Blended Bloom

I struggled creating a card using this stamp set.  The image does not have leaves and the cards I have seen online are "missing" leaves.  I decided to offset the image, like I did on THIS posting.  After I colored the image I didn't care for the white space and a stamped sentiment made the card 'meh.  I am happy with the final card even though it took an hour to fill in the white space.

Auburn Football Fans

Found this paper for a steal and couldn't pass it up.  I started with a blank canvas, the color very similar to Stampin' Up!'s Brilliant Blue (now retired).  I wanted something cheerful and selected Pumpkin Pie as my "pop" of color.  The beautiful colors of Auburn University in Alabama.

My most popular gift set of cards are ones that the recipient chooses the sentiment.  Included in this four card gift set will be a selection of sentiments.  I use clear mounting stickers on the backs of the sentiments.  Select the sentiment, peel and stick. 

Blendabilities - Who Knew

I don't color well.  I mean, my coloring is ALWAYS lousy.  That is until Stampin' Blendabilities came on the market.  There are so many great YouTube videos that show you how, step, by step.  My FAVORITE how to is not on YouTube; I discovered a handy guide created by Kaitlyn.  Click HERE for the link to that guide.

Kaitlyn also was the inspiration for my bookmarks.
