Otterly Amazing

I always love a good sketch to play along with and this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge is a fun one!

I've got one more card to share from the Otterly Amazing bundle.  This time I focused on the stamped images and my coloring heart is happy!

I stamped the otters in Memento and colored them with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends, along with Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.

I love this Balmy Blue water pattern of Otterly Adorable DSP is so calming.  A few Balmy Blue bubbles were stamped on the DSP.  The die cut log and So Swirly Embossing folder added just the right amount of texture.

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share you creation with us!

Happy Stamping!

Merry Christmoose

 Happy Monday friends!  Today I'm sharing one of the cutest critters from the new Christmas Friends stamp set...an ice skating moose!  I may have bought this stamp set just for the moose!

Isn't he the cutest?!?  I stamped this jolly guy in Memento and colored him Pecan Pie.  His sweet little nose and antlers were colored with Crumb Cake and I used Real Red and Granny Apple Green for his cozy scarf and socks.  And I can't forget the Pebbled Path hooves.

This great circle die comes with the coordinating Christmas Friends Dies, which was perfect to complete the sketch for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  Take a Bow Designer Series Paper is my holiday Mini Catalog favorite...I love the Bright and Regal traditional Christmas colors!

I hope you all have a fabulous week!

Happy Stamping!

Make A Splash

Anyone else have to have ALL of the ocean and beach themed stamp sets?  I know I do, which is why I could not resist the adorable Friendly Fins bundle!  This hammer-head shark and dolphin are the cutest and I love the coral!

I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch to get started on this card.  Using the Silicon Mat, I smeared some Summer Splash ink and spritzed it with some water, then "smooshed" the Stylish Shapes Circle in the ink to create the perfect ocean for these Friendly Fins.  I tucked some of the coral and seaweed behind the circle to go along with the sketch, adding another piece on the bottom half as well.

The So Swirly Embossing Folder added some fun texture, reminding me of the ocean waves.

I can't wait to create more with this super cute bundle!  

Happy Stamping!

Attention Shoppers

Attention Shoppers...it's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiment Color Challenge!

These colors were so much fun to use with the adorable new Attention Shoppers bundle!  I filled the shopping cart full of fun items that are perfect for a birthday celebration!

This cute pattern from the Country Lace DSP was perfect to go along with this color combo!  And a simple little Petal Pink bit of ribbon topped with a white bakers twine bow was the cutest final touch.

Joy of Noel Around the World

 

Welcome to October's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month we have a sketch that we are all playing along with.  Be prepared for a hop full of amazing projects!

I haven't been able to put the Joy of Noel bundle away yet...it's just so beautiful and a true joy to create with!  

I brought in the Christmas Classics Dies today to go along with the sketch.  I always tend to add more layers when it comes to Christmas cards.  Do you do the same?  I used both the Joy of Christmas and Joyful DSP, along with the amazing new Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper. The adhesive back is perfect for the little accent dies to add just a bit of glimmer and bling.

I love the buffalo check paired up with the gold and Cherry Cobbler holly pattern.  Some Shaded spruce and Old Olive bring all of the traditional colors of Christmas to life.  I am not even close to ready for Christmas, but this beautiful suite certainly helps!

Rollin' Around the Roller Rink

Who remembers rolling around the roller rink on Friday nights in middle school?  It was actually the ice rink for me, but we always loved when they dimmed the lights and turned on the disco ball!

Curved Occasions is such a fun stamp set and has a little something for every occasion!

This weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge was the perfect sketch to bring the disco ball and skates together in some fun and retro colors!

Parakeet Party, Berry Burst, Azure Afternoon and Berry Burst...sooo good together! These colors have a definite Barbie vibe to them too.  So many childhood memories wrapped up in this stamp set!

Roller skating isn't just for the girls! Pumpkin Pie, Parakeet Party, Azure Afternoon and Daffodil Delight have an 80's vibe for sure!  The stars from Reach for the Stars dies match up perfectly with the disco ball starts.  I love finding multiple uses for our products!

I hope you are rolling through the week with a smile on your face!

Happy Stamping!

Kind People

We're back with an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Hop along with us and get your fill of creative inspiration!

I pulled out a favorite stamp set from the Annual Catalog that I haven't used in a while.  I forgot just how beautiful Simply Succulents stamp set it, especially paired up with the coordinating Potted Succulents Dies.

Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia, Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Soft Succulent added some beautiful color to these desert plants, complete with a Smoky Slate Pot.

The delicate succulent die is gorgeous!  I stared out with white on white, but ended up tucking a piece of Soft Succulent in between for just a bit more color.  

I'm think I'm going to have to play with this stamp set a bit more before I put it away!

Hop on over to the next blog...

...or take a step back! 

Either way, make your way all the way through!

Happy Stamping!
