This fun image/sentiment pairing is from this fabulous *NEW* Pet Puns set! I printed the image out and then did some water coloring on the image.

MHKDesigns: Sit a Bit


Hello, friends!  Welcome to the June 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous  new sets to share this month and they cover MANY occasions!  I just know you will LOVE all the creations that my team and I have to share, as well!  Today's set is called...


And here is my card~

I went back to Photoshop for this focal panel and went with a feminine color combo. I made the image a medium gray so that the black sentiment would really POP! I added a few silver embellishments and then added my focal panel to the card base. 


I used paper from the Damsel in Distress paper pack for more texture and an extra bit of vintage vibe behind my focal panel. I love the way this card turned out! What do you think?! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

Inspired By Stamping: Sunset Beach


Hello, friends!  I'm back today with a card using some of the newest stamps from the Inspired By Stamping online store!  If you haven't grabbed this latest release, YOU NEED TO GO GRAB IT!  Joanna has totally outdone herself this time, and all the sets coordinate beautifully!  Take a peek at the card I have for you today...


To create this fabulous scene, I used stamps from the new Seaside stamp set and ink.  I stamped the chairs first thing, then masked them before sponging.  I also spritzed the sponged background, which resulted in a small bit of bleeding...oh, well!  The grass silhouettes were added after the sponging and spritzing was done.


I then added a sentiment from the new Watercolor Sentiments stamp set and a few birds from the Seaside stamp set.  Some metal bits added just a bit more shine to the scene.


After finishing my scene, I matted it with black card, then added it to a kraft card base that had been prepped with a black mat and patterned paper.  I really love the way this turned out!  What do you think?  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!


That's all for me right now!  Thank you so much for stopping by!  Make sure to go and grab all these fabulous new products from Inspired By Stamping online store, and I'll be back soon with more crafty goodness!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Inspired By Stamping: Seaside + Big Wonderful


Hiya, stamping friends! It's time for another day of the May release at the Inspired By Stamping online store! Today, we are showcasing the *NEW* Seaside stamp set.  This set is AMAZING--perfect for summer!  LOTS of beach images, and great for scene building!  Come and look at my card...


I created a border along the bottom of the focal panel using some images from the *NEW* Seaside stamp set and a few brown inks.  I added some dry embossing to mirror the sea grass and add texture, as well.


The sentiment is from the Big Wonderful stamp set--didn't I tell you on Monday that this set was super versatile?! I LOVE it!


I distressed the panel edges and added a few bits of metal bling to finish the card up.  This will be going to my fabulous husband for Father's Day. :)  I absolutely LOVE how this turned out--what do you think?  Let me know in a comment below!


That's all for me today!  Hop over to the Inspired By Stamping online store to grab this new set, and take some time to visit the Inspired By Stamping blog for more inspiration, too!  I'll be back tomorrow with more inspiration using more *NEW* products!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping!

Inspired By Stamping: Sun Ripened Pear


Hello again, stamping friends! It's time for another day of the May release at the Inspired By Stamping online store! Today, we are showcasing the *NEW* Sun-Ripened Pear stamp set.  It's a fabulous image set that has some beautiful sentiments to accompany it--you will LOVE this one!  Check out my card...


I started by adding some washi tape strips to a kraft card base. I then stamped the image from the Sun-Ripened Pear stamp set over the washi tape and paper pieced it.  I used some fun patterns that coordinated with the washi tapes.


Next, I stamped one of the fun sentiments from the Sun-Ripened Pear stamp set.  The sentiments this set come with are "Happiest Birthday", "Thank You", "It means so much to keep in touch", and "pear".  SO fabulous, and all in this fun font!


The last thing I did was add some fun metal bling to the card.  I didn't want to add more color, I felt like there was enough going on with the washi and patterned paper piecing.  What do you think?  I would love to hear your comments below!


That's all for me today!  Hop over to the Inspired By Stamping online store to grab this new set, and take some time to visit the Inspired By Stamping blog for more inspiration, too!  I'll be back tomorrow with more inspiration using more *NEW* products!  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping!
