Botanical Gardens DSP | The Maui Stamper

There are 21 day left in Sale-a-bration: 21 glorious days when every $50 you spend earns you FREE exclusive products. The RemARKables are sharing SAB inspiration this month:

There’s a LOT going on here – and I love that it all coordinates! Stampin’ Up! is the Coordination Super Hero.

Stamps: Botanicals for You (SAB), Honeycomb Happiness (SAB), Easter Lamb
Color Palette: Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder
Accessories: Botanical Gardens DSP, Big Shot Fry Box Bigz L, Ovals Framelits and Zig Zag TIEF, Fringe Scissors, Botanical Gardens Washi Tape, Metallics Glitter Tape (SAB), Wink of Stella brush, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This is a face only a mother could love. There’s a HEAP of Stella (none of that Winkin’ business here) and up close it looks as though this chick did a face plant out at Keawakapu Beach. In real life, it’s just super-sparkly.

I trimmed the front of the Fry Box to within 1/8″ of the side and bottom tabs, then turned them under and attached the box to the card front with dimensionals to create a true 3-D basket.

I had a blast with these eggs. Arrange Washi on card stock and then use the Oval Framelits collection to give you a perfect oval egg. That’s silver Metallic Glitter Tape – no adhesive required!

Stamps: Botanicals for You
Color Palette: Whisper White, Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder, So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Island Indigo
Accessories: 2015-2017 In Color Designer Paper Stack, Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This is softer and simpler, and will suit any occasion. I like to have a stash of cards like this – I can add a sentiment inside and have a birthday, thank you, or Easter card as quickly as you can open an ink pad.

Rhinestone jewels are featured on the Weekly Deals through Monday. I consider myself “out” of Rhinestone jewels when I’m down to 3 (unopened) packages. What’s your number?

Heather Mathieson is next up, and the full tour is listed below in case you want to go your own way.

Anne Matasci – YOU ARE HERE!!

Buckle your seatbelts, my friends. If you consider yourself easily shocked, you might want to visit another blog today. There’s a story here…

I designed this card for my Hostess Club, because I really didn’t think the one I WANTED to make was appropriate. For the record, here are the supplies:

Stamps: Honeycomb Hello
Color Palette: So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Mint Macaron, Whisper White
Accessories: Botanical Builder Framelits, Botanical Gardens DSP, 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Rhinestone Jewels, Iced Rhinestone Embellishments, Aquapainter

You have to be a little careful with this chick, because there’s attitude in that face. And this is where the story begins.

I’m gonna let my BFF tell it – actually, she practically demanded that I let her write this post.

This card is not for the faint of heart. Or for the Fragile Friends.

So… a bit of background. Imagine. Late night in a stampin’ garage dodging insects. (And by late night, I mean, 9:00…cause my normal bedtime is 7:30… so we are talking LATE). And a couple of stampers, who shall remain nameless to protect their identities, were perusing the new Occasions Catalog. And at this time of night, delirium has set in. Severe case of the funnies has set in. We get to Honeycomb Hello. Love the bird, the stamps, but decide how USEFUL an OH HELL sentiment could be. And how we are apparently missing this sentiment from our stampin’ arsenal. Well, don’t you love the markering stamp technique?? Allows you to put ink where you want and not where you don’t. So…you can make whatever sentiment you like.

This is the perfect card for your bestest bff of all time. Cause they are the ones you call when you have the phrase… “Well, you’ll never guess what I did today….” or when you forgot something significant, or when you are needing comfort… but in ALL those situations, OH HELL works!! And cause she is your bestest BFF, she totally gets it. And jumps right into the madness and sits with you (brings the wine and chocolate) until life is normal again. And she is also the one, when opening this card will understand that it is the perfect card at the perfect time. It’s a PERFECT I’m sorry card. Or Birthday… or well… ANYTHING. This is the best BESTEST BFF CARD.

Don’t you just love those little honeycomb embellishments!?! They are the perfect accent to add to this little chick.

Now, I LOVE kind and pretty and delightful cards that uplift and make people’s day. But even though we live in paradise, life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. A good OH HELL and a glaring chick will make your BFF smile. Every time. I promise. Cause it’s the reminder that she gets it. And, really, she doesn’t even need to say anything for you to understand that that fact.

Seriously? Couldn’t have said it better myself.
