Help Me Grow Dies

 

Happy Tuesday! Time for a Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge. I think I enjoy the color challenges most because I feel like I tend to always use the same colors and this really gets me outside of my box. I could resist the Help Me Grow Dies for my card today. I used the smooshing technique with the 3 colors from the challenge on watercolor paper and then die cut the pieces out. I did use Stampin' Blends to add a little shadow and dimension also.

If you do not have these dies, grab them now! They have so many wonderful stand alone dies! For the greeting I used the Prayers and Promises Stamp Set. I love how it fit so perfectly and it made me think how if God takes care of our plants and flowers how much more He will take care of me.  

I mounted it on a Textured Notes Die (sadly retired) and then used the April Product of the month behind that, Eyelet Bloom Die (only $5 with a $75 purchase) another must have!

I look forward to all the fun creations that you make this week with the color combo. Have a wonderful week!

Cutest Crew Bundle Birds

 

Hello and back again with another card with the Cutest Crew Bundle. Can you tell how much I love this? I combined again with the Country Woods DSP since I had it on my desk from the card yesterday. I also used a retired embossing folder and the retired die for the Country Woods die cut piece behind the birds, but you could use any shape if trying to create this card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cutest Crew Cats!

 

How adorable are these little cats from the Cutest Crew Bundle? Today I stamped with Staz On ink and watercolored them and used the die to cut them out. I combined them with Country Woods DSP. If you have not gotten this paper yet, order today! It is my favorite paper! 

Thanks for stopping by today and have a blessed day!

(sorry about the color difference in the pictures. they are the same card just guess my lighting changed)

Made with Sweetness Dies

 

Today I have a card full of bright colorful fruit from the Made with Sweetness Dies and colored them with Stampin' Blends. I die cut all the fruit from Basic White Cardstock and then enjoyed the coloring process. I mounted it all on a strip of Basic White Cardstock and then used a large piece of  Homemade Sweetness DSP, I would highly recommend this die set and the DSP, they are so fresh and beautiful! The birthday greeting is from the Cutest Crew Bundle.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Gears & Textures with Trusty Tools

 

This card was inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge. I used a few of the colors from the pictures to get the creative juices flowing. I used the Gears & Textures Bundle and the Trusty Tools Dies along with the retired trusty tools dsp. Last when I checked the dies were greatly discounted in the last chance section of the SU store. I created this cute tool box with the dies and the Country Woods DSP and filled it with many gears and tools. 

I really thought this would be a fun Father's Day card. What do you think? I hope this inspires you to join the challenge as well as combine some of those stamps and dies you have in your stash! You will be surprised at what you can create! Have a wonderful day!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #486

 

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge was a fun challenge for this week. I was drawn to the black and white flags. I pulled out some retired black and white stripped SU paper and the Blessed Beginnings Bundle. After I used the Everyday Arches Die on the black and white paper I knew I wanted to make 2 cards. One with the negative and one with the arch die. I watercolored one of the churches and the other colored with Stampin' Blends. 

For this card I used a retired embossing folder, however I think you could really use any one you have on hand. I white heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock.

For this card my sentiment is from a set that I believe is no longer available. I mounted it on black card stock so that it would stand out from the background.

I hope you are inspired to create from these fun images on the challenge! I look forward to seeing what you create! Have a blessed day!

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!
