Hello Everyone! I did a quick search, and it doesn't look like I ever shared this card! I made this card as my swap card for the Stampin' Up! Canadian Business Conference last January. The instructions for the swap that I was a part of were to use the stampset in a significant way. And I did! I used the clouds to create my own background, stamped the balloon (and then watercoloured it), and stamped the sentiment. The Tip Top Taupe (beige) colour is no longer available, but Crumb Cake would make a great substitute! tams# 14889 Product List Bermuda...

Hello Everyone! I'm back with another swap card using the Beautiful You stampset, this time from Diane Inkster. I love Diane's colour combination with this card! She used the watercolour pencils to colour in the silhouette, and then stamped the coordinating ink (Bermuda Bay) in the water. Doesn't it look great? Did you know that you can blend the watercolour pencils with the blender pens or the aquapainter? The aquapainter will give it more of a opaque watercolour look, but the blender pen will almost deepen the colour and offer a bit more control. I hope you enjoyed this card!...
Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone! I have another swap card today to share. This one is one that I received at OnStage in Toronto in April and is from Geralyn Skalny. I love that this has such a masculine feel with the Brown & Blue colour combo. Let's face it, sometimes masculine cards can be hard! This card features the Swirly Bird stampset that I am finding can easily change the feel of a card with just a different colour combination! I find a lot of people aren't sure how to use washi, but Geralyn used it to finish off her card by...

Hello Everyone! Welcome back! Today I have another swap card with the Beautiful You stampset. I love that all these ideas are so different and so pretty with the same stampset! This card is from Andrea Stella-Tessarolo. I love the layers that she did. She used the petal embossing folder to create texture, and putting the silhouette on an angle really draws your eye in. I hope you enjoy looking at these as much as I do!

Hello Everyone! Welcome back! Today I have another super quick and easy card that I made using the Beautiful You stampset. This stampset is perfect for getting unique and beautiful cards. Sometimes, when I'm done a card, I realize there are one or two things I would do differently next time. This is one of those cards. I would definitely reduce the card size to fit on our notecards (I actually did do this, and the scale is a ton better!). Even better, our notecards are precut and prescored making this fast card even faster! To make this card, stamp...
