AESTAMPS A LATTE

 Hello, and happy Sunday crafty friends. Today, I am excited to share another creation I made using my most favorite stamp set in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog: the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle su for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Have I mentioned how much I love this set?  Honestly, I heart this set.  As I have stated before, after viewing my Hand-Penned Petals video and then making the projects in my Hand-Penned Petals Card Class , I know you will be a creative expert with this set. No joke.   It is so easy to color, or stamp color the floral images that I can't seem to stop using it! lol I did a little bit of both techniques. I colored the flowers and then stamped over the purple ones.  So fun, and so easy!  And I have to mention that the new In Color: Fresh Freesia is another favorite item of mine. It's such a stunning color; so soft, so pretty! My card design follows this weeks new sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps! by Amy. To play alo...

 Hello, crafty friends. Today, I have a floral creation to share with you using the retiring Pretty Perennials Bundle (item 156234) with the new Layering Diorama Dies (item 155565). I so love the Pretty Perennials Bundle and will be sad to see it retire on June 30th.  There are so many pieces in this set that the flower combinations are endless.  After working with this set for my card class HERE, I made a template of each image to be used with my Stamparatus using a thick piece of cardstock.  It makes stamping quick and easy and is stored it in my stamp set. Being a Demonstrator for as long as I have been, I was attracted to the Layering Diorama Dies since they are so different.  Stampin' UP! has an excellent example on page 12 of the Annual Catalog for you to see and it quickly became a new addition to my craft room. :) This is only my second time using the Layering Diorama Dies , and I am happy to say that I like them.  For my first go, I only used on...

Hello, crafty friends. Today, I have an ombre thank you card design to share with you using the Oh So Ombre 6" x 6" DSP from the January-February 2021 Sale-a-bration with the Elegantly Said stamp set.  I went through my DSP stash and decided that the floral image from the Elegantly Said stamp set would look great stamped directly onto the Oh So Ombre SAB paper tone on tone. And then for fun I added some bling from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack to my thank you card.  Very cool elements that can make your sentiment or flowers really pop. :) AESTAMPS A LATTE HOST CODE PERKS HOST CODE: 9NYZPJTK Receive the   Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack     as my thank you gift when you place a $40 order (before shipping/tax) using my current host code.   Please do not use my host code for an order of $150 (before shipping/tax) so that you can get Stampin' UP!

 Hello, and Happy Sunday crafty friends.  Today, I have a window scene card to share with you using the Welcoming Window Bundle (#159529).  The Welcoming Window stamp set and matching Window Flower Box Dies DO carry over to the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, but are only offered as a bundle with a 10% savings until the end of June. My color choices for my card follows this weeks new color challenge at Sunday Stamps! Although there are strawberries in the challenge photo, I see a dark red  in the color swatch, so I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz and Misty Moonlight Stampin' UP! colors.
