Traditional Season Greetings

Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  This one is perfect as we make our way into the wintery Christmas season!

I was drawn to the plaid and greenery in the photos and went with the Traditions of Christmas suite to play along today.

I love this plaid pattern of the Traditions of Christmas DSP, especially with a bold Secret Sea card base.  A few die cut pieces of holiday greenery and a whimsical sentiment made for a simple yet beautiful holiday greeting!

I hope you will join along in the fun this week!  

Happy Stamping!

Swirled Days of Happiness

Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!  I LOVE this sketch...plan on seeing a few more cards with this one!

I played with the new Swirled Designs bundle to create this bright and cheerful birthday card for my son's girlfriend.

Berry Burst, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight with a few pops of Basic Black are awesome together!  I love all of the little subtle detail stamped images in this stamp set and the dies are just plain awesome.

Join in the fun and play along with us this week!

Happy Stamping!

Traditions of Christmas

Happy Friday and welcome to the latest TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!

I've been in Christmas crafting mode this week, so I thought I would continue using these beautiful colors for a bit of a more non-traditional Christmas card.

I stamped this gorgeous Christmas Greenery image in Crumb Cake, stamping the poinsettia in Calypso Coral and the leaves in Old Olive...stamped off for a softer look.
The Beautiful Bokeh DSP die cut with the Textured Notes Dies added a bit more color, along with a few Christmas Greenery die cut greenery.
The Pressed Flowers embossing folder added just the right amount of texture and the Traditional Labels sentiment was the perfect finishing touch!

Happy Stamping!

Wreath of Joy


It's the most festive and crafty time of year!  The 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is back in full swing and I'm having so much fun playing along!  Join along in the fun...you'll have so much fun AND 30 Christmas cards ready to mail out on December 1st. 

Day 5 was a color challenge...one of my favorite challenges!  I used Poppy Parade, Mossy Meadow and Soft Sea Foam to play along.

The latest Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to use some of the beautiful Christmas Greenery Dies and Traditional Wreath 3D embossing folder.  And thanks to this joyous die from the Abundant Joy dies (Paper Pumpkin add-on dies), there was no stamping required!

 Happy Stamping!
