I haven't posted in forever! I needed to get back online, so I found inspiration in Fab Friday's color challenge and my new stamp set, Share What You Love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base is Bermuda Bay, and I stamped the flower centers in that color too. The sentiment and flower image is Basic Gray. I colored the pearls with my dark Smoky Slate blend marker. Lemon Lime Twist pops in the background and ribbon. For the background, I inked up the stamp and spritzed it with water before stamping.</div>

Here's the banner I made Krissy for her birthday using the June Paper Pumpkin kit. I love that you can personalize the banner! After she opened the card, I learned a great tip I'll share with you. Make sure the washi tape goes all the way across each piece so the confetti doesn't come out!</div>

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week. I just got Artfully Asian, and I love the sentiments in it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the idea to stamp the flower over the bamboo from one of the samples in the catalog. I got the color combination from the Serene Scenery paper stack. The card base is Crumb Cake, and the DSP is Old Olive. I cut it to 5 1/4 X 3 and then tore the edge. The focal image is on 3 X 4 Whisper White. The bamboo is stamped in Old Olive, and the flower is stamped in Crushed Curry. The sentiment and friendship symbol are stamped in black Memento.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy stamping!</div>

Here's my latest take on a flag card. The card base is thicker Whisper White. The stripes are cut out using the Big Shot and the Swirly Scribbles thinlits in Real Red. The stars are punched out of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper, and they're on a Night of Navy background stamped from Work of Art.</div>

One of my favorite things about the Paper Pumpkin kits is that there are lots of leftovers! In the March kit, the cards used outlines of shapes, and all of the innards were left. I used masking tape to gently peel these stickers off the backing still in their original shapes. They're adhered to specialty DSP from Saleabration. That awesome glitter tape attaches the DSP to the card bases. The sentiments are also ftom the March kit. Happy stamping!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Earlier this week, I saw this faux wax seal technique on Shelli Gardner's blog, and I knew I had to try it! You can find her excellent instructions<a href="http://soshelli.com/so-shelli-blog/2016/6/16/faux-wax-seal.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. I also wanted to use the gorgeous new Serene Scenery DSP stack. This stack has photorealistic images on one side of the paper and more typical DSP images on the other. So versatile! Once I saw this paper, I knew I wanted to use the starfish from Picture Perfect for the wax seal. That image is bigger than I remembered which made the technique a little trickier. When I first stamped, only part of the area was still soft enough so I got a partial image. I ended up reheating and restamping a couple more times. I love how it turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the paper and faux wax seal are so pretty, I kept the rest of the card pretty simple. The card base is Pool Party. I stamped around the edge with a splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and Versamark ink. Then I poured on the copper embossing powder and heated it. The DSP was cut in half, and I trimmed 3/4 off the top. The sentiment from Picture Perfect is stamped in Soft Suede. I used mini glue dots to adhere the faux wax seal to the card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy stamping!</div>

This card features new DSP, a new stamp set and a great technique! The card base is Watermelon Wonder with the new Affectionately Yours DSP. To recreate this look, cut a 4 X 4 square of DSP and then cut it on the diagonal. That means you can get 9 cards from one sheet of DSP!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the flower from Crazy About You in Mint Macaron then punched it with the flower medallion punch. The bee and sentiment are from the host set Pun Intended. I HAD to get that set because my husband loves puns! After I stamped the bee in Memento black ink, I watercolored the stripes with Daffodil Delight ink and clear Wink of Stella. Yes, that's right, you can watercolor with Wink of Stella! It gives an awesome shimmery look! Once you're done with the color, just wipe the brush until it is clear (just like with the aquapainter). Then I added clear Wink of Stella to the wings too.</div>

The Perfectly Wrapped project kit is awesome! It has 4 each of 4 different gift packages, 16 total! There are 2 gift bags (one cellophane and one paper) and 2 gift boxes. Everything but stamps and ink are included, and there are even some extra pieces left over! I used stamps I had on hand instead of buying the set made for the kit. Attendees at my workshop tomorrow night will be making one of these.</div>

I am so happy that Lovely as a Tree didn't retire! I hope it NEVER does! It's one of my go-to stamp sets for both masculine and sympathy cards. Unfortunately, I needed a sympathy card recently, and I had just made this card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card colors are Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and gold. On the card base, I stamped a couple of stamps from Timeless Textures then flicked on some spatters using gold Wink of Stella as well as an aquapainter dipped in Chocolate Chip ink. I stamped the oak tree in VersaMark, embossed it with gold embossing powder then sponged it lightly with Chocolate Chip ink to soften the gold color a bit. I distressed both the focal image and the mat with my bone folder then added a piece of retired crochet trim.</div>

I just love this new set from the Occasions catalog! In fact, the whole suite is fantastic! The cardbase here is Delightful Dijon. On top of that is a Crumb Cake layer. I stamped the Big Dipper in Delightful Dijon then ran it through the Big Shot with the World Traveler embossing folder. Next I stamped the globe onto a piece of the Going Places DSP. This was something we did a lot at OnStage, and I love the look! I punched it with the 2" circle punch, and I backed it with a black circle. I added a 3/4" strip of a different DSP from the stack. The final element is the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamped on 1/2" very vanilla. I used the petite pennant pubch on each end. Happy stamping!</div>

I am in love with the butterfly thinlits! I will say they take a little more work than some of the other thinlits. I ran this through 4 or 5 times, and I used waxed paper as well. I read that using 4 dryer sheets helps too. I'll try that next time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sponged the outer edges and center with a little ink. I love the look! This is a super quick card!</div>

At my March workshop, we made a pop up diorama card. This is a fun 3D card that folds flat for mailing. It's super easy to make with a few score lines and some punches. You can find the tutorial <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/popupdioramacard/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

This is the other card from my January workshop. I really wanted to highlight the Adventure Bound paper stack because it is hard to see the patterns in the catalog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cardbase is Smoky Slate. We stamped the splatter from Gorgeous Grunge in Smoky Slate ink then added the DSP. The sentiment is from the December Paper Pumpkin. The anchor from the Open Sea was stamped onto white cardstock, and then we stamped the small swoosh from Work of Art over it. The colors we used are Smoky Slate and Island Indigo (stamped off once).</div>

This card was from my January workshop, and it features some new products. The cardbase is Crumb Cake, and we stamped the flower from Petal Potpourri all over the card with Crumb Cake ink. Then we stamped the flower onto white cardstock using Memento ink and colored it with Blendabilities. We punched out the flower using the coordinating flower medallion punch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The paper strip with the leaves is from the Irresistably Yours DSP pack, which is a Saleabration free item. I love it because you can make your own DSP in any color! The paper looks all white, and the pattern is clear embossed. You just sponge on any color you like! Here we used Wild Wasabi.</div>

The January Paper Pumpkin kit makes adorable little treat bags for Valentine's Day, but I wanted to make some cards with the kit. I decided to go with a quilt kind of look by cutting the paper strips into squares.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This would be really easy to do with any DSP, not just what was in this kit. The card base is Pink Pirouette, and I layered Real Red on top of it. The squares are 1 1/2 inches each.</div>

I needed a tailored wedding card, not something I've had to create before! Thankfully, I have the Big News set, which has a great variety of sentiments. I chose Night of Navy for the card base and sentiment layer. I used Gold Soiree DSP; it has gold on one side of every sheet! I stamped the sentiment with gold ink and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used the Labels framelits for the sentiment and layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe I forgot to post this card that we made at my October workshop! The cardbase and ribbon are Lost Lagoon. We stamped the circle image from Serene Silhouettes in Lost Lagoon onto Soft Sky and punched it out. The scallop circle is from All is Calm DSP. We punched Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper with the confetti stars border punch and adhered it to Soft Sky cardstock. The stars were glued onto the card as well. We each added a custom sentiment using the alphabet rotary stamp.</div>

I needed a birthday card for a male co-worker, and masculine cards are tricky! I found the striped DSP in the All Abloom paper stack and adhered it to a Soft Sky card base. I stamped the sentiment from Big News in Island Indigo onto Whisper White. I added the candle as an exclamation point and colored in the flame with Daffodil Delight. The mat is Basic Black. I stamped the Woohoo pennant in Island Indigo onto Soft Sky and cut it out by hand. The sentiment inside the card says Enjoy the fuss!</div>

Mama's favorite color is teal, so Island Indigo is perfect for making her birthday card. The DSP is from the All Abloom paper stack. The sentiment is from Amazing Birthday and cut out with the pennants framelits. I added Dazzling Details to all of the flower centers to add a little bling to the card.</div>

This baby card is for a friend who is having a girl. I started with the All Abloom DSP stack. I adhered it to a Pink Pirouette card base. The flower from Flower Shop is stamped with Mossy Meadow and colored with Daffodil Delight Blendabilities. The flower center is from the retired set Ciao Baby and is stamped with Mossy Meadow onto Pistachio Pudding. I cut it out with the smallest circle framelit. White ribbon and a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes complete the card.</div>

Here's my first Christmas card of the year! Believe it or not, I made it using the October paper pumpkin kit, Sweet as Pie. I cut up one of the pie boxes to make the tree. I cut off 1/2" from the bottom to make it fit on the card. The box already had the dots on it, so I just added some glimmer paper stars punched with the Confetti Stars punch. The star is stamped with the Bright and Beautiful stamp set and cut out with the Stars framelits. The sentiment is also from Bright and Beautiful. I punched it with the banner punch and trimmed down the sides. The cardbase is Crumb Cake with an Old Olive layer embossed with the dots embossing folder.</div>
