Earlier this week I hosted an online workshop and used the retiring Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack to create some projects. While I had the supplies out I created this card. The Come Sail Away Memories & More card pack is perfect for creating a monochromatic card.

To create this card I cut out the sailboat image and the anchor image piece using the Rectangle Stitched dies. The sailboat card was layered onto a piece of Night of Navy card stock and popped up onto Dimensionals. Behind the sailboat is a 3"x4" lighthouse card that was cut into two pieces to extend the card to make it look like a longer piece. The sailboat card covers the gap. The Balmy Blue strip of card stock measures 3.875"x4.25" and the bottom was trimmed with one of the larger Rectangle Stitched dies. The card base is a 4.25"x8.5" piece of Seaside Spray card stock. One of the Sail Away Trinkets and a sentiment stick from the Memories & More card pack finishes off the card.

The Peaceful Poppies Elements are retiring at the beginning of June. They are pre-cut elements that you can colour or leave as they are! There are multiple sheets in the pack. Some black embossed pieces such as the scalloped piece I used as a trim in my card, poppies & leaves embossed onto Vellum and also onto water colour paper. For this card I used an Aqua Painter with Rich Razzleberry and Poppy Parade inks to water colour wash one of the pieces. Then after it was dried I placed one of the vellum poppies on top. To finish off the flower I added a pearl to the center. If you would like to order the Peaceful Poppies Elements I recommend ordering them soon as they might sell out fast.

The Dashing Deer stamp set and matching dies were perfect for pictures of our little excursion to find some deer in a field nearby my parent's home. And the Best Dressed designer series paper is very versatile for many projects. It was the perfect match for the deer images and pictures of our excursion.

The Ornate Garden suite is an early release of product that will be available in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I stamped the Ornate Style stamp onto Soft Sea Foam card stock using Memento ink. Then coloured in the images using Stampin' Blends. If you look closely at the photo above you will notice that some of the colours did bleed a bit. Coloured card stock is not the best to use with Stampin' Blends - Whisper White or Very Vanilla card stock is the preferred ones to use. When using the Blends on coloured card stock try and use a small amount and not over blend or colour the image. This will limit the amount of bleeding that happens.

My upline's April team meeting was held on Zoom. It was great to see everyone. Lisa had given us a list of products needed for our make and take card. I started with choosing a piece of designer series paper to use. Then went through my card stock to see what colours I wanted to pair with it. Ended up being Shaded Spruce for the card base, Soft Sea Foam for the Label Me Lovely Punch and the strip along the designer series paper, and Old Olive & Garden Green scraps for the Leaf Punch.

Everyone's turned out differently depending on what we chose! Definitely a great way to get together during this weird time of COVID-19.

For the past few weeks Stampin' Up! has given demonstrators a #KeepStamping challenge on the Demonstrator Facebook page. This week we were given a colour challenge.

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends April Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Twisted - use a product in a different way than originally designed or create one project and then change it into another project!
I was stumped at first what I wanted to create! My creativity lately has been very low with our lives being changed by the COVID-19 virus. But last Saturday I helped run an online crop instead of an all-day crop we normally do and it sparked my crafting.
