AESTAMPS A LATTE

 Happy Sunday, crafty friends! Today, I have a sympathy card to share with you using the Sending Smiles Bundle. As most of you know, I love flower stamp sets so it should not be a surprise to see me creating with the Sending Smiles Bundle.  What a great bundle this is.  I love that it has many different sentiments and that each of the flower images has a matching die.  Pair this with your Stamparatus and you can make lots of floral cards easily. For this creation, I chose to work with Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia and Soft  Succulent inks for my floral arrangement and paired it with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. Isn't the Fern 3D Embossing Folder just stunning?  I see lots of new creations using this fun embossing folder. :) My card design follows the new challenge at Sunday Stamps! created by Claire. To play along with this weeks new challenge, simply follow Sunday Stamps! guidelines below: Use any brand of products you have; Link your new...

Hello, crafty friends.  Today, I am sharing the Father's Day card I made for my husband using products from the He's the Man Suite .  But before I do, I wanted to share one photo of the many beautiful photos of our trip last week to the North Shore along Lake Superior.  This is the High Falls of the Pigeon River in Grand Portage, MN which is located close to the border of Minnesota and Canada.  There are numerous state and national parks along the North Shore and every single one of them is a beautiful site to see with lots of hiking trails to explore.  If you have never been on a trip to the "North Shore", you need add it to your list of things to do. It is well worth it.  And here is the Father's Day card I made for my husband using products from the He's the Man Suite. As most of us crafters know, many non crafters can not relate to the time and effort we put into making a card for them. As a result, and not to "dis" my hubby, this suite is perfec...

 Hello, and happy Sunday! Today I have a creation to share with you using the Simply Succulents Bundle which follows the new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Since the new Sunday Stamps! challenge is all about color, I felt obligated to find something fun to color that I haven't used in awhile. I grabbed my annual catalog and started thumbing through it from the beginning and found the Simply Succulent stamp set on page 32 and my quest was done. Next, I experimented with my Stampin' Blends until I found the Sunday Stamps! challenge colors I wanted to use. After a few experimentations, I found that coloring with So Saffron followed by Light Old Olive made the green color I needed.  And now that it is finished, I think this is the perfect green for my succulents. :) The Stampin' Blend colors I used are: So Saffron, Old Olive, Misty Moonlight, Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet and Cherry Cobbler. Here's this weeks new color challenge: To play along with us, simply follow the challeng...
