Umbrella Blues - Pool Party - Week 43

For the team challenge using Pool Party I decided to use the umbrella, clouds and flower dies from Umbrella Days with the stamps from Unbounded Love. This makes a lovely supportive card for so many life events.

An opening was cut using the large octagon from Memorable Blooms - I'm using that die a lot lately.

Pool Party ink was blended for the background, cloud edges and around the verse.

 Happy crafting everyone,

Three Ways with Stack and Slash

For this stack and slash technique you take 3 different patterned pieces of DSP in a card front size. Mine was 9.5cm by 13.5 cm. You then mix and match the pieces so there are three different patterns on each card.

This card is simply made with one fussy cut flower from Serene Love DSP. This paper can be found in the online store.

There are a lot of part flowers along the edges of the DSP and they make lovely decorations for the inside of cards.

This card ended up with 2 flowers from the Serene Love DSP, and a sentiment from Memorable Blooms.

Stamped images from Memorable Blooms complement the sentiment from the set. Spotlight on Nature dies have a variety of circle dies in different patterns and sizes.

Another decorated card inside.

Sketch #22

I'm following along with the Great American Stampin' Show as they create using the sketches from the catalogue as inspiration. This week it is sketch #22 and as usual, you do not have to follow strictly to the same formula. Use the sketch to get your creativity started.

I’m very time-poor this week (aren’t we all?) so I have relied heavily on patterned paper for inspiration. Currently it is pre-order for the Jan-April mini for demos AND we earn SALE-A-Bration products while we order our new goodies. Just one of many perks of being a demo for Stampin’ Up!

This card shows 2 sides of a paper from a 12” X 12” pack you can earn free from January 7th when you place a $100 order. BLOOM IMPRESSIONS DSP is a pack with lots of bright florals, and butterflies are attracted to flowers, so I used SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES to stamp and colour some larger butterflies, while the green DSP has a smaller version stamped over it. 

The sentiment comes from a new suite, Memorable Blooms.
