Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #287

Happy Tuesday stamping friends!  I hope your week is off to a good start!  I am still trying to recover from all of the OnStage fun from last weekend!  I am always so full of inspiration after attending Stampin' Up! events and can't wait to get in my craft room to play!

 

While I do have some new stuff just waiting to be inked up, I'm still giving some love to some older sets.  This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge inspired me to create a cheerful little card for a friend.

 

Wood Words has been my go to stamp set lately.  I love the geometrical images and the sentiments! 

 

 Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky, Whisper White

Ink ~ Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky, Flirty Flamingo

Stamp Set ~ Wood Words

Other Supplies ~ Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon, Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder

 

Did you hear that Soft Sky is a retiring color?!?!  I'm kind of sad about that.  But I'm VERY excited about all of the amazing NEW colors that are coming out with our color refresh!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope to be sharing some of my display samples later this week, so be sure to check back.

 

Happy Stamping!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #284

Happy Tuesday stampers!  I don't know about you, but my Monday FLEW by and I am okay with that!  It's that crazy time of year where my twins are starting baseball and wrapping up basketball...that means I'm running from one practice to the next and trying to get kids fed in between, then back home and in bed at a decent hour.  Thankfully the double practices are only for two weeks...I can do it!

With all of the craziness of sports, I did manage to get some stamping time in, which is my only saving grace!  Without stamping, I'd likely be in a crazed state of mind!  Thank goodness for this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge...the bright and cheerful colors are JUST what I needed!

I pulled out an older stamp set for this challenge and had some fun mixing in some new DSP.  I LOVE it when that happens :-)

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Tutti-frutti DSP

Ink ~ Tranquil Tide, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight

Stamp Set ~ Lots of Love

Other Supplies ~ Stitched Shapes Framelits, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Okay, who else LOVES to fussy cut?  I know it can sometimes be time consuming, but it is such a calming activity for me.  Perfect for the end of the day when I am trying to shut my mind off from everything that has happened during the day.  

Here's to a great day!!

Happy Stamping!
