Fast and Fabulous Friday - So Fast and Easy Waterfront

Dear Friends

This card is Fast.  

This card is Fabulous.

This card is so easy you won't believe it!

I CASed it from a card on Pinterest, but mine is even faster and easier.   Believe it or not.

No cutting.  No layers.  Just stamp away.

My Waterfront work of art is a one-layer card using Stampin' Up! thick Whisper White. 
I stamped the mountains from the Waterfront stamp set in Crumb Cake (the ones further behind are stamped off once) and the sun in So Saffron.  The grass was stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and the trees in Garden Green.  The water was stamped in Pool Party then again in Dapper Denim. Then the grass in front was stamped in Pear Pizazz and the dots were stamped in Sahara Sand.
For the final detail, I used the mountain stamp with Soft Sky ink to create faint clouds.

Lots of colours. Lots of stamps. But no positioning or even being careful.  The watercolour effect of these images means you can stamp them pretty much anywhere and it all looks glorious. Everyone will think you are a true artist!
Add a sentiment to create a Sympathy Card

Don't forget to add a sentiment to the inside of your card!

This is the type of card that you can make in duplicate (or triplicate!) so you have a great card ready for any occasion, when you need it.  Leave the sentiment off like I did, then add one later to suit your needs.

Unfortunately, I seem to need a lot of sympathy cards lately so this card was turned into one using sentiments from the Rose Wonder set.  Dapper Denim sentiments on the outside and the inside and this card is ready to send.

I created a similar card last week using the Waterfront set. Just as fast.  Just as fabulous. 

Trust me when I say you want the Waterfront stamp set. Purchase it plus any number of other goodies from the Occasions catalogue and/or the Annual catalogue and/or the Clearance rack.  When you order $60-worth of goodies you get to choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!

Club Card Done Oh So Well

Hey there friends

I just had several wonderful friends leave my home after creating some gorgeous cards at their monthly club night.  And one of my very artistic friends, Sonya, added her own little flair to one of the club cards to really step it up a notch.

I wanted to show my club members a brayer technique - and Sonya decided to emboss her image after she had finished stamping.  Of course, whenever you use the Square Lattice embossing folder after you've stamped, the image takes on the appearance of having been painted on canvas or linen.

Sonya embossed her card and what was initially a gorgeous card anyhow, became an absolute work of art.   She left here, card in hand, ready to give this gift of time and caring to a good friend who just lost his mother.

What a beautiful way to tell someone you are thinking of them during a difficult time in their life.

I hope all of my club members are as pleased with their creations as Sonya was.  And I hope when they pass their own cards on, they know how appreciative the recipients are!

Have a wonderful day my friends.  And despite our snowstorm yesterday, Spring is just around the corner.  Honest it is!!   :)

God Bless you all,       ~Cynthia     <><
