Today’s challenge combines an airplane flying boy with an “ombre technique.”
Airplane Flyer
My ombre design was created with a stamp from the Waterfront Stamp Set and Night of Navy Ink. I began stamping at the bottom of a piece of Whisper White cardstock, and without re-inking the stamp, I stamped a second and third time. This was repeated three times, and then I cut the layer to size with a Rectangles Stitched Die.
In addition to ombre, I wanted to use the sketch from the Fusion challenge. Here’s a look.
To go along with the sketch, I adhered two rows of Whisper White Flax Ribbon with Tear&Tape.
Next, I stamped my airplane flying boy, from the Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set, in Night of Navy Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. After cutting him with a Stitched Shapes Oval Die, he took his place on top of Dimensionals
Before gluing my ombre striped background to a Night of Navy card base, I stamped the sentiment in Night Of Navy Ink.
“Time for a new adventure!” is from the Well Said Stamp Set.
The envelope is one I had on hand, and I can’t remember stamping the flap, but thought it looked good with this card.

Welcome to the Pals’ July Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects that are “Mixing It Up” – adding texture that will really take your projects up a notch – or two! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I’m so excited to share how I use texture with you, so let’s get started with my framed daisy.
Framed Daisy
This is the daisy from the Daisy Lane stamp set, stamped in Pineapple Punch Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut with the Medium Daisy Punch. I made two punched rounds of petals, placing a Mini-Dimensional between them. A Perennial Essence Floral Center is atop the layered petals. Who can resist touching this fuzzy thing? It’s screaming “texture.”
The stamp set and punch can be purchased in a Bundle for a 10% savings. You can see these in my Product list below.
The daisy’s stem is from the Bouquet Bunch Die Set, cut from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, which I doubled for thickness. The sentiment, “love,” is from the Well Written Die Set, also in Soft Sea Foam, and also doubled for thickness. The layering of these elements gives them a nice look and feel. More texture!
The background is Subtles 6X6″ Designer Series Paper in dotted Soft Sea Foam.
I framed my daisy with Thick Whisper White Cardstock, cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies, and embossed with the Country Floral Embossing Folder. It is raised on Foam Adhesive Strips for extra height, on a Thick Whisper White card base. Texture galore!
Thank you for hopping by today, and I appreciate you shopping at my store!

Today’s project is a trio of daisies and ferns from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set.
Daisies & Ferns
I chose Garden Green Ink for stamping the fern on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. Then, I stamped the daisy, on regular Whisper White cardstock, in three colors: Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, and Crushed Curry.
While stamping the fern and daisies, I had the Fab Friday sketch on my mind.
After fussy cutting the daisies, I shaped them with my fingers, and placed them on Dimensionals atop the vertical section of ferns. The right-hand, scalloped strip was made with a Be Mine Stitched Die and Garden Green Cardstock. The stripe on the left is a piece of Regals 6X6 Designer Series Paper in Garden Green.
The sentiment, “It’s your time to shine,” is also from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set, stamped in Garden Green Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. I used the same Be Mine Stitched Die to make the scalloped edges. Everything was glued on a Thick Whisper White card base, and my card was complete.
Thank you for visiting today! You’ll notice from my picture of the 6X6 DSP in my Product List that the stripe isn’t there. The stripe is from the previous catalog, but you can use a different pattern, and make this card your own. Have a wonderful day!

The Friendly Silhouettes Die set has this fabulous, floral, landscape die. I used Thick Whisper White Cardstock for cutting, which matches the card base.
Silhouette Thanks
Next, I used three Rectangles Stitched Dies to cut the shapes for my composition. The largest rectangle is from the In-Colors 6X6 Designer Paper in Seaside Spray. The medium rectangle is from the same pack of DSP in Purple Posy, and the smallest rectangle is Whisper White Cardstock.
“Thanks” is from the Well Written Die Set, and cut from a piece of Pressed Petals Designer Paper in Rococo Rose. All three colors have a script pattern, which keeps things coordinated. Although, you can’t really see it in “thanks.”
Tying the elements together is a layer of Whisper White Cardstock, embossed with the Subtle Textured Embossing Folder.
Today’s project was inspired by the TGIF colors.
And, CAS(E) this sketch.

Happy Sunday to you! Today’s Paper Player’s project is all about water sports.
This masculine, birthday card has some word play, that I imagine has been used before, but it’s my first time to say “fishing you happy birthday,” so I’m getting a kick out of it! Thank you, Hand-Lettered Prose Dies, for enabling me to write the word “fishing.”
fishing
I cut the letters “f-i-s-h-i-n-g” from Thick Whisper White Cardstock, layering them for thickness.
For the background, I used a piece of Subtles 6X6 Designer Paper in Balmy Blue, framed with Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. The card base is Thick Whisper White, matching the letters, “fishing.”
To complete the sentiment, I used the words “you,” “happy,” and “birthday” from the Well Said Stamp Set. I stamped them in Blueberry Bushel Ink on the same 6X6 DSP, and used the Merry Christmas label die for cutting. Then, I placed them on Mini-Dimensionals for extra height.
All that was missing was fish, which I found in the Nine Lives Stamp Set. I stamped a row in Blueberry Bushel Ink, and colored them with a Stampin’ Blend in Light Balmy Blue.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you are giggling with me. My supplies are listed in my Product List below. I appreciate you shopping at my store.Now off you go to see the other “water sports” projects

For today’s project, I decided to make my first, square card, 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″. And, why not keep it clean & simple?
Circle in a Square
The challenge at Freshly Made Sketches was my inspiration.
After cutting the Thick Whisper White, card base, I cut a 4″ X 4″ square from regular Whisper White cardstock for layering. Before gluing it to the card base, I wrapped a piece of Flax Ribbon around the middle, adhering it with Tear&Tape.
Keeping it simple, I used a Layering Circles Die to cut a circle from the beautiful Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Then, I cut a slightly larger, scalloped circle, from Soft Suede Cardstock to give the circle of DSP a border. This was fastened in the middle of my square, card front, with Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, I used “hello” from the Free As A Bird stamp set, stamped in Soft Suede Ink, and cut with the smallest, Stitched Nested Label Die. I placed it on Dimensionals, and my square, clean & simple, card was complete.
I’ll be making more square cards, and this size is really nice, because it fits in our medium envelopes.
