Hi stampers! It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments! This week is snowflakes! Which is quite fitting since it went from about 70 degrees on Saturday to 30 some today! And it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while. I'm hoping we don't get any snow for a while though:-) I like it around Christmas and then that's it!
I had this midnight muse panel stamped with the illuminate ink for a while just sitting out on my desk and decided it was perfect to use for this challenge!
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Snowflake soiree, sweet essentials
Paper: Whisper white, early espresso, cherry cobbler, island indigo, midnight muse, silver glimmer
Ink: Early espresso, cherry cobbler, island indigo, illuminate
Accessories: Basic rhinestones
Now head on over and see the winter wonderland the DT has created and play along!
Hi stampers! Have you ever been in the middle of making a card and hate it??? Well this was me and this card last week. I had wanted to use this DSP pattern for a few weeks as I thought it would make a great background but just couldn't make it work. So, after hating it and being frustrated I just quit working on it and went to bed:-) And when I came back to it a day or two later I ended up coming up with something that I loved! I need to remember to just walk away the next time something isn't working out like I want it to! It IS a bit busy but I like it since I kept everything else pretty simple.
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Make a cake, sweet essentials
Paper: Whisper white, baja breeze, summer starfruit, midnight muse, patio party
Ink: Primrose petals, midnight muse
Accessories: Circle and scalloped circle punches, basic rhinestones
I haven't made much of anything this week with school starting and getting out of football practice pretty late and then still needing to work out as well. I've tried to stamp but I've just been tired. And it's just easier to THINK about stamping and cruise Pinterest, ha! I did just get my box of FREE stuff from my Artisan Finaliset shopping spree! So, I'll have to try to ink that stuff up this week and weekend! It was so hard to decide what to get for free. I had to make "it count", ha!!!!! Anyone else have a hard time picking free stuff???
Hi stampers! I'm back today with another card using stuff from the new Holiday Seasonal catalog and a video! I wanted to make a video on the easiest way to use the wonderfall stamp set and autumn accents bigz die together. Now, don't get confused and think this die is framelits....it's not...but I have an easy trick to make it simple to cut and stamp! I can't take credit for this idea though as it was shared on the main stage at convention. YOU can go to convention next year if you join my team this month and get the SPOOKY and cute Halloween printer's tray! And then we can hang in SLC next July and have so much fun and learn all kinds of tips and tricks! :-)
So, here is the video showing you how to cut the leaves out first and then stamp using your stamp rubber side up. It's much easier explained on the video than in words:-)
And here is the card I made. This is another one using Pintrest for inspiration and taking a card that uses non-SU supplies and re-working it to use what I have!
I LOVE the combo of the distressed dots and the wonderfall set! I sponged all the leaves to soften them up just a bit and I think the rounded corners make it a bit softer as well. I hope you enjoyed the video. If you don't already have the wonderfall set and matching die just click on the shop now button and get them! They are so awesome!
Hi stampers! Happy Tuesday...another short work week with the holiday thrown in here! I don't know if I'm going to be able to work five whole days in a row next week, lol! But now it's time for a new challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments! This week it's a fun color challenge!
I had a hard time getting back to stamping after being gone for almost two weeks but this challenge really helped me get back into the groove. It took me all weekend....but I got it and a few other cards done! Now, if I could get my diet and exercise back on track after eating out soooo much! Ugh!!!
Not a lot of stamping here...maybe that's why it was a good card to get started back to stamping:-) Now, head on over to HSS and check out the rest of the design team's creations and play along with us!
Hi stampers! Happy Tuesday! Sadly, I'm back from my Vegas vacation.....but now I'm off to a work conference until Friday....no rest for the weary! Ha! But I did manage to make it through my one day of work this week, lol! Anyway, there wasn't much stamping last week and not shaping up to be any this week either....sad!!!!! I'm going to try to make up for lost time this weekend though!
Anyway we have a fun theme challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week! Quilts! This challenge kind of makes me think of my granny! She made us lots of quilts!
And here's my card:
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Little additions, sweet essentials
Paper: Whisper white, crumb cake, early espresso, neutrals & in colors 2012-2014 DSP stacks

It's going to be a breif blog post....my brain was still on vacation and I totally forgot what day it was so here I sit VERY very late and I didn't sleep good last night (I blame vacation for this too, lol) so I'm pooped! And I need to rest up for my next trip...and to spend four days with my momma, hehe! Make sure to check out what the rest of the design team came up with and them play along!
