Rainy Days

 While many places are counting inches of snow, I am watching the rain fall.  While watching the rain, I also made a couple of cute cards.  The umbrella and boots on each card were cut using Sunny Studio Stamps' newly released Rainy Days die set.  For the card with the checkered boots, I typed the sentiment on WORD.  I opened a new document, inserted a text box that would fit on the front of a card, typed the sentiment in just about the right places and printed that out.  After brushing light blue ink in the center of that white cardstock, I added the boots and umbrella along with a few rain drops the same color as the ink.  

For the card with the flowered umbrella, I inked the background of white cardstock and then added raindrops, boots and umbrella.  The sentiment is from a stamp set from Simon Says Stamps.  The paper I used on this particular card is from Stampin' Up is long-retired.  That being said, I think that this particular paper collection is my all-time favorite of paper from Stampin' Up.  

Keep dry and warm!  Have a great week!

Well it has been a while since my last post.  We had a wonderful Christmas and we are enjoying the New Year.  Since my last post, I have been busy with Christmas cards, Valentines, thank you cards and just using new stamp and die sets.  Today I am posting a simple card I created using Stampin' Up's Regency Park Designer Series Paper.  The sentiment is from Sale-a-bration's Beautifully Happy stamp set.  The sentiment was stamped on white cardstock and then cut using one of the dies in the Stampin' Cut & Emboss set, Ornate Frames.  The ribbon does not show well, but it is very pretty Balmy Blue and white ombre.  The ribbon and paper are from the new Mini Catalog and  the Beautifully Happy stamp set is free with a $100 order placed at Stampin' Up.  Have a great week!
