Hi Everyone, I have to confess that some of my favorite stamp sets feature cats and dogs. So, when I saw the sneak peeks of Heffy Doodle's Purrfect Day stamp set I just knew I had to have this set in my life. These kitties are so darn cute! Images I stamped most of the images for Purrfect Day onto Neenah Solar White, 110 lb, cardstock using Ink on 3's Blackout Ink and then colored them using Copic markers. Next, I cut the images using the coordinating dies and then went over the kitties ...
Hi Everyone, Today's post is going to be a bit different since it focuses on the inks I used to create my card instead of the image. When The Stamp Market announced they would be releasing their own inks I was soooo excited! The colors are swoon worthy and inks with a foam ink pad - yes please! The Inks While I'm not even close to an expert on inks I can say that from my expereince foam pads produce more solid ink coverage on the first stamping. I'm happy to report that The Stamp Market's ...
Hi Everyone, Oh, my, goodness, can you believe it's almost time for Easter? I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by!

I'm so excited to have finally created this card and be sharing it with all of you! If you'd like another idea on how to use this interactive die then checkout my Hello Bluebird's Halloween Fun ...
Hi Everyone, During all the Christmas sales I found a GREAT deal on the Spellbinders' Glimmer Hot Foil System and had to snatch it up! I've been wanting this system since it came out and was so excited to get my hands on it. I also picked up Spellbinder's Radiant Flowers Glimmer Plates and Dies as well as some extra foils. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE this system! It's so easy to use and the results are stunning. Images To create the flowers and leaves I used the Radiant Flowers ...
Hello Everyone, Looking out my windows I see signs of Spring everywhere! We've had our first daffodils and crocuses bloom. My cherry tree is full of blossoms and the world looks lovely! It's such a nice sight in these very uncertain times when the world seems so upside down. To celebrate all these lovely flowers I pulled out a stamp set I've been wanting to use for awhile, Reverse Confetti's Peony stamp set. Images For this card, I wanted to create something dramatic so I decided I would ...
Hi Everyone, Today, I wanted to share a happy card featuring one of Whimsy Stamps beautiful mermaid stamp sets. I really love their mermaid stamps including this lovely stamp set, Naia the Mermaid. Sadly, this stamp is no longer available but Whimsy does have several other beautiful mermaid stamps such as Let's be Mermaids, Elania, and Mermaid Escape. Image I stamped Naia onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using VersaFine Clair's Nocturne ink and then embossed her with Hero Arts' ...
Hi Everyone, Awhile ago Lawn Fawn came out with the adorable Magic Color Slider interactive die set and while cute I didn't see myself using it often. However, the more and more I thought about it I realized it would be fun to create an extended scene using this interactive die. So, today I'm sharing a card I made doing exactly that. Images Lawn Fawn's Toadally Awesome stamp set is so darling and I think it makes the cutest spring and summer themed cards. For today's card, I stamped every ...

I have to say I absolutely love how easy it was to use this die set to make this card! Images To create this card I knew I wanted to use the adorable little whale from the Oceans of Joy stamp set. I stamped this ...
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 ...
