Hello to all….the sun shined yesterday afternoon and that made me happy! We have been having lots of rain this week and it is great to have a break from it. I am so happy that you all enjoyed yesterdays card and I hope that you like the simple changes I made today!
I know I tell you this often, but I get worried that the little changes that I make…will disappoint you – but please know that you do not need to make dramatic modifications to give a new life and feel to a card! You know me…Simple Susan!
It is all about stretching yourself to try something that you do not usually do…and if it works – great…if not, you tried!
There are 3 changes that I made:
- Using the spatter stamp in the stamp set (YES – love it) in Daffodil Delight (I stamped it off once to make it lighter)
- I added the linen thread behind the sentiment
- I added some sequins – now this is something that I rarely do but I like it….just a little touch that adds interest.
Here you can see a good side angle to show you the additions. This is a super fun bundle and one that there are many options and opportunities to have fun!
I can only imagine once the catalog goes live that there are going to be LOTS of fun ideas with this stamp set.
I adhered the sequins with the “green glue”…just put a dab, let it set up a bit and then you are good to go! I do think that it adds a fun and artistic flare!
Below is one more look – fun I think!
Envelopes love makes me happy and today I did the same, using the new Washi Tape across the top and then adding the Dapper Denim embossed with the FUN polka Dot Folder!
Here is your 411 to save for future reference….
I tracked when my catalogs are coming…the Brown Truck should be rolling down Randall Lane on Wednesday and I have already printed up labels for those of you that have ordered from me in the past year…and have no fear – JOY will be arriving to your door.
If you are new to Stampin’ Up! and are not working with a demonstrator…I would love to earn your support. Please email me and provide for me your address and I will see that you receive this special catalog!
Have a fabulous day….and a HUGE Happy Mothers Day to those of you out there!!! Being a MOM is one of the most important roles one could have….and I am super proud to have 3 peeps call me MOM!
I really like both versions. It would be hard to choose my favorite. I agree that small changes can make a difference. I like the splatter and the sequins with the swirly designs. I think this is the first time I remember you using sequins. The twine and sequins add some more fun to the card. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day, Susan.
Good Morning my Friend . . . Happy Mother’s Day to you. I hope you have a great day.
I love both cards. I think your choices of score lines vs. sequins is very good; both would be a lo
🙂
Happy Mother’s Day to you, Susan. I like both cards. This is definitely a case of who the recipient would be as to which card I would make. This is a fun stamp set. I am looking forward to seeing it used again.
Love the splatter….I always forget about that extra fun step! It’s raining here in Jersey but maybe the sun will shine later. Happy Mom’s day to you and my cyber friends….enjoy!
Happy Mother`s Day !
I really think I like the second card the best . I love the spatter in the background and a couple of shiny sequins add some pop !
I think those new dies are going to be fun ! Just think of all the things you can do with those swirly ones !Love the colors you used !
Happy Mother’s Day, Susan! Have an awesome day!!
I am never disappointed with your cards and today is no exception! You get my wheels turning with the extras you come up with. I appreciate the brain exercise; t makes me think outside the box on my own creations. ?
It is too nice to sit on the fence deciding about which card I like. I will vote for yesterday’s. How did I miss the scoring yesterday on the card? Sounds sort of goofy, but like the placement of the swirls on the card yesterday better. For some reason I don’t like the grungy spots being yellow – maybe the denim stamped off would be better for me. I guess my goofy brain is thinking of wayward egg yolk droplets. Not sure I am liking the thread swirls either. For once the sequins don’t bother me and I am really not a sequin type of person. But, who knows this card might be the best up close and personal. What can I say, blame it on the eye surgeries making me so critical!
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.
