AESTAMPS A LATTE

 Hello, crafty friends. Today, I am sharing a card made for a dear friend who is going thru some major struggles right now.  :( The Nature's Harvest stamp set is a new bundle and is part of the Harvest Meadow Suite which can be found on page 54-56 or the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog.  This is my first stamp set that contains die cut floral silhouettes. :) For fun, I decided to pair the Nature's Harvest Bundle with the Layering Diorama Dies.  I am still experimenting with these dies, but I am liking them even more each time I use them. :) I used two different sizes of of Layering Diorama dies but created 3 different layers.  The larger diorama die was used for my Harvest Meadow DSP , followed by using the next smaller sized die for my Basic White layer and the Misty Moonlight layer.   My sentiment is from the Elegantly Said Bundle and is the perfect sentiment for my heartfelt card. I die cut 2 grass silhouette's from the Nature's Harvest bu...

Hello, crafty friends. Today starts a new challenge at Sunday Stamps! and here's what I made using the Shaded Summer stamp set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog with the new coordinating  Summer Shadow Dies which is a FREE Sale-a-bration item that can be found on page 13 of the Sale-a-bration brochure. It became a "must have" item that found its way into my shopping cart.  lol   Ironically, I have been eyeing up the Shaded Summer stamp set since the release of the new annual catalog and was wishing it had coordinating dies.   To create my floral center piece, I stamped and die cut several floral images and pieces them together using Calypso Coral ink. Next, I adhered all to a Basic White layer that was die cut with the very cool and must have (I think I have said this more than once-lol) Encircled in Beauty Dies. This was then added to two Calypso Coral cardstock strips that were embossed with the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and then onto...

 Hello, crafty friends. Today, I am sharing a sympathy card I made using the new and upcoming Delicate Dahlias which is a FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set found on page 14 of the Sale-a-bration brochure. This is a photopolymer stamp set that contains 12 images.  It does not say that it is a Disinktinve stamp set, but I think it stamps as if it is.  There is so much detail when you stamp with the solid images. Just beautiful. For this creation, I used only the solid images to create my floral arrangement around my sentiment.  You can stamp the images as is- as I have done here; or you can stamp the solid image into the matching outline image; or you can color the outline image.  How cool is that? My flower colors are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Classic Inks. This card is super easy to create. However, I did need to make a few masks of the solid flowers for this creation and plan to keep them in the stamp case. NEW CARD CLASS ALERT! There are 9 project...

 Happy Saturday, crafty friends. Today, I am sharing a card I made for a neighboring friend who is dealing with some health issues that I just found out about.  Praying that it goes well for her and that she makes a complete and full recovery. I have the awesome (and must have) Encircled in Beauty Dies on my radar still and decided to pair it with my most favorite stamp set from the annual catalog- the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle. Do you know what DSP I used?  It is one of the new Sale-a-bration items that you can earn for FREE starting on August 3rd when you place a $50 order.  It coordinates with the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle and therefore was a no brainer selection for me. :) There are four each of three double sided designs in the Beautifully Penned 12" x 12" DSP   Sale-a-bration paper.  It is monochromatic with black and white designs on it that you can use as is or color it in the desired color of your choice. For my creation,  I used a Blending...
