Reason to Smile, Birthday Wishes

TGIF!  We've had a fabulous week and hope you have as well.  I'm back again to share another card made with the Reason to Smile stamp set.  You are not going to want to miss out on this stamp set, you'll only be able to get in July and when you place an order of $50 or more you can purchase the stamp set for only $5 (that's awesome!).  This card uses Marina Mist, Rose Red, and Pretty in Pink colors.  Since this is a two step stamp it's a cinc to color in the followers with coordinating colors.  The ribbon is Marina Mist Polka Dot Scallop Ribbon.  The greeting uses two of the new framelits from the apothecary accents framelit set which are so fun.   The greeting is from one of the fun new hostess sets, Wacky Wishes, which has lots of fun greetings perfect for any any occasions.  We sponged the edge with Pretty in Pink ink after stamping and punching it out. 

I know that one of the samples I've shared will make you need to have this stamp set so please contact me and I can help you get your set before they are gone.

Happy stamping,

Diana

Reason to Smile: Sketch Challenge

Good evening friends!  I know I've been missing lately but we've been getting ready to head out on vacation but don't fear I have lots of new projects to share.  For this weeks Stamping 411 challenge I have a great new preview of a stamp set that will be available next month, Reason to Smile.  The card starts with a cardbase of Pool Party and used a piece of Summer Smooches DSP matted on Whisper White.  The main stamped image used Tangerine Tango and Island Indigo for the outline of the flowers and Daffodil Delight and Pool Party for the inside coloring.  I love the two step stamps since it's so easy to to color in images.  I also stamped the large flower with Old Olive ink on another piece of Whisper White and colored it in with Tangerine Tango and the blender pen before cutting it out with paper snips.

The ribbon is 1/4" Daffodil Delight Stiched Grosgrain ribbon which is new and so fun.  For the greeting I used the new Itty Bitty Banners stamp set with Tangerine Tango and cut the banner out with the new matching Itty Bitty Banner framelits and the Big Shot.  I also sponged around the edges of the banner with Daffodil Delight ink.  Both the large flower and banner were popped up with dimensionals.  This card is not my normal color combinations but I love how bright and summery it is.

While I'm away I'll be sharing the projects from last weeks stamp-a-stack and we make another card with the Reason to Smile stamp set that you'll love so you have to check it out.

Happy stamping!
