Inspired By Stamping: Big Sympathy

Hi, friends!  It is time for another release for the Inspired By Stamping store, and Joanna has some GORGEOUS sets for you this time around!  Today we are featuring the Big Sympathy set.  Take a peek at my card...

I decided to use an image from the Flower of the Month: Easter Lily stamp set for this card.  I heat embossed it in gold onto dark purple cardstock.  I then added some different glimmer mists for more texture.  The shine is absolutely gorgeous, but was really hard to photograph. :)

I added a sentiment from the Big Sympathy set, some ribbon, and glitter paper.  I edged the sentiment panel with some gold washi tape to keep the metallic theme going, too.

The card base was prepped with some purple and gold patterned paper that I inked and heat embossed in gold around the edges.  I really love the way this turned out!  I hope you do, too!  Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by, friends!  I'll be back tomorrow with another card using *NEW* stamps from Inspired By Stamping!  For more inspiration, make sure to head over to Joanna's blog for a list of those who are crafting today!  Until tomorrow, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

"What a darling set! Love the puns. My go-to eye colors for animals is blue but your green eyes and then the green accent on your sentiment gives YOUR kitty sass! My sweet sweet 11yo granddaughter is just 'getting' puns and she would definitely appreciate your clever sayings :) Thanks for the chance to win."

Please email me at mhkdesigns.etsyATgmailDOTcom 

and I will email you the set from yesterday!!!

Today we're sharing the "Mum's the Word" set...

Since autumn is upon us, I was thinking fall flowers.  I automatically thought of mums...and then I decided to make it into a more versatile set with some random sentiments. :)  Take a peek at what I created with this set + the Autumnal Accents papers...

I chose to watercolor the image from Mum's the Word and then add glimmer mist for added shine.  To create the background, I wet down a paper towel, cleaned my watercolor block, then smeared the water/ink around the panel.  I think it looks so pretty!

I used two different papers from the Autumnal Accents papers and then separated them with some crocheted trim.  The trim also acts as an anchor for the image.

My last step was to add some gold washi and rhinestones.  I also added a bunch of ribbons to the top of the notebook.  I really think this turned out beautifully--I hope you do, too!  Please leave me a comment below to let me know what you think!

MHKDesigns: Peace Dove + Serene Seaside

Hi, friends!  I am back with more inspiration using digital products from my Etsy shop, MHKDesigns!  I've been designing digital sentiments for a long time, and I thought it was time to find a way to get them out to others, so I've taken the leap. :)  I am matching my sentiments with beautiful vintage digital images--I hope you'll find something you love!  

I've got a wonderful team working with me and sharing creations made with the sets I've added to the store this month, and we'll be doing releases every other month.  This month I'm releasing 10 sets, but from here on out it will be 5 every other month.  On the other months, I'll be releasing digital printable papers and other such things.

My main reason for starting my digital sentiments was to make ones of scripture verses I love.  You just can't find them a whole lot of places, so you'll see a lot of those in my sets at MHKDesigns. :)  For more inspiration using these gorgeous sets, please check out my team!
