Color Me Happy: Celebrate Card with Stampin' Blends

Did you know there is a secret stamp set? Ok, it's not really a secret, but since it's not featured in a regular catalog, a lot of people don't know about it! It's called Color Me Happy and it was released with the Stampin' Blends collection in the fall. Learn More about Stampin' Blends

I have really loved using the new Stampin' Blends, a line of alcohol markers in Stampin' Up! exclusive colors. They have been so wildly popular that some of the colors are on backorder. Here's a card that I designed for my December Stamp of the Month Club. I just realized that I never posted it!

I really love this stamp set because it has a fun mix of images and sentiments. And even though it was designed with the Stampin' Blends in mind, you can use any medium to color the images, including watercolor pencils, watercoloring with the Aquapainter, and markers.

The Color Me Happy stamp set also coordinates with a "secret" project kit! You'll love these gorgeous cards in this kit! And you can save 10% when you buy the stamp set and kit together!

Lots of Lavender Spring Card

Yesterday I posted a new card layout and two different cards using that layout. I find that card layouts are a great starting point when I feel "stuck" in my stamp room. For today's card, I pulled out a card layout that I used last fall.

2-Fer Friday: Designer Paper Panel Card Layout

I love a good card layout and will use it over and over again. It's amazing how changing the paper, colors, and stamp set completely changes the look of a card design. I designed the True Gentleman card for a swap and then re-used the layout to make this birthday card with my stamp club last month. Isn't the Painted with Love paper gorgeous? It's not just for Valentine's Day!

This is a great layout to show off coordinating designer paper patterns! Here's a masculine version of the card with the handsome True Gentleman designer paper.

Stamp of the Month Club Reveal: Waterfront Beach Thank You Card

When I first saw the Waterfront stamp set in the Occasions Catalog, I knew I would feature it in a Stamp of the Month Club card kit. I'm not the only one who has seen the potential of this "two-step" stamp set. It is already the top-selling stamp set from the Occasions Catalog!! You'll love how easy it is to combine the brushstroke images to create gorgeous scenes! Here is the first design I created for this month's card kit. I think the Seaside Embossing Folder perfectly coordinates with the palm trees and beach images.
