Apr 23, 2018 | Hand Stamped Card |
Hi Friends,
I love FRUIT and I LOVE this card!
What’s better on a hot summery day than a glass of yummy iced tea or lemonade???
I used the Jar of Love stamp set plus the Everyday Jars Framelits.
And did you notice the straw? How too darn cute is this??????
You may also notice that the embossing folder is retried as well as the Designer Series paper BUT you can use any paper and newer folders. I just love the design of this and since we ARE approaching nicer weather, I plan on making a lot of these cards!
Here are the instructions”
- Base is Whisper White cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
- Next layer is Calypso Coral cut at 5 1/4 x 4″.
- Pick a cute Embossing Folder (Polka Dot Basics would be real cute) and run it through the Bog Shot.
- Then adhere that layer with Snail.
- Next take a piece of Designer Series Paper ( Whole Lot of Lovely is very similar) and cut to 5 1/4 x 2″. Layer it on as you like –either left orientation or a bit towards the center as I did.
- Then stamp a lemon slice form the Lemon Zest stamp set and color it with Crushed Curry Marker. Of course I had to use Wink of Stella for some added shine!
- Next I stamped a mason jar with Staz-On ink onto a piece of vellum then used the framelit to cut it out.
- I sponged the inside of the vellum with a combo of Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral ink to make it look like sweet pink lemonade!
- I took a plastic straw and cut to fit the jar and adhered the whole thing very carefully with Dimensionals.
- Added the slice of lemon and a message …and voila!

Here is the finished card.

What do YOU think?
Check out my video below and see how fast and easy it is to make!

Here are the directions:
- Base of card is Night of Navy CS cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″
- Next is a layer of Soft Suede CS cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″and Snailed onto the base.
- Next is a layer of Night of Navy CS cut at 5 x 3/3/4″ and Snailed onto the Soft Suede layer.
- Take a piece of Water Color paper, cut to 3 x 4 1/2″ and start the FUN!
- Starting from the bottom, I used Marina Mist ink for the water shadow.
- Then using Night of Navy ink, I added the water lines.
- Next I used Soft Suede and added the sandy beach and the trees.
- Then using Old Olive, the mountains were stamped full strength and stamped off.
- The sun was stamped with Crushed Curry –and the message in Night of Navy.
- The inside is a piece of Whisper White stamped with the trees and mountains and I did the same thing to the envelope! (no naked envelopes in my house!!!)
VOILA!!!!! Fast and easy –and so so pretty.

Hi Friends,
Now, I know these cards really speak to Valentine’s Day….
HOWEVER .. I want to let you know that they both are retiring -the stamp set (Sure Do Love You) AND the gorgeous
Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series paper.
I have to say that this Designer Series paper may have been one of my all time favorites. And it might be YOURS too.
If it IS–this is the time to order some!
It is going very fast and once the paper is gone –IT IS GONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
The same holds true for the stamp set.
This set does have other applications –not just for Valentine’s Day.
Birthdays or that special event –maybe an anniversary –or simply to send someone you love a very pretty card!
SO if these tickle the cockles of YOUR heart, make sure you place an order to get them now!
May 31st will be here before we know it –and POOF!!! All gone!

These were made using an hombre of Peek A Boo Peach and Berry Burst inks. The second card uses Night of Navy.
I love how simple and FAST they were to make!
The base is the usual 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Whisper White. The layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
Then I used the Layering Ovals Framelits to ‘Big Shot’ the images. Popped that layer on with Dimensional ( under a piece of ribbon..just knotted once for an added dimension.
I used some Gold Foil paper to punch out a butterfly and ..voila!
What do YOU think?

With his card, I followed the same dimensions as above but layered the message onto a pic of Copper Foil Paper.
The sentiments come from another fabulous Sale A Bration set. Happy Wishes.
