AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, crafty friends! I have a fun card to share with you for the new challenge at Sunday Stamps! . My most favorite Framelit set that I will never get tired of using is the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits (137547)   which debuted in the 2015 Occasions catalog.  One word: Love.   I used the beautiful Perfectly Artistic DSP as my card base which was one of the FREE SAB items that "retired" on February 15, 2016.  The sentiment is from the Botanicals for You SAB stamp set (141237), and the cute little die cut flowers were made using the Botanical Builders Framelits (140625) which matches the Botanicals for You SAB stamp set perfectly.   I added some sparkle to my card using a new FREE SAB item: White Metallics Glitter Tape which became available on February 16, 2016.  Here's this weeks challenge at Sunday Stamps! The colors I used: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. It is hard to see in the photo, but I stamped the cut...

Hello, crafty friends. Today's card showcases 3 different stamp sets that I "mashed" together.  Here's my card: Can you figure it out?  I used the Birthday Blooms stamp set, the Bloomin' Love stamp set and the What I Love SAB stamp set.  I embossed a piece of Pool Party cardstock using the Honeycomb embossing folder (page 174 Annual) and stamped the dots in White craft from the Birthday Blooms stamp set randomly into the honeycombs. I stamped the flower images in Archival Basic Black ink and then watercolored them using my Aqua Painter and Blushing Bride and Mossy Meadow ink refills. The beauitful paper (my favorite DSP from the Occasions)  is the Birthday Bouquet DSP (page 9 Occassions).  To finish it off, I added some sparkle to the flowers using the Clear Wink of Stella (page 24 Occasions), silver sequins and Basic Pearls. A great card for a great friend!                         ...

Hello, and happy Friday!  I can't believe its already the end of the week! You haven't heard from me because somewhere, somehow, I picked up the stomach flu bug.  I am slowly starting to feel better but as you can imagine, I am behind on everything! So here's a quick post sharing the card I made for my oldest who turned the big twenty-one: I used the Sunburst Sayings Bundle and the Number of Years Bundle - both from the Occasions catalog.   I also used the Limited Time Sale-a-bration designer series paper called Perfectly Artistic which can be found on page 19 of the Sale-a-bration brochure and is available only until February 15, 2016. That's it for today! But don't forget to stop by on Sunday and see what the new challenge is at Sunday Stamps!  Until then, happy stamping!
