PPP May Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Welcome to the second day of the Pretty Pink Posh May 2018 Product Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Mindy Baxter’s blog you are on the right track.

For my first card, I used the Flourishing Fuchsias stamp set as my main supply. I masked all edges of watercolour paper panel using washi tape, and then stamped fuchsias with black pigment ink. I coloured them with Derwent Inktense colored pencils & water brush. For the sentiment, I used the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set.

For my second card, I used the Hugs Shaker die along with the Flourishing Fuchsias stamp set. I die cut it from white card stock five times, then stacked them up using fine tip glue pen. I watercoloured & die cut flowers (from the Flourishing Fuchsias set) and hummingbirds (from the Hummingbird Thanks set) using Distress markers. To finish it off, I added the Sparkling Clear Jewels.

For my last card, I used the Playful Puppies & the Simple Sayings: Life stamp sets. I randomly stamped puppies onto watercolour paper panel using black pigment ink, coloured them with Distress markers. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Simple Sayings: Life set on black card stock using white embossing powder, then trimmed it down.

There are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PDT on 5/14/2018. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Spellbinders May Large Die of the Month

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Today I have a couple of floral cards to share with you using the Spellbinders May Large Die Kit.
This month’s kit features 3 swirly leaves and 4 flowers, they are so beautiful!!

Here is what I came up with:
For my first card, I created a floral Mother’s day card. I die cut flower from watercolour paper several times, then adhered them onto watercolour paper panel using glue pen. I ink blended on the panel with Festive Berries, Tattered Rose, and Scattered Straw Distress inks. I then freely brushed the inked panel using a wet paint brush. Once the panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape.
For the sentiment, I used the SSS CZ Design Love You Mama Stamp Set.

For my second card, I made a CAS card! I die cut from dark grey panel using one of swirly leaves in the kit, die cut from white card stock using the same leaf die, and then inlaid the white die cut in place. I added red flowers and white enamel dots.

SSS Best Mom

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Today I have a floral Mother’s Day card to share with you using the SSS Best Mom Stamp Set I designed.
It’s a perfect set for the Mother’s day projects but we can use it all year round because we love mum every single second of every single day, right?!! :)

I started by stamping it onto watercolour paper using the Altenew Sand Dunes dye ink – I used MISTI for stamping. I watercoloured the stamped image with Derwent Inktense Colored Pencils, and then fussy cut it out.
I die cut white card stock using the SSS Stitched Whirl Background Die, and then adhered it onto white card base using double-sided tape. I added the watercoloured image on the card front using foam tape, accented the tiny butterfly die cuts (from the SSS Flickering Butterflies Die) and the PPP sparkling clear sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. It’s already the last week of April. Wow, time flies!!

Today I have a watercoloured rose card to share with you using MFT Roses All Over background stamp.I started by stamping roses from the MFT Roses All Over background stamp on watercolour paper using Altenew Sand Dunes dye ink, then trimmed it down using A2 sized rectangle panel die in the SSS Basic Rectangles die set. Next, I coloured the stamped roses with 24 Staedtler Ergo Soft Aquarell Watercolour Pencils. I coloured the edge of each petal with pencil first, and then brushed them using water brush. I die cut three of butterflies from heavy weight white card stock using the MFT Flutter of Butterflies Lace Die-namics – my favourite butterfly die set! I then inked the bottom half of them with Tattered Rose Distress ink.
For the sentiment, I used the MFT Essential Sentiments stamp set.

Simon Says Stamp generously provides a $50 Gift Voucher each week to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!
