Little Dreamers Baby Card - Coast to Coast Creators June Blog Hop

Little Dreamers is perfect for creating baby cards!

Welcome to our June Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are featuring products from our new 2023 Annual Catalogue! 

If you're a subscriber to my blog, you probably know that I am not really a fan of what I call "cutsie" stamp sets. The brand-new Little Dreamers set probably falls into that category... However, I just love this set, especially for baby cards. And I would probably call this whole set "stinkin' cute", which is a good thing!!

I stamped the elephant in Tuxedo Black Memento, and then coloured it with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends. The DSP, which is also new, is our Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, and the new ribbon is Pool Party 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack (also new!).

Here's an updated card using our new Everyday Details Dies

If you have a moment, I'd love for you to leave a comment below! But first, be sure to check out the gorgeous creations below!!

Oceanfront Fun-Fold Thank You Card

Hello!! Thank you so much for visiting! I've entered this card in Kylie Bertucci's June International Blog Highlights contest! I hope you like it--and, if you do, I'd be very grateful if you would vote for me, please! Please click on the button below to go to Kylie's blog, and vote by clicking on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#9), until you see the heart turn red. Thank you so much for your support!!

Our Oceanfront photopolymer stamp set is the ultimate "simple stamping" go-to set! You can create beautiful scenes, and, because it's a "Distinktive™" stamp set which has a special texture, it gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating images that are photo-realistic.

If you are wondering about the Tahitian Tide rhinestones, I just coloured our regular rhinestones with Tahitian Tide Blends--awesome idea, hey?

Thanks very much for stopping by--and for voting!!! If you like my card, please vote here--then remember to click on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#9) until the heart turns red--that way you know that your vote is registered.

Full Directions for My Oceanfront Fun-Fold Thank You Card:

1. Cut the following layers:
• Blueberry Bushel cardstock: 4-1/4" x 11", cut and scored as in the video tutorial
• Basic White cardstock: 2-5/8" x 4-3/8"; 5/8" x 4-3/8" (two of these for side panels); 4-1/8" x 7/8" (for sentiment); 4" x 4-1/4" (for inside)
2. Score and burnish card base as shown in video tutorial (also see diagram below).  
3. Stamp centre panel, overlapping each slightly: sky in Balmy Blue, water in Tahitian Tide, and sand in Crumb Cake. Stamp birds (from Waves of Inspiration) in Basic Gray.
4. Stamp side panels, moving sky, etc. up one inch higher, so they match the centre panel (because of the way the card folds). You will need to stamp the sand in two or three parts.
5. Stamp short grasses in Old Olive, and tall grasses in Mossy Meadow. Stamp side panels, as well.
6. Add texture to sand with Crumb Cake.
7. Cut 12" of white twine, and colour it with the Tahitian Tide Blends. Wrap around the centre panel and tie into a bow. Adhere centre and side panels to card base.
8. Stamp sentiment (from Dainty Delight) in Blueberry Bushel; adhere to bottom of card front.
9. Use Tahitian Tide Blends to colour three Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and add to card front.

Around the Bend Thank You Card #3

Hello, and thanks for visiting! And thank you VERY much for voting for my card--it placed in the Top Ten in Kylie Bertucci's May International Blog Highlights competition!! I am so happy to be considered part of this group of amazing designers from all around the world, and to have been invited to participate in the Top Ten Winners' Hop again! (I am posting my Top Ten card at the bottom of this blog entry, in case you missed it.)

This is a super-quick card to create! It's similar to one that I made a while ago, and it's all about using some great Designer Series Paper, especially ones that I call "border prints". These papers make gorgeous cards in a flash, because the DSP does all of the work!

When you use our Around the Bend border dies, it really kicks your simple cards up a notch! Watch my YouTube video below (coming soon--a little delayed due to technical issues--sorry!) to see how quick it is to make this card, and to see some other variations!

Here is the card I submitted for this month's contest. Thanks again for voting it into the Top Ten! To see more photos and directions for the card below, click here.

Here is the card that you helped vote into the Top Ten!
Thanks again!!

If you live in Canada 🇨🇦 and don't presently have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I'd love to help you out! Shopping links are below--receive a gift from me when you place an order with me.

I'd love for you to comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Then be sure to check out the other Top Ten Winners' cards!!
