Stampin' Up! True Love DSP

 It is Simple Saturday & here is today's quick card 

that I whipped up last night with some left over pieces laying on my stamping table.

I used the True Love DSP!

And I colored it using our NEW Blending Brushes!

The NEW Blending Brushes can be found in the Spring Mini Catalog on page 70.

#153611- set of 3 6' brushes for $12.00.

 

OH MY GOSH!

Yes- they are just heavenly to color with!

The Blending Brush is full of TONS of soft bristles that are super soft.

But their name fits them perfect!!!
All I can say is WOW!

I am totally impressed with them & can't wait 

to find more time to use them again soon.

 I just used my Bumblebee Ink Pad with the Blending Brush

& rubbed it into the center of the flowers to add a splash of color!

And when I was done I just rinsed out my Blending Brush under my kitchen faucet

& it came completely clean!

I pressed it into a towel to remove any access water & left it laying out over night to dry!

Woo hoo- it is all ready to use again with a different color.

Here are the supplies & the measurements so that you can make this card too!

 

stamp set:  'Vine Design'- words

Light Old Olive Stampin' Blend!

 

I hope you have a SUPER Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Touch of Ink

I love black & white cards.

Here I added splash of Bumblebee to go with it!

This butterfly is from the 'Touch of Ink' stamp set!

This stamp set is a SAB choice that is FREE with a $100 product purchase.

Notice how the butterfly is lighter in the center & darker around the outside edge?

I did the "rock & roll" technique here.

HOW did I DO IT?

1. I stamped the outline image of the butterfly using my Memento ink pad.
2. I inked the inside image of the butterfly into my So Saffron ink pad.
   
3. Then I rolled the edges of this inside butterfly stamp into my Bumblebee ink pad.
4. This gives it a shadowing affect.
5. For some added sparkle you could put some Wink of Stella over the top of it too!
   

  I love this fun fold!

It is a center fold panel card.

This is what it looks like when it is opened up!

 

These words are from the 'Heal Your Heart' stamp set- 

that is a SAB choice & FREE with a $50 product purchase.

I used sympathy words for this card.

But the words could be changed to be for any occasion!

Stampin' Up! Approaching Perfection

Have you noticed these 2 Sale-a-bration products?

They are both possibly hidden treasures that you might have over looked!

 

Wow- I had lots of fun making creating with these!

I used the Paper Blooms DSP & the 'Approaching Perfection' stamp set.

Both of them are Sale-a-bration choices that you can get either (or both)

for FREE with a $50 product order.

 Check out how I stamped into the circles on this DSP,

 using the images from the 'Approaching Perfection' stamp set.

 I made it into a z fold card.

This is my favorite fold, as it is fun & easy to do!

This is what it looks like when it is standing up.

 I stamped these words & another balloon on the inside.

 This is a fun horizontal card.

Here are the measurements & the supplies I used to make this horizontal card.

stamp set:  'Approaching Perfection'

card stock:

• Night of Navy- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2" to make a z fold for card base
  
•  Soft Seafoam- 4 x 5 1/4"
  
• Basic White- 3 3/4 x 5"- for inside of card
  

designer paper:  Paper Blooms DSP- 3 3/4 x 5"- stamp inside the circles on the DSP

ink:  Memento

Stampin' Write Marker:  Basic Black- to draw the middle string on the balloon longer

other:  Denim Ribbon; dimensionals; glue dots; Opal Rounds

And now check out this vertical card!

The "tire mark' stripped DSP is actually the back side of the big circle DSP. 

And they go great together don't they!

I think this card turned out pretty cute too!

 

Which one of these cards do you like better?

The horizontal one or the vertical one? 

Humm.....that is a hard choice for me.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements I used to make this vertical card.
