Power to the Pandas! Pink Power! When I first spotted this stamp set I went a little ga-ga over it! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it and start crafting away! This card was born out of card swap with fellow demonstrators. I love the combination of powder pink and berry burst ( both new In Colours). I think the silver glitter balloon makes this card POP! (pun intended)

When I saw this stamp set it looked like he was juggling, so I thought why not juggle multicoloured confetti? I tied it in with coordinating paper scraps. I coloured the dots on the hat to coordinate with the inks using my blender pen.
It seems lately I have been drawn to using my 1/2″ bits for greetings and embossing them! It’s a phase.

I found this card went together fairly quickly when I had all the bits embossed and pre-cut. Want to give it a try? Click on the video to learn how:

When I saw this stamp set, it was instantly added to my top 5 sets to get!
The versatility within the stamp set is amazing! It’s an all season stamp set for sure! As the cottage season is winding down and many of us are packing up from a season of sandy beaches and icy cold drinks, I thought I would create this card. Fall has always been a busy season for me, so this card is placed prominently on my desk to remind me to “Just Breathe”!
Watch the video to see how I created the card:
I used the Tempting Turquoise ink and watercoloured the background.
As that was drying I put together the other elements of the card. I used white embossing powder for the sentiment, crushed curry for the Adirondack chair, and the seaside embossing folder for the waves on the card base. After I assembled the card I added some glitter with Wink of Stella glitter pen!
Check out these newbies. I wanted to offer a stamping 101 workshop to showcase the variety of uses for the versamark pad. Well after some web-surfing inspiration, this is what I came up with:
