This adorable set in the Stampin' Up! 2019-20 Annual Catalog made my A list! I couldn't wait to color in a cute walrus with my Stampin' Blends. I went up to my paper therapy room with the idea of making one customer thank you card. I finally quit after making five cards with these cute little guys.
On most of my cards, I put a piece of vellum through the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder and inked it up a bit with a dauber and Coastal Cabana ink. Then I adhered with Snail on Smoky Slate cardstock. I think it looks a bit like the darker blue water in New England. What do you think?
I also used a fun new product called Shimmery Crystal Effects. It gives a shimmery wet look to your projects. I don't know if you can see it under the waves in the photo. You can also use this with the new Ice Stampin' Glitter. Such a pretty effect!
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know which one you like best!
p.s. The walrus looks like me on vacation. Can you guess where I am?
Paper Pumpkin turned 6 and celebrated by giving us a free stamp set (the dotted numbers)! In case you don't know about Paper Pumpkin, it's a monthly subscription and costs about $20. It's a surprise every month. The kit always includes a stamp set, ink, and supplies to make whatever project they send. You can skip or cancel at any time before the 10th of each month. It's so much fun getting that cute box in the mail! This one was a birthday kit which contained 8 cards with cute pop up insides. I made a few alternatives by adding product I had on hand. Don't you just love the fun colors? They are: Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, Poppy Parade, Smoky Slate. Paper Pumpkin puts up a video every month showing how to put the kit together.

Here are my cards. The first is a kit card with the "th" added. I used Well Said framelits for the middle along with Stitched Ovals and a strip of Real Red from my stash. The right used the Balloon Bouquet punch, the Story Label punch (limited time only - don't wait to purchase!), and a Layered Oval in Real Red. And I added some strings with white twine from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit.
I love this stamp set! I received it at OnStage in November and I couldn't wait to color in this flower. Don't you just love these sentiments?! Ok, I'm a sentiment girl in case you haven't noticed. I used Butterfly Gala on the first sentiment. I've never been a huge purple fan, but I just love the two newest purples by Stampin' Up!, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. This is Gorgeous Grape. I started out with the rectangles and decided to try an oval. In the end, I chose the rectangles for class. Let me know which one you like better!

Hi Stampers! I am not an animal lover (don't hit me). I think they're beautiful, I'm just not into them like some people are. When I saw this set called Let It Ride at OnStage, I had to have it! The horses are beautiful, but I really fell for the fonts and sentiments on this one.
I started with a base of Balmy Blue, added a panel of Granny Apple Green, and a strip of Wood Textures dsp. The sentiment was stamped on a Stitched circle and a piece of Burlap Ribbon was added. Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think.
