Simple Stippled Birthday ~ HSSCC185

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and this week we have a color challenge for you! 

I kind of cheated (just a little) and used a couple other colors here...can you forgive me?!?!  I have to say, I love a little grunge with pretty flowers and I am super-duper sad that Off the Grid is going away :-(  Be warned...you may see it a lot in the next few weeks!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White

Ink ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding

Stamp Sets ~ Stippled Blossoms, Off the Grid, Memorable Moments

 

I'm anxiously awaiting a delivery from my favorite man in brown this afternoon...NEW stamps will soon be in the house!!!   I see a late night of stamping ahead of me :-)

 

Now head on over to check out the rest of the amazing creations from the rest of the design team!

 

Happy Stamping!

Stippled Blossoms for Mom

It's hard to believe Mother's Days is just a month away!  Hopefully this means some warmer weather will soon be on its way as well.

I visited Try Stampin' on Tuesday for a sketch idea and I really like this weeks sketch.  It's a simple sketch that you can either keep as such or really dress it up!

I chose to keep mine kind of simple...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Twitterpated DSP

Ink ~ Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride (retired color), Wild Wasabi, Certainly Celery

Stamp Sets ~ Stippled Blossoms, Wonderful Mother

Other Supplies ~ 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Perfect Pennants Bigz

I have to say that Stippled Blossoms is one of my favorite flower sets...so easy to use and so pretty! 

Off to enjoy a movie and pizza night with my boys!

Happy Stamping!!

Everything Will Be Ok...

Losing a loved one is never easy, no matter what the circumstances may be.  But when a loved one has been suffering, it is almost a blessing when their time with us is up.  One of my friends lost her mom last week after battling a long illness.  I am hoping my friend finds comfort in knowing that her mom is no longer suffering and is finally at peace. 

I found a simple sketch over at Clean and Simple Stamping and I thought it would make for a perfect sympathy card. 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Perfect Plum, Whisper White

Ink ~ Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum, Lucky Limeade, Always Artichoke

Stamp Sets ~ Stippled Blossoms, Pursuit of Happiness

Other Supplies ~ Simply Scored Scoring Tool

It's not very often that I create a card with no added embellishments (unless you count the scoring ;)) and I am really happy with how this turned out.  Very simple, but pretty...just what I wanted for this card. 

This is the first time I've used a sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping, but I will be back for sure!

Be sure to check back on Thursday for the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop! 
Happy Stamping!
