"Ruby" Hubby's old truck

Today I chose to share with you the Birthday card I made for my husband which I named, "Ruby".  He has a red truck that he calls "Ruby" and even though "she" is getting some age on her, she's still one of his favorite possessions! This card was made with the Classic Old Truck Multi Step Clear Stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps and has become one of my favorite stamp sets. There are 6 colors used to make the truck so it turns out professional looking and the perfect replica of an old classic! I also used Words 4 Celebration Clear Stamp set as it's such a beautiful font. He loved it when I gave it to him at our family Birthday gathering last night so I'm sure it will go in the drawer with some of his others. If you haven't ever used any of Kitchen Sink Multi Clear Stamp sets, you really should because they make phenominal cards and are easy to use, especially when you use a Misti or Stamparatus from Stampin' Up. I get the best results with these devices!

Happy Birthday Friend

Today I tried something new using Words 4 Celebration clear stamps, sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps. The card is simple using the beautiful font from this stamp set. I had never tried this technique before but decided with the new Stamparatus from Stampin' Up, I could probably accomplish it.  I set up my Happy Birthday Friend clear stamps on the plastic grid, then turned my paper corner-wise. After stamping one line, I would move the removable plastic grid down one slot and stamp again, alternating Poppy Parade and Tuxedo Black colors until the front of the card was full of sentiments. It was so easy and quick. Then I added some punched out flowers with black rhinestones and popped them up on dimensionals, mounted it on the new SU Poppy Parade 2018-20 DSP and Basic Black card stock to complete it. I love how it turned out and hope you will, also.

The stamp colors for this card are Tuxedo Black and Poppy Parade from SU along with Poppy Parade 2018-10 DSP, Black Rhinestones from SU and Basic Black Cardstock.

Frog and Daffodils

My card today is a little late being posted but they say, "better late than never"!  Spring Daffodils Multi Step Clear Stamps, sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps, were brought alive in front of a stone wall with Mr. Frog admiring their beauty while keeping an eye out for the Dragonfly darting around in between the Daffodils! He's ever watchful! Pairing this with the beautiful Words 4 Celebration Clear Stamp sentiments is always going to be a winner as I love the font and all of the different sentiments available.  I also used SU's Botanical Gardens die cuts to add some greenery to the card in Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, and Mossy Meadow card stock along with Soft Suede sponged with Early Expresso for the stone wall. It was a fun card to put together and I'm sure one of my friends will enjoy getting it for her Birthday!

Classic Old Blue Truck

Today I have tried a new Multi Step Clear Stamp set that is new to me but not to Kitchen Sink Stamps as I had a special Birthday card to make for my Brother. With the Classic Old Truck Multi Step Clear Stamp Set, I created a replica of an old truck our Dad used to drive when we were kids so I hope he enjoys it. It's one of those BIG Birthdays as you will see when I post the picture of the inside so of course I used my favorite sentiments from Words 4 Celebration Clear Stamps Set and some of the sentiments that comes with the Classic Old Truck Multi Step Clear Stamps Set.  It has some clever sentiments on it that I just love!  I used the designer series paper, "True Gentlemen" from Stampin' Up along with their Night of Navy and  Whisper White card stock.  I also used SU's Night of Navy 3/8 " Corduroy ribbon. So, I hope you will enjoy my design. It was a really fun card to make and even though there are 6 layers of stamping, it was easy and quick. I might add that I'm using the new Stampin' Up Stamparatus which is phenomenal and it makes multi step stamping a whiz! The finished product you get when using Kitchen Sink Multi Step Clear Stamps is so professional looking!  I love them!  Thank you, Maria, for asking me to join your design crew and also to Lynn, who has been a huge help to me every week with my posts!

Daffodil in Black

My post today features the  Spring Daffodils Multi Step Clear Stamps and Words 4 Celebration Clear Stamps, sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps. I stamped the daffodils on SU Whisper White, then followed up with Versamark and embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I swiped my black Momento ink stamp pad across the area and then wiped off the glossy daffodils with a soft cloth leaving the black background. After running them through the oval framelit, I mounted them on SU Crushed Curry and then on SU Garden Impressions DSP. This is the first time I had tried this technique and was very happy with the results.  I hope you will enjoy the card, also.
I'm entering this in the Stamping sensations, July in my Garden.

Recipe for my colors and layers in the order I stamped them:

Color Recipe for the Daffodils:

Layer 4 Crushed Curry SU
Layer 3 Daffodil Delight SU

Layer 2 So Saffron SU

Layer 1 Barely Banana SU

Color Recipe for the Leaves:

Layer 1 Certainly Celery SU

The card stock and ribbon used were from Stamin’ Up:

from SU were used in the design.
