Love Wishes ~ CI219

Hello Friends!  I'm so excited for today's card because it's one I created as a Guest Designer with Colour Inkspiration!  Our colors for the challenge are Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon, Lost Lagoon, and Crumb Cake.  

I've been needing a bunch of wedding and anniversary cards lately, so that's what I wanted to make.  I used the new stamp set Sweetly Sentimental and I paired it with the dies and sentiments from Delightful Wishes.  

It's kind of  hard to see in the photos, but the main yellow flower is "puffy". I stamped the flowers on the main scalloped panel and then stamped a cut a second big yellow flower.  I manipulated the paper on the back of the flower to give it some dimension and make it look "puffy".  I popped the second flower over the top of the first one with dimensionals.  It really gives a cool look and makes this card a little extra special!  

Here's a list of my supplies......

Stamps: Sweetly Sentimental, Delightful Wishes

Ink: Memento Black, Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake

Paper: Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil, Country Wood DSP, Everyday Essentials DSP

Accessories: Delightful Wishes dies, Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Forever and Always Autumn ~ HSS499, FF220

Hello Friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for October.  Our lovely colors are Timid Tiger, Cajun Craze, and Misty Moonlight.  I added in a touch of Cloud Cover....I know it's technically not a neutral, but it felt like that to me on this card, so I used it as a neutral addition.  

This card came together out of a bunch of scraps I had from other projects and I know I've said it before, but I love it when that happens.  

I'm playing along with Festive Friday too! You have to use at least 3 items from the inspiration list, but I'm using four: orange, Mesh (my gold leaves), die cuts, and torn paper. 

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Itty Bitty Greetings

Ink: Craft White, Versamark, Cajun Craze

Paper: Misty Moonlight, Timid Tiger, Cajun Craze, Cloud Cover, White, Gold Foil, Country Woods DSP

Accessories: Intricate Leaves dies, Filled With Sweetness dies, Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies, Gold dots, Sunflower 3D EF, Basics EF, Gold Cord, Secret Sea Satin Band Ribbon

80's Pastel Rainbow ~ HSS497, CI217

Hello stampers and friends! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge for September.  I'm also playing along with the color challenge from Colour Inkspiration. I came across a video recently showing nostalgic pastel colored items from the 80's. A pastel rainbow caught my eye, so that's where this inspiration comes from! 

I love to be able to use all my old stamps and stash along with new things and that's what I've done here. Current products I used are the Shimmering Stripes specialty paper, Banner Sayings punch, and In-Color Butterfly embellishments. 

Here's a list of my supplies......

Secret Sea Sympathy ~ HSS496, AYSI380

Hey friends! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments September color challenge. We have fallish color palette of Secret Sea, Cajun Craze, and Pool Party.  I also used the sketch challenge from As You See It #380. My card features a gorgeous peice of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I added leaf diecuts in the challenge colors from the Changing Leaves die set. Everything is settled on a Cajun Craze background piece cut from Ornate Layers dies.

The melancholy feel of the DSP seemed to me like it called for a sympathy sentiment, so I pulled out my Heal Your Heart set.  

I finished the foliage cluster with a couple small snippets of Night of Navy corduroy ribbon that I brushed with a Secret Sea blends marker and a linen thread bow. A few glossy dots finish out the embellishments. 

The whole main panel is splattered with Secret Sea blends marker.

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Heal Your Heart 

Paper: Secret Sea, Cajun Craze, Pool Party, Beautiful Gallery DSP

Ink: Secret Sea ink and Blends, Cajun Craze 

Accessories: Changing Leaves and Ornate Layers dies, Linen Thread, corduroy ribbon, glossy dots

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Checkered Cherry Sweet ~ HSS495

Hello Friends!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge for August.  I chose to be inspired by the cherry picture.  I'm continuing on with my fruit kick, as you can tell from may last couple posts.  This time I used the DSP from Homemade Sweetness and the cherry image from a retired Paper Pumpkin set called Lots of Pun.  I thought it would be cute to paper piece the cherry with this fun checkered DSP. 

 Here's a list of my supplies...

Stamps: Lots of Pun

Ink: Misty Moonlight, Memento Black, Strawberry Slush

Paper: Misty Moonlight, White, Homemade Sweetness DSP, Dandy Designs DSP

Accessories: Filled with Sweetness dies, Traditional Sparkling Sequins

Blueberries For My Honey ~ FMS749

Hello friends!  Today's card is one that I made for my Husband for his upcoming birthday.  He's a big fan of blueberry pie and every year on his birthday I make him one.  I thought this would be a cute card to give him along with his pie.  I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  It's been a long, long time since I've been able to play along with this challenge.  One of the requirements for FMS is to keep things clean and simple.  This isn't my usual style and I really had to restrain myself from adding a bunch of extras!  Everything worked out well, though, because I feel like cards for men are usually not so fussy.  

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: Words and Wishes, Filled with Sweetness

Paper: watercolor, Blueberry Bushel, White, Dandy Designs DSP

Ink: Blueberry Bushel ink and Blends, Granny Apple Green Blends, Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Filled with Sweetness, Unbounded Love, and Natures Symphony dies

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
