Pretty Patterned Paper

 

It's time for another Use Your Stash InstaHop! This month we are using Pretty Patterned Paper...and I have TONS in my stash!

I pulled out the True Love DSP to create this pretty Mother's Day card for my very own momma.  I love the classy black and white designs in the pack of paper!

I colored one of the floral images in Petal Pink, as well as a few of the tiny flowers in the background.  With a little help from this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, I pulled in a bit more Petal Pink.

A stamped sentiment from She's The Greatest and a few Low Profile Dots helped to complete the card.

Follow along over on Instagram to see what everyone else has pulled from their stash!

Happy Stamping!

She's The Greatest

This week's TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge was just the inspiration I needed to get a card made for Mother's Day!  Join in the fun and play along!

What do you call a card that uses 3 different stamp sets?  A $100 card!  But that's why we have so many stamp sets...so we can create fun cards like this!  

I stared with the Painted Stripes as my background...which is my new favorite, if you haven't already guessed!  Next I stamped and colored these tiny little flowers from She's The Greatest and tucked them around some Around It All die cut circles from  the Floral Delight DSP.

The larger circles needed a bigger sentiment, so I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Simple Birthday stamp set and fussy cut just the Happy.  I stamped Mother's Day, from She's the Greatest, in Daffodil Delight to complete the sentiment.

A little bit of white twine and some Antique Pearls completed the card.

Wishing all of the momma's out there a Happy Mother's Day this weekend!

Zipping By with Monday Montage

Happy Monday!  Our Monday Montage crew is back with another fabulous InstaHop!  Head on over to Instagram to see what we have in store this week!

Our very own Wendy and Cheryl visited me this past weekend and we stamped our hearts out!  We swapped and shared our stamps and dies and had the BEST time!

I didn't think I needed the All Zipped Up bundle, but after playing with these fun stamps and dies...well, lets just say they have found their way into my cart!

I cased the online sample of this card, switching out a few elements to make it my own. The Cloud Cover stamp pads might not be available yet, but that's not going to stop me from using the paper.  This color is so pretty and I love it paired up with Darling Ducking and Strawberry Slush!

Isn't the zipper the best?  So super cute!

In addition to visiting some of Wendy and Cheryl's favorite Walla Walla attractions and spending time in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, we spend a lot of time in my craft room.  My heart is happy and full!  Love these friends!

Thoughtful Hydrangeas

Happy Tuesday and welcome to April's Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge!  There are so many fun images to pull inspiration from...it was hard to choose!

I was most inspired by the hydrangeas and stripes on the beach towel...take a look to see what I came up with!

I created my own striped background by cutting strips of Basic White and Blueberry Bushel.  I love the extra pop of color from the Blueberry Bushel stripes!

I used the hexagon dies from the Meant to Bee dies, using both the solid and outline hexagon shapes in various patterns of Lovely Garden DSP. The hydrangeas were fussy cut and arranged amongst the hexagons.  

The Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack made finding the right sentiment so super easy...I love this pack!  A simple little Fresh Fresia Faux Velvet Ribbon and a few Two-Tone Sparkle Gems completed the card.

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share what inspired you to create!

Happy Stamping!

Freshly Made Cheers & Sips

Happy Mail It Monday!  Today is all about making a card AND mailing it...who will be the lucky recipient of today's card?!? 

With some help from the latest Freshly Made Sketches Challenge and my trusty Paper Snips, these refreshing images from Celebratory Sips helped to create a card that's perfect for the taste-of-summer weather we've been having!

All of the images were snipped from the DSP, except for the sweet and simple sentiment.  If you haven't noticed, I LOVE DSP that has cute images to fussy cut!

The Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder added some fun texture and a few Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems added just the right amount of sparkle!

Who will you making a card for and mailing it to today?

Happy Stamping!
