Rick's July Thank You Cards Featuring the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my July Thank You Cards.  For this month's cards I picked the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set which is also the stamp set I picked for this years Summer Retreat to go.  You can read more about that here.  I thought this was the perfect Summer Stamp Set with all the lovely flowers just begging to be stamped.  Here's a look at my cards.

The Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set is a DistINKtive Stamp Set that was laser etched to create different tones and values on your projects without having to use multiple stamps or ink colors.  This set was designed to give the look of watercolor without paint brush or water.  Super cool right.  Here's a look at the stamp set and you can see why I feel in love with it when I saw it in the catalog.
You may want to have a Piercing Mat just in case.  When I first used this set I needed one but once I got my stamps seasoned I didn't have to use it as you will see in the video.  Just a little tip for you if you are in a pinch you can use a full sheet of dimensionals as that little extra cushion.  I did it a couple weeks ago while working on a presentation I did for Stampin' Up! at a Mini Demonstrator Retreat.  

I switched up the color combinations for all my cards this month, but basically kept the design the same.  There maybe a few variations but it's hand made not hallmark after all.   For this card and the one I shared in the video I used Blueberry Bushel, Calypso Coral, and Call Me Clover.   You can see in the image above all the different tones and values created from this type of stamp.  And the best part is it was only one stamp and I didn't have to layer multiple stamps to get that look.  Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have enjoyed the little look at my July Thank you cards.  Each time you order with me you will get one of the color combinations sent to you in the mail.  If you need any of the supplies you can pick them up in my online store I look forward to being your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. 
Happy Stampin'

Magical Mermaid Birthday Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card featuring the Magical Mermaid Stamp set.  For this card I designed it using both carry over products and brand new products from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Catalog.  Here's a look at today's card.

I used the Come Sail Away Designer Series paper for the background of my card.  Along with some die cuts from the Smooth Sailing Dies.  I thought it was very fitting to use both the New Designer Series paper and dies and match them with the Magical Mermaid stamp set.  I stamped and colored the mermaid in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her using my Stampin' Blends.  As far as which ones I used I picked Seaside Spray (New 2019-2021 In Color), Poppy Parade, and Ivory.  No super fancy coloring just super simple.
On the inside of the card I added a strip of Seaside Spray cardstock that I stamped the seaweed from the Magical Mermaid set on in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The sentiment was stamped in Seaside Spray ink on Whisper White and then I used another die from the Smooth Sailing Dies to cut out the sentiment.  Today's card is part of a blog hop for Kylie Bertucci's Training Group.  So will find a ton of great projects along the hop.  If you are viewing this post on my wordpress site you will need to click here to view the blog roll.

  • Another note if you leave a comment and don't get one back don't think that I didn't read it I am in the middle of working out a problem on my blog with replying to comments.  I comment on everyone's comment but I noticed they are not showing up.  So I  am trying to get that all fixed.  Leave a comment on the wordpress site for now and that way I can differently reply.
