone.  This is what this card makes me think of it makes me think of that one or two people I know that I could send this card to and they would just love that they got a card with a purple headed cow on it.

So one of my points is for you to be you!  If you want a purple headed and pink spotted cow on your card go for it!  And, you color that purple and pink spotted cow if you want to!  Life is way to serious to be so uptight all the time over little things like coloring a few spots on a cow.  Card making is about making people feel something, about making them feel better about themselves, and about letting them know that you love them.  Over the past few days the sympathy cards have been coming in and I love every single one of them. Because I know that they were made with love and support from the person that sent them.  So why not send someone a uniquely colored cow in the mail.  The person you send it to just may need that laugh and feeling of love at the time.  Card making is so much more than what colors we put down on paper.  It's about the love that we share through that little piece a love with a fold in the middle.

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that I have inspired you a little to think outside the box a little with your coloring, and remember always be you no matter what your doing.  After all your friends love you for who you are not who they think you should be.  Have fun and color a purple headed pink and purple spotted cow today! You want regret it, because you just may need that little laugh. 

Happy Stampin'
