Spring Corners + New Online Exclusives

Sale-A-Bration is over the this year, but I still have some Bloom Impressions Designer Papers.  Can't let it go to waste---it was sooooo beautiful!  Thanks to Lisa Freeman who posted a great video using this paper.  We're making this card next week in my classes and in my card class at the Anthem Center on Wednesday.  The sentiments are placed on the corner and edges of the cardstock and a die is cut in the opposite corner.  So many possibilities.

Ocean Friends

This past weekend, I got the joy of spending time with my oldest daughter, Kati, and youngest granddaughter, Sammi.  She plays on the NorCal Surf Select team and was at a soccer showcase here in the Vegas area.  It was amazing and fun watching her play. Hoping college coaches will notice her intensity and skill.  Saturday was a beautiful day to be outside.  Sunday was a completely different story---windy-windy-windy!  Mike and I must truly love our granddaughter to endure the wind all day!

That has nothing to do with today's card, just wanted to share my weekend.  Hope yours was better than mine!  Host Code for March is XT9ZZ63K

I've never seen a blue lobster, but have heard they are rare and exist.  I wonder if they stay blue when cooked.  The Ocean Friends Bundle and Friends of the Ocean Designer Paper are two beautiful products (from Debbie Henderson) that I just had to have. It's a fun and bright card to make and give to someone.


Making this card:

  • Card Base: Boho Blue Cardstock 11 x 4-1/4". Score and fold at 5-1/2".
  • Layer 2: Friends Of The Ocean Designer Paper 4 x 2"
  • Layer 3: Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock 4-1/4 x 3". Glue at an angle at the top left. 
  • Layer 4: Basic White Cardstock 4-1/4 x 3". 
    • Stamp the sentiment at the top right with Calypso Coral Ink. 
    • Stamp the coral with Lemon Lime Twist Ink. Some without reinking for a lighter color. 
    • Stamp the waves at the bottom on each side with Boho Blue Ink. Some without reinking for a lighter color. 
    • Lobster: Stamp Outline Lobster on Basic White Cardstock with Blueberry Bushel Ink. Stamp the solid lobster with the same ink color but stamp off first for a lighter color. Cut with the die and adhere to the white layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Stamp the bubbles around the lobster with Blueberry Bushel Ink. Use the inked lines with a Blender Pen to add color. 
    • Glue white layer to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals at the bottom right and at an angle.

Beautiful Bokeh

It's a beautiful Sunday, so why not feature the Beautiful Bokeh Suite with a Beautiful Butterfly.  Our very own Kelly Acheson, A Stamp Above, created this card and even show a YouTube video showing how to make it.  Being a visual learner, it was perfect for me.  Enjoy the rest of your day and have an amazing week.  Oh, and SaleaBration ends on Friday.  Think about joining SU as a "hobby demo" and get those extra goodies. (Sadly, the SAB paper I used is sold out).
