First Frost

Recently, a long time friend and customer of mine asked if I was going to purchase the First Frost stamp set.  Without hesitation, I said "no, I don't need that ".  Then, last week at club, we made a Christmas card using the set.  Of course we giggled about the fact that I had said "no" and that we were now creating with it.  What can I say?  Sometimes you need to see what other people do with a set before you decide you "need it" right?

Here's a non-Christmas creation using the First Frost Bundle.
Notice how nicely the bird image from the Petal Palette stamp set works with the First Frost stamp set.  I love the watercolor look.

    So true Annette that sometimes you need extra inspiration before choosing something. I’m still on the fence about the stamps but your card really shows off how pretty it is, especially teamed with that gorgeous paper.
    Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog too,
    Only wishes, Di

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...
