Here is the card I made with the morning glory (Morning Soft, Stampin’ Up! retired) I stamped and colored on Monday’s post. Remember I used Cut-N-Dry Nibs to color the Morning Glories since I didn’t have an In Color marker. I was able to use a droplet of ink from a reinker to create a custom marker.
I added Icicle Stickles to the petals for a little dazzle. I used my normal Stampin’ Write Markers for the greenery.
And finally, I used Robin’s Nest Dew Drops for a final touch of bling. Do you like?

Hi Stampers! I need some help. As you are aware, my new shop will be launching next Monday. The goal of my shop is to share the products I’ve recommended to you. My favorites…the ones I’ve tried and love.
I’m really looking for some feedback though. I’d love to know what products you love and ones I should try! I have capabilities of getting a lot of products but since I’m not a Rockefeller, I’m having to pick and choose for the time being. So I’m curious about products that I “must have.” Leave me comments! Get specific, it’s ok!
Here’s a sneak peak of products that will be available:
- Shimmerz and Blingz
- GlueGlider Pro
- Robin’s Nest Dew Drops
- Bind It All
- Sakura Pens (see Julie’s post)
- Terrifically Tacky Tape
- Fiskars cutting products
- Stickles
- Liquid Pearls
- and more!!
I made this card last week for my dearest Julie who recently suffered a loss in her family. Losses are always a difficult thing. People don’t generally know what to say, or what to do. However, a handmade card goes a loooooong way.
I picked a color scheme that I knew Julie would adore. I used retired designer paper and colors from last season’s SU! In Colors (Groovy Guava and Soft Sky). I even had the matching ribbon!
I used a blender pen to soak in the Groovy Guava ink to create a “marker” so I could color these flowers. This image and sentiment are from the Thoughts & Prayers set (SU!). I used Always Artichoke for the stems and leaves.
Happy Memorial Day everyone. I am completely grateful for the people who serve and have served in our military. I know today is a special day for those who have died in service and I take this very seriously. I am sincerely moved while I’m watching memorial services. I get very teary-eyed when I think of our military and the people who serve in it. I wonder if it’s because I spent so long in San Antonio? There is something truly moving about living near military bases and seeing so many people walking around in uniforms. Even now it’s taking my breath away. Thank you to all our military (currently active and retired)…and their spouses.
