The Stamps of Life: Congratulations!

Hey, all!  I'm back with another fun card using *NEW* dies available from The Stamps of Life this month!!!  Take a peek at the card I made for you today...

I used the *NEW* Congratulations die set for part of the sentiment and a stamp set from a past card kit to finish that portion off.

Some fun ribbon swirls, Banana & Powdered Sugar bakers twine, and a clear rhinestone flower accent the sentiment.

I kept this pretty CAS to show off the fun papers I used, and I really like the finished product!  I hope you like it, too!  I would love to hear your opinion in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take some time to craft and create today.  Go grab these fun products from The Stamps of Life, too!  They are so fun to work with!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping! :)

Great Impressions: Add Some Bling!

Hi, friends!  I am back today to share a new card using stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  My card today is for the C.R.A.F.T. challenge this week.  Great Impressions is sponsoring, and the theme is "Add Some Bling"!  TOO fun!  Take a peek at my offering...

I used the *NEW* H283 Louise With Ducklings image for this card.  My goal was to make a card that any child would like, so I kept with primary and secondary colors, added some rhinestone flowers and punched butterflies, and colored the image with glittery gel pens for added sparkle and shine!

I added the main panel to a card base prepped with polka dot papers.  I think this turned out super cute, and I hope you agree!  Please leave a comment below to let me know what you think!

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

The Stamps of Life: Circle Easel Card

Hey, all!  I'm back with another fun card using *NEW* products available from The Stamps of Life this month!!!  Take a peek at the fun shaped easel card I made with some of these products...

These *NEW* Circle Dies are SO fun--and they have a coordinating stitched set, too!!!  I decided the funnest way to show them off was to make a shaped easel card with the bubblegum4me and moregum4me stamps sets and Bubblegum Dies.

I even used the Circle Dies to create a stopper to hold up the easel!  They are SO versatile--and SO fun!  You gotta grab them!

I kept the colors mostly primary and bright--I think they really help accentuate the fun images and shapes!  What do you think?  I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take some time to craft and create today.  Go grab these fun products from The Stamps of Life, too!  They are so fun to work with!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping! :)

Inspired By Stamping: Orange Poppies

Hello, Inspired By Stamping friends!  I'm here today to share a card I made for a dear friend of mine recently.  I used one of my absolute favorite stamp sets, so I hope you love it as much as I do!  Take a peek...

I started by stamping the poppy bunch image from the Flower of the Month: Poppies stamp set.  I colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers, then added some glitter for shine and texture. 

I then added a sentiment from the Flower of the Month: Poppies set to the panel, a few enamel dots, and some paper piercing.  I then added some black matting so that the focal panel would POP off the card base.

I added some orange polka dot paper, and decorated the inside with another image and sentiment from the Flower of the Month: Poppies set.  I kept the inside image uncolored so that it felt more clean once a message was written.

I gave this card to a friend of mine who recently lost her husband at the age of 33.  My hope is that it brought a little sunshine into her life.  I hope that each of you takes some time to let your loved ones know how much you card today, as well.  Never take them for granted--you never know how long you will be allowed to hold them.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  That's all I have for you today, but I'll be back soon with more inspiration using fabulous products from the Inspired By Stamping online store.  Until then, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)
