Happy Summer with D2BA

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Today I am featuring the awesome new Flip Flops stamp set!

 Many times when stamping I think the the images need to be stamped in black in and then colored in!

But occasionally remind myself that it's not true!!!

When I first got the Flip Flops stamp set I was ready to stamp the flip flop image in black and start coloring, as seen below:

But as I was ready to color, I started thinking these flip flops would be so fun stamped in color!

So I did exactly that:

D2BA has some super fun ink colors!!
I used Paradise, Wild Orchid, Bright Pumpkin, Margarita Lime and Sunset Yellow!!


Here is my finished card:

I used a piece of Wild Orchid paper behind my sentiment layer and fun stamped flip flop layer!

How fun and bright!!

We often forget to step back and relax!  So I was super excited to create a project with relaxation in mind!!

I decided to use the awesome new Flip Flops stamp set!!

I occasionally like to put on a pair of flip flops, grab a glass of wine and walk down to our pond/beach and sit down and enjoy the beautiful view!

So I was inspired to create a wine tag with a relaxation theme:

I stamped the flip flop image multiple times on a piece of Sunset Yellow pattern paper with Wild Orchid ink!!

 I just love the bright fun papers from D2BA!  You can find them all here!

My current favorite colors are Yellow, Purple, Pink and Turquoise!!

The fun "Relax...unwind get in a flip flop state of mind." is from the Flip Flops stamp set as well!

What a fun wine tag!

My plan for this coming weekend is....RELAX!

Here's a view of my "relaxing place":

My happy place!

Flopping Fabulous

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

For my card today, I thought I would use the Hanging Flip Flops (E797)!  I just love summer, its so nice and relaxing to throw on a pair of flip flops!

I stamped the fun flip flop image twice, to make it look like they are hanging on a wash line across my card!

 I colored them in fun bright colors!  And finished off my card by adding the super fun Flopping (D520) sentiment!!

Only Worry

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Today I am featuring the NEW Flip Flops stamp set!

So exciting!!

The fun Adirondack chair caught my attention first!  I love the silhouetted of the chair, so I thought it would be fun to have some fun with some ink and a stencil!!

I started by using the Paradise Ink and stencil to create a the pattern on the bottom left corner of my white cardstock!

I used painter's tape to hold the stencil in place as I added the ink with a sponge!!

I thought the Paradise Ink was the perfect color choice!  Kind of making it seem as if it were water!

I then added a fun sentiment from the set!

Can you guess which one?!?

I love the "Only Worry in the world is the Tide gonna reach My Chair" sentiment!

How fun!!

The stenciled edge really adds the perfect touch, I think!  

Perfect with the chair then stamped on top!

Remember to sit back and relax occasionally in our crazy fast paced world!!

Flip Flopping Fabulous!

Hello Stamping Friends!


Have you seen the new "Vacation at the Beach" die release from Frantic Stamper!!

There are some super fun new dies!  Be sure to check them all out here!!

Today I am featuring the new Flip Flops!!

The die set includes the shoe soles, toe pieces and 4 interchangeable decorative elements!!  

I love flowers, so I went with the decorative flowers and added a rhinestone in the center to add a little bling!!

Aren't they fun?!  I sure think so!

The "You're Flip Flopping Fabulous!!" is a computer generated sentiment!

I just love being able to throw on a pair of flip flops!! 
And especially taking a walk out to our pond!

Some of you may know life here has been pretty crazy!  We are currently building!

We recently finished up the landscaping around our pond, so it is one of our favorite spots to go!  You normally can find us swimming lately!! :)

My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I just had to have a rainbow of chairs since this is my happy place!!  Now if only we could get even more rain to fill the pond up!

That was just a slight personal note, I hope all is well with you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a lovely day!
