I had a Stitched Rectangle die cut sitting on my table that I had tried something on and I didn’t like it. I flipped it over and decided to make a beach scene. I then stamped some of the pigs from the super cute stamp set This Birthday Piggy and fussy cut them out. I thought it would be so cute on that beach!

I first stamped the ocean with Pool Party, then stamped the sand with Crumb Cake. I used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink to make the light sky background.

I die cut the one big palm from the Palms dies with Basic White paper. I colored it with Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive Blends.

The pig I stamped with Memento. The pig is colored with two of the Natural Tones Blends- I used one of the Lights (SU1000) and one of the Medium Light (SU800).

His scooter is with Tahitian Tide and Daffodil Delight Blends. The Happy Birthday sign is Granny Apple Green.

The “hey there” stamp is from the new set Big Hooray. I have lots of ideas for this set!

I know, a slightly unusual card! I would never think of using Oceanfront stamp set with This Birthday Piggy stamp set! I think a kid would love this card!

Here’s everything I used:

After I cut out all the flowers from the paper for my last video seen here:

I had so many left over and decided I wanted to make a full background of all those flowers. The paper size was 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 and I just added flower after flower until I liked how they looked. I cut out any that hung over the paper.

The “Sending you Thanks” is from two different dies: the Amazing Thanks (for the “you” and “thanks”), and the Sending dies. I cut them out of basic white and the Hues of Happiness DSP.

The circle is from the Beautiful Shapes dies. The frame is the Stitched Rectangles dies (surprise!), and the corners are from the Fabulous Frames dies.

The card took a little more time- just deciding how to arrange and layer the flowers in the background.

It’s a pop of color for sure!

When I first looked at what we demonstrators got to order early, I liked the Cup of Tea suite. Then I saw the lemon die and I LOVED the suite!

Many, many, many years ago, SU! had a stamp set that was sliced fruit- one that could be a lime, lemon or orange. I made a card stamping it in three different colors.

This card I used so many new things. The lemons/limes/oranges are with the Teacup die. I used Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie for the oranges. Garden Green, Parakeet Party for the limes. So Saffron and Daffodil Delight for the lemons.

The background is the new stamp set Rays of Lights. I used So Saffron for that.

The Sweet Friend is from the Sweetest Cherries stamp set. I stamped the “sweet” then die cut with the new Deckled Rectangles dies. I then stamped “friend”.

The top scallop border I used the Scalloped Contours dies.

I used my Stitched Rectangles dies (surprise!) for the border around the front.

Here’s everything I used!
