First of all, Happy Mother’s Day, and I hope you receive lots of pretty cards!

Welcome to our May Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, where we’re showing projects highlighting the new, 2022-2024 In Colors. You’ll find the line-up below to see what the other designers created. 

I designed two cards using the five, new, In Colors, with the new, Sending Smiles Bundle.  If you click on the photos in my Product List, it will take you to details about the new products.

Sending Smiles with 2022-2024 In Colors

The birthday card has a background of Tahitian Tide Ink, smoothed on Basic White Cardstock with a Blending Brush. I layered it on Starry Sky 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper, 3 3/4″ X 5″. It just peeks out from the top layer, which is cut 1/8″ smaller, giving it a 1/16″ border. 

Once I had my blue background, I stamped the leaves and stems from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set in Parakeet Party Ink. Then, I stamped one flower in Orchid Oasis, and one in Sweet Sorbet, followed by the centers in Parakeet Party Ink. “Birthday Wishes” was stamped in Starry Sky Ink, cut with a Sending Smiles label die, and attached with Dimensionals.

The small blossoms were cut from Basic White Cardstock with a Sending Die, and glued with tiny dots of Liquid Glue. My art piece was attached, with Dimensionals, to an Orchid Oasis card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and my first card was complete.

The “hugs” card began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock, 4′ X 5 1/4″. Prior to gluing the layer, I gave it texture with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. This happens to be my Host Code gift for the month of May, and you can see how to receive it below.

Next, I stamped the leaves and stems in Parakeet Party Ink, and the flowers in Orchid Oasis, Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet, and Starry Sky. Then, I used Sending Dies for cutting, glued the leaves and stems flat, and attached the flowers with Dimensionals. 

How about the large,”sending?” Now you know how the bundle got its name! I stamped it in Orchid Oasis Ink, used its die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

“Love & big hugs was also stamped in Orchid Oasis, cut with its die, and attached with Dimensionals. This fun set has many phrases that go with “sending.”

My May Host Code Gift

Type the current host code (found beneath my profile picture) in the box provided, on your order of $75.00 or more, before tax and shipping, and I will send you the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder in June. 

“The delicate design of the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder is subtle enough to match any project but it does not hold back on beauty. Leave the embossed look neutral to emphasize its texture, or get creative and use watercolor to accentuate the florals.”
