Fall on the Farm

Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge!

I used these fall friendly colors for a Pretty Peacock tractor full of pumpkins and hay.  Sweet and simple, yet oh-so-cute!

More Than Autumn helped with the perfect sentiment in the fluffy white clouds and the Sunshine Vibes sunburst gives off all of the Indian summer vibes!

A Little Kindness...

...makes a big difference.

Welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  This challenge has all of the fall feels...perfect for the start of September.

The Sunflower 3D embossing folder is an absolute favorite of mine and I'm so happy it's back in stock!  Order yours before today!

I took my Stampin' Blends to an embossed piece of Basic White and had a good session of color therapy.  Darling Duckling, Lemon Lime Twist, Cloud Cover and Pecan Pie are so gorgeous together.

I used the Label Me Grateful bundle to create the sentiment and added embellishments.  A little pop of Secret Sea was just what this card needed.

I hope you'll join us in kicking off September and sharing your creativity!

Spooky Halloween Sketch

Welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge.  You can never go wrong with starting your project with a good sketch!

I decided to flip the sketch and create with the Spooky Halloween bundle.  These little furry friends are too cute to be spooky!  I love the bats in this set of dies and the fence is a fun addition as well!

I colored the not-so-spooky kitty and puppy with Stampin' Blends and added a heat embossed sentiment, along with a few Shimmer Star Foam Stickers.

Join in the fun and play along!

I used the Everyday You & Me bundle in the gorgeous shades of Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, Blackberry Bliss and just a touch of Old Olive.  Aren't these colors so pretty together?!?

I love this sentiment...the font is so good!  There is just something about the bigger sentiments that always call my name.  We need more of these, right?

Petal Pink Coneflower Thanks

A sketch is my favorite way to start the creative process for a card.  I love the simplicity of this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

My coneflowers are in full bloom right now and I have a Petal Pink variety that I absolutely love! They helped to inspired this card with the beautiful Coneflower Celebrations bundle.

Isn't this flower so pretty!  I love the texture and dimension of the dies.  And the fun circle strips are the best!  A sweet little bow with a Thank You sentiment and a few Brushed Brass Butterflies were the only embellishments needed for this sweet and simple card.

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!

Turtle-y Sweet Father's Day

It's time for the latest and greatest Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

With Father's Day right around the corner, I made this funny card with the Turtle-y Cute DSP.

As soon as I saw this Turtle chef, I knew I wanted to use him for a Father's Day card. He just makes me smile!

I used a variety of patterns of DSP, along with some Turtle-y Sweet Crushed Curry Two-Tone Cardstock  to play along with this sketch.  I love the Turtle Textures embossing folder!

She's and He's The Greatest stamp sets paired up for the Happy Father's Day greeting.  So much fun!

Friends Are The Family...

It's time for a pretty new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge! 

I had some fun with some new products for this card!

The You are Remarkable flowers are so pretty stamped in Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam. A Summer Splash card base with a fun Glass & Gardens embossed layer adds a big pop of color.  I added a strip of Fresh Freesia Beautiful Bokeh along with a strip of Soft Sea Foam, stamped tone on tone with the floral image to tie the colors all together. 

 An Around It All circle of Botanical Textures was the perfect background for this bouquet of flowers. I colored the leaves in Soft Sea Foam and added a few Fresh Freesia dots as well. 

I love this sentiment from Pattern of Friendship.  Friends are the family you choose for yourself.  I know just who this card is being sent to!  The Shades of Green Hexagons were perfect the perfect way to finish off this card...just the right amount of bling!

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!

For The Books - Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #461

I always love a good sketch and this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge is one that everyone is going to love!  This sketch allows you to have all kinds of fun with layers!

I'm trying to give some love to all of my Last Chance stamp sets and papers.  I'm so sad that For the Books and Country Flowers aren't sticking around longer.  I love how well these two stamp sets worked together!

The fun colored books matched up with the layers of Summer Splash and Azure Afternoon.  And the printed pattern of Nature's Sweetness DSP was the perfect background for this book-loving card!

This card is perfect as we near the end of the school year.  Now I need to decide which co-worker I'm going to send this to before the school year is over!

I hope you'll join along in the fun with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

Hand Stamped Note of Appreciation

It's time for an all new color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

I was a bit stumped with this color combo at first, but as soon as I pulled out the ink pads, I instantly knew I needed to use the Texture Notes bundle.  These earthly colors are beautiful with this stamp set!

I stamped the leaf images in Pretty Peacock and Summer Splash, then put my snips to work...fussy cutting is one of my favorite crafty things to do! The wicker round was stamped in Pecan Pie, which was the perfect centerpiece for the greenery.

A couple of Textured Notes die cut Pecan Pie rectangles added a bit more color and texture to the card, along with a die cut card front.  A Pretty Peacock card base and sentiment brought a bit of boldness to the card.  And I can't forget the Summer Splash Resin Dots!

Join along in the colorful fun!

Just a Little Thank You

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  This one is full of beautiful images that are certain to inspire you!

I was inspired by the pretty blue mushroom in the image, so of course I had to use the Terrific Toadstools.  The mushroom tops were inked in Boho Blue and the stems in Basic Beige.

I initially stamped the mound in Pecan Pie...not the best choice of colors!  My husband, who hates mushrooms, is always quick to remind me that mushrooms grow best in poo! After I good laugh, I quickly changed the color out to Soft Sea Foam. Much better!

Perennial Postage dies added a fun little frame to this magical fairy mushrooms.  I love this color combo...very spring-y!

Lovely Garden

Hooray for Tuesday and an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge.

Today I'm sharing a card created with the new Lovely Garden Suite Collection.  I love flowers as much as I love stamps and hydrangeas are some of my favorites!

These beautiful blooms were fussy cut from the Lovely Garden DSP.  In addition to the pretty floral patterns, there are some pretty awesome black and white pattens of paper in this pack.  I love black and white with a pop of color!

The Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet ribbon is so soft and pretty!  This is a suite that you won't want to miss out on!

Ocean of Thanks

This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge feels like summer!  I don't know about you, but I am ready for the cold and snow to go away and make way for summer sunshine!

 A mixture of products from the Friends of the Ocean suite were perfect for this color combo!  I love how the Soft Waves 3D embossing folder makes you feel like you are right in the water at the beach!

I love that the Ocean Friends Dies coordinate with the Designer Series Paper...perfect for times that I'm too lazy to stamp!

Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper for the birthday card win...again!  I am loving this paper for so many of my birthday card creations.  The die cut pieces help bring cards together in no time!

Bee Mine

This Tuesday brings us an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

I am absolutely loving the new color release of the Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper. These little bees are as sweet as can be!

I stamped the hearts to go along with the sketch design then brought in a couple fussy cut bumble bees. Some buzzy little loops were stamped in Pool Party and the Bee Mine sentiment was stamped in Petunia Pop on a little strip of Bubble Bath.

I love the striped pattern peeking out from the edges.  All of the patterns together are so much fun!

Colorful Cake Celebrations

The fun color challenges continue with the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  These colors make me happy...especially during the dreary days of winter!

I finally got to play with the Online Exclusives Cake Celebrations bundle.  I love this cake!

I die cut both layers from Basic Beige, stamping the layers of frosting in the same color.  Each layer was topped with Very Vanilla...quite fitting for a cake!

I stamped the flowers in the challenge colors of Highland Heather, Petunia Pop and Lemon Lime Twist.  I randomly stamped Celebrate in Highland Heather, along with some Petunia Pop starbursts.

I tend to create a lot of birthday cards this time of year to try to stay ahead.  I will be using this bundle again for sure!

Happy Stamping!
