Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, crafty friends! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I want to wish all of you a very blessed 2017 Thanksgiving with safe travels while you make happy memories with family and friends.  Which you are going to scrapbook when you get back, right?  Ha-Ha!  Aren't I funny?  Seriously, at our home we will be taking our annual family photo for my hand made Christmas cards, and if I can get that accomplished- that's sayin' something- do you know what I mean?

Here is one of the cards I made for this years Thanksgiving celebration:


This card came about because of my obsession of coloring with the new Stampin' Blends. I was experimenting with the Stampin' Blends trying to see what they would look like just colored and not worrying about blending them together. :)


I used 4 different stamp sets to create my Thanksgiving card: Vintage Leaves, Painted Harvest (sentiment), Timeless Textures (splatter and coffee rings), and  lastly the Watercolor Wash background stamp set.  

To create more of a vintage feel, I distressed the edges of the cardstock layers using my finger nail. To finish it off, I added a few Gold Metallic Enamel shapes and a bit of Gold Metallic Thread.


Thanks for stopping by.   Don't forget about the Online Extravaganza sale and get double the savings if you combine it with my November Host Code gift offer! 

Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving celebration!  
Place an order of at least $40 (before shipping/tax) using my November Host Code: M3MJFJSZ, and I will send you the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder  as my thank you gift! More details HERE.

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!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at 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...
