Tuesday Tutorial #100 Brushwork Alphabet card

Welcome to another Tuesday Tutorial.

I've had this stamp set for quite awhile, so I decided I needed to put it to use. This is the first of 3 projects that I hope to create with this stamp set and the Brushstrokes stamp set. (Get the tutorial to see what's inside)

Rainbow Paper Pumpkin Card

I am creating with the March Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! 
This is the first card I made. There are 9 cards, 3 each of 3 different designs. I decided to do all of them a little differently than the way they were intended to be put together.
For some of the cards I am using the stamps that came with the set and for others I am using stamps from my regular Stampin' Up! stamp sets.
The cards were intended to be just the black and white design with the yellow YOU and some added Soft Sky accents. You will see over the next several days that my cards went in another direction.

I used the ink pads from the bright set to sponge color on the front of the card. I decided not to use the green from the Brights set, so I used the Wild Wasabi instead because it is brighter.

The "Thinking of" stamps are from the Crazy About You stamp set. That set is a wonderful set with lots of words and so many ways to combine them. It is in the Spring Occasions catalog.

Keep checking back for more March Paper Pumpkin alternate idea cards!

Happy Day,

Flamingo LIngo Card

Are you ready for some pink? Susie and I were stamping together yesterday (if you are in the neighborhood on Tuesdays you can stamp with us too!) and Susie pulled out the Flamingo Lingo stamp set to make a couple of cards. I was looking at a Mojo Monday sketch from several years back and all of a sudden could just see how the Flamingo would look in that sketch. This is the result.

I used Melon Mambo card stock to which I adhered a piece of Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper. The Flamingo is stamped on Whisper White card stock and matted on a piece of Pink Pirouette Card stock. I wrapped a piece of Black Bakers Twine around it and adhered it to the card with Dimensionals.

The banner is also in the Flamingo Lingo stamp set. I stamped it with Jet Black Stazon and die cut it with the matching Bitty Banner framelit. Adhered it to the card with Dimensionals and added 3 Black Candy Dots.

September is almost gone! We have had a day of very much needed rain. I hope it will help quench the fires. Tonight's sunset was VERY red, so I know there is still quite a bit of smoke in the air.

Thanks for checking my blog today.
Have a Blessed Day!

Cricut Card

I enjoy using my Cricut, but don't use it often enough. I cut the card base, accent backgrounds, and bird layers using the Cricut. I think the oval was cut with Spellbinder dies. Love those too. That's the card for the day!

Have a blessed day,
