Hand Stamped Sentiments #471

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge 471 is sure to make you want to pull out your stamps and dies! I love all the images! It was a hard decision what you to use so I had to go with the Sunflower Embossing Folder! I just adore this folder and could use it on all my projects!

I started with ink blending with flirty flamingo, pumpkin pie and daffodil delight. Then ran it through with the embossing folder. I used the spritzer to add a generous amount of water and let it dry. I also added a little splatter of each color to the specific areas. I wanted the focus to be on the flowers and so I didn't cut it down much. I used a scissors to distress the edges and mounted it on a piece of Country Woods DSP. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you join the fun and create something amazing with all the inspiration above!

Scraps into cards

                        A few more scraps on my deck to create with for the  Hand Stamped Sentiment Challenge! If you haven't tried stamping on your dsp give it a try! It is really fun and you can create some really unique pieces. 

Enjoy the process and have a great day!

Sketch Challenge

 

Another idea for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. I did move the sentiment, mostly because I was going by memory to create this card. I forgot the sentiment was supposed to be on the side. But that is the fun of a sketch, it's your card so you can take and choose what you like!

I hope you join us and create your own spin on the sketch!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #470

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge is a creative way to get the juices flowing! I had a bunch of random sized scraps on my desk and so I created a few cards! 

This sketch is great for all those leftover pieces of cardstock and dsp you have and all you have to do is either add a image or a sentiment. I couldn't resist adding a few sequins and some linen thread to a few of the ideas I am sharing. 

Do you notice this new Embossing Folder in the background? I am so excited to play with it! It is part of the new items that will be available in September. Stampin' Up will have new online exclusive items as well as a holiday catalog. 

The Country Woods DSP goes with everything, if you haven't gotten a pack or 2 I would highly recommend it! (sorry about the small dog hair on the bottom of the photos, I didn't realize it until I uploaded the pics)

I would love to see what you create with this sketch! Make sure to share with everyone over at the Hand Stamped Sentiment Blog. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Color Challenge Idea

 

This card was quick and easy! I used the Everyday Arches with the Bokah Dsp in Fresh Freesia color and then die cut the leaves from the Thankful Garden Bundle with Pool Party Dsp and used a blending brush to add a little more color. The flower is whit heat embossed and die cut with Blackberry Bliss Cardstock. The greeting is also in the same cardstock with the Mini Alphabet Dies. A few Holographic dots to finish it off.

Thank you for stopping by I hope you have time to join the fun over at Hand Stamped Sentiments for the color challenge!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #469

 

Today I share with you what I created with the Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge. I have not used the Notes & Totes Dies for a while now and so I just had to pull them out for this challenge. The bag was created with the Woven Textures DSP (one of my favorites for these dies). 

For the background I used a small circle punch and cut out a few circles on a window sheet and then used a blending brush with Pool Party to make the soft circles. I love how this turned out. 

I look forward to seeing what you create! Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Notes & Totes Beach Scene

 

The Bokeh DSP is so pretty and I couldn't wait to combine it with a few of the Notes & Totes Dies. I created a little beach scene. I am sure your surprised to not see the tote bag? This die set really has so many fun items that are so versatile! They are a stand-alone. I used a few of the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge. In hindsight I think if I was to remake this card I would have pulled white picket fence down a little, it seems kinda to high for me. Other than that I think it is a really cute card. 

Thanks for dropping in today! I hope this inspires you to join the challenge and use items that might not be the main focus of the product.  Have a blessed day!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration

 

The gorgeous colors in the middle of the Hand Stamped Sentiments inspiration picture really caught my attention. I had this piece from the Memorable Blooms Dies (on the last chance list when I checked) on my desk and I used Blending Brushes to color. I was trying to figure out what to use behind the flowers and white looked a little bland and so I went with a combination of blues. I love the Perfectly Plaid Embossing Folder that I used for the background (although it is a little crooked). The greeting is also in the last chance list, Wanted to Say Dies. I added a few rhinestones also retired. Lately I have been using many of my retired items because I feel like if I bought it and love it why not use it rather than letting it sit around. I want to show that you can use whatever you have in your stash! It doesn't have to be current items. Use what you love! Enjoy the process!

Thank you for dropping in today! Have a blessed day!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #468

 

Summer vibes is the fun inspiration for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge! I loved all the colors and images and I am excited to share with you a few cards I made in the following days. For today this was the card I created. Mixed Florals Bundle is one of my favorite so I was inspired by the flower colors in the pictures. I really wanted the flowers to pop and so I stamped the image with Smoky Slate and then colored the leaves with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and the flowers with Mambo Melon, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.

I used Watercolor Pencils to add a little more dimension to the images. I used the Textured Notes Dies to frame my tulips. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, at the time I wrote this blog this set was still available on the last chance page, but I am sure any smaller sentiment would work.

Thanks for stopping by today! I am sure you will create a work of art of your own inspired by this challenge, I look forward to seeing it!
