One Layer Wonder

How many of you have trouble stopping at just one layer when you make a card?  It is the HARDEST thing for me!  I want to add more layers, more ribbon, more bling.  But there are times where I can stay in control and create a card with just one layer and I end up really liking it.

The girls over at SSINK are sharing some single layer cards today to give you some great ideas to create your own One Layer Wonder.

I pulled out my Endless Wishes stamp set (sooo happy this one carried over!) and made this simple, one layer card.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, All is Calm DSP (on envelope)

Ink ~ Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky

Stamp Set ~ Endless Wishes

Other Supplies ~ Frosted Sequins

 

Embellishments don't count as a layer, right?!?!   I won't tell if you don't tell!

 

Be sure to join us bright and early tomorrow morning for the SSINK Blog Hop...we're getting ready for fall!

 

Happy Stamping!



Choose Thoughtfulness

Good morning friends and welcome to a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge!

Sadly, the past few weeks have been a little rough...lost two amazing people in my life.  Life is such a precious gift...

I never like having to make sympathy cards, but it brings a little happiness to my heart knowing that those who receive them will {hopefully} feel a little bit of love when they open the envelope.

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ Hello Honey, Marina Mist, Night of Navy

Stamp Set ~ Choose Happiness, A Dozen Thoughts

Other Supplies ~ 1/2" Circle Punch, Hello Honey Satin Ribbon

Happy Stamping!

 

Hello Fall

Hi friends...Happy Monday!  It's been a week since my last post...yikes!  This doesn't mean I haven' been creating, but it does mean that last week was insanely BUSY!  Between getting back from Disneyland and jumping right into the back to school routine, life was a bit more chaotic.  Now that we have our first week under our belts, things should be running a bit more smoothly...at least I hope ;-)

I am so not ready for summer to end, but the cooler mornings and evenings are a sure sign that fall is on its way.  I am a sun shine, warm weather kind of girl, but I will admit, I love the beginning of fall too.  The warm, bright colors of the changing leaves, pumpkins, apple cider...those things make me happy!

It's the second Monday of the month, which means it's time for a new sketch over at SSInkspiration.  And since fall is quickly creeping up on us, I decided it was high time I started creating some fall cards too!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry

Stamp Set ~ For All Things

Other Supplies ~ Linen Thread, Autumn Wooden Elements

 

Don't you just love that fun little wooden acorn?  And the warm fall colors?!?  Ok...I'm starting to let go of summer and embrace fall...lets just make sure it's a slow and gradual process, ok?!?

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  And be sure to check out all of the awesome creations from our design team and please join in the fun and play along!

 

Happy Stamping!



Bokeh Butterfly

Happy Labor Day Monday!!!  It's time for a new color challenge over at SSINKspiration and I really hope you all play along!

I tried out the Bokeh technique on this card and can't wait to try it again!  The softness this technique gives the card such a calming effect.  You can check out a fabulous video HERE. 

I also played along over at Freshly Made Sketches for a little sketch inspiration...love their clean and simple sketches!

Supplies Used:

Ink ~ Rich Razzleberry, Hello Honey, Calypso Coral

Stamp Sets ~ Kinda Eclectic, Feel Goods

Other Supplies ~ Pearl Basics Jewels, Hello Honey Satin Ribbon, Whisper White Bakers Twine, Butterfly Punches, Crystal Effects, Scallop Tag Topper Punch
