Hello. It's time for another challenge at Sunday Stamps!  This week we are working with a sketch. A sketch using flags or banners.  But you don't have to use flags or banners. You could use whatever you decide as long as its similar to the sketch challenge layout.  Here's what I came up with:    I used the Falling Flowers stamp set and matching May Flowers Framelits  (Bundle #142329)  as well as the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and matching Classic Label punch  (Bundle #142330). I chose bright and  cheery colors: Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Dapper Denim and Mint Macaron.  This is such a lovely set. It has a whimsical feel to it. With no cutting involved, this card came together quickly!  It may be hard to tell in these photos, but everything is embossed with Copper Stampin' Emboss powder !        Falling Flowers Stamp set May Flowers Framelits Watercolor Wash Bac...

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am sharing a Christmas card I made using the Thoughtful Branches stamp set with the new hot trend of copper. I used Copper Stampin' Emboss powder and the new Copper Foil Sheets which will be available for purchase from the Holiday Catalog starting on September 1, 2016.  The snow flakes and the sentiment are from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set. I chose to accent the copper with the rich color of Dapper Denim with a splash of Crumb Cake. The Burlap Ribbon from the annual catalog is another fabulous item.  Not only is the width perfect, you can easily separate it to make a matching bow as I have done here. Supplies: stamp sets: Thoughtful Branches, Holly Jolly  Greetings card stock: Crumb Cake and Whisper White ink: Dapper Denim, Craft White, Versamark accessories: Beautiful Branches Thinlits, Copper Foil Sheets, Dapper Denim DSP, Copper Stampin' Emboss powder, White Stampin' Emboss powder, Stars C...

Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a card I made using a new product from the upcoming 2016 Holiday Catalog called the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is unique, in that you "sandwich" it much differently than a regular embossing folder due to the folder's thickness.  This is a 6" X 6" embossing folder and it creates a deep impression in your paper.  It makes me think of cozy sweaters...falling leaves and hot chocolate! I also think the Cable Knit Dynamic embossing folder is great for masculine cards like this one :) Supplies: stamps : Guy Greetings paper : Soft Suede, Whisper White ink: Archival Basic Black, Soft Suede accessories : Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder, Crumb Cake DSP, Aqua Painter and Burlap Ribbon. Isn't this a fun embossing folder?  I can't wait to make some fall cards to share using new products from the 2016 Holiday catalog!   Looking for some cool stamp...

Hello, crafty friends.  I have a sympathy card to share with you today using the beautiful Limited Time stamp set called  Thoughtful Branches for the new color challenge at Sunday Stamps! I took the challenge literally, in that, I used the stamp and framelit that can be used either for leaves on a tree or as the petals in a flower and made a multi colored hydrangea flower. I sponged Dapper Denim, Marina Mist, Soft Sky and Smoky Slate onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and then stamped the leaf image over this using Dapper Denim.  I then die cut it out.  The leaves were stamped using Mint Marcaron. Here's the exclusive, limited-time stamp set. Available until August 31, 2016, or while supplies last. Thoughtful Branches Bundle Now that you have seen my creation, please head over to the Sunday Stamps! challenge blog and check out the other design team creations and then join us!  We would love to see what you create w...
