Ideas for cards can come from just about anywhere.  On of my favorite social media outlet for inspiration is Instagram. There are some awesomely talented people in this world sharing what they create.  Recently, while scrolling through Instagram I saw a wedding menu that was drop dead gorgeous…. The colors were just amazing!!! And it had this large jewel holding the ribbon together….. So awesome!!  Check it out below or  Trever Scott Design on Instagram.   He named this post shades of happiness.  What a perfect name!!!

I just knew I wanted to recreate this beautiful design in a card from.  The stamp set that came to mind was Paisley & Posies.

Paisley & Posies

I love this set! It is always out on my work space just about all the time.  Waiting for me to use it!!  Just in case a card needs a paisley.  Because, life is better where paisleys and posies exist!!!

  • The colors Tranquil Tide and So Saffron for the ink blending. Berry Bliss for the ribbon and sentiment
  • I placed all the stamps in my misty. I also used a few stamps from Eastern Beauty to fill in.
  • Then inking the stamps with versa mark stamped all the images at once.
  • Heat Embossing is so magical. After adding the embossing powder, use a heat tool to melt the powder.
  • The final step is to add ink blended color over the embossed areas

  • The colors for this card is Berry Bliss and So Saffron with Basic Gray ribbon and Silver Embossing
  • The Faceted Gems were the perfect touch of bling.
  • The ink blending added so much to this style of card.  You could even just do one color of ink that would be very pretty

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc03

Posted by on Jun 26, 2017 in annual catalog stamp sets 2017-2018, Build a Bike, Dapper Denim, Happy Birthday Gorgeous | 6 comments

The Tic Tac Toe Challenge is an all new stamping challenge based upon the tic tac toe board.  I chose to make a card that was blue, one layer, and yellow. Now those of you who know me, know that one layer is super hard for me!!!  But, I really wanted to use blue and yellow…

The new build a bike stamp set is amazing!!! I just love all the pieces you put together to make your very own bike. There is even a little puppy to ride on the back or in a basket.

I used my favorite Stampin’ Up! yellow Daffodil Delight and paired it with Dapper Denim. This color combination is just so happy!!!


  • Now you see, I did it!! One layer and cute as can be! It helps to have an awesome stamp set
  • The sentiment is from Happy Birthday Gorgeous
  • The balloons are apart of the Glamper Camper stamp set.
  • The two-step stamping gives you so many different color combinations
