Stampin’ Up! Wild About Flowers Acrylic Block Stamping

Posted on December 21, 2015 by stampsnlingers

Alrighty, folks! I’m home in Atlanta! The weather is crisp and cool and the days are counting down to Christmas. So, as you’d obviously expect – I have a completely non-Christmas card to share with you today. Not a Calling Bird to be found! 😉

I saw a similar kind of project on Pinterest, and wanted to give it a try. It uses acrylic block stamping – something I always think “oh, that’s cool, I’m going to try that” and then I always forget. Well, this time I didn’t forget. I also used my new-to-me Wild About Flowers to create a silhouette and the ever-faithful Watercolor Wishes for the sentiment. Just as an aside, folks – if you haven’t availed yourselves of the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit – do yourself the favor of picking it up. The cards you make with the kit are lovely, and having the exclusive-to-the-kit stamp set to use forever and ever is a true bonus!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming….

Here’s what I got with my first go at acrylic block stamping. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! One Big Meaning Goes Wild About Flowers!

Posted on November 18, 2015 by stampsnlingers

**Late breaking (or early, depending on your perspective!) news….I found out this morning that my card from the other day…

…was selected as a Pals Paper Arts Artist Pick! What a great thing to wake up to….Check it out here if you want to see the post and how it was made. Thanks to all the Artists over at Pals Paper Arts for picking my card! And – y’all go over and check them and the other winners out, okay?

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!

Well, folks – here it is, Hawmp-Day! Again! Today, after I got “home” from work, I persuaded the hotel folks to give me a table – a little bigger than I need, and it’s a little in the way of housekeeping, but….it works! Tomorrow I’ll set out all my stuff and I’ll be in business again. And – if I can just adjust to the time change, I’ll be ready to roll!

For today, I’m sharing a card that I made last week in anticipation of this lag in my ability to make cards here. I saw a card on Mary Fish’s blog that featured a flower “arrangement” in a vase. And the idea was so ridiculously easy and clever that I had to do my own take on it! The end result is a combination of One Big Meaning, Wild About Flowers (a new addition that I’d not really used yet) and some lovely Into the Woods DSP. And – there’s one other ingredient that is the source of the “secret”! Take a look-see:
