Dashing Dachshund Birthday Wishes

I had a box of fresh, new preorder stamping goodies waiting for me when I got home on Friday, and finally found time dig into them and play along with the latest Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

If you know me, you know I can't resit anything dog related or any stamped image that I can color...Long Time No See was a must have for me!  This adorable stamp set is coming out next the next Online Exclusives release...you're going to love it!

This cute little doggie reminds me of my own Holly doggie...too cute!  I gave this adorable Dachshund a Lemon Lime Twist and Strawberry Slush sweater.  She looks so cozy!

This fun pattern of Florals in Bloom DSP was the perfect way to add some more Strawberry Slush color to the card, along with a few pops of Lemon Lime Twist to complete the sketch.  I added some lines to the Basic White top, using my trusty Simply Scored Scoring Tool.

Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Happy Stamping!

 

Delightful Mixed Floral Wishes

This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge is FULL of so much beautiful inspiration!  From beautiful colors to gorgeous photos, there are so many possibilities!

I was drawn to the floral images and shades of pinks and purples...take a look!

I opted for a Fresh Freesia card base, with some Petunia Pop and Bubble Bath accent layers.  I embossed the Fresh Freesia card front with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I stamped an Elements of Text image in Petunia Pop on a piece of Basic White, tearing the edge to add a bit more texture.

Delightful Wishes helped to create the perfect sentiment to go along with the Mixed Florals flowers.  With all of the layers and textures, no extra embellishments were needed!

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

Happy Stamping!

Thoughtful Mail It Monday

It's Mail It Monday!!  Join us over on Instagram to see what everyone is mailing out today!

I'm mailing out this Textured Notes beauty today and playing along with this month's  #CreativeChallengeSU. Secret Sea has quickly become my favorite new In Color...my apologies in advance for using it all the time!

Also inspired by the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge...I just went with a standard card rather than a square.

Elements of Text created the perfect background for the bright foliage in shades of Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist.

I added a pop of pink with a Strawberry Slush sentiment and a few In Color Flat Pearls.  Loving this color combo!

Happy Stamping!

Colorful Sunshine Vibes

We made it to Friday...woohoo!  That means it's time for an all new TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!

I had some fun with the stamped images from Sunshine Vibes with this color challenge.  I stamped and fussy cut one of the plant images to give the card a little dimension...what a difference it made!  I love how just one little stepped up element can totally change a card.

The Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder added some awesome texture to the Basic Black card stock.  Don't you love how the Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist add a fun burst of color?

Join along in the fun and play along!

Happy Monday friends!  It's a Monday Montage week...go check out our InstaHop and see all of the amazing projects the team has created!

Today I am sharing a very special graduation card created to honor a beautiful girl who was taken from this earth far too soon.  

When my dear friend asked me to make this card for her family, in honor of her niece, I knew I wanted to use the doves from the soon to be release Peace on Earth bundle.

I paired these beautiful doves up with the Everyday Arches and Cap & Gown stamp sets. A simple card that is filled with so much honor and love...this is my why for card making.

Wishing you all a Happy Monday!

Happy Stamping!
