Happy Gingerbread Christmas Wishes ~ #HSSIC379

Hi stampers!  Welcome to the last Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge of 2021.  We'll be taking the rest of the month off to enjoy time with family and friends, but we'll be back in January with all new challenges!

We're ending the year with an Inspiration Challenge.  I love all of these inspiring images and can't wait to see what everyone creates!

I was drawn to the cute hanging gingerbread ornaments and quickly pulled out the adorable Gingerbread & Peppermint 6"x6" DSP.  I only bought the paper from this suite, but with all of the cute images in this little pack of paper, you can make do without anything else!

I fussy cut a few of the tiny gingerbread images and hung them like ornaments.  Aren't they the cutest?  Some Gingerbread & Peppermint patterns were added in the background and a bright Real Red card base held it all together.

I used Christmas to Remember and Words of cheer, along with the Christmas Cheer dies to create a very HAPPY Christmas greeting!  And what's a Christmas card without some Real Red Rhinestones?!?!

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

Happy Stamping!

Cheerful Birthday Wishes

Happy Thursday stampers!

The Words of Cheer bundle has been getting a lot of use the past few weeks.  I love how versatile this bundle is and that it can be used for more than just Christmas creations!  

A dear friend celebrated her birthday over Thanksgiving weekend and I created this card for her husband to give to her.  I haven't made a ton of slimline cards, but after making this one I will certainly be making more!  A Night of Navy card base, a Bark embossed piece of Misty Moonlight and a little bit of Basic White peeking out created a beautiful card front to work with.

I stamped and die-cut the floral image twice, coloring it in shades of Petal Pink, Misty Moonlight, Soft Sea Foam and So Saffron.  I brushed the flowers with a little bit of Wink of Stella for the softest shimmer.

I die-cut Happy from a piece of Night of Navy and the Happy background die from a piece of Cork Speciality Paper.  I love the extra detail from the Cork Paper...so much so that I added a few Cork flowers.  I stamped one of the images from Happiest of Birthday's and cut the word Birthday out to add.  I wrapped it all up with a simple Linen Thread bow.

I'm not quite ready to put this beautiful bundle away yet, so be watching for another creation or two before the Christmas season is over.

Happy Stamping!

Happy Christmas Wishes ~ HSSSC#337

Hello friends!  Welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge!

I love the panels in the sketch and the options are endless for the circle and banner.    I used Whimsy & Wonder DSP for the panels.  Don't you just love these colors together?  A Wonderful Snowflake iridescent foil snowflake was a MUST to go along with this sketch.  A couple fussy cut ornaments from another sheet of DSP added just a bit more of shimmery joy!

The Christmas Cheer Dies were used in place of the banner for a Happy Christmas.  A couple of Linen Thread bows helped to hang the ornaments and a few Opal Rounds created just the right amount of sparkle.

After a horribly long day of flight delays on my return trip from Salt Lake City, I was so happy to spend some time in my craft room for some much needed stamp therapy.  Even though my trip home was a bit more eventful than I had hoped, it was well worth it to spend some time with some of my favorite stamping people!

I hope you'll join along in this weeks sketch challenge! We always love to see what you create!

Happy Stamping!
