Color Curves

August 31, 2022

Hi there! Today I have another “quilt inspired” project to share with you. My pinterest board is nothing but geometric quilt patterns these days. I just can’t seem to get enough of the clean, simple and geometric color of it all.

SSS-Nesting Circles

I love that you can use, for the most part, products that you probably already have on hand. For this card I simple die cut several shades of solid colored cardstock using a 2″ circle die. I trimmed the die cut circles into quarters using my trimmer and pieced them together like this gorgeous quilt below.

This quilt design is from All People Quilt. For the sentiment I used the Reverse Well Wishes Sentiment Strips. I used one of the Sentiment Label Dies to trim it out and pop it up into the center.

Can you believe it’s the last day of August? Tonight the STAMPtember® release goes live and it is a doozy! I’ll be back later to share more about that. In fact, I’ll be back almost every day this month and I apologize in advance if you get sick of my. STAMPtember® is a month full of non-stop collabs and exciting new products. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Circle Patterns

August 30, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a fun, circle pattern design created using strips of cardstock and a circle die.

SSS-Take Note

The idea for this fun, striped circle pattern came from this gorgeous quilt pattern that I came across on Pinterest.

Isn’t this an incredible quilt pattern? Here’s another great pic. You can find more of Lisa Hofmann-Maurer’s amazing work HERE.

I trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock to 1/4″ and adhered them to a panel. Then I cut the strips out using a circle die. The sentiment is from the Take Note stamp set.

I have a quick little reel showing the process below.

Diamond Tiles

August 29, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the Diamond Tiles die set. This is one of my favorite die sets for several reasons. The first being that my daughter, Alex, designed this die set years ago and of course they lend themselves perfectly to my geometric loving heart. I used several shades of solid colored cardstock and pieced them together to create this fun pattern.

For the sentiment I used one of the CZ Reverse Birthday Sentiment Strips with the Sentiment Label dies.

Let’s Celebrate

August 23, 2022

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a simple birthday card using the Let’s Celebrate stamp set included in the September Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

I simply stamped the banner several times staggering it down the card and colored the flags with Copics.

Apple Orchard & Honeycomb

August 20, 2022

Hi there! I’m back featuring more of the fabulous, new August release with Concord & 9th for their Feature Friday series.

Concord & 9th-Apple Orchard Turnabout

My first card, above, features the Apple Orchard Turnabout Stamp on the background. This creates the cutes pattern with customizable color schemes. I die cut the large apple using the Apple Orchard dies and added a large sentiment from the Apple Orchard Stamp Set.

Concord & 9th-Apple Orchard

For my second card, above, I die cut several smaller apples from the Apple Orchard dies out of Concord & 9th solid colored cardstock and blended some color onto the sides of the apples. I embossed a sentiment from Apple Orchard. You can check out the video of these two cards HERE!

Concord & 9th-Honeycomb

These next two cards feature the Honeycomb Quilt Top die set. For the card above I die cut several hexagons and trimmed them in half to create two-toned hexagons. The sentiment is from the Friendly Flowers die set.

Concord & 9th-Honeycomb, Pick a Pattern

For this last card I stamped the die cut hexagons using the Pick a Pattern stamp set. I love these tone on tone patterned hexagons popped up onto mushroom cardstock. You can also check out the video of these cards HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by!
