Sassy Stampers Card Camp - March 2022

Here's the card I am thinking of making for the Sassy Stampers Card Camp in March:

Many of you know of my love/hate relationship with sailing and so this stamp set/punch bundle had my name all over it! I got my inspiration from this card by Brian King. I changed up the colors and the dsp and I really like it.

Here's more information on this fun camp:

Playing with retired DSP

I have been playing around with some retired DSP and colored images and these are a couple of my attempts:

I had such a fun time creating these. I used a lot of paper scraps in the process too! The papers are from a retired 6x6 set that I cannot now remember the name of, but they are too gorgeous to let them languish in a box! The image is a digital image and I cannot remember where I got it, but I love it! I colored it in these three colors and also in Poppy Parade, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay and Balmy Blue using Stampin' Blends. I used Mango Melody for the flower centers and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. I love using the Stampin' Blends as you get a light and a dark version of each color and they match and blend perfectly.

I recently had occasion to make some thank you cards to send to folks that sent me sympathy wishes on the passing of my mother on January 25. The thoughtfulness of these caring individuals was greatly appreciated and I will show those cards once they have been mailed out.

Crazy Card Chics Card Kits to Go - February 2022

Here's my card for this month's CCC card kits to go:

Inside:

The card base is Pool Party with a layer of white and then a layer using the SAB paper pack called Simply Marbelous that you can get for FREE with a $50 order from Stampin' Up! There are 8 sheets each of 6 double sided designs. It's absolutely gorgeous! The sentiment on the front is from this month's stamp offering from Technique Junkies. I love the 1st of the month when they showcase that month's new stamps. I punched out a couple of hearts from some retired Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper and added a couple of rhinestone jewels. The inside is a digital stamp from Lily of the Valley that I colored using the RGB codes for Pool Party in my graphic editing software and added a sentiment. The corners are all punched using a ½" Crop-a-Dile corner chomper.

This is a great camp and all participants really seem to like it. Here are the details in case you want to participate:

Stamp Camp North - February 2022

Here's my card for this month's Stamp Camp North:

Campers will have a choice of outside and inside sentiments. Card base is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Mango Melody and Daffodil Afternoon DSP. The punches I used were the Starburst (in Mango Melody) and the Lovely Label (in Very Vanilla). I really love this dsp and you can get it free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' Up!
