Bloom by Bloom; fabulous and fun!

We made these pretty cards at my Flowerbug's Team meeting on Saturday.  

They had a great time making them; they're so striking!  This Bloom by Bloom stamp set is one of those you can create projects without thinking too hard. Flowers can be so easy to use and these are certainly unique! You can choose to get the bundle at 10% off too! It includes a 4 pack of punches!  I love these Bitty Blooms punches!  

Can you tell what colors I used here?  The 2017-19 In Colors of Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig and Berry Burst. 

Did you know these 5 colors will be retiring in about a month!  Yes; they'll be on the Retiring List for sure in April.  So if any of these are among your favorites you will want to stock up on card stock and be sure to have the ink refill.  Lemon Lime Twist; I will miss you!!

Every year I have people who miss out on getting the ink refills or extra card stock for their favorites. They go FAST once the list comes out. Don't wait!  Get them now during Sale-a-Bration so you can get rewards with your purchase!  

Here's a link to these retiring In Colors.  Don't forget to get the markers, some ribbon and the 6 X 6" Designer Paper pack too!

Hello Cupcake & the Stamparatus, with video!

Hello Cupcake was and still is one of my favorite Sale-a-Bration stamp sets.  We're using it at my March Card Clubs along with the Call Me Cupcake framelits.  Unfortunately these framelits are out of stock and unavailable now.  This year's SAB items are selling way beyond their forecasts!!  They've knocked it out of the park with their offerings this time!  

Here's one version of the cards we made. 

I almost didn't post this card and video because the Cupcake Framelits aren't available any longer.  But I'm sure there are some of you who ordered them already. 

I also used a few other products here:

• How Sweet it Is Designer Series paper
• Bitty Blooms punch pack
• Classic Label punch
• Stamparatus

This card is an unique fold too.  Trim off part of your card front so the main image hangs over the edge a bit.  Easy but fun too! Watch the video below to catch all of my tips on making this card. 

Measurements:

• Daffodil Delight 5 1/2" X 6 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  White 4 1/4" X 3" for front, 4" X 3" for inside & scraps for cupcake frosting and greeting
  Coastal Cabana 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
  How Sweet it Is Designer paper 2"X 5 1/4"
  Silver Foil scraps for cake stand
  Window Sheets - 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"

You can see all of the products I used on this card below.

All That You Are, with a punch trick!

 Honestly, I didn't order this stamp set right away.  There were so many others I had to have.  But I kept seeing fantastic cards made with it.  So I ordered it too.  Now I'm glad I did as it's so fun to color! 

On this card I stamped the image in Versamark onto watercolor paper and embossed it with White embossing powder. Clear powder would work as well.  Then I picked up ink from the lid of my ink pads with an aqua-painter and colored it in.  I chose to use Lemon Lime Twist, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody and a hint of Gorgeous Grape.  It's a version of 'no line' watercoloring. 

Did you notice the punched greeting?  The greeting is from this same stamp set but what about the punched shape?  Both are from the new Story Label punch; our current Sale-a-Bration coordinating product available in March only.  The Flirty Flamingo piece is punched as usual, but the White is different.  I stamped the greeting on a 1" strip of White CS and then punched it out for a completely different look! 

Here's a close up of the coloring and the punched greeting. 

Thanks for stopping in today!
