Make It Monday #208: Ombre Stamping

So that is how you do ombre stamping with out the harsh ink lines! =) Neat technique I need to learn. 

And oh yeah! Who wouldn't want to eat an Ombre Popsicle?

Have a blessed day!

Simon Says Summer

Summer Challenge

Through other boggling ladies I've recently discovered Simon Says Stamp. I have an order coming hopefully soon too =) I thought I would join in my first challenge with them:

"...anything that makes YOU think of summer" they said!

So how about some bright colors!

Too bad we are getting closer to saying 'goodbye summer' =(

Have a great day!

Rainbow Medallions

Since 'rainbow' wasn't working out for me I got carried away with green and yellow!

Warring: you may need some lemonaid after viewing =)

One green and blue too

Hope you are having a great summer day!

Rainbow Medallion

The inks I own did not make a good rainbow (I tried!) So my medallion is made with a few colors and a word stamp. I would have never used this stamp in this way if it wasn't for the inspiring Make it Monday video!

Thanks for the fun idea.

Masking with Die Cuts 

I had no plans to make any more cards this week until (while doing my dishes) I watched this video:

Sprinkle of Salt TechniqueI thought how cool would that background be with a masked out shape! So I had to try it:

Here is the masked out popsicles with a watercolor salt background. I think they are pretty and could have stopped here.

But I thought I'd dress them up a little more. They are now glitter embossed with seed bead sprinkles!

 

A blue sparkly pop with a masked drip and blue staples.

I didn't know if I could pull this technique off. It took a few tries, but I liked this cards end result. I even got the try the 'loops of string' that I've been seeing and wanting to try =)

Thanks for the challenge!

Neon Popsicles!

What says summer more than sparkly neon popsicles?

Firsts

A Day of Firsts

My first Papertrey Ink order came today!

It was my first time using a die with my cutting machine!

It was my first time trying to deboss!

It's the first time I can play along with Make It Monday!

 

Sometimes I feel like I need embellishment lessons =) I am such a minimalist!

Simple yet sweet!

Popsicle Craze

My Aunt so sweetly retired all her crafting supplies to me! Whahooo! One of my favorite stamps was this cute Popsicle so I played:

I also was inspired by a Papertrey Ink video to play with a watercolor background. And found out I really like the watercolor look!

Summer Fun

My newest favorite card!

I am not a good Blogger. But I thought I should try again. I have lots of fun cards and cakepops and this would be a good place to share them =)
