Country Flowers Sympathy

Happy Tuesday and welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  There are so many beautiful images and colors to inspire you!

Inspired by the pretty florals and colors, I stamped one of the floral images and leaf image from County Flowers.  I colored them in shades of Pretty Peacock, Soft Sea Foam, Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop.

If you've followed along with me for a bit, you'll notice that I love white on white...the Eyelet 3D embossing folder was the perfect way to add just a little bit more to the Basic White panel and really makes the florals pop!


The sentiment was heat embossed on Basic Black...another favorite!

This was a fun alternative way to use the Country Flowers stamp set.  The florals and leaves are fun in the pots, but they are just as fun all on their own!

Join in the fun and share what you were inspired by with this challenge.

Happy Stamping!

Mix & Match Celebration

Happy Friday friends and welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge!

I am usually one to follow a sketch pretty closely, but I went in a little different direction with this one!  All of the elements of the sketch are still there...do you see them?

I am wrapping up the week with one more Mix & Match card using these cute little critters from the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack.  Don't they just make you happy?  

The card base is from the Sunny Springs Cards & Envelope Pack.  The top layer comes from one of the envelopes.  I love how all of these colors coordinate so well!

A sweet and simple sentiment from Simply Said completed the sketch...no embellishments needed!

I hope my creations this week have inspired you to add the Mix & Match products to your crafty collection.  You won't be disappointed!

Happy Stamping!

Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop May 2024

 

Welcome to this month's Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month we have a variety of projects to share using this fun sketch. 

May be a graphic of text
You may have just arrived from seeing the beautiful sketch interpretation from Theresa McEntee of Theresa's Treasures or you may just be starting...either way, be sure to make a stop at each blog along the way!

I absolutely love the new Mix & Match products!  Today I am sharing a project using the Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes and the Fully Flower and Something for Everything Ephemera Packs. The only extra card stock is the Soft Sea Foam layer and the Basic Black for the sentiment.

I cut the strips from the coordinating envelope for this card base.  I love the softer colors on the outside of the envelope with the bolder colors inside.  They worked so well for this sketch!

The floral images come from the Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack and the sweet little butterfly is from the Something For Everything Pack. Aren't they beautiful?  There are endless creative possibilities with these products!

Let's keep on hopping and see what Lori Wilcox of Creative Stamping with Lori has to share with us!

Have you discovered the new Mix & Match products in the Annual Catalog? They are so awesome and perfect for quick, easy and FUN cards!

I started with a card base from Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes.  Then came the fun part...adding a variety of Something For Everyone Ephemera Pack.  The creativity possibilities are endless! The only extra paper element I added was the Crushed Curry Circle.


The Simply Said stamp set has a variety sentients in fun fonts that are perfect for serval occasions!  A few Shy Shamrock In Color Resin Dots were just the right touch to finish this cute card off!

Heartfelt Smiles

It's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge.  There's lots of room for all sorts of creativity with this sketch!

I finally decided I needed the Layers of Beauty bundle and I have been having so much fun with it.  The Decorative Masks are magical...the ability to layer colors is simply the best!

I layered Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry for the roses, with Granny Apple Green and Garden Green for the leaves.  After all of the blending magic, I stamped the outline over the top. It's almost like a watercolor effect.  Beautiful!

I stamped a few of the smaller images on the Granny Apple strip and embossed the Night of Navy panel with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder for some added texture. A strip of Daffodil Delight and a heat embossed sentiment on Night of Navy completed the sketch.  The Adhesive Backed Dots for Days were the perfect little embellishment to finish off the card.

I hope you'll join along in the fun this week!

Happy Stamping!
