THANK YOU FOR BLOGGING BY-- IT'S APPRECIATED!! HOPE YOU HAD A FUN HALLOWEEN IF YOU CELEBRATED THIS WEEKEND : ) LORI
I will be the first to admit that I do not color my stamped images very well at all. BUT, I'm a lot better than I used to be (or maybe because my Stampin Blends are very forgiving) lol
Seriously though, I really do LOVE to color now because of the Stampin Blends!! They are great because there are no marker lines that show & even someone like myself who is not talented in that area, can really feel artistic with the blends doing all the work : )
The card base is Misty Moonlight and Just Jade and Whisper White card stock was used as well. The Greenery Embossing Folder was used on the green pc. as you can see. Vellum was used for the jar & the blue twine comes from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. (I peeled away the silver thread that was in the bakers twine & just left the Misty Moonlight behind).
As always, please don't be afraid to ask questions or leave a comment if you so desire. I appreciate you blogging by........STAMP HAPPY ONE & ALL !! LORI
**************************************************************
I stamped the 5-flower image, added the centers to the flowers, the leaves, and a few tiny flowers as well. Very simple to do of course!! The Classic Label Punch was used for the sentiment. (the underneath Rich Razzleberry pc. was cut in half and extended).
I do appreciate your blog visit today!! If you have any questions and/or comments, I would love to hear from you.......thanks much!! LORI

Hi Stampers!! This is a super easy card layout that features designer series paper by StampinUP!! I used the 6 x 6 pack that's called Flowers For Every Season, but of course you could substitute with any other paper that you have on hand : ) There are 2 separate layers of DSP and cut to fit nicely together. I used thick Whisper White card stock for the base and Night of Navy ink.
The sentiment comes from the Celebrate Sunflowers set. If you look at this stamp set on pg. 13 in the Annual Catalog, you will see "Thanks a bunch" is one long stamped image. (that is not the case with my set however). When I first got this set, I cut the "bunch" away and made 2 separate pcs. This is my personal preference of course & sometimes I like to do that to my stamps. I can always but the 2 pcs. back together on the block if I want a long sentiment but my way just gives me a choice : )
I hope you like my simple creation today and now, GO STAMP SOMETHING!! Personally, I'm heading downstairs to my craft room to do just that myself (smile).
Thank you for blogging by......LORI

Thanks for blogging by today! LORI
************************************************************************
The Color Combo for todays' card includes: White, Misty Moonlight & Bumblebee
I used Stampin' Blends to color the flower image from the Jar of Flowers set. The blue bow is the In Color Ribbon (misty moonlight). The sentiment comes from the set called Massive Thanks (pg. 78 in the Annual Catalog). Both the white and blue pcs. of card stock layers were punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch. (I simply cut the misty moonlight pc. in half & extended it further than the white punched pc. of card stock). The blue dotted strip of DSP comes from the Flowers for Every Season 6 x 6 paper pack.
If you have any questions beyond my explanation of things, please let me know. I really appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog. Please come back very soon!! Thanks- LORI

My card base is Pacific Point and then I used a layer of white card stock as well. The shimmer and shine you see in color comes from the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (Annual Catty-pg. 153)
I used a circle punch to cut the bottoms of the 4 strips of Glimmer Paper. The Small Bloom Punch was used to cut all 4 of the flowers. (Card Stock Colors used for that include: Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green). Sorry to say I don't remember where the sentiment comes from. Some stamp set in the Annual Catty-- how's that?? LOL
Thanks for blogging by and STAMP HAPPY EVERYONE!! Lori
