Silver Embossed Petal Palette Card

Happy mid-week!  I trust your week is going well.  So far, this has been a week of appointments - no worries, all is good.

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone with more embossing - a lot more!  Here's my card for today:
How do Cherry Cobbler and Basic Gray sound?  I'm thinkin'...somewhat subtle and definitely elegant! I embossed the floral images and sentiment in Silver Embossing Powder using stamps from Petal Palette.  You'll find this set on page 23 of the 2018 Occasions catalogue.
One of my fave things is to see a stamp with two different fonts. Love love love!! The sentiment was die cut using Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Silver Foil layer with one of the Layering Circle dies.

I had thought about adding a bow on this card, but the little bird won out.  He's stamped in Basic Gray and die cut with the Petals & More Thinlits Dies. Both the sentiment & little bird are popped up using dimensionals. The ribbon on the card is from the Shimmer Ribbon Pack, available as a Sale-A-Bration freebie.  Lovely ribbons, in three colours, and only available until March 31.  I should mention, I purchased the stamps & dies in a bundle, saved 10% and was able to get the ribbon free!  Read here to find out how you can get freebies!

Heartfelt Blooms

I had a great weekend - a day trip, perfect weather and a bit of stamping! And speaking of stamping, the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is truly unique.  When you look at the stamp, it looks flat, but  appearances can be deceiving!  Stamp with it, and you'll get an amazing image.

Here's a simple card made with the Heartfelt Blooms stamp.


 I stamped the floral image in Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock, then adhered the Basic Gray layer. Using Watercolour Pencils, Next, I added just a hint of colour to a few flowers and leaves,  The base of the card is Pink Pirouette - it's such a pretty colour!!
I love the font in this sentiment.  It's from the Petal Palette stamp set. I stamped it using Basic Gray ink then punched each end with my Triple Banner Punch and popped it up using dimensionals. 

Here's another view of the floral image.  So lovely!  This stamp set is only available during 
Sale-A-Bration, which ends March 31.  With a $60 order, you can get the Heartfelt Bloom stamp set FREE!  To shop, click here.

Petal Palette & Celebrate You!

Good morning to you on this beautiful sunny day!  When the sun is shining brightly, I find myself with an extra perk of energy!!  How about you?

As I'm feeling spunky today, I decided to write about the projects I made for my 'Tuesdays at Two' weekly Facebook Live video.  I discovered FB live isn't rocket science, although I have one more little hurdle since my video was sideways.  Oops!  I have until next Tuesday to figure that out! 😊



I really like this card - the black & white plus the pop of colour - makes me happy! And, it features 2 Sale-A-Bration products and 2 Occasions products!  For the base of the card, I used a Whisper White Notecard.  At 5" x 3-1/2" and thicker than regular cardstock, this is everything I wanted for a small card, plus the notecards come with envelopes!

The striped layer is the new Petal Passion DSP available in the Occasions catalogue. I'm getting into Stampin' Blends big time, which is what I used to colour the flowers, leaves and sweet little bird, both from the Petal Palette Bundle (Occasions catalogue).  The blends I used are Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.   


I stamped the word 'Let's' from the Amazing You FREE Sale-A-Bration set in Memento Ink using onto Whisper White cardstock, then fussy cut it.  Next, also FREE from Sale-A-Bration I die cut Celebrate, and You, using my Celebrate You Thinlits.


How cute is the bird!!!

Project 2:


These Mini Pizza boxes, a Holiday Favourite are still available!  Woot!  Super cute!
For this project, I once again used my Petal Palette Bundle and Stampin' Blends. This time I used Bermuda Bay and Crumb Cake blends


I've layered Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper on top of Black Black cardstock, and for the next die cut layers I used Island Indigo and Silver Foil paper, both die cut with Layering Circles Framelits.


I love the delicate look of the foliage!

Now to my 3rd project!


I cut Basic Black cardstock 8" x 4", which folds nicely into a 4" x 4" card.  In the Occasions catalogue, you'll find Myths & Magic Glimmer paper.  Sparkly goodness!!  It was a toss-up - use the light green or iridescent (the torquoise wasn't a contender for this card)
With light green as the winner, I die cut it with the Celebate You Thinlits (yours FREE with a $120 order), then using the same thinlits, die cut 'amazing' in Silver Foil paper. As an extra layer of bling, I also die cut the light green glimmer paper using Layering Circles Framelits. The final layer, in Silver Foil paper was die cut using Stitched Shapes Framelits.


It's easy to see why I love the Petal Palette stamp set, and Stampin' Blends.  Lovely and so easy to colour!  The Celebrate You Thinlits are wonderful, and trust me, your cards will be....amazing!
