Artisan Post #1 - Sending Love


This month my assignment for 2024 Artisan Design Team was to create projects using the #sendinglovebudle! There are five of us in our group and we each have our own style which means there are many possibilities with these stamps and dies. I created two cards that are both custom sized to fit my designs.


This first card measures 3 3/4" x 6" and is based on Lemon Lolly. Both pieces of DSP come from the Lighter Than Air pack and the Lemon Lolly twine is from the Baker's Twine Combo Pack. The Sending Love Bundle, the DSP, and the twine are new products found in the Jan-April Mini Catalog.

I used Pebbled Path ink for all of the stamping for this card. I thought it was a nice change of pace from using black. I used Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Lemon-Lime Twist, and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends to color the mailbox. I cut the grass and bushes from Pool Party and Lemon-Lime Twist Cardstocks using the Sending Love Dies.


My colors for all the die cut mini envelopes include Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, and Petal Pink. They are layered on a printed paper from the Lighter Than Air pack of DSP which measures 5 7/8" x  3". Under the DSP is a layer of Flirty Flamingo and everything is adhered to a Thick Basic White card base. The finished size is 6 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Creation Station is Going Fuzzy and or Furry


Happy New Year and may your 2024 be filled with stamps, ink, paper, and love. Being that this is the first Sunday of the month, the Creation Station Design Team is designing to this month's creative fuzzy and/or fury challenge. It's a fun filled theme that is wide open for all kinds of ideas. 
 

I have made a couple cards with a mix of Stampin' Up! products, but mostly feature the cute critters from the Fluffiest Friends Stamp Set and matching Dies.


The big bear image from Fluffiest Friends is my favorite To set the scene for this card  I used pieces of paper from the Lighter Than Air DSP pack. I think the sentiment from the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set is a perfect pairing with the honey loving bear. 


I pulled a birthday greeting from the Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set for this second card. I love the little gifts that each of these furry and fuzzy friends bring to the party.


For both cards I used the Baker's Twine Three Color Pack and the Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots which are both products from the Lighter Than Air Suite Collection. For the balloon strings I deconstructed the blue twine from the Three Color Pack.
