I’m not even sure “sunshine’y” is a word, but it seems to fit this cheerful card well. Happy Thursday to you and do you remember what Thursdays are all about around here now? …yep, playing along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

Just like when we were kids, pick a row and create a card!! I played along with the far right vertical row. Wood, Yellow, Embellishment, with gray and die cut thrown in just because 🙂

Dimensions:

  • Thick Whisper White card base cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Wood Textures Designer Series Paper cut to 4″ x 5 1/2″
  • Thick Whisper White card stock cut to 3″ x 5 1/2″

Details:

  • Isn’t that scallop darling? The scallop die can be found in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Die Set
  • All the work of the ombre effect on the scallop is done for you with the Color Theory Designer Series Paper. It can’t get any easier than that!
  • I quickly masked off the stems on my stamp from the new Background Bits hostess set to ink up the flowers in Crushed Curry, then just reversed the masking to ink up the stems in Smoky Slate.
  • Ribbon! I am in love with all of the new ribbon choices in the new catalog!! Today I used the 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon in Crushed Curry. It is really shiny like satin and is a beautiful accent for any card!

  • I used the Wood textures Designer Series Paper again to die cut a scallop circle to layer under my focal image. It really ties everything together.
  • The stitched circle, Wink of Stella on the flowers, and those Glitter Enamel Dots are all subtle finishing touches that pack a punch.

  • Isn’t this little flower precious??? I’m going to have to do a whole card featuring just that flower. Yum! I used the masking technique with this stamp too.
  • The vivid pattern I used for the envelope liner is from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper pack. Yes, I used paper from three different paper packs but they all work SO well together!

Doesn’t the Tic Tac Toe Challenge look like F-U-N?? I hope you hop on over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge and play along!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, thank you for stopping by!!

Introducing Daisy Delight Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

Greetings! This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to attend OnStage Local in San Diego. This is an event put on by Stampin’ Up! for its’ demonstrators and provides us the chance to see the NEW CATALOG!! A great day indeed! And not only see it, but hold it, love on it, and take it home! It was a full day! And along with the great day, we get a chance to order new product! I’m excited to share some new products with you!

Introducing Daisy Delight Card Idea - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

Details:

  • First up is the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and coordinating Daisy Punch! It’s a great design as you get to choose the fullness of the daisy. Here I stamped and punched the daisy in Crushed Curry three times to achieve this full look.
  • There are also two-step leaf stamps in the Daisy Delight Stamp Set. I stamped both the outline and the inside detail in Old Olive, stamping off once for the inside stamp so it would be a slightly lighter shade.
  • How about that flower center?!? Stampin’ Up! will be offering some fabulous new embellishments in the new catalog (available for order on June 2nd). I used a Gold Faceted Gem for the center of my daisy…and they are available in three sizes!!
  • Isn’t the sentiment super sweet and pretty? It’s from another new set called Ribbon of Courage…more fabulousness in that set as well, samples coming!
  • Did I use a paint chip on my card today? Nope! I used the upcoming Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack! Both the crackled paint and the paint chip patterns are in the stack and available in Crushed Curry, Dapper Denim, Berry Burst and Old Olive.

  • The new catalog has SO many new ribbons in great textures and colors, I can hardly wait to get my hands on all of them! The one I featured today is the 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon in Crushed Curry. I tied a knot so you would be able to see that although the ribbon looks very thick, it still ties down very nicely, without a lot of bulk.
  • One more bit of fabulousness to mention is the new Glitter Enamel Dots!! Seriously fabulous. They come in four colors again and just like the paper, they gradate in shade from dark to light and they SPARKLE 🙂

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my take on some new product from Stampin’ Up! that will be available to order on June 2nd. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like a catalog (free) please send me an email and I will get one out to you after May 2nd!

Thanks for stopping by!!
