Bright lemonade card using Lemon Zest stamp set - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Lemon Zest - Stamp Review Crew

July 15, 2018

Welcome to the Lemon Zest edition of Stamp Review Crew. If you are traveling in order you've just arrived from Mike's blog.

Sour and OH SO SWEET! Finally got around to playing with this set a little more. I've only used it once before and I'm not sure why. It's amazing, I love the images and sayings in this stamp set!

About this card: I particularly love the background I was able to create with the lemon slice. You can recreate this look so easily.

1. Wet a piece of watercolor paper.
2. Ink the lemon slice from the set in Pineapple Punch ink and stamp onto the watercolor paper repeatedly. Watch the ink bleed and magic begin.
3. You can blend the ink further by adding more water with an aqua painter. Juicy and oh so good!

This card also features an outside and inside greeting. Super fun. I sent this card to my Aunt along with a bunch of lemon drops. A fun summery treat to get in the mail.

Thanks so much for visiting. Next up is the talented Lou.

Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop - July

July 15, 2018

Hello again! Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products.

This month we are left to our own devices. Designer's choice! I've been dying to try out the Little Twinkle stamp set and builder punch - this was the perfect opportunity. Verdict = LOVE

This page is 6x8 and also features the Twinkle, Twinkle Designer Series papers and self adhesive sequins. Full supplies can be found below.

My grandmother turned 88 yesterday. She celebrated with family in southern Utah. I wish we could have been there to help celebrate in person. Happy Birthday Grandma! 88 looks good on you!

I mentioned that I was creating a 6x8 book for her birthday but the book was looking a little lean. I need to up the pages, thus my game. So a holiday gift is likely in order instead.

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the team created for this designers choice challenge. The entire link can be found at the end of this post. Next up is the lovely Cheryl Miller. Thanks for visiting.

Please know I appreciate all of your kind comments. This community is the best.

Friend card using the Southern Serenade stamp set - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Southern Serenade - Color Throwdown CTD501 - Yellow & Gray/Tan

July 14, 2018

I LOVE yellow and gray/tan together. So much so that I just had to throw in this project over at Color Throwdown.

This card uses the Southern Serenade stamp set and some retired favorite accessories: doilies, enamel shapes & Tutti Frutti designer series papers. It's kind of a throwback throwdown! Enjoy. #CTD501

Stitched All Around - Sketch Challenge #TGIFC168

July 13, 2018

It's Friday! Woohoo.

I'm sneaking in a card for this week's TGIF Sketch challenge (#TGIFC168). Who doesn't love a bunch of circles and a horizontal card? These are two of my favorite elements. Ha! Most of my card are horizontal. My card isn't a literal interpretation but you can see similar design elements playing out.

About this card: The stamp set is called Stitched All Around. The set has coordinating thinlets that include fun stitched labels. The silver glitter die cut YOU comes from the large Thank You thinlet. Full supplies are listed out below.

Want to play? Check out the TGIF Challenges Blog to see more inspiration from the design team and for details on how to participate. Thanks for visiting.
