Although the Rise & Shine stamp set is no longer available, the Cup of Cheers Dies are and that is a reason to celebrate! This Sale-A-Bration stamp set was so darn cute and paired with the beautiful Sale-A-Bration Vellum, I just couldn’t resist a few more projects! The top one also uses paper from the …
Today’s card showcases the beautiful dies (and sentiments) from the Peaceful Moments Bundle! They are part of the Peaceful Poppies Suite from the new 2020 Mini Catalog! I used the floral die in both corners on a layer of vellum card stock and mounted it on a piece of the DSP from the Peaceful Poppies …
Here is another card from my September Club! Inspiring Iris is the stamp set and the frame was from the Heirloom Frames Dies. The DSP is from the Garden Lane DSP and all are from the Annual Catalog! Choosing my color combination (Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam) was easy peezy as the DSP did …
This stamp set, Inspiring Iris is on page 111 of the Annual Catalog. I am not sure why, but this set brings back fond childhood memories! It is has 2-step stamping images and is strikingly realistic. Here is a closeup of the stamps… I embossed the top layer of the card (after stamping the images) …
This Free As A Bird Bundle with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies is one of the later bundles that I could get to… but so happy that I finally did! This set was made for coloring (although the stamped image alone is beautiful)! I used my Blends Markers (Petal Pink – light and dark) for …
Have you seen all the beautiful background stamps that are in the new Annual Catalog! This one is my hands-down favorite! It is called ‘Birch’ and just look at the realistic image it produces! The background stamps are on page 156! Of course, you always need a focal image for these background stamps and …
This adorable stamp set may be a little overlooked in the new Annual Catalog. Understandable considering all the fabulous new stamp sets and bundles in there! This stamp set is called Seaside Notions. It was actually the sentiment fonts that drew me in right away. Take a look…. Balmy Blue and Sahara Sand make for …
This Sailing Home stamp set and bundle just called out for some watercoloring! And it was so easy to do! For the first card, I simply used a clear block to transfer ink from the Balmy Blue ink pad. Once I stamped the background onto the Whisper White layer, I used my Aqua Painter …
This card was my first project from the new Floral Essence Stamp Set! It is part of the Perennial Essence Suite of products that you can buy as a Suite Bundle (Item #152166 – $68). This Suite Bundle includes the Floral Essence Stamp Set, Perennial Flower Punch, Perennial Essence DSP, Perennial Essence Vellum, Organdy Striped …
I’m using one of my absolute favorites from the new Annual Catalog today – the Come Sail Away Suite! There are so many interesting elements to this stamp set and dies that the design ideas can go on and on! There’s no excuse to say we don’t have enough stamp sets suitable for masculine cards …
The Sailing Home Stamp Set is so stunning, it can truly stand alone (without the coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies) for the perfect masculine encouragement card! The Come Sail Away DSP makes the design even easier to put together! I added the sentiment from the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and cut each word out for …
