Mosaic Madness

 
Hi Stampers!
Today's card uses the brand new Mosaic Madness stamp set!  And madness it is! This is the trendy new look for this year, and people everywhere are into Mosaics!

The Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder was used for the background, on Strawberry Slush cardstock (also new!)  I stamped the images in Chocolate Chip and  Strawberry Slush, and punched them out with the new Mosaic Punch! So easy! The base cardstock is Sahara Sand.

I also punched a window through the front of the card, and place a strip of the Mosaic window sheet that is included in the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Paper over top. 

Don't you just love mosaics?

P.S. If you want to get a 15% discount, you can get the Mosaic Madness Bundle (includes the Modern Mosaic stamp set and Mosaic Punch)

Fathers Day card

Hi Stampers! Here's a maculine card I made for Father's Day, coming up this weekend!

This card uses the stamp set Serene Silhouettes . 

For cardstock colors, I used Tangerine Tango, Early Espresso, and the new Baked Brown Sugar! (Love that color!), as well as some Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

I embossed the Baked Brown Sugar with the Chevron Embossing Folder, and sponged around all the edges with Early Espresso. 

The tree is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar ink, then thumped overtop with markers in Early Espresso and Tangerine Tango. Then I sprtized the Very Vanilla cardstock with my Stampin' Spritzer (mixed 4 drops of Early Espresso ink refill and rubbing alcohol in it.) 

I hope you like this Father's Day card!

Baby Pinwheels

Well, I was in a mood to create something cutesy! I am running low on baby cards in my Card Box, so it was time to come up with a few. 

I used the new Pinwheel Sizzlet to cut these out really quickly. The colors are Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Old Olive. 

I find it easiest when using the Pinwheel Sizzlet to NOT use the little holes that are there. I just use Snail Adhesive to glue every second corner into the centre, overlapping them as I go. Then, make a hole using the Paper Piercer and Foam Pad, and put a brad through the centre.

Here are the other Stampin' Up products used:

Tea Lace Paper Doilies

Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set (retiring)

Versamark ink

Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Heat and Stick Powder

Mini Silver Brads

Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack

2 1/2" circle punch

3" circle die

Hope you like my Baby card today!

Happy Stamping!

A Round Array

Hello Stampers! This card was made using the new A Round Array Stamp set, and the 7/8" scallop circle punch. So cute!

The colors I used are Pool Party (one of my faves!), and Crumb Cake. The embossing on the bottom layer is the Vines Embossing Folder, and the pretty brad in the middle is the new Designer Build A Brad. 

Here's the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Inspired

Here is a pretty one-layer card set that we created at Stamp Club recently, and I wanted to share them with you.

The colors used are Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry, so pretty together. We used the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, and some cardstock as a mask for the sponging.

We made the holder using the Diagonal Scoring Plate and the Simply Scored Tool, Pool Party cardstock cut into 8 1/2 X 8 1/2, and the Sale-A-Bration Designer paper from this year. 

Here, we made a mask using a scrap piece of cardstock and the 2 1/2" circle punch, covered our Confetti White cardstock base with it, and stamped and sponged inside the circle. 

We did the same type of masking here, but used an "L" shaped piece of cardstock to protect the embossed edge.

These pretty little butterflies were inked and stamped using the Rock and Roll technique. I used the Tulip Frame embossing folder to emboss the envelopes before stamping them.

Hope you like these cards with a taste of Spring!
Happy Stamping!
