Colorado Craft Company STAMPtember® Collaboration-Lovely Legs

September 3, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the VERY 1st EXCLUSIVE STAMPtember® Collaboration with the Colorado Craft Company called Lovely Legs!

Colorado Craft Company STAMPtember® Collaboration-Lovely Legs

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copics.

I stamped the sentiment onto a Fog panel and popped it up on top to frame the image. I also popped another Fog strip on bottom. Using the Diagonal Stripes background stamp I added a pop of pattern to the bottom of the card.

STAMPtember® Blog Party

September 2, 2019

Hi there & happy STAMPtember®! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a special STAMPtember® Blog Party! You can check out the amazing new release HERE!

SSS-Floral Bundle & Friend

I’ve created a couple of projects featuring the Floral Bundle die along with the Friend die.

SSS-Floral Bundle & Friend

For this first card I created a colorful background by adhering strips of solid colored cardstock onto a panel. This really makes the white Floral Bundle die cut pop. I feel like I’ve done this same look every week, but you know what they say? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

SSS-Floral Bundle & Friend

For this next card I went ultra simple. I simply die cut the Floral Bundle die onto a kraft card base.

For the sentiment I used the Friend die cut again, but this time without the shadow outline behind. I added a few enamel dots for a bit of color.

Distress Oxide Sprays

August 31, 2019

Hi there! Today I have a couple of simple cards to share that I created using the yummy, new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Spray colors.

Distress Oxide Sprays & CZ-You Got This

I masked off simple angles to let the spray colors overlap. These new colors are gorgeous and really have a vibrant result on the Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock.

Distress Oxide Sprays & CZ-You Got This

For the sentiment I used the CZ You Got This stamp set and coordinating dies. I used one of the Rounded Corner Rectangle dies to create a window opening for one card.

Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Look for the Rainbows

August 28, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a super simple shaker using some of the fun products included in the September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Look for the Rainbows

The kit includes some gorgeous Kaleidoscope pattern paper by Vicki Boutin that I used and die cut a window opening using a Nested Circle die. I backed the opening with acetate and added a double layer of foam tape to give the scrumptious Pure Sheen Gems room to shake along with some other sequins.

SSS-Look for the Rainbows

The sentiment is from the the Look for the Rainbows stamp set that is also included in the kit. I love this lyric from the song in the Wizard of Oz.

SSS-Look for the Rainbows

Sometimes a simple shaker is all you need when you have a great sentiment, rainbow pattern paper and scrumptious gems & sequins. Here’s to a rainbow kinda day:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey Sassy

August 27, 2019
SSS-Scallop Waves, Picture Book Unicorn, CZ Hey Mama

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a sassy little card that I made for my daughter to send to her friend. For the background I used the Scallop Waves stamp and colored several of the bows with Copics. I initially wanted to color each tiny little rainbow on the background with rainbow colors, but then I chose the easy route and went just with the pinks.

SSS-Scallop Waves, Picture Book Unicorn, CZ Hey Mama

I added the Picture Book Unicorn that was also colored with Copics. For the sentiment I used the CZ Hey Mama dies set & added the “sassy” from the CZ Hello You stamp set.

That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
