Consume Cocktails 21st Birthday ~ CI202, CTC555

Hello friends! Today's card is a custom order I fulfilled for someone's special birthday.  I knew I could use the colors from Colour Inkspiration and make some super fun cocktails using a favorite of mine, {Cheers and Sips}. I also used {Love You More Than} for the sentiments to complete the cocktail theme.  I also used Casing the Catty's case a template Challenge. I loosely cased the scrapbook page layout, circled below, transforming it into card form. I played off the circles by using my dots Basics EF. 
I used blending brushes to achieve the color in the cocktail glasses.

Love You More Than Coffee ~ HSS481, IB373

Hi friends! Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for February and the colors are perfect for a Valentines card! I recently picked up the last chance set More Than Autumn, and I'm super happy I did! I love the cutesy donuts and coffees, as well as all the other goodies this set has. I know I'll be using it quite a bit. 
I brushed on a bunch of Wink of Stella onto the hearts on the front of the coffee cups, the whipped cream, and the donut sprinkles. It doesn't really show in the photo, but it has a ton of shimmer in real life!
I'm also playing along with Inspired By Challenge #373 and The Paper Players "love is in the air" challenge #771.





Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: More Than Autumn
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Bubble Bath, Strawberry Slush, Crumb Cake blends; Black Memento
Paper: Same as inks, White and Black

Seasonal Aspens ~ HSS480, JAI777, TCC223

Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Photo Inspiration Challenge #480.  I was inspired by the tree photo mainly.  I knew right away I wanted to use my Aspen tree dies and the coordinating stamp set, which includes the cut, fat little bird.  I don't know why, but I've always liked fat little birds. This little guy has been laying on my desk for over two years, I'm certain.  I've held onto him because I knew there would be a project for him some day!  Today was the day! I was experimenting with coloring him using only blending brushes. I feel like he was destined to be perched in these wintery aspens and Pines on this card today. This wintery seasonal scene is also perfect for Just Add Ink's Just Add Something Seasonal Challenge.  Here in NE Montana we've been having a lot of winter fog.  It coats the trees with frost an makes things so beautiful!  That's what this card brings to mind. Everything is white and icy blue.  I'm also playing along with The Card Concept color challenge.  The bird fits perfectly within the challenge colors.  I'm considering Cloud Cover color more of a neutral.







Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Perched in a tree, Delicate pines, Elements of text
Ink: Cloud Cover, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, black, versamark
Paper: Cloud Cover, Pecan Pie, White, Vellum
Accessories: Linen thread, Pearls of Beauty, Aspen Trees dies, Thoughtful Moments dies, White EP, Delicate Pines dies

Nature's Symphony Great Guy ~ HSS479


Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments first challenge for 2026, which is a sketch challenge.  I decided to not only follower the sketch, but also use the neutral colors from the sketch, as well.  I pulled out my new Nature's Symphony set, as well at the main focal leaf sprig from Covered In Flowers Accents.  The crosshatch stamp in background is an oldie, but goodie from Notes of Nature. 
The neutrals I used were Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Gray Granite, Secret Sea, and a little bit of Early Espresso ink. I wanted to use the "Guy" sentiment from the Nature's Symphony and I thought the neutral colors keep the card more on the masculine side.  The sentiment is stamped on a strip of watercolor paper.  I liked the little bit of texture it has.







Here's a list of my supplies...
Stamps: Nature's Symphony, Notes of Nature
Ink: Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Early Espresso, Secret Sea
Paper: Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Vellum, Very Vanilla, Watercolor
Accessories: Gray Granite bakers twine, Moody Palette Glossy Dots, Nature's Symphony dies, Covered In Flowers accents

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Cheers and Sips 21 ~ GDP528


Hello!  Today's card is one I made for my son to celebrate his 21st birthday.  I cased the designer, Ann Alexander, for the Global Design Project challenge #528.  
Since the theme was turning 21, I chose to go with Cheers and Sips.  I fussy cut these fun glasses out of the DSP and arranged them to mimic the flower on Ann's card.  The vertical strip of DSP is also from Cheers and Sips.  I chose to go with a color palette of Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, and Timid Tiger.  I was trying to stick with masculine colors.





Here's a list of my supplies...
Stamps: Cheers and Sips
Ink: Secret Sea, Versa Mark
Paper: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Cheers and Sips DSP
Accessories: Moody Palette Glossy Dots, Garden & Glass EF

Classic Merry Christmas To You ~ HSS478, FF199, PP767




Hello!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for December. This is our last challenge for 2025.  Our colors are Shaded Spruce, Beige, and Real Red.  I just love the beige Need For Tweed DSP, so that was my starting point.  I also wanted to go very traditional Christmas with my images since these are pretty iconic Christmas colors.  I chose Spruced Up for the trees and then added in some candy canes and presents from the set to take in the Festive Friday Challenge and The Paper Players. Snow goes hand in hand with Christmas, so I added the Snowflake Sky embossed background, as well as a larger Iridescent Snowflake behind the trees.  The Sentiment is from Christmas Labels and feels very traditional too.  Some classic Real Red grosgrain ribbon and traditional sparkle sequins round out my classic Christmas card.





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

Stamps: Spruced UP, Christmas Labels

Ink: Shaded Spruce, Real Red, Versamark

Paper: Basic Beige, Real Red, White, Shaded Spruce

Accessories: Spruced Up and Christmas Label dies, Snowflake Sky EF, White EP, Real Red grosgrain ribbon, Iridescent Snowflake, Traditional Sparkle Sequins, White Bakers Twine.
