Pears – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0095

Hello there,

Let’s take a solid pear shaped stamp and make some realistic looking pears out of it.  I teamed up the Stampin’ Up! Apple of My Eye stamp set with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to create this effect with some layered color.

I created my pears with spots because I grow pears here and know they come with speckles all over them.  I hope this project inspires you to get inky today.

Enjoy Your Day – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0128

Today’s card makes me want to take a drive in the country.  🙂  The trees from the Stampin’ Up! In the Meadow stamp set made a lovely image in the foreground.  There is a mountain stamp in the stamp set but I wanted the trees to be the main  focal point in this particular scene so I created my own little hills in the background so the trees wouldn’t be overpowered.  This also created a lot of depth in the scene.

Spring Planting – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0127

I’m ready for gardening season.  How about you?

I used the super cute Stampin’ Up! You’re Sublime stamp set and filled the wheel barrel to overflowing with bright punched flowers.  Plunked the wheel barrel down in a fresh plowed garden bed and gave the whole garden a bright sun.

The You’re Sublime set has great cheery images and greetings.

I just returned from a short trip to Oklahoma where I got to participate in a wonderful fund raiser held by Sherri Peters and her Inking for Others Group and over 200 stamping participants.  I love when stamping is used to raise money.  Everyone has a blast and a great charity benefits from it, WIN, WIN!  It’s a great way to get involved.

Along with all the stamping fun, I got to hang out with my buddies, Sherri Peters (middle) and Lorri Heiling (right).  I look like I’m dreaming of my next stamping project.  Not sure what I am looking at, lol.   Don’t you just love when you look goofy in a photo and everyone else looks great.. . . .

Marlin – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0131m

Hello there,

Well this is a bit of a masculine card.  I had some fun with this scene by adding a water spray coming off of the marlin.  Also gave my main image panel the royal treatment by used Elegant Eggplant and Smoky Slate background panels and a lovely silver silk ribbon bow.

There are some really great masculine images in the From Land to Sea Stamp Set.
