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!

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 Impressions Abloom

 Happy Saturday friends!  I think I am finally recovered from my time at OnStage.  Between the time change and catching up on things at work and home, I was in a bit of a fog most of the week!  Please tell me I'm not alone...

I'm happy to be back in my craft room and diving in to some of the products we received at OnStage.  I participated in OnStage After Hours and chose the Impressions Abloom bundle...I'm so happy I did! (But those turtles are growing on me!)

Inspired by the latest Freshly Made Sketches sketch, I die cut a few of the Impressions Abloom flowers. The Painted Strips background stamp, once again, helped to complete the sketch.  Have you noticed how much I love this background stamp?

The oval shaped dies that are included in this bundle are awesome!  The stitched outer ring adds so much!  And the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack are so good!  

When you attend OnStage events, you also have the opportunity to order select items from the Product Purchase Premier.  My order arrived yesterday, just in time for the weekend.  Be on the lookout for more sneak peeks of new products!

Happy Stamping!
