What am I Delivering?

You Always Deliver is one of my new favorite stamp sets.  I love the little delivery guy, and the versatility of this set.  Here are two examples:


Let's look in more detail.


I started with a piece of Watercolor Paper and spritzed it with water.  Then I sprinkled on some Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Pigment Sprinkles and watched as it exploded into a sunset.  I had this card in my mind all day and it came to life just like I expected.

I cut a ray of sunshine and glued it to the cut out delivery box.


After experimenting with placement, I stamped the full sentiment on the Whisper White Stitched Rectangle and then stamped just "sunshine" on my ray of light.  This was then added to the card.

My guy was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, cut out and adhered to the card front.

I finished by stamping and coloring the dog and spreading a little "dirt" under the characters.

For my second card I colored the man in Stampin' Blends Night of Navy combo.


Card layers include Crumb Cake, stamped with the little stars from the set, another of See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper, a Night of Navy layer from, cut with the Heirloom Frames dies and embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder, and a White Stitched Rectangle.


The man is popped up on Dimensionals, as is the box (done after I determined placement and stamped the stars in Night of Navy ink).

There are so many ways to deliver a little happiness with You Always Deliver.  Take a look!

Who Needs a Little Sparkle?

I love It Starts With Art!  The images are wonderful for all types of paper crafters but the sentiment "You make everything sparkle" was just right for my daughter's birthday card.


Because she does!

I also love Seaside Spray, one of the 2019-2021 In Colors, so I decided to make a monochrome card.


The card base is Seaside Spray, with a layer of Whisper White.  Then I cut a layer of Seaside Spray from the In Color DSP paper stack.



I stamped the glitter glue bottle several times on the Whisper White strip, using only Seaside Spay ink, then stamped one more and cut it with the coordinating dies.  And check out that sparkle - Wink of Stella brought my little bottle to life.


Some silver-edged ribbon, Silver Glimmer paper and Rhinestones completed my card.

Happy to birthday to my sparkly Aly!

A First Birthday with New Wonders

My little granddaughter, Matilyn, is turning one today.  She is such a love.  Here's a sweet photo that was taken when she visited us a few weeks ago:



And here's the card I created just for her:


New Wonders features these little fairies, and I thought this one would be just perfect for Matilyn.



Look at that sweet face, concentrating on getting the writing just right!   I stamped her in Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White card stock and colored her with Stampin' Blends.  I also added a touch of Wink of Stella to make her little wings sparkle.


Remember the "vintage" Large Numbers dies?  They came in handy for me to use as a stencil for the number "1".  I placed the die on my paper, anchoring it with Washi tape, and used the Seaside Spray Blends to color it in.


Happy first birthday, little Matilyn!
