He has Risen!

 

Happy Holy Thursday! I created another card with the Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge for this week. I thought it would be fun to create a Easter Card. I pulled out the Faith Collection Stamps and Country Woods DSP. My middle strip is a little wide but that is the fun of a sketch, to make it your own. I hope this inspires you to make the sketch your style and have fun!

Have a blessed Holy Week!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #485

Hand Stamped Sentiments has a great sketch challenge for this week!

For my card I used the Made With Sweetness Dies to create a bunch of lemons and limes. I love the bright colors and the layering dies are just amazing! I mounted them on ripped pieces of Bokeh DSP and a layer of Perfectly Plaid Dry Embossed White Cardstock. The sentiment is from the Cutest Crew Stamp set and a few Holographic Dots to add a little sparkle!

I hope you get a chance to play and share your work over at the Hand Stamped Sentiments Blog.

Have a blessed day!

 

Cutest Crew in Blues

 

One more cute idea with the Cutest Crew Bundle for the Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge for this week. I hope you have had a chance to play along!

Have a wonderful week!

Prayers & Promises Stamp Set

 

If you are looking for a beautiful sentiment set I would highly recommend the new Prayers & Promises Stamp Set. I combined it today with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and colored the flower with ink colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge  and a water painter. The sentiment was cut out with a circle punch and then a piece of Misty Moonlight Cardstock cut out with the Spotlight On Natures Die.

Thanks for stopping by today and I am looking forward to seeing what you create with the challenge colors.

Hand Stamped Sentiments #484

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge this week is a fun color challenge. I used the  Country Woods DSP and stamped the cup from the Weekend Adventure Stamp Set with Memento Ink and fussy cut it out.  The flowers are from the same stamp set and were stamped with Staz On ink on watercolor paper so that I could use my water painter and ink pads to color. I used the color challenge colors. The background is ink smooshing with Misty Moonlight on watercolor paper and then used the Everyday Arches to die cut.

The adorable pattern paper is from the Homemade Sweetness DSP pack. This is a new online exclusive and it is adorable!

I hope you get a chance to join in the fun on the challenge. So many wonderful options with this color palette. Thank you for stopping by today!

Cutest Crew Bundle

 

Cutest Crew Bundle is one of my favorite new stamp set and die cuts and when I saw the inspiration from this week Hand Stamped Sentiments I knew I wanted to use it. I turned the image where the long vertical lines on its side.  I stamped and colored the dogs with Stampin' Blends. After I die cut the paws I backed them with smoky slate. I mounted it all on Country Woods DSP. I love the cute greetings in this set!

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!
