Loved Beyond Measure

I just had to use the beautiful Flight & Airy DSP bird for this weeks TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge.  This paper is gorgeous and I could spend hours fussy cutting all of the beautiful birds!  This little birdie perched in the pretty little tree was perfect for the sketch.

I traded out the circles for the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.  I embossed each punched piece with the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder.  I love how it kind of ties in with the leafy Lost Lagoon patterned paper.

The Perennial Postage sentiment was heat embossed in white on a piece of Pecan Pie and tucked in amongst the tree branches.  It was meant to be!

There is still a little bit of time left to earn the Flight & Airy DSP for FREE during Sale-a-Bration!  Don't miss out!

Happy Stamping!

Perennial Friendship

A sketch challenge is my favorite way to start a card and this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge is a great one!

I used this sketch to showcase the beautiful Perennial Lavender DSP.  I love the Crumb Cake with all of the different shades of purple and green!

I stamped a couple stems of lavender in shades of Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and bundled them together with some Fresh Freesia, Basic White and Pretty Peacock foliage.  They were tied together with a piece of Crumb Cake Bakers Twine.

A sweet little Perennial Postage sentiment and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were the finishing touches.  

Happy Stamping!

Rockin' and Rollin' Through Monday {Montage}

 

Hello friends!  The Monday Montage crew is back with another fantastic hop for you this week!  Hop along and see all that we have to share with you.

I have no musical talent what so ever, but I absolutely love the Rock & Roll Suite Collection.  The stamps, the dies, the awesome black and white Rock & Roll DSP and the amazing Lightening & Stars embellishments...they are all so good!

Anyone else flashback to middle school when you saw the boombox and mixed tape pattern of DSP?!? I love it so much I had to use it on both cards! Sticking with the colors of the Lightening & Stars embellishments, I layered Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana, topping with some strips of the amazing DSP.  The guitar pick was die cut from another fun pattern and topped with the retro microphone.  Thanks for being an icon felt like the perfect sentiment for this card!

Of course I had to color the cool guitar...a pop of Parakeet Party was just right for a Rock & Roll Birthday!  I heat embossed the sentiment in black on Costal Cabana and  die cut another guitar pick.  I layered another pattern of DSP behind to help it stand out just a bit more.  A few Basic Black spatters and some white stars were all that was needed to finish the card off.

Let's see what Cathy has in store for us next! I guarantee you are going to love it!

Happy Stamping!

Love Letters

We made it through the longest month in history...good-bye January and hello February!  This weeks TGIF Challenges Color Challenge is the perfect way to kick off the month made for love letters!

I'll be totally honest...I struggled with this color combo!  But as I was watching a show, I was inspired by the red typewriter one of the character was using...too cute! I used the new Mini Alphabet Dies to spell out LOVE, using the heart from Just My Type for the O.  I was also going to spell out LETTERS, but it looked too clunky, so I opted for little stamped letters.  Love letters...cute, right?!?

I layered some Real Red and Bubble Bath to add a bit more pop of color to the Very Vanilla.  And of course a few Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to finish it off.  Not my favorite card I've ever made, but it's kind of growing on me.

Come play along with us! We always love to see what you are inspired to create!

Happy Stamping!

Life is Sweeter With Watermelon

Our little town has been covered in a blanket of fog for weeks!  I am beyond ready for some sunshine and warmth!  Since we still have a couple months of winter yuck, I'll find joy in creating some visions of summer with Watercolor Melon and the latest Global Design Project Sketch.

I stamped the whole watermelon in Garden Green, then went over the entire image with the dark Parakeet Party Stampin' Blends. Thanks for the fun tip Charlet! (Check out her fun tip over on Instagram @I.heart.stamps) The slices were stamped in Sweet Sorbet with a Garden Green rind and some Tuxedo Black Memento Seeds.

This sentiment from Share a Milkshake was perfect for some sweet, juicy watermelon!  The adorable little Sweet Sorbet floral pattern of Bee Mine DSP was just right for the tag, especially with some of the yellow and white Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers embellishments.

 

I added a few Parakeet Party splatters to the Basic White layer and stamped some more seeds on the Sweet Sorbet card base.  So deliciously sweet!!!

Happy Stamping!
