Welcome to the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES BLOG HOP where we are featuring No Line Watercoloring today. This is the first time I've tried this technique and I have to say it's somewhat addicting!
Here's a video tutorial to show you how to No Line Watercolor:

This NO LINE WATERCOLORING technique was really fun. Now I'm looking for other stamp sets to do it with! The Soft Spring stamp set was perfect. It really does remind me of something Monet would paint...what about you?
Just a 3/4" strip of the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper for the inside - lots of room for my message.
Dimensions:
Blackberry Bliss 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2" & 4 3/4" x 2 1/2" & scrap
Watercolor Paper 2 1/4" x 4 1/2" & scrap
Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" & 3/4" x 4"
Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4"
What a pretty stamp set - I love that you have a choice as to how you want to stamp with a 2-step stamp set. You can stamp and color or stamp the line art images and stamp with ink to color.
Soft Spring
Only $9.50 - exclusive set must be ordered with Stampin' Rewards. You get Stampin' Rewards with a $150 or more order or if you have a Stampin' Up! party.

Welcome to the June Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop - this kit is called A LITTLE SMILE. I am in LOVE with these adorable little cards!!! They are so very CHARMING! Here are the cards made as Stampin' Up! intended them to be in the kit:
And here's what I made!!! I love summer and these certainly scream summer don't they? I added some cardstock and the High Seas 3D Embossing Folder but the rest is right out of the kit.
And you'll find 3 different alternate ideas that I created with the June kit - a video tutorial will show you all the details here:
If the video above does not play - click HERE to watch it on my blog.
Aren't these cute? Who doesn't love palm trees??? I'm so excited to have a "sea-summer" stamp set to use for all my summer cards!
I love the little sign on this card - made with one of the banners and the edge of the banner sheet.
Dimensions:
Whisper White Thick 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"
Crumb Cake 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" & scrap
Coastal Cabana 3 3/4" x 5"
Another super beachy card - these are so fun!
Dimensions:
Crumb Cake 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"
Whisper White 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Coastal Cabana 3 3/4" x 5"
And then I had to make a little box. This could hold some treats and you could add a gift card too! My box is Crumb Cake and I pulled the little envelopes apart to add one to the front and one to the back - super cute right? A 3" x 6" Gusseted Cellophane Bag is the perfect size. You'll find these in my online store - item code #141704.
Dimensions:
Crumb Cake 8 3/8" x 6 3/4" scored at 2 3/8" on all four sides

Sometimes you have a GREAT idea after the fact right? Well I wasn't happy with my card when I was done and a light bulb went off telling me "Kelly you need to add some layers to make that puppy pop!"

BACK ON YOUR FEET
This stamp set is just STINKIN' ADORABLE! A card made with it is sure to brighten anyone's day!
This turtle cracks me up - and what a predicament he's in! I colored him in with Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake, Bronze and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends. They make everyone look like an artist! The lighter turtles are stamped off once with Gray Granite ink for a 2nd generation stamping technique.
And who isn't going to smile when they see a giraffe with a know in its neck? I used Bronze, Lt Mango Melody and Gray Granite Stampin' Blends for him. The other giraffe's are stamped off once with Gray Granite ink for a 2nd generation stamping technique - same as the turtles.
I also stamped them inside with 2nd Generation Ink so I can write right over the top - cool look right?
Fun cards tonight!

If the video above does not play - click HERE to watch it on my blog.
This was a fabulous set to play with - I didn't have any trouble at all coming up with ideas - of course the beautiful stamp images and that DELICIOUS foil paper was super helpful!
I love using sentiment stamps for the background on my card fronts. This one has a funky font that was perfect for this technique. And then the foil paper did all the work right? BLING!!! And how about those new colored rhinestones - I love them!
Here are the insides of both card - I love to dress them up just a bit:
My second card uses the two-step stamping for the peacock tail - love that! I chose the Stitched Shapes Framelits for the Whisper White layer and then the Layering Circles Dies for the green and blue scalloped circles. A little bit on coloring on the peacock with Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends makes that peacock pop right?
This foil paper is a MUST HAVE! I love it when the designer series paper does most of the work and this stuff certainly does.
I really love these cards - both peacocks are magnificent!
