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.

Save

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.

But remember these Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last. Already they are out of TWO choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. The Rings of Love 12" DSP and the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes. So if you have something from the SAB catalog on your wish list; get it soon!

What an amazing scene Amanda created here! So many details! I especially appreciate that she colored her hippo in Pool Party; who says they have to be gray?

Her background is made with the Rays of Light stamp seen here. The rest is all Sale-a-Bration items. Her colors include Pool Party, White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry

She stamped the greeting from Amazing Phrases and fussy cut it, placing it between 'waves'. She added Wink of Stella to her water. The little splashes of water & the life preserver truly make this scene complete!

One of my favorites was made by Gwen. The way she added ribbon for a 'towel' on the silver/metal tub is genius!!

Kelly created a cute scene mostly with the Hippo dies. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Real Red & Balmy Blue. The little water splash die-cuts add motion to the scene!

Mary, one of my Flowerbug team members, made this cute card for her Card Club this month. She used a blending Brush with Flirty Flamingo ink for a soft background. The lights and bow at the top are from the Tree Lot dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. See them here.

This cute card was made by Amy Storrie. I love the sunglasses! The other neat thing she did was to use the Hippo dies along with the Stitched Circle in the Beautiful Shapes dies so they match up perfectly! Her Designer Paper is the Cottage Gingham in the Holiday catalog.

You can see the Hippest Hippos stamp set here and the Hippo dies here. Get them both free with a $100 online order and you'll also receive my free July cards kit! Offer good through Saturday, July 30th.
