Beautifully Dainty Carrots

Happy Friday stampers!  It's time for some Sale-A-Bration fun at TGIF Challenges this week!  

I had a hard time picking just one of the MANY awesome products, so I decided to do a Sale-A-Bration-Mash-Up!

I started out with the Thanks A Bunch carrots, stamping them in Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss with Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green tops. After fussy cutting and layering the carrots, I decided they needed a bit more.  My snips came back out and I snipped a few of the dainty blooms from the Dainty Flowers DSP to tuck in along the tops of the carrots.

The sentiments from Thanks A Bunch weren't feeling quite "dainty" enough to go along with my "dainty" theme, so I searched other Sale-a-Bration stamp sets to find the perfect sentiment.  The simple Thank You from Beautifully Happy was just what this card needed! 

I mixed couple more patterns of Dainty Flowers for a fresh spring-inspired layout and topped the carrots off with a bow from the County Wreaths dies. One simple Fresh Freesia Opaque Gem was the only embellishment needed!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you will join along in the fun this week and share your favorite Sale-a-Bration products.

Happy Stamping!

Hello, Irresistible Blooms

Hooray, it's Friday!  Not only have we almost made it to the weekend, but it's also time for an all new TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge!

My favorite delivery driver delivered a box full of new goodies last night, including the beautiful Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection that I was able to pre-order.  This Online Exclusive collection will be available to customers beginning March 1st.  Mark your calendar now because you are going to want to add this to your crafty collection!

I pulled some of the Hello, Irresistible DSP in shades of Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink and Daffodil Delight.  There are other gorgeous colors in this pack of paper, some of which are returning favorites.  So exciting!

I embossed two of the Irresistible Blooms on a piece of DSP, cutting them out with the coordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies.  A bit of Distress Gold was brought in with the leaves and the Loose Frosted Dots added just the right amount of bling.

This suite is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to share more sneak peeks with you!

Have a fabulous weekend and happy stamping!

A Little Note of Thanks

We are inching closer to spring with each passing day.  I'm loving that the days are getting a little longer each day and the sun is making an appearance more and more. Maybe if I keep stamping some cheerful, spring-inspired cards, spring will come early! 

Inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge, it was was easy to find all of the right stamps, ink and paper to go along with the sketch. 

The Rain or Shine DSP provided the perfect spring sky for a Rays of Light sunburst and the cutest Sweet Songbird in its nest! I hung the sentiment from the tree branch...how cute is that?

I'm wondering why it took me so long to use the absolutely adorable Fun Flower Resin Shapes.  They are so cute and were perfect to tuck in amongst the leaves in the tree.  Now to create another card to use these on!

Hope you are all having a great week so far!

Happy Stamping!

Country Lane Friendship

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge.

Not only is Valentine's Day quickly approaching, but so is Galentine's Day! This sweet Country Bouquet sentiment is perfect for your favorite Galentine!

It's not often that I go with colors from the Subtle collection, but these Country Floral Lane DSP patterns were just too cute!  Thanks to this fun paper, the only stamping required was for the sweet sentiment.

The leaves and hearts were punched right from another pattern of Country Floral Lane and the bicycle was fussy cut.  A small Stylish Shapes circle helped the cut pieces to stand out a bit and a few Solid Faceted Gems finished things off.

Cute, quick and easy...my favorite kind of card some days!

Join along in the fun and share your take on this weeks sketch challenge.

Happy Stamping!

Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration

It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop and we're so happy to have you hop along with us!

I'm soaking up every last moment of Sale-a-Bration with today's cards. I paired up Beautifully Happy with two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration DSP's...Dandy Designs and  Favored Flowers.  

Isn't it so cool to see how different two cards can be when you use the same stamp set and sketch, but totally different DSP?!?

I used Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green for these Beautifully Happy blooms.  I fussy cut the image, cutting off one of the leaves and stem.  The fun and cheerful patterns of Dandy Designs makes this an extra happy Happy Birthday card!

I pulled Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow from the Favored Flowers DSP to create more of a elegant chic feel for this next card.

Don't stop here...keep on hopping to see what Cathy of Sugar Shack Designs has to share with us.

Or if you missed Wendy of Wickedly Wonderful Creations, hop on back to check out what she has for us!

Happy Stamping!
