Pink Christmas

Fall has just begun, but we are already thinking of a winter wonderland at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.  This frosty inspiration challenge has me dreaming of cozy winter days and freshly fallen snow!

Inspired by the pretty pink snowflakes and frolicking deer, I pulled out Reindeer Fun again for another wintery creation.

I cut the two deer from the Reindeer Days DSP and placed them in the Grove {Dies}. I absolutely love the Bubble Bath background embossed with Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.  Isn't it pretty?

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo with some Soft Sea Foam holly. Such a quick and easy card!

Join along in the fun and share what you were inspired to create!

Happy Stamping!

Sunshine and Smiles

Not only is it a Merry Monday, but it's also a Monday Montgage Monday!  That means two posts in one day...woohoo!!!

I switched gears and took a little pause on fall and holiday crafting to ink up the adorable Enjoying Little Things stamp set. 

I started by creating this fun Garden Green checkered background.  It totally reminds me of green checkered Vans...I love it!  

Next I punched a circle using the 2-3/8" Circle Punch and stamped the sumburst image at the top and bottom in Crushed Curry.  The sentiments were stamped in Fresh Freesia and a few cute flowers were stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party with Old Olive leaves.  These images were all fussy cut to place in and around the punch circle.

A few Dots for Days embellishments finished things off.  This cute card is ready to send out to brighten someone's day!

Who will you send a card to today?!?

Happy Stamping!

Reindeer Fun Presents

Here we are, back at Monday again.  Let's make it a Merry Monday with another cheerful Christmas card!

This weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch immediately had me reaching for the Reindeer Fun dies.  The gifts were perfect to pair up with this sketch, created by my long-time stamping friend, Amy!  Isn't it fun?!?

I used Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party for the gifts and wreath.  I love bright, non traditional colors for Christmas!

The Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder added just the right amount of festive texture to the card!  No embellishments needed!

Happy Stamping!

Abstract Birthday Wishes

Friday's always mean an all new TGIF Challenges!  This week we have an inspirational abstract image to help get your creativity flowing!  I can't wait to see what everyone is inspired to create!

I love the textured black background with white splatters, so I stared there!  I embossed a piece of Basic Black with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and splattered it with Whisper White ink.

Pulling inspiration from the pinks and golds within the inspiration photo, I die-cut some leafy images using the Textured Floral Dies from Basic White, Petunia Pop and Gold Mercury Vellum.

I nested a few strands of Petunia Pop Boarded Ribbon with just a hint of the Gold Twisted Thread behind the die-cut leaves.

A simple Happy Birthday sentiment from Simply Said stamped in Petunia Pop on Basic White really pops against the Basic Black background.  A few gold Sparkle Gems hidden amongst the leaves add just a bit more shimmer and shine.

What inspiration will you pull from today's challenge?  Be sure to share it with us over at TGIF Challenges.

Happy Stamping!

Otterly Amazing

I always love a good sketch to play along with and this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge is a fun one!

I've got one more card to share from the Otterly Amazing bundle.  This time I focused on the stamped images and my coloring heart is happy!

I stamped the otters in Memento and colored them with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends, along with Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.

I love this Balmy Blue water pattern of Otterly Adorable DSP is so calming.  A few Balmy Blue bubbles were stamped on the DSP.  The die cut log and So Swirly Embossing folder added just the right amount of texture.

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share you creation with us!

Happy Stamping!
