Card #2 for Margaret's group

Today I head over to Margaret's to stamp with her and the folks at Cyprus, they come to make 2 cards.  Mostly I keep them pretty easy but like to throw in a new technique every so often.  This card has an Ombre background that I made with packing styrofoam.  Don't forget to try different kinds of materials on your cards for the background, you'll be surprised at what you'll get.  I used a cut up basketball one time for a textured look.

New In Color card #2

              I'm back with the next card from the new In Color 2016-2018 showing, here we have:


                                                                   Flirty Flamingo
                                                                                                     

I'm not a pink girl but this color has really grabbed me and I just think it is lovely, This one has some of the new Runched Ribbon on it.  The lower part of the card I stamped color on color for a soft backgound.

Try Stampin' #274

Hello everyone, I believe summer has finally arrived!  We just put our first bailing of hay in the barn.  Fields are in and the garden is coming along.  (after replanting since it got COLD earlier)  Ah well some years planting early works and it just didn't this year.  

Try Stampin' on Tuesday has another great sketch and theme.  I just had to!!!! I want you to know.  The theme color is  yellow and I just love that color of flower but I just had to play with some of the new Stampin' Up In Colors so here is the closest color to yellow, Peekaboo Peach. It is one of 5 new In Colors from Stampin' Up and will be with us for the next two years.  I'll admit that it is a beautiful color so for this theme just think of it as a deep yellow, tee hee :0)

I used all new Stampin' Up products on this card (oh no my daughter-in-law gave me the washi tape I believe it is from a couple years ago)   Did you know that the new catalog went live on June first?         Oh me oh my if you haven't seen the new one yet there is much to see, a variety with something to appeal to a lot of different kinds of stampers, my wish list is long!  If you check back in the next few days I'll have some other of the new in colors used on cards with this stamp set and embossing folder. It is one that I as a demonstrator could purchase early and play with. fun fun, if you don't have a demonstrator and would be interested in any products you could contact me here.  Have a wonderful day and I do hope find time this summer to play with us.

Stamp Set:  Love and Affection
Embossing folder - Floral Affection - it has 2 small folders

Here is our sketch for the next two weeks and as I said above our theme suggestion was; Yellow

Flower Pot card - Margarets group

I love having flowers hanging on my porch and if you come to see me you'll often find me sitting on the porch swing enjoying them and looking to catch the breeze, (no air conditioning).  I've made this card for a stamp camp and a challenge.  Seems many of the challenges lately have been geared to the flower theme.

This card is one of two that my group at the seniors apartment complex will be making, maybe a little bit of a challenge but I think they will love it.  I used the Flower Patch stamps with the dies to match.  All the colors are the new In Color collection for 2016-2017 I am really enjoying making projects with these colors and love how bright and cheery they are.

C4C 339 -- What does it stand for?  A Challenge site called Crazy For Challenges and it is number 339. Now I haven't posted with them 339 times :0)    The theme is Flowers- if you haven't come from their blog you can find them here.  Lots of other beautiful flower cards as samples or just the place to add your card and play along.

CFC 149 -- Entering CAS-ual Fridays  also there theme is also Flowers!  imagine that!!! you'll find theme here. Remember to check out all the samples on this blog also.

I made a pot of flowers - one is never enough!!  :0)    

 Thanks for stopping by, what do you think of my Vision?  I love and read every comment, I know sometimes it is easier and quicker NOT to comment but as a person who is on a design team It really doesn't take very long to leave a quick note and it means so much.  Have a great day
