Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath, and Parakeet Party for #TGIFC432

Happy Friday! Today we have a Blueberry Bushel, Bubble Bath, and Parakeet Party color challenge for #TGIFC432. This was another interesting color challenge for me. At first, I wasn’t quite sure what what I was going to do with it. I flipped through my catalog of stamps and zeroed in on the Bird’s Eye View stamp set. The little birds in the stamp set are so cute! Although they are probably not parakeets, I felt …

Using Vellum with the Inked & Tiled Bundle

Using Vellum with the Inked & Tiled Bundle

Today I am using vellum with the Inked & Tiled bundle from Stampin’ Up! There are two cards and each one utilizes it differently. If you haven’t seen this bundle, it can be found on page 95 of the 2023-2024 annual catalog. It is part of the Inked Botanicals suite, but making it without the coordinating DSP, gives it a completely different look. These cards were made for my Artisan Design Team monthly project and …
