What’s the Back Story?
In May 2019 my son joined the U.S. Navy and I joined a few penpal and card writing groups as a way to ‘mother’ from my now empty nest. I’ve enjoyed sending 50-80 birthday cards each month since July 2019. I truly feel called to do this. Every Christmas the groups I belong to focus on sending cards for deployed military personnel of all branches and recruits going through Navy Boot Camp over the holidays. In 2019 with the help of some friends and a local Ladies Club, we were able to make about 100 cards. this year we are aiming for a total of over 300! We need about 250 more. Won’t you join us?

A Huge THANK YOU to Art Monkey Emporium for partnering with us and providing the location for our Card Making Event.

Happy Birthday

Isn’t this flower from the Band Together Stamp Set so pretty? I feel like this flower could be for any season, just change up the color. The monochrome color scheme of this card makes me want to go to the ocean! Three of my favorite colors right here. Enjoy!

Champagne Foil

Merry Merlot

These Detailed Band dies really take the show. Their intricate details add so much to any card with extra WOW when layered as in this card. I was in fall color mood when I made this one. Maybe a card for an upcoming Anniversary…. hmmmm.

I tell you this a sleeper stamp set! I’m so glad I took a second look at the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Painted Moments dies. This set came out last spring as a whole Suite of products with a lot of Ta Da. The Suite had such a beautiful pack of Designer Series Paper and the lovely coordinating Poppy Moment Dies that this sweet Painted Poppies stamp set and pretty Painted Moments die set were far overshadowed. This #simplestamping card uses just Stamps, Ink and paper for a simple stunning look.

You’re One in a Melon

Posted on August 24, 2020August 14, 2020 by Tina Newberry

A rainbow of colors and watermelon are perfect for summer. Here in Florida it is rare if we don’t see a rainbow every day. We get such swift and severe storms in the afternoon that it can be pouring in front of us and sunny behind us- the exact conditions needed for a rainbow. Thank you 7th grade science fair project for that fun fact. LOL. Had so much fun creating this card with my friend Kim and her Cute Fruit Stamp Set.

Measurements

Full list of supplies needed, listed below. A die cutting machine is needed for this card.
Card Base: Whisper White Thick Cardstock 8 1/2 h” x 5 1/2″ w folded to 5 1/2″ h x 4 1/4″ w.
Background: Whisper White Cardstock 5 1/4 h x 3 3/4″ w
Background Strips: Coordinating colors 3/4″ h x 3 3/4″ w cut 6
For the card shown: Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Bumble Bee, Just Jade, Bermuda Bay & Misty Moonlight.
Sentiment Layer: Whisper White Cardstock 2 1/4″ Layer Circle Die

Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the Background Strips to the Background, leaving 1/4″ of Whisper White at top and bottom. Trim the left and right edges, as needed.
Adhere the Background using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the Sentiment on the Sentiment Layer in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On scrap Whisper White Cardstock Stamp Off the Rind using Just Jade and the Melon using Magenta Madness. To Stamp Off, ink the stamp and then stamp it on scrap paper before stamping on the cardstock. This makes a lighter shade of the color.
Attach the Melon to the Sentiment Layer with Stampin’ Seal.
So cute! Put it in the mail. Now.
