No Coloring Beautiful You!

Hello Everyone!

I have a customer who loves the Beautiful You stamp set but does not like to color.  I was asked to come up with a card that she did not have to color the image.

This is what I came up with.
  Standard size A2 card base of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
 in Sahara Sand.
Blushing Bride cardstock is cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
and the Falling in Love DSP is cut at 3 3/4" x 5"

I used Versamark and then Basic Black ink to stamp my image and then emboss with Clear Stampin' Emboss Power.  I then heat it with my Heat Tool.

Adhered all three layers together for this quick and simple card, with no coloring required!

When my customer saw the card, she told me to add the stamp set and the DSP to her next order. 

You want this stamp set, it is so versatile!

Happy Stamping,
Cindy

Cool Treats Suite

I am in love with the Cool Treats Suite
 in the Occasions Catalog! 

I started with a standard A2 card base
 in Pool Party (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

Watermelon Wonder cardstock was cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Tasty Treats Specialty DSP was cut to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"  

the strip down the side is 7/8" x 3 7/8"

I used the Stitched Framelits Dies for the ovals 
(soon to be back in stock!) 

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and Heat Embossed with white embossing powder onto a strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock 3 1/4" x 1/2"
 and popped up with dimensionals

The cone was cut out using the 
Frozen Treats Framelits Die in Crumb Cake
 along with the cone top to create a shaker card using the Sprinkles Embellishments.

SHAKER CARD TIP:  Add just a small amount of
 Dazzling Diamonds Glitter in with your Sprinkles, this helps keep the Sprinkles from sticking to the sides of the foam strips!

I also used the Tasty Treats Designer Washi Tape under the sentiment.

I have made a lot of cards with this Suite, more to come.....

Happy Stamping,
Cindy

It's also SALE-A BRATION time!

A Snowy Noel


Using the Christmas Pines Stamp Set to make this easy #Christmas card.

Card Base is Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

This Christmas DSP is cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Garden Green cardstock is cut at 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla is cut at 3 1/2" x 1 1/2"

I stamped the Garden Green cardstock 
with Garden Green ink for a tone on tone look pine tree look.

I prepped the Garden Green cardstock with my 
Embossing Buddy prior to stamping the Snowflakes 
with Versamark, using White Embossing Powder over them and heat set with my Heat Tool.

I stamped "Noel" in Real Red ink.
  I then used a Sponge Dauber and some Early Espresso ink to distress the edges.

Adhered the DSP, then the Garden Green Panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and used Dimensionals to pop up the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by &
Happy Stamping,

Cindy

12" x 12" Designer Series Paper = 9 Cards?

Yes, you heard it right, 9 cards!

Cut your 12" x 12" piece of Designer Series paper into 4" squares and then cut them at a diagonal.  I then adhered them to my card base.  Took my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker and went around the edge of the paper.  You could easily make this a super quick and easy card with just a sentiment in the center of the diagonal.

Thanks for stopping by,

Cindy






Happy Stamping!

Welcome!

Before I had a "Gmail" account I logged in under a different email address.  Now I have to sign out of my Gmail account, to log in under my old account, and vice verse every time I want to blog.

I decided to just stay logged into my Gmail account and start a new blog for easy access.  

Discover Stamping will remain up for those seeking ideas.

Thanks to all who visit,
