Simply Succulents – Makeover Monday

Apr 28, 2021 | Gallery, Thank You, Thinking of You | 0 comments

Welcome to Makeover Monday (a couple of days late!)

 

Thank you card created with Stampin' Up's Simple Succulents stamp set for Makeover Monday. #Stampin' Gala, #Julie Gilson, Stampin' Blends Markers, #Handmade cards

Today’s card is a “stepped up” version of Sunday’s Simple Sunday card.

To step it up, I added several elements.  Immediately, you will notice the sentiment that I placed on a die cut in the center of the card.  I also added a few extra succulents as well as some stamping in the background.  The stamp I used for the background is the “speckled” stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.  I used Sahara Sand ink and stamped off first.  

One other addition to this card is a piece of Sahara Sand DSP in the background.  It can be found in the Neutrals 6 X 6 DSP pack.  It will be retiring in just a few days.

This week, I am sharing a new Hostess Only item.  It is the beautiful Designer Series Paper, Pattern Party.  It is a large pack of 24 sheets with awesome designs.  One side is very colorful and the back has black and white patterns.  I am sure it is going to be a big hit.

I stamped the image with VersaMark and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.  In the new Annual Catalog, the embossing powders are only sold in groups of three.

The Art Gallery Suite was my focus for my Facebook Live presentation on Wednesday evening.  If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay here!!  

Every Wednesday evening at 7:00 ET, I create three new projects for my viewers on my Facebook Group Page, Stampin’ Gala Stampers Group. 

All of the projects were created with Poppy Parade card stock, Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper, Golden Garden Specialty DSP and were heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

Look What I Created with the Seaside Notions Stamp Set

Seaside Notions is especially pretty when heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

This stamp set offers many images that are open line images that are perfect for heat embossing and coloring.  I used Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend Markers to color the images.

I also love the look of heat embossing directly on Gold Foil Sheets.

The theme is carried over to the inside of the card.  I left the sentiment off so that the card is suitable for many occasions.

I have a FREE PDF TUTORIAL for this card included in yesterday’s Weekly Newsletter.  If you missed it, I have included a link to my newsletter below.

Good Morning Magnolia – Makeover Monday

Mar 22, 2021 | Feminine, Gallery, Makeover Monday, Thinking of You | 1 comment

Welcome to Makeover Monday!!

Greeting card created with the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set for Makeover Monday. #Stampin' Up, #Stampin' Gala, #Handmade Cards, #Heat Embossing, #Alcohol Markers

Today’s Makeover Monday card has just a few differences than yesterday’s Simple Sunday card.  

To start with, I stamped and die cut the image on a piece of Basic White that measures 2-3/4 X 3-1/2.   After coloring the image, I adhered it with Dimensionals, on a piece of Basic White that was embossed with the Subtle EF.

I added extra sentiment die cuts in Seaside Spray.  

Finally, the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder is added for the background.
