Sending Thoughts

Hello, crafty friends! I am excited to share a card I made using the Sending Thoughts stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  My local host club ladies made a card using the same colors and sponging technique at class last month.

I will tell you that when I first saw the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle in the Occasions catalog, I wasn't sure I needed it, but decided to go ahead and give it a whirl.  Well, I have to say that I have used this set THE MOST and I truly do LOVE it!  I am a big flowers kind of stamper and the images in this stamp set work well with so many flower sets like this awesome one called: So in Love Bundle. :)


I can't stop using Flirty Flamingo!  I am wondering if my customers are getting tired of this color since we have made at least one project in the past 2 classes using Flirty Flamingo.  Sorry, ladies.  I will try not use it this month. :)

    Oh my goodness, I love this card! I love the colors you used and your sponging and then adding the So Detailed die cut. How did you make the diamond pattern?

      The diamond pattern is the Irresistibly Floral Specialty DSP. It's awesome!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
