Once An Artisan, Always An Artisan

 Last week at OnStage in Raleigh, past and present Artisan's met up for hugs, laughs and swaps.  This was my favorite moment of the week!

I used the Online Exclusives You Are Remarkable and Painted Stripes stamp sets for my card.  Bright and cheerful colors were a must...Petunia Pop, Lemon Lime Twist and, my favorite, Coastal Cabana.

This sentiment was absolutely perfect for all of my talented and crafty friends...they make my world a happier place!

Some Lemon Lime Twist Painted Stripes and some heat embossed splatters created a fun background for these pretty flowers.

Look at all of these beautiful, talented, loving and caring friends...it was sooooo good to see all of them! Once an Artisan, always an Artisan!

Happy Stamping!

Just a Little Thank You

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  This one is full of beautiful images that are certain to inspire you!

I was inspired by the pretty blue mushroom in the image, so of course I had to use the Terrific Toadstools.  The mushroom tops were inked in Boho Blue and the stems in Basic Beige.

I initially stamped the mound in Pecan Pie...not the best choice of colors!  My husband, who hates mushrooms, is always quick to remind me that mushrooms grow best in poo! After I good laugh, I quickly changed the color out to Soft Sea Foam. Much better!

Perennial Postage dies added a fun little frame to this magical fairy mushrooms.  I love this color combo...very spring-y!

Join in the fun and play along with us.

Happy Stamping!

Textured Appreciation

Happy Friday from Raleigh, NC!  I am here with 2000+ stampers for OnStage and can't wait to meet up with some of my TGIF Challenges friends in person!

We might be away playing, but we are still crafting along with this week's sketch challenge!  I have one more card to share with the Textured Notes bundle.

I love the black and white patterns in the Botanical Textures DSP, especially with the bright pop of Lemon Lime Twist!

I added more texture to this bundle with the new Mini Corrugated and Exposed Brick 3D embossing folders. 

Short, sweet and simple post today...we have a day packed full of fun ahead of us!

Happy Stamping!

Textured Best

Happy Monday stampin' friends!  How many of you are getting ready to attend OnStage later this week?  I'll be there and I hope to get to see some of you!  I'll be joining several of my Monday Montage friends in North Carolina and I can't wait to see all of them!

Today I'm sharing a card created with the newly release Online Exclusive Botanical Textures Suite.  If you love neutral colors and tons of texture, this suite is for you!

I die cut 3 rectangles using the Textured Notes dies and Woven Textures DSP.  Then I stamped various images from the Texture Notes stamp set in shades of Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie.

I stamped more leaves on the Basic White card front to add just a bit more color. A little strip of the beautiful black and white Botanical Textures DSP gives the perfect pop of boldness to the neutral colors.  The White Ribbon and Linen Tread add just a bit more texture to the project, along with the Neutral Matte Dots.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Monday Montage creations in our Instagram Hop.  You can start with me at @craftsomnia and hop your way though all of the amazing creativity!

Happy Stamping!

Lovely Garden

Hooray for Tuesday and an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge.

Today I'm sharing a card created with the new Lovely Garden Suite Collection.  I love flowers as much as I love stamps and hydrangeas are some of my favorites!

These beautiful blooms were fussy cut from the Lovely Garden DSP.  In addition to the pretty floral patterns, there are some pretty awesome black and white pattens of paper in this pack.  I love black and white with a pop of color!

The Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet ribbon is so soft and pretty!  This is a suite that you won't want to miss out on!

Happy Stamping!
