Pierced Blooms Card Set

 Hello & Happy Friday, Friends!

I hope your all doing well.

I took some time off from stamping & blogging and gave my hands a rest.

I sat down yesterday to finish up a set of cards that I started 2 weeks ago. 

I wanted to get them wrapped up and off my table.

I used some pretty Friendly Hello DSP and paired it with the Pierced Blooms Dies.

Card Details:

Stamps: Shaded Summer

Ink: Pale Papaya

Cardstock: Pale Papaya, Basic White, Soft Seafoam, Friendly Hello DSP (SAB 22)

Accessories: Pierced Blooms Dies, In Color Jewels, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

After I finished these up I seen that Stampin Up! posted the retiring list.

I was sad to learn that these Pierced Blooms Dies and it's coordinating In Bloom stamp set were on the retired list. Such a lovely set of stamps & dies but you all know it will not be leaving my stamp room and it will continue to be used.

My sentiment comes from the Shaded Summer stamp set that will be carrying over into the new catalog which starts May 3, 2022.

I have seen the new catalog and it's pretty amazing!

Shaded Summer Thank You

 Hello & Happy Friday!

Yay! We made it to another weekend!

My weekend is going to be really busy and today we have another home improvement project happening here at the Aungst Pad!

Shawn is off today to handle that project.

It's a rainy morning so I will get started on sharing another card using the Shaded Summer stamp set and the Summer Shadows Dies.

This one was made using the opposite piece of Misty Moonlight Pattern Party DSP from the other day's card...

This card shows the flower image diecut with the Summer Shadows Dies and I added my Thank You sentiment on a diecut Stitched Shapes Framelit Die which is now retired. Lastly I added a piece of twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and a couple Rhinestones.

Card Details:

Stamps: Shaded Summer

Ink: Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Pattern Party DSP (Hostess item)

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Summer Shadows Dies (SAB), Stitched Shapes Framelits (retired), Circle Layering Framelits, Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, Rhinestones, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

No matter how you ink up those flower images whether it be with just an ink pad or with the Stampin Write Markers....you cannot go wrong with this stamp set!

It looks great either way!

More Shaded Summer & SAB Dies

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday turned out to be quite the stormy day!

We did not have any flooding but all around us did!

We had tornado and severe thunderstorm watches going most of the afternoon/evening.

By the time we headed to bed most of it was done but it was still thundering off in the distance. Not sure how much rain we got but it was much needed here.

Today I am sharing another card using the Shaded Summer stamp set and coordinating Summer Shadows Dies from the SaleABration catalog.

Card Details:

Stamps: Shaded Summer

Ink: Soft Succulent, Polished Pink & Soft Succulent Stampin Write Markers

Cardstock: Polished Pink, Basic White, Polished Pink DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Summer Shadows Dies (SAB), Tailor Made Tags Dies, Soft Succulent Ribbon, In Color Jewels, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

On this card I did the ink to rubber technique since my stamps are red rubber.

I used my Polished Pink & Soft Succulent Stampin Write Markers and inked each color on my stamp then huffed on it to remoisten it then stamped on my Basic White cardstock. This is one of the first techniques I learned when I got into stamping years ago!

Next I diecut my flower image out with the Summer Shadows Dies.

I only wish we had dies that cut out each individual flower so we could change out the colors. 

The sentiment also comes from the Shaded Summer stamp set and I inked that with Soft Succulent and diecut it with the Tailor Made Tags Dies.

I have quite a few birthdays coming up in the next several months so I have been working to get some made ahead of time while my schedule isn't busy.

Shaded Summer stamp set is available in the Stampin Up! Annual Catalog and the Summer Shadows Dies are available while supplies last in the SaleABration Mini Catalog FREE with a $100 order.

Shaded Summer

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Hope your week is going well so far!

Today we are under a flood watch since the rains from Tropical Storm Fred are coming our way! Hopefully we don't get too much!

I have a card to share today using a stamp set from the Stampin Up! Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer. I have had this set for awhile and today it finally seen ink!

I love monochromatic cards because to me they are simple to make instead of guessing what color goes with another color. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Shaded Summer

Ink: Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Pattern Party DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This stamp set also has a set of dies that are available for FREE with a $100 order during SaleABration! I had to have them! 

I have a card to share tomorrow that uses the dies, so stay tuned for that!
