Gears & Texture Bundle

 

Hello! When I created the card for the hand stamped sentiments challenge yesterday I die cut and stamped many extra and even some in blue. I had so many leftover I decided to create another card.  

I am not sure which card I like better. I do know that I love the fun new Gears & Textures Bundle and I know you will also! 

Have a blessed day and thank you for stopping by!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #483

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge has some awesome inspiration for you today! I loved everything about this! I was first drawn to the vertical lines and thought of the Gears & Textures Bundle. This die set has 3 long vertical dies that I thought would look great with a few gears and lots of texture.

I liked the moody colors from the inspiration and so I used smoky slate, gray granite and basic grey for my palette. I have to admit that I really like a clean and simple card and so creating a collage style is really going outside of my comfort zone.

For a little bit of color I added a ripped piece of Country Woods DSP on the bottom. For the final touch I added a few retired sequins.

I am so excited to see what you create! Thank you for stopping by!

Blessed Beginnings Bundle

 

Blessed Beginnings Bundle (say that 3 times fast) is one of my favorite new bundles. Check it out and see all the fun dies and images. I used Masking Paper to create my church scene. I colored it with stampin blends. It is hard to see the stained glass windows that I created with several dots with the stampin blends. In person it really looks cute. It might be because I added wink of stella to make them shiny. The only die I used was the cross that I added to the church at the end. 

I used Pecan Pie Cardstock for the layer behind my scene. I embossed it with a retired embossing folder, so any would work if you wanted to recreate this card.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a blessed day!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #482

 

Hand Stamped Sentiment Challenge is a great sketch for this week. What ideas do you have for this sketch? I really wanted to make the arches work and so I tried a few different stamps and papers and ultimately decided to use the Hobby Haven DSP. If you haven't seen this paper yet you must check it out. So many fun elements. I used the Everyday Arches Dies and spattered a little Calypso Coral Ink on them and adhered them to a piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP that I had ran through my emboss machine with the Perfectly Plaid Embossing Folder.

The sentiment Faith Collection Stamp Set and I added a few retired sequins for a little bling. 

I hope you have as much fun as I did and give this sketch a try. I am looking forward to seeing what you create!

Celebrate with pink cake

 

Hi! My last card for this challenge is a fun pink cake! Stacked nice and high with all three of the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge! I used the Cake Celebration Dies (retired) however you could use the current Cake Day Dies if you would like a different kind of cake! Either way your cake will look scrumptious! I also added the Spotlight on Nature Dies to ground my cake. And of course had to use an embossing folder, Perfectly Plaid. 

Finished the card with a little pink sequins bling and a greeting from an old paper pumpkin stamp set. I always forget about all those amazing paper pumpkin stamps I have, make sure to use them.

Thanks for stopping by! I am excited to see what you create with this trio of pinks! 

Blessings and stay safe and warm!

Cheers & Sips

 

Hi and so glad your here! Today's card with the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge is a fun one! I used the Cheers & Sips Bundle (it is currently on the last chance list so grab it while you can at a discount!) So what better way to use a few pink ink colors than to create a few fun, fancy drinks. I kept this card pretty simple using both the stamps and dies. I used Stampin' Blends to color using Strawberry Slush, Flirty Flamingo and Bubble Bath Stampin Blends. The background was created with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. I almost always find that an embossing folder adds so much to a card and they are so affordable. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to share one more card with these fun colors tomorrow. Hope you have a chance to join the challenge!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #481

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge this week is all about pink! Are you a pink lover? If so, this challenge is for you! I wanted to create a card that didn't have Valentines hearts and so I will share over the next few days what pink ideas I came up with. I had to start with the adorable Cutest Onesie Bundle. This is a cute bundle that is so affordable. It would be cute for cards and even scrapbook pages.

I started with ink blending the 3 colors of pink on white cardstock, stamped them with Staz On black ink and then die cut them out. I splattered white ink refill and clean water to add a little texture. I used the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder with white cardstock for the layer behind. I placed the paper in on a diagonal for a little bit different look with the folder. I also added a few splatter of Bubble Bath Ink on this layer. 

I finished the card with a few of the sentiments from the stamp set and a few of the other die cuts. A little bling for every card with a few retired pink sequins. 

I hope this inspired you to play along with our challenge this week. I am so excited to see what you create.  I will be back tomorrow with another color challenge card. Thanks for stopping by!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #480

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge is a inspiration challenge. As soon as I saw the tote in the bottom right I knew which die set I would be using! I used the Woven Textures dsp for the tote and then ink blended the creases to create a little dimension. I stamped the Rustic Crate row of flowers with Brown Staz On Ink and watercolored them. For the little bottle I fussy cut a bottle from the Celebratory Sips DSP. I mounted it all on the panel of Beautiful Bokeh DSP. Using this was an easy way to get a nice background quickly.

I hope this inspires you to play with your stamps and dies this week and join in the fun over at the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog. I am excited to see what you come up with.

Have a blessed week!

Make a difference

 

Are you tired of the same products? I love how you can create cards with the same dies and stamps and just switch the colors and the card look so different. This card is the third one I created from the sketch from this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. I die cut so many different trees in fun colors I had to create 3 different cards. I would love to know if you do this? And which, if any are your favorite? Thanks for stopping by this week! Have a great day and I am excited to see where this sketch leads you.

Petal Pink Trees

 

Hi! Here is another card that I created with the same paper and dies as yesterday only this time I made the trees petal pink. What do you think? I also used the Textured Notes Dies and a few low profile dots. 

Hope this inspires you to join the sketch challenge! Have a great week and check back tomorrow to see one more idea with the same products! Blessings!
