Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I made a birthday card for a friend and followed color challenge no. 416 at Color Throwdown.   Here's their challenge: The colors listed for the challenge are: Cranberry, Dark Teal, Peach and Kraft.  Here's what I made using: Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, Peekaboo Peach and Crumb Cake: I used the Love & Affection stamp set and water colored the larger flowers using Peakaboo Peach and Cherry Cobbler ink refills with my Aqua painter.  I used "thick" white card stock, as it can handle water coloring pretty well. Supplies: stamps : Love & Affection ink: Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Island Indigo, Peakaboo Peach and Crumb Cake card stock : Peakaboo Peach, Crumb Cake and Thick Whisper White accessories : Island Indigo and Peakaboo Color Enamel Shaper, Clear Wink of Stella, Adorning Accents Edgelits (retired) and Island Indigo ribbon (retired). Who doesn't like to get flowers, right??  Than...

Hello, crafty friends.  Thanks for stopping by today.  We have a new sketch challenge for you to play along with at Sunday Stamps!  Here's this weeks challenge:  SSC#138 And here's what I made using the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and matching Santa' Sleigh Framelits Bundle .  I think of it as a "Christmas Wonderland" :) I have been having a lot of fun creating with the This Christmas Specialty DSP .  Here's three reasons why: 1.  There are 4 sheets of each double sided design for a grand total of 24 sheets;  2.  It's thin, so I can easily layer without making a bulky card; and 3.  No In Colors- just traditional colors: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Vanilla (although I think Mint Macron goes well with a few of the designs like this one). Here's the Supplies I used to create this card:  Santa's Sleigh stamp set and Framelits Bundle, Star of Light stamp set, Garden Green card stock, Cherry Cobbler card stock...

Hello, crafty friends.  I have to let you know that the last several months have been challenging for me, and as a result, my stamping had to take a back seat.  Things seem to be "back to normal" and I am grateful to have made it through it.  Sadly, I am still grieving over the loss of my best friend- my dog, Riley.  I recently had to put him down as he had been sick, and I am still adjusting to his absence. :( The card I made to share with you today is from the Greetings from Santa Bundle (#143524). I recently used up my Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon from the 3/ 8" Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack at my Holiday Make and Take class, but I haven't really touch the silver ribbon, so that was my focus. Supplies:  Greetings from Santa Bundle, Real Red Card stock, Whisper White Card stock, Candy Cane Lane DSP, 3/8" Silver Glitter Ribbon, Silver Glimmer Paper, Versamark, Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Dimensionals. This card actual...

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am busy hosting my Holiday Make and Take class, and I thought I would give you a taste of the type of project stampers will be making today.  This card is actually a "runner up" and did not make it as one of the projects for my class today.   I love the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set!    Stampers will be making 2 Halloween themed projects and 2 Christmas themed projects using the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle and Halloween set- among other fun filled Holiday catalog projects. I just love this little mummy.  I think he looks so cute with those little black eyes which were made using the matching Cookie Cutter Builder punch   and Basic Black card stock. This is a perfect sized treat bag for the little or big goblin in your life using a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock and the Gift Bag Punch Board . SUPPLIES: STAMPS:  Cookie Cutter Halloween CARD STOCK: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Bl...
