Sunburst Birthday

Ready for another new sample??  You may be noticing a trend here with my cards this week....I am currently obsessed with the SUNBURST THINLIT and SWIRLY BIRD.



I also can't get enough of the new In Color PEEKABOO PEACH.  It's so gorgeous paired with POOL PARTY so be prepared to see lots of these two colors!



This card ended up being mostly die cuts and very little stamping by time I was done.  It all started with the SWIRLY SCRIBBLES THINLITS.  I added vellum and Pool Party waves behind the sunburst and a swirly on top of it.  I also added in a few silver clouds that were fussy cut from the SHINE ON DSP.



For the sentiment, I used a retiring set, RAY OF SUNSHINE.  The sentiments are fantastic paired with the SUNBURST SAYINGS BUNDLE.  Like I've said before, I love how the different stamp sets work together and compliment each other.  You may also notice the sentiment is white embossed on black cardstock.  This look just pops against the softer pastel colors....I can't get enough of this look!

I hope you are enjoying all the previews of upcoming stamp sets, I love playing with all the pre-order products!

Tangelo Twist

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring the In Colors that will be retiring soon.  Today we are coming to the last In Color, TANGELO TWIST.



I pulled out a retiring set and a newer accessory to make a really fun card featuring tons of TANGELO TWIST.



Told ya there was lots of Tangelo Twist on this card!!  I went a little crazy with it!  It all started with the idea of using RAY OF SUNSHINE with the SUNBURST THINLIT.



I wanted the rays to be Tangelo Twist, but I also wanted the card base to be that same color.  So, I needed a layer in between.  In comes the also retiring COLOR ME IRRESISTIBLE Designer Paper.  I chose a geometric design and sponged on color.  It turned out to be a great contrasting layer!

I took it a step further and added a lot of color inside the card as well.  I was able to incorporate the die cut too!



I die cut a sunburst to use as a template for sponging.  I kept the sponging light so the sentiment could really stand out in the middle.



And of course there is a sunburst on the envelope too!  Gotta coordinate in every way!!

Now, let’s get to the good stuff, the supply list so you can make your own Tangelo Twist Sunburst card!

More Color Smash!

Yes, I am a bit infatuated with the COLOR SMASH technique and have yet another card to share.  I can't help myself, it's such an easy technique and packs a big punch!



My inspiration for this particular card came from the sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.



I liked this sketch and thought a color smash background would be perfect for it.



I pulled a sentiment from Ray of Sunshine, it compliments the rainbow beautifully!  I initially intended to use Over the Rainbow, but it was nice to change it up a little and use a set that's been put away for awhile.



Did you know that I did a card set with Over the Rainbow for the NEW Mini Session from Create with Connie and Mary??



Yep, it's an exciting time right now, the NEW session is LIVE and ready to inspire you!  Best part, it's only $8.95 for 5 awesome tutorials!  For all the details visit Create with Connie and Mary, I Hope you'll join us!

Mr. Sunshine for CCM312

It's hard to believe yet another week has flown by!  It's Thursday already and I still feel like it's only Monday!  But since it really is Thursday, I have a card to share for this week's color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  First, here are the colors we have to work with.

I love these colors together, so beautiful!  I wanted to use Ray of Sunshine since it's my set for this week's Summer Collection project.   I needed a little inspiration, so I went back and looked at past Create with Connie and Mary sketches.  Here's what I ended up making.

The Moonlight DSP has all three colors, so I chose this layout to incorporate the paper.  I started out with a Blackberry Bliss card base embossed with the Large Polka Dot EF.  The Designer Series Paper strips went next.  Since Sahara Sand is a great neutral color, I used it for the sentiment which I stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.

The sun was so fun to make, the Moonlight DSP came in handy for him too!  I used a great Hello Honey striped pattern and the Banner Punch for the rays.  The sun is a circle of Hello Honey cardstock that I punched with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  I stamped the face with Blackberry Bliss ink, I love the bold look!  I added him to the card with dimensionals so he could pop up a bit.  I meant to add a few sequins around the card, but totally forgot!  I was so happy with how Mr. Sun turned out, that the sequins never made it on the card...oh well, it happens!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Ray of Sunshine
Paper:  Blackberry Bliss, Sahara Sand, Hello Honey, Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack
Ink:  Blackberry Bliss
Accessories:  Banner Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder
