Sunday stampers challenge

Surprise! I didn't use the bonanza buddies stamp set! Yes, I decided to switch it up a little today and use a set that I have not used in a while, tea together stamp set. I love to color and this gave me a great chance to play with my stampin blends. I also used a few strips of the new best dressed dsp. This paper is so lovely! So soft and sweet. I thought that is went well with a piece of the bird ballad dsp. (something else that had not been used in a while) This sketch from the Sunday stampers really is a terrific layout! Make sure to check out what the design team did below.

I had so much fun making this card. I love the color palette of this dsp. I needed a thank you card and so I added a small thank you to the middle of the cup from the free as a bird stamp set. I thought this font went really well the card.

Thank you for stopping by and taking your time to look at my card. I really appreciate all of your encouragement and kind words.  Have a blessed week!

All days are beautiful!

The card I have made today I finally got the chance to use the stitched die that I cut out the other day. I don't know about you but I keep all my scraps, some may say I keep too much! I love to use them in creative ways. Although today's way is not that creative, I think that it turned out really cute!  Below is the card that I cut the die out.

The bird ballad designer series paper is so pretty! I have such a hard time cutting it up! But then when I make a card with it, I am so happy that I did cut it.

I really wanted to keep this card simple because the paper is kind of busy.  The perennial essence stamp set has a simple flower that when stamped in the calypso coral looked great.

I stamped the greeting and the leaves before I ran the piece through the big shot with my subtle embossing folder. This folder is good for when you want to add texture but not to much busyness.  Keep your scraps and you will never know what you can create with them! Enjoy!

Simply sweet

Who loves to color? I really enjoy so many ways to color my stamped images. It is so relaxing and easy to do while waiting at the doctors, while watching tv or just when I have a few minutes of free time.  I really try to color something most days. Even if it is just one image.  For the baby card above I had stamped many of the onesies from the sweet baby stamp set in momento ink. I knew that I wanted to color them but still had no idea what I was going to do with them. I like these colors together and decided to create a simple card by mounting them on small stitched squares. I stamped the greeting on whisper white cardstock and ran it through my big shot with the subtle embossing folder. I thought my card was finished however, I saw this sweet little heart from a project that I did not use.  It went perfect.  Don't you love when that happens!

Take time today to color something. I believe it will spark joy in your day!
