So Refreshing – My Stamp Studio

I don’t know about you but come March I am ready for spring and summer. I can’t believe here in Wisconsin we had SNOW the first few days of April. Ok, I lied it is Wisconsin where our weather changes by the minute. In December of January we had a 70degree day. Aaah but enough about that, we can’t control the weather, so may as well roll with the changes. Isn’t that a song?

One thing I love to do when its this time of year and I am tired of Winter and the cold, I create cards that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. That is a good warm feeling, Hot Flashes- not a good warm!

Today I am featuring one of my more favorite Stampin’ Up! Stamps and dies. So many times its hard to image what you can actually create with this bundle. So below are some ideas for you.

You can almost feel the cool refreshing lemonade on this card. I used some of our newer colors to create this card. I used my blending brushes to create a ombre look on the white cardstock. I stamped my images using Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green inks. The layout for this card is pretty simple.

Lemon Lolly CS: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″
Azure Afternoon CS: 4″ x 5-1/4″
Basic White CS: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

There is a table of products show below.

This next card I decided to go with a Limeade theme. I used our Subtles Designer Series Paper to really make the Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist stand out. I also colored the ribbon using Stampin’ Up! Blends. I mixed things up by stamping on Soft Seafoam card stock then die cutting the images. it gave the pitcher a little softer look. i like to also add vellum to give the card an additional softness.

Today I pooped on my YouTube channel and did a quick live making this fun fold card. Well it did not turn out as well as I would hav3e liked, but hey sometimes nerves get to us. You will get the gist of the card anyways.
