For today’s card, I used Umbrella Lula and colored her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers… scroll down to my post from yesterday for the color information. See that cute paper pieced umbrella? That’s a new die and the umbrella stamp and sentiments are from the Umbrella Logos set! Very cute!
I’m sharing a video I made quick the other day…I know… I got carried away with videos…hohoho! I wanted to show how I keep my thin metal dies… so without further ado… here’s a 2 minute quickie!
Stamps and Such…
First link is the magnetic holder… it’s in stock now! Thanks!
Today I’m coloring with Promarker and Flexmarkers colors. I’ve colored five skin tones and a variety of colors to hopefully give you an idea of how the colors look and work together. I haven’t colored with these markers very long…I’m still learning for sure! I like them and enjoyed learning to use the chisel tip for covering larger areas and getting in tight places!
Here’s cute Umbrella Lula showin’ her colors!
forgot to add, I used Dusky Rose on her cheeks!

A lovely Spring day! On the blog anyway! = ) Finally getting around to using some Memory Box and Poppystamps dies… This is the Grand Madison Window and the Echo Park 6×6 paper pad called For the Record. I also used the Memory Box Spring Border die for the flowers behind the window.
Pretend you’re on the inside of the house looking outside…this is an adorable silhouette image from an old Stampin Up set… I bought it used… the container says Thankful Thoughts and the label on the stamp says 2003.
I scored the strip of polka dot paper every 1/8 th inch on my Martha Stewart score board… love that thing! Then accordion folded it for the inside window treatment! Imagine… a garden… yeah right, from a gal that can’t grow anything… hehe
One more picture that kinda shows the window plastic… I mounted the Spring border flat to the window… then used mounting squares to mount it to the piece of pattern cloud paper that I stamped on.
Cute! It took me a couple days to think of how to finish off the front of the card after I finished the window part. I’m happy with it! whew! hehe
Now, here’s a three minute video if you have time to watch. Just showing how I store my Memory Box and Poppystamps dies! I’m thinking this would work for other dies too…even though they don’t come in envelopes you could use or make envelopes to store them the same way… the 6 x9 booklet type envys might work good…
Fabulous NEW stamps from Printworks Collection, HERE! I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks stamp pads/ink. Squeeze the lid to pool the ink on the lid making the lid the paint palette. Pick up the ink with a wet paint brush and color away… the trick for me is… how much water to use! eek! I need to practice more!
The inside… a wonderful New PW sentiment honoring Mother’s! (I added the flower, its from PW too)
Here’s a 3 min. video on how I masked and positioned the images together….

Relax, it’s cool! How to celebrate a 10th birthday… fishing… Grandson Lane loved his new tackle box and lures from Grandpa!
New Stampfairy stamps from Marianne Design… Stampfairy Bear Fishing and Stampfairy Sentiments. I also used Marianne Design’s tree, fence, grass and bird dies for this step card… it just makes me happy! So cute! The three little trees in the background are a dollar stamp from M’s… I stamped and masked the bear first… just cut out half the mask… = )
I love how the dies emboss… I used the embossing with the stylus technique that I show in this video HEREand the tree is pieced like I show in this video HERE.
All the pieces are edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink, the green is edged with Peeled Paint Distress ink… and the ink blending tool! MME Lime Twist Cloud paper again… I bought the last three sheets of it at the stamp store in Des Moines… love it! I’ll link to the 6×6 pad that has it in it though.
Gonna switch gears and try watercoloring some of the new Printworks stamps….wish me good painting! eek! I love a good challenge! = )
Happy Fishing or for me… I prefer Stamping! lol Thanks for stopping by! Talk to you again soon!
