SU Better With You

June 22, 2018

How many of you took notice of the BEAUTIFUL bird on page 169 of the Annual Catalog?
Isn’t it just so calming and peaceful? Perfect image for so many occasions and
for The Paper Papers Challenge # 398– Birds!

I could not wait to get it and try the watercoloring technique that SU explains on that page. I did watercolor it but I am still working on it. Want to see some gorgeous watercoloring painting? Check out my friend, Jodi McKinney’s blog at theLifeInBetween.me. She is a lovely person to follow:)

I will have to channel my inner Jodi and finish it up! Instead of watercoloring, I pulled out my favorite tools- my stampin’ blends! I am not a great shader etc. but I feel like an artist when I use my alcohol markers that perfectly match my SU cardstock, dsp, and inks. No having to buy tons of different shades of other brand markers to find a match with my SU stuff! So glad I never got into that- I would have bought so many markers!!! Instead, I just play with my stampin’ blends knowing that they fit my needs:)

SU Animal Outings with Animal Expedition DSP

June 20, 2018

Did you know you can die cut the sweet images in the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper?

It’s wonderful that you can stamp, color, and die cut images from the stamp set
but can also die cut some beautifully colored images from the DSP!
So, that’s what I did on this card…

I absolutely adore this paper…it is so cute!!!

There are two sheets that you can die cut:)

The Leaf Ribbon was just the perfect accent for the card, don’t you think?

SU Tropical Chic

June 15, 2018

I am in LOVE with the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper!
Tropical leaves in the NEW Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce are
complemented perfectly with Blushing Bride. And classic black and white are added, too!

I used a simple lined pattern that had Blushing Bride, Granny Apple Green
and Shaded Spruce on this card because it was leftover from another project coming
out on Monday…make sure to come back to see the video!

I wanted to make a birthday card so I used sentiments from Beautiful Day and Dragonfly Dreams
on this card. I die cut some neat leaves to surround the sentiment.
A little fun for the inside, too…

The stamp images are awesome and the framelits are great!!! Take a look…

See you on Monday with a Fun Fold using this bundle!

SU Springtime Impressions with Stitched All Around

June 13, 2018

I am still recovering from an action-packed weekend with my super, awesome, and most beloved stampers in Pittsburgh at our Catalog Kick Off Party. I wonder if they have recovered? I make those chickadees work hard at class… 6 cards using great new bundles and techniques. I try to make every moment count when we are together so they did get to play with everything especially the Stamparatus this past weekend!!!

I have a simple card for you today using the SU Springtime Impressions Thinlits and
the Stitched All Around Bundle. This sentiment is versatile and could be used for a wedding, graduation, or even a birthday card, don’t you think?

Die cutting the Copper Foil Sheets instantly glams up a simple card,
and copper embossing finishes it off!

Here’s an alternative design using Very Vanilla cardstock with the copper embossing
standing out on the tone on tone background.
