Brillliant Brights-Yellow, Blue and Green

  Last week I featured this stamp from Animal Outings, in my blog.  I think these animals are so cute and even though they could be used on kid cards, I will use them for lots of people.

Brights used for this card
  Daffodil Delight
  Granny Apple Green
  Coastal Cabana

The great thing about this new color revamp is that each color in the family looks great with any of the others, like demonstrated in this card.

The giraffe looks like he's talking so the words Thank you Big Time work well as the saying.

I embossed the background using Layered Leaves embossing folder.
Then stamped and punched the leaves using both Granny Apple card stock and ink
I used a little bit of Coastal Cabana re-inker and an Aqua Painter to make a light background on the saying circle.

The layered circles framelits came in handy for cutting out the parts of the focal point of the card. Card is finished.

For the 5th day, I decided to make a monochromatic card featuring my favorite color from the Brights Collection.  Make a guess as to what you think that might be and then come back tomorrow to see if you were correct.

Till then,
Sushi

Brilliant Brights-Mango Melody

 I thought it would be fun to feature a card with all the bright Collection colors on it and this is what I came up with.  I also like to show case one of two hostess sets.

Just what is a hostess set?  They are shown at the back of the catalog and can only be purchased when you are the hostess.  The price of the stamp is a lot lower than if it was in the main part of the catalog. I liked this stamp, Seasoned with Kindness, because there are all kinds of plants that you can place in the vase.  There is also a lot of 2-step stamping with stamps that are easy to use.

The Mango Melody color show up a lot better in this picture than the one above.
I first tried a strip of all the colors that was  the width of the card and did not like that so I cut it down so it is about 2 inches wide.

The stamp set is photo polymer so it is easy to line up the stamps, especially if you stamp the dark outline first.  I am planning on feature one color family each month for the next 3 months and will make a similar card each month to showcase all the colors.

Are you wondering what colors I might feature tomorrow?  I have used most of them already so there might be a rerun. Check back and see if you are correct,

Are you a hot weather person?  I am not and sometimes can get a migraine in the heat. So, my parting wish for today is to stay cool.

Brilliant Brights-Pinks and Reds

This was one of the new sets that attracted my attention. Do you like puzzles?  We usually have a jig saw puzzle going at our reunion and I like to take a break now and then to work on it.

Colors for today's card

Poppy Parade (returning in color)
Melon Mambo
Flirty Flamingo (retiring in-color from last 2 years)

This stamp set Love You to Pieces has so many possibilities.  

For this card I....

1. Cut out the pieces using the 3 colors for today.

2. Reassembled the puzzle alternating the colors and leaving one white area in the center.  At first I left it truly empty but then it was hard to place the next piece exactly as it should be, so I put a white piece in that spot.

3. Stamped the image and then added the missing puzzle piece.

I had so much fun with this card, I know I will feature this stamp set in a later blog so I can show you all its parts.


Are you having fun seeing how the different colors in this family go together.  I have had great fun creating these cards.

Tomorrow I will feature the color Mango Melody and the Hostess Set called Seasoned with Kindness.

I have 4 sisters and 1 brother and we live coast to coast.  After our mother passed away we decided to try and get together once a year knowing full well if we did not we would never see each other.  So, this is our 8th reunion.  We don't all make it each year, but it is good to be able to see each other when we can.

I hope you are able to spend time with your family,
And have time to stamp of course,
Sushi

Brilliant Brights-Blues

Have you seen all the new colors and how they work into each color family?  I thought I would feature some cards that showcase each one of the colors in the Brights Collection this week.  In fact I created a class featuring this weeks cards.  Check it out here.

Today's colors

Coastal Cabana
Bermuda Bay
Pacific Point
Gorgeous Grape

Today's stamp set
Healing Hugs
  This is a new distinctive stamp from the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

To make today's card I followed these steps.....

1. First, I used an acrylic block and markers to scribble the 4 colors featured today on the block.

2. Next I spritzed the block to allow the colors to spread and blend a little.

3. I placed a piece of card stock over the block and pressed.

4. When this was dry I stamped my images on top.

As a final touch I added some pearls.  I thought they could look like drops of dew.  

Tomorrow, I will share a card made with the red and pinks from the Brights family, and feature the Love You to Pieces stamp set.

I hope everyone is staying cool and finding some time to stamp.  I am in Ohio attending the annual Davis Family Reunion.  We are at my brother's house where there is a pool.  So, no matter how hot it is outside, I know we can cool off.

Till tomorrow,

Stamp a card,

Sushi
