Watermelon Wonder ~ New Catalog Countdown

Good Afternoon Happy Stampers!!

I cannot believe it is almost here!!  

The new 2015/2016 Idea Book & Catalog is almost HERE!!

Today is the first day of the new catalog countdown over at SSInkspiration!  For this release, we're going to show you the BRAND NEW 2015/2017 In-Colors!  Each day I'll be focusing on a new color while also showing you some cute sneak peaks at some products.  

When we're done, you'll finally get to see the whole catalog!

Today's In- Color is Watermelon Wonder

Take it all in...

Now I know what you're thinking... Donna...it's just another pink.

Well I'm here to tell you...its GORGEOUS!!

It pairs SO nicely with Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride.

Its SO GREAT!!  It has a more orange tint to it, so its not your typical pink.  And I can tell you...it really looks like a true watermelon color.  I am super stoked to use it more!

Today my card features the Watermelon Wonder Cardstock, Cherry On Top Washi Tape, Candy Dots, Sprinkles of Life stamp set, and the coordinating Tree Builder Punch.  EEK!!

Don't you just want to eat it up?!!

As you check out today's Inkspiration from my page, be sure to check out the rest of the projects by the SSInkspiration Design Team for today!

I have been out of the loop for a little while and it feels SO good to create something special Just For You!

EEK!!

Don't you just love it the flowers?!?!

  These are from the Occasions catalog.  IT'S A KIT!!  (there are a LOT more of these flowers too!)  It is a very time consuming kit...but not because it is hard, it is because there are SO MANY FLOWERS!!! 25 Flowers!!

The card is one of my new favorite stamp sets...you will be able to purchase it on June second...its a SNEAK PEEK! from the new catalog!!

This stamp set is the new Ronald McDonald stamp set, Sprinkles of Life .... it is TO DIE FOR!!

Masculine Monday!

Masculine Monday!!

Have a special guy in your life...but he's not really sentimental?

Are you a crazy coffee lover?

I have the PERFECT Valentine for you!!

I love love love this!  haha   

I got to use the Skinny Minnie Alphabet set, plus the splotches were from the very first My Paper Pumpkin set (seriously!) and the "coffee rings" are actually just an embellishment lid dipped in Crumb Cake ink.

Then I used my Aqua Painter to smear the words (Early Espresso) and the images.

I have to admit, I saw this on a poster...and what I put on the inside of the card was just below the word coffee on the canvas;

HAHAHA!  Don't you just love it!?

(also:  I wish I had better handwriting!)

Want some more Masculine ideas?

Head on over to SSInkspiration for Masculine Monday!!

Watercolor Stampin!!

Hello happy Stamper!!

Are you ready for a fun little technique on this quiet Tuesday?

Watercolor Stampin!

 + + +  =

I adore this card!  Not gonna lie!

So all you need to do is this:

Use an Aqua Painter (or paint brush) add a thin layer of water onto the Watercolor Paper

Stamp your image in our Classic Ink

*it will blur!

Then you can use your aqua painter to move some of the ink away from the image to blur it even more!

For the hills, I just dipped my Aqua Painter right into a puddle of Coastal Cabana Ink and painted it on there free hand.  

I just adore watercoloring!!

To get the greeting, you'll need to earn the Simply Wonderful Stamp set....

purchase all the supplies I used in this card and Viola!!  $50 Sale-a-bration set earned!!

Wanna see some more?  Check out what my friends over at SSInkspirations came up with!!

have some water coloring you want to share?

head over to SSInkspiration on FB and share your ideas!
