Almost two weeks ago if you caught my Facebook live where I created the Shine Pocket Page you might seeing me using the same supplies to create that pocket page as I've used to create today's card. The leftover pieces were perfect to create a quick card!

Supplies
Stamps: Sailing Home, High Tide
Colours: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Whisper White
Accessories: Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Linen Thread, Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

On Thursday I found more photos from 2004 when my husband went fishing with a friend. I had 2 of these pics into a multi photo pocket page spread already but when I discovered the extra photos I knew it would need its own page.

Welcome to August's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This month our theme is Trees and Wood. We have many products in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue that fit with this theme. Did you know that you can search using a single word like "trees" in my online store and it will pop up 39 results! Check out the list here: https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/search/trees?dbwsdemoid=2157916


The Birch background stamp set is a great addition to so many stamp sets! I've paired it with the Waterfront stamp set. For the main image I stamped each image about 2 times. The stamped off image is great to add dimension.

The main image is die cut using the Stitched Nested dies. I used the largest die and to get the stitched frame around the white I used the stitched edge on the white and trimmed it down to allow for the Basic Gray edge!

Supplies
Stamps: Birch Background, Waterfront
Colours: Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock
Accessories: Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon, Stitched Nested dies, Well Written dies, Subtle embossing folder

Thank you for stopping by!

These pictures are from a Great Big Sea concert from December 2004. They released a new CD that year that included the song Shines Right Through Me and I decided to use the tune as inspiration. I used the lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set and the light beam, title & dirt from the High Tide stamp set.

Last month at the team meeting we were able to create this adorable truck! The die cuts out the truck with tabs that you fold but make sure to stamp the front grill, doors and windows on before assembly. I had a hard time deciding whether the truck needed front wheel wells or not. It still looks a little wonky to me but I'm not going to change it.


Supplies
Stamps: Ride With Me
Colours: Cajun Craze, Basic Black
Accessories: Truck Ride die, Watercolour Pencils, Tear & Tape

My Stampin' Up! order with some new products arrived last Wednesday! It was a wonderful surprise to come home to. For my Facebook live last Thursday I used the new Seaside Notions stamp set to create this card. The card base is Thick Whisper White cardstock - perfect for card bases - and a piece from the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. The Seahorse and the shell were both coloured with Stampin' Blends. For both images I used a variety of colours to get the look I wanted. Tip for you when using multiple colours of Blends, after using them make sure to wipe the end on a scrap piece of paper to get rid of any unwanted colour transfer.

Supplies
Stamps: Seaside Notions
Colours: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Pool Party
Accessories: Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper, Tailored Tag Punch, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Dimensionals
