Balloon Adventure

Who doesn't need a few birthday cards on hand?  I have made a goal for myself to send out more birthday cards then send a wish on social media.  I used BALLOON ADVENTURES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET  because i believe everyone deserves a card!  The colors in this card make it gender neutral which make it prefect for send out that last minute card.  I used BERMUDA BAY CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD and WILD WASABI CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD.  Why does it look like more then those two colors?  The tip is to stamp and then stamp again without re inking, it creates a lighter color.  I love the dimension it adds to any card.  And the punched out balloons with the Ballon Bouquet Punch in silver glimmer paper makes this card shine.

Wetlands

The count down is here.  Only 48 hours left to get the Wetlands stamp.  Don't let it slip away.  This card was quick and easy to create, but looks like it took a lot of time.  The key is to stamp it on WATERCOLOR PAPER and use the AQUA PAINTERS to add a touch of color and let it bleed.  I did use the cap of the aqua painter to run the bristle over to create a fine mist of spatters.   If you are looking for images that can be used to create natural or masculine scenes then this is the set for you!  www.kris.stampinup.net

Sitting Here

Do you have those people in your life that are there for you no matter what?  The ones that see you through the good and the bad of life?  I do.  I love the SITTING HERE PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET because of the sweet little pup and kitten.  So no matter who you like to sit and talk with, send them a card to tell them you are thinking about them.  www.kris.stampinup.net

Wetlands

These little gulls are calling all of us into summer.  They are from the  WETLANDS CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET .  I love that you can see their sweet reflection in the water as they run across the shore.  The SEASIDE TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS is making waves in the background.  Get your supplies with me at www.kris.stampinup.net

FLOWER PATCH

The very first stamp  and framelit set that I ever bought from Stamping' Up! was the FLOWER PATCH PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET and FLOWER FAIR FRAMELITS DIES.  I was sold with the phrase 

BE YOU (TIFUL).  Build a glamorous garden of cards with these products.  The sad news is that they are retiring this year.   If you wait until the end of May you might be wilted with disappointment.  The they are gone they are gone for good.  Grow yours today: www.kris.stampinup.net

Balloon Adventures

Nothing says Birthdays like BALLOONS!  The BALLOON BOUQUET PUNCH and BALLOON ADVENTURES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET are perfect for you to create any color combination to make a unique card for the special people you celebrate.  The Balloon Punch is sticking around and has other stamp sets that it coordinates with, BUT the Balloon Adventures stamp set is retiring.  Doesn't that just take the air out of you?  Well, don't let it.  Get yours today by shopping on my site www.kris.stampinup.net

BALLOON ADVENTURES & CELEBRATIONS DUO

Birthdays are one of my favorite things to celebrate.  I have set a goal to send a birthday card  to my friends rather then just send them a wish over social media.  I have even started a monthly "Birthdays Are Back" class featuring one stamp set to show the versatility of the set making 4 different cards.  This month the set is  BALLOON ADVENTURES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET  and the BALLOON BOUQUET PUNCH.  I added the CELEBRATIONS DUO TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS EMBOSSING FOLDERS to this card to add even more texture. Make your cards too with the product you can find at www.kris.stampinup.net

KINDA ECLECTIC

I love the softness of the SMOKY SLATE CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD and PINK PIROUETTE CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD bring to this card.  The KINDA ECLECTIC CLEAR-MOUNT STAMP SET, has these great leaves and paired with PAPILLON POTPOURRI WOOD-MOUNT STAMP SET butterflies and punching them out with the  BITTY BUTTERFLY PUNCH, and  ELEGANT BUTTERFLY PUNCH make this a quick card to make.  Don't let these products retire before you get your hands on them!  www.kris.stampinup.net
