Sending Sunshine with Sunshine Sayings

Happy Friday!

This summer has zoomed by SO fast!  I can't believe I am already getting geared up for back to school.  I have two middle schoolers that are both in extracurricular activities this year so it's going to be an insane but exciting year!

I managed to squeeze a little bit of stamping time this morning before heading off to another doctor's appointment so I actually have some eye candy for you today!

I used the Delightful Daisy designer paper as my color inspiration for this card.  I started with an Old Olive card base and really wanted the designer paper to shine so I kept the main panel very simple with one piece of Delightful Daisy designer paper piece matted on Whisper White cardstock.

Old Olive

Calypso Coral

Whisper White

I cut the sunshine sentiment using my Big Shot and the Sunshine Wishes thinlit dies and glued them right onto my designer paper.  I stamped the sending & hugs in Old Olive on Whisper White cardstock, used my paper snips to cut them out, and popped them up on dimensionals.
I finished off this simple card by tying some Smoky Slate gingham ribbon around the bottom and popping the entire panel up on dimensionals.

This is not a normal color scheme I would go for but I am digging it!  It's nice to get out of your comfort zone every once in awhile. ;)

You Warm My Marbled Heart

Tuesday night we celebrated my moms birthday.  Doesn't she look AMAZING for 55!!

 My mother's favorite color has always been blue so I knew when I sat down to make her card that I wanted to do varying shades of blue.  I also can't get enough of my Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies which highlights my newest stamp perfectly.

I started out with a Whisper White card base that is the standard 5.5x2.25 and added another Whisper White panel that is 4x5.25 that is popped up on dimensionals.  I used the leaves stamp from the Sheltering Tree stamp set to create the background which was stamped in Night of Navy and Marina Mist.

The heart is my favorite part of this card because I got to use my new Marbled background set!!  I used sponge daubers and dabbed four different ink colors all over the stamp: Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, and Tempting Turquoise and stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock.  I then used my Sweet & Sassy Framelit Dies to cut the center heart.  I wound some Silver Metallic Thread and used some Tear & Tape to place it behind the heart and popped the heart up on dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from Sheltering Tree in Night of Navy which finished off this card nicely.  My mom loved it (I knew she would!) and I have to admit I love it too!  I love using stamps for other things besides their intended purposes! :)
