#TGIFC256 Suite Inspiration

Happy Friday stampers! Who is ready for an all new TGIF Challenges to help distract them for all of the chaos in our world right now?  I know I am!  Join us as we have fun with the Best Dressed Suite!

Being the mom of 3 boys, I am not much of a girly-girl momma, BUT I love the Best Dressed DSP!  The floral patterns are my favorite, but the flip side patterns are perfect for my love of fussy cutting!

I have been focusing on "just a note" or "thinking of you" cards to send out to our staff during our school closures to let them know that we are all thinking of them and appreciate all of the work they are still putting in with our kiddos out of the classroom. This sentiment from Butterfly Gala was just what these beautiful flowers needed.  I can't wait to send this out to one of our teachers next week!

The So Very Vellum Specialty DSP paired up beautifully with the Best Dressed DSP!  I'm hoping we see more vellum like this in the future!

Even though I am a boy mom, I still love me a fun pair of shoes and some fun cosmetics!  These images were so much fun to cut out and the sentiment, also from Butterfly Gala, was just perfect!  I love that you can coordinate all of our products!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Purple Posey, Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White, Best Dressed DSP, So Very Vellum DSP

Ink ~ Blackberry Bliss

Stamp Set ~ Butterfly Gala

Other Supplies ~ Layering Circles Dies, 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots, Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots

During these times of uncertainty, I am so thankful for a creative outlet to help take my mind off of everything that is happening around us!  I hope you are doing well during this time!

Happy Stamping!

Flowering Foils Congratulations ~ HSSSC #335

It's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge...Happy Tuesday!

I am so thankful for this hobby of mine that I love so much.  Spending a little bit of time in my craft room each day is a great distraction from everything that is happening in our world.

I received a box of a few more fun Occasions and Sale-A-Bration items last Friday...just in time to use the beautiful Flowering Foils for todays sketch!

I fussy cut these gorgeous foiled flowers and added some color with my Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  The So Very Vellum Specialty DSP paired up with these flowers beautifully.  I added a layer of Petal Pink embossed with Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder.  I wrapped it up with Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon, which I colored with the Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blend and added a little Champagne Rhinestones bling.  A simple Congratulations from Peaceful Moments stamp set was the perfect final touch.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink, Whisper White, Flowering Foils Specialty DSP, So Very Vellum Specialty DSP

Ink ~ Petal Pink, Stampin' Blends:  Petal Pink, Old Olive

Stamp Set ~ Peaceful Moments

Other Supplies ~ Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon, Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, Champagne Rhinestones

As of today, kids in our local school district are out of school for at least the next 6 weeks.  It is a time of serious uncertainty for our students, staff and parents...but I know that we will all get though it together!

I hope you are all doing well in your areas and stay healthy.  Stay home and stamp the days away!

Happy Stamping!
