3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!

July 16, 2020

You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet! You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up! It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog!

I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week. I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below

The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder. Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers. Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too. The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit.

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody. The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.

I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.

Save

I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here. The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome.

Next is a simple baby wipe technique.

I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches. The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.

Queen Anne’s Lace cards

September 26, 2020
I was playing with the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set and was in the mood for purple. I combined Gorgeous Grape with Purple Posy to make the card below.

There are just three pieces on this card but it looks like there's more! Sometimes you don't need to add an extra layer for the sentiment. You can stamp it on the main piece below the image usually divided by a ribbon. But this time I added the flower image on an additional layer of Purple Posy for an extra layered look.

This Queen Anne's Lace stamp set is one of two you get free this month when you purchase the Starter Kit. Read about that here! It's such a great deal with over $75 in free product! Pay just $99 and get $200! And FREE Shipping too!

I added a piece of the Brights DSP on the left. That tricolor ribbon sure brings it all together! Tying a knot and securing the ends in the back is easy and with soft ribbon there isn't a thick bump at all.

Measurements:
- Gorgeous Grape main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored in half at 4 1/4"
- Purple Posy 2 3/4" X 3" tall
- Whisper White 4 1/4" X 3"
I also made this additional card on the right using a sketch I found. It's very similar but this time I stamped all on one layer and added a 3/4" strip of Playing with Patterns Designer paper between the main image and the greeting. Easy!

Save

Hopefully these easy cards inspire you to stamp this week. Using two shades of the same color sure makes it easy to choose colors! Think of blues, pinks, greens, etc.
