Waves of Inspiration and Sea Life Cards Stampin Up

 Inspiration for these cards came from the Paper Pixie blog here.  Sea Horse, star fish and fish are from Seas the Day stamps and dies and Waves die for the large wave.  I love the beautiful paper from Stampin Up - Waves of the Ocean dsp and the Blue Foils Specialty collection.  The slimline card was made from scraps from other "sea" cards I made or tried to make.  

Now I'm off to "Seas the Day".  Tee hee!  Have a wonderful day.

Easter Cards for the Grandkids!

I made these cards and one other from stamps and dies from my stash.  I had planned to make cards from things I had on order but instead needed the cards for a last minute Easter outing that wouldn't allow me to receive my order on time to make the cards.  The one other card I made also from my stash is below.

All the sentiments were from Stampin Up.  The die cut bunnies were from dies I've had for a while and can't remember where they came from.  The embossing folder on the card with the 3 large bunnies is from Stampin Up and long retired.  I used a cover plate die from Concord and 9th, new to me, on the card with the small white bunnies and the tulip card.  Tulips stamp is also retired from Stampin Up.  A lot of my stamping tools, stamps and dies are still packed away from my recent move.  Coming up with these cards is a miracle for me.  And now I know that I don't always need to  buy new!!  What a concept!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Happy Easter!

Seas the Day 5x7 Stampin Up Card

 

This style card is called a column pop up card.  The directions can be found on Linda Heller's blog post here.  I chose to use the Seas the Day bundle from Stampin Up for this 5x7 card.  I always like sea/ocean scene stamps and dies so I buy too many!  The dsp is from the Waves of the Ocean early release collection.  Love the colors in this paper, perfect for ocean scenes.  I love the way it turned out.  It took a little time but it's worth it.

Thanks for visiting today.

Sunflower Digi - Gina K Designs

 

Purchased this digital Pocketful of Sunshine sunflower set from Gina K Designs.  All proceeds go to help Ukraine.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  It's hard to see in the photo but I tried to give the pocket some texture using Gina's technique from her video.  I added some Wink of Stella to the center but even in real life it doesn't show up as much as I'd hoped.  I do still like it though.  

Thanks for visiting today.  Enjoy your day.
