Successful Stamping and a Surprise Gift

Well, after yesterday's stamping bungle, I have to say I'm very happy with how today's turned out.  It is just a much better day!  Hurray!

Just a little reminder as the Catalog Year is getting close to ending, if you love any of the 2015-2017 In Colors (shown below) I recommend getting them now.  They have a tendency to start flying off the shelves as soon as people realize the time is near.

I'm personally going to miss Watermelon Wonder.  I just think it is so pretty!

So, today's cards are made with Watermelon Wonder cardstock and ink.  On one card I used Whisper White for the base color and stamped the Watermelon Wonder full strength.  On the other I stamped on Very Vanilla and stamped off once.

Recipe:

Watermelon Wonder - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Basic Black - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White / Very Vanilla - 5" x 3 3/4"

Ink:
Watermelon Wonder
Pear Pizzazz
Memento Black

Stamps:  Avant Garden (Free SAB set) and Wetlands for the sentiment.

This design could be used for any need.  Birthday, Thank You, Sympathy, whatever you may want.

Serene Wetland Scenes

Have you checked out the Serene Scenes Designer Series Paper Stack yet?  Here is one of the pages.  Perfect sand, surf and sky.  Add a little bit of white ink to the waves to give them some depth and look of whitecaps.  Stamp the little sandpipers or whatever they may be onto the sand with some blowing grasses and you've got an awesome card!

Recipe:

Island Indigo - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Basic Black - 5 1/4" x 4"

DSP - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

I used the Signo White Gel Pen on my card, but since it is retired, I believe you could also use the White Stampin' Chalk Marker.

Thank you for looking in today!  ~ Donna

Wetlands Birthday

I spotted this a while ago and knew it would be the one that would convince me to purchase the Wetlands stamp set.  Sure enough, I ordered it and then I couldn't find where I'd found this, so I'm CASEing from memory here.

Can you believe I waited so long to get this set?  It's the perfect masculine stamp set!

Recipe:
Base - Soft Suede - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Mat - Old Olive - 5 3/8" x 3 7/8"
Shimmery White - 5 1/4" x 3 3/4"

I used post-it notes to make a mask across the bottom and two along the side.  Using my sponge daubers and Old Olive ink, I sponged the ink onto the Very Vanilla as shown below.

Stamp the goose onto the Old Olive and then again onto Very Vanilla.  Sponge the goose with Soft Suede as shown and then fussy cut the body and head out and then attach it to the stamped image.  i wanted the legs to stand out a bit more, so I took my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and drew them in a little darker than the stamp did.

I also added some Clear Wink of Stella along the Old Olive for a little more glimmer.

If you look closely you'll also see that I made score lines 1/8" inch apart down the side and across the bottom with my Stampin' Trimmer scoring blade.

Inside I place a Very Vanilla piece inside and stamped the grasses on with Old Olive.

I'm really pleased with this and how it turned out!  It really does look fabulous in person.  I mailed it today to the recipient and can hardly wait to hear what they think of it!
