Why to love Stampin' Up! Inks - Part 1...

I've been slowly building my collection of Stampin' Up! Inks and trying to use my old CTMH ones as much as possible. 

The problem is, the more and more I use the ones from Stampin' Up! the more and more I want to purchase...good thing is I've been using my Stampin' Rewards to stock up and I've been LOVING THEM! 

I made this layout as part of a monthly YT Collab featuring random sketches we find online. This month's sketch came from Scrapbook & Cards Today. I went a little roque (for those of you who know me, this is no surprise) and made a monochromatic layout of sorts with some pops of yellow. Let's take a look...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

By using the new Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (adhesive-backed, I might add), I was able to add some pops of yellow which went really complemented my photos...

-------------------------------------------------------

Those cute little clouds? Those are from the Ephemera Pack too...CUTE, huh!?! I stamped some sentiments using Secret Sea Ink and images from the Storybook Life Stamp Set (you'll find links to all the products at the end of this post)...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Remember me telling you that my love of Stampin' Up! Ink Pads is growing...well, this is just one of the reasons. The ink reacts to water much like Distress Oxide Inks. Don't believe me? Take a look and don't forget to head on over to YT and watch the process...

Summer Swimming with a Waterfall - and I'm not talking about water...

It's been a while since I posted this scrapbook layout to my YT Channel, but it's worth sharing!

We took a trip a few years ago to something called Son's Island in Texas. You can rent these little spots right on the river and swim, float, kayak...you name it, you can do it.

I found using a mixture of Florals in Bloom and Nests of Winter DSP was the perfect fit for these photos, don't you! You can find a complete list of products I used {{{here}}}.

-------------------------------------------------------

There are so many little details on this layout 😊 like this sun-stamped title. I cut some Daffodil Delight Cardstock using the Party Alphabet Dies then stamped the cute little sun using Darling Duckling Ink...

---------------------------------------------------------

These cute little circles were made by embossing some Pool Party Two-Toned Cardstock with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder then using various circle punches to cut out the little anchor spots to my sentiments. I stamped the sentiments on some Daffodil Delight Cardstock and dove-tailed the ends...

--------------------------------------------------------------

That cute little sun is the same one I used for the title. This circle uses the 2-3/8" Circle Punch...

----------------------------------------------------------------

Now for the WATERFALL I was talking about. This layout has an interactive feature where when you pull this little date tab, you'll see a waterfall of 10 additional photos....how cool is that!

NEW Online Exclusives - Floral Charm...

BRAND NEW PRODUCTS hit my website today and there are definitely some good ones!

Let's start by showcasing a little fun fold + floral charm + the cutest little note...

--------------------------------------------------------

One of my FAVORITE things about the Just a Note Bundle are the dies - not only do you get the cutest little piece of notebook paper, but you also get several little paper clips - this clip is one of them. It's also a perfect opportunity to showcase the backside of the Floral Charm DSP...

--------------------------------------------------------

When you open the card, you're greeted by the inside sentiment and a decorate flap...this sentiment comes from the Textured Notes Stamp...

--------------------------------------------------------

You can then open the flap, and the two little hearts you saw on the front of the card (if you missed those, scroll back up and take a look)...
