Card: By the Bay Thoughts

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start.  After several days of yard clean-up thanks to our 2023 ice storm, I have been having dreams of beachy, summer days.  Seeing how it is still winter....I decided to create a card with some beachy flair! 

And here is today's project...


Today's card is a fairly simple project, but I love how it turned out.  Sometimes less is more! 

How do you make it?

Start with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  Layer on a piece of By the Bay Designer Series Paper.  For the middle sentiment, layer a one inch piece of DSP with a 2 inch piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  Both of those pieces are given some flair using the Banner Punch.  Adhere some linen twine.  Stamp the "Thinking of You" sentiment in Night of Navy on the large hexagon die-cut from the       die-cut set.  Then adhere the sentiment using mini-dimensionals! Check out some close-ups and different color schemes below....

Card: Rainbow Succulent

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post.  It was touch and go whether today's post would go up, but after the last week some time in the "she shed" was much needed! 

On to today's project...Another Hues of Happiness beauty! 


I have paired a few sets to create today's project and I love how this came out! 

How do you make it? 

Start with a base of Basic White cardstock.  Choose a sheet of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.  I decided to go with the pinks and yellows for this card, but there are so many selections with the Hues of Happiness that it was hard to choose.  Next, die-cut a piece of Basic White with the large die-cut of the Potted Succulents set and glue to the Hues of Happiness piece using a fine-tip glue pen.  Die-cut your choice of two succulents.  Stamp the large succulent flower in Tuxedo Black and color with your Stampin' Blends.  Pop your die-cuts with mini-dimensionals.  Today's sentiment is from the Lovely You stamp set and is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink.  Add a few Glossy Dots in yellow for the finishing touch.  Check out some close-ups below and don't forget the inside!
