Hi Everyone, Flowers just make me happy, in real life and as stamp sets too, and Altenew makes some of the most beautiful. So, not surprisingly I feel head over heels in love with Altenew's Dainty Bouquet stamp set. Image and Inks Since this is a layering stamp set I started by selecting what colors of inks I wanted to use. For this image, I selected: Altenew's Silver Lake, Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Mountain Mist, and Volcanic Lake. After selecting the ink colors I followed the directions ...
Hi All, I absolutely love Christmas stamp sets but some years I just can't make enough cards in time to use all these cute stamps. This year I was pretty under-the-weather for all of December so I didn't get a chance to really make cards at all and one of my favorite stamps sets, Newton's Nook Designs' Festive Fawns, went unused. That is, until January when I created post-holiday Thank You cards. Images All of the cards below feature images from the Festive Fawns stamp set - sooo cute! I ...
Hi Everyone, I love making winter themed cards - there are so many adorable images out there! As I mentioned a few weeks ago I always need Thank You cards especially after the holidays, so, today I wanted to feature the adorable Newton's Nook Designs' Frosty Folks stamp set. Isn't it so darn cute?! Image I started by stamping the image onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts' Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder. To color the ...
Hi Everyone, I love floral images and last year Concord & 9th's Fine Line Florals stole my heart. Not only is this a beautiful image but I absolutely love that you can use the coordinating solid images for adding quick color. What I love even more is that the solid images are not fully solid but instead have very fine lines which gives the flowers a beautiful texture. Image and Coloring To start I stamped the main flower cluster twice onto Neenah Solar White, 80 lb, cardstock using Lawn ...
Hi Everyone, I don't know about you, but at the start of every new year I need a whole lot of Birthday and Thank You cards. Throughout the year I like to make other types of cards too but when January rolls around I know these two types are by far the ones I need the most. So, with that in mind I thought I'd post my first birthday card for 2020. Images For this lovely card I decided to pull out the Pretty Pink Posh Anemones stamp set - isn't it beautiful? I can't believe I haven't used it ...
Hi Everyone, I can't believe how fast time is flying by - Christmas is just around the corner - eep! Today I'm sharing the latest card I've made with Neat & Tangled's Oh Deer stamp set - these little deers are just too cute. If you are interested please check out my other two cards Oh Deer and Oh Deer and Oak Leaf.

Hi Everyone, I must confess that I have fallen in love with the Pinkfresh Studio's new dye inks and have been wanting to use them on everything. These inks are so lovely and produce the most beautiful results! Anywho, I've also wanted to use Simon Says Stamp's Lots of Snowflakes stamp set to make a Christmas card and thought these two products together would make a lovely pairing. Stamping To create this card, I started by stamping all of the snowflakes from the Lots of Snowflakes stamp ...
Hi Everyone! Today, I thought it would be fun to share a non-Christmas card with you. This super cute card features MFT's Picture Perfect stamp set. I love all the ADORABLE image from this set and shared another card earlier this year I created with it. Image I started by stamping the image onto Neenah Solar White, 110 lb, cardstock using MFT's Extreme Black Ink and colored it with Copic markers. To add a bit more life to these cuties I went over both of their noses with Glossy Accents and ...
Hi Everyone, One of my all time favorite stamps sets is Avery Elle's Winter Woodland stamp set - I have no idea how they could discontinue this set it's the most adorable stamp set! Image I stamped this sweet little bunny onto Neenah Solar White, 110 lb, cardstock using MFT's Extreme Black Ink and colored her with Copic markers. Next, I went over her eyes with a black Sakura Gelly Roll pen. Background For the background, I die cut a piece of MFT's Kraft cardstock with Simon Says ...
Hi Everyone, Can you believe that Thanksgiving is almost upon us! Crazy, right!? Since the holiday season is almost in full swing I thought I'd share my first Christmas card for 2019. This lovely card features Avery Elle's Quirky Christmas stamp set - it's so much fun! Image While I love all the images in this set my idea for this card was to only feature one so I stamped this adorable tree onto Neenah Solar White, 80 lb, cardstock using MFT's Red Hot ink. Background For the ...
