Bird Ballad Laser-Cut Cards & Tin and our Monthly Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to my blog today!  I have lots of pretty cards to show you, plus Bonus Days news, and I have a July ordering special, just for you!  Read on my friends!

All of the cards today are quick & easy to make.  

For this card, I adhered Pool Party cardstock to the Bird Ballad Laser Cut Card, then die cut Basic Black cardstock & Bird Ballad DSP using my Layering Circles Dies. 

I lightly sponged the background of the DSP using Flirty Flamingo ink.

The sentiment is from the Free as a Bird set.  It's stamped in Memento Black ink onto Petal Pink cardstock.

I wasn't keen on Crumb Cake cardstock layer at first, but with this piece of Bird Ballad DSP, I think it works!

I added my Tuesday @10am Facebook Live video below so you can find out more about these cards and why Ashton Kutcher is missing a tooth! 😉

Yes!  Bonus Days are here!  Order $60 in products (before tax/shipping) and you'll receive a $6 coupon code to use in August!  There's no limit, thus if you choose $120 in products, a $12 coupon code will be sent to you...and so on!

Beautiful Bouquet - Spring Blog Hop - Stampin' Up!

Welcome friends, to our monthly Blog Hop!  Fittingly, this month, our theme is 'Spring' for our paper projects!

Soon our gardens will be blooming with flowers, which is why I chose to use the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and coordinating Bouquet Bunch Dies.  Flowers & prettiness!  

Would you agree the Basket Weave folder looks so fresh on Whisper White layer? 

I don't think the photo does justice to our oh so pretty Shimmery White cardstock!   

Once I stamped the sentiment, I used our 2 of our Rectangle Stitched Dies to create the frame & sentiment layer.

Our 2017-2019 In Colours will be retiring in a few short months, and I wanted to get the most out of them now.  If you love the colours, and I'm guessing you do, grab them now as the retirement list is out as of today, and all 2017-2019 In Colour products are sure to go quickly!

Speaking of retiring In Colours; I used our Ink Refills - Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst, and Blueberry Bushel (not retiring) , for the leaves & flowers.  I spritzed water on watercolour paper, then a drop or two of ink, and used our Aqua Painter to spread the ink around.  The watered inks overlapped a bit, giving pretty colour variations - love!!  Once dry, I die cut the pieces using the Bouquet Bunch Dies.

A simple Congratulations & one of the die cut flower bunch for the inside, and this pretty card is complete!  What do you think?

Stampin' Up! Amazing Life - Kylie's International Blog Hop Top 10

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by today!  I thank you for your votes, which put me into the Top Ten, and into this International Blog Hop!

My project today is a birthday card, that is quick & easy to make, even for new stampers!

I started with a Flirty Flamingo cardstock base & layer.  I ran the layer through the Big Shot in the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is just lovely!   Before adhering the layer, I added some Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon.

Here's the Country Floral Dynamic TIEF

The stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate, then felt I needed a bit more.  That's when I noticed the sweet little butterflies in one of my fave sets - Needle & Thread.  How cute are they stamped in Flirty Flamingo!!

Did you know you can save 10% by selecting the Amazing Life Bundle? A fun stamp set AND Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies are a must-have for your crafting!!

I die cut the sentiment layer using one of the Layering Circles Dies.  These dies are awesome, and I'll tell you why!  Because it's a circle, you simple can't stamp crooked!  Yup - awesome!

Using my Stitched Shapes Framelit, I die cut the layer in Smoky Slate.  

Once assembled, I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels.  And there you have it - a quick & easy card!

Here's the card so many of you voted on, which I really appreciate.
