Sweet Snowman with GI

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!
I just love their sweet stamps!!

We've got lots of snow on the ground here in WI!  So we've spent a lot of time in the cold having fun!!  Living on our new land, we've been able to have a lot of fun ice skating on our pond!

So with my mind on winter, I thought it would be fun to work with the K105 Sweet Snowman stamp!  Getting a head-start on those Christmas cards for next year!!

Isn't he sweet!  I just love snowmen!!

Another view:

I used the C427 Season's Greetings sentiment!

I just love creating shaker cards, they are so much fun!!!

Hugs and Kisses with IBS

Good Morning Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today, featuring a sweet Valentine card!

I started out by die cutting a heart out of thin scrap paper from my Cameo.

I had the idea to use this heart stencil I created to create a large looking stamp, using a few little stamps from the My Valentine's stamp set!

I used two of the hearts, the "x" and "o"!

 Here's a look at my in progress stamping:

Isn't it fun!

I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out!

The heart looks as though it could have been stamp!

This was a "happy dance" moment!!  Love it!

The beautiful "Happy Valentine's Day", "hugs" and "kisses are also from the My Valentine's stamp set!

The "&" is from the Big Wonderful stamp set!

So fun!

I encourage you to create some of your own stencils!!

Winter Fun with HBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

For my post today I was inspired to use some of the adorable stamps from Honey Bee Stamps to create some project life pages for my kids albums!

My kiddos love crafting with me, so they sat down with me and helped pick the designs!!

First up is my daughters:

 We had such a fun outing on this particular day!!

I didn't take a close-up, but the bottom right picture, we added a cup of coca from the Flakey Friends set and the "hot coca" sentiment from the Flakey Sentiments stamp set!

Here's a close-up of the adorable penguin project life card:

So cute! 

The sweet penguin is from the More Flakey Friends stamp set, along with the sentiment and snowflakes!!

The cute hat and scarf I used to dress up the penguin are from the Flakey Friends stamp set!  The snow hills behind the penguin are also from that set!

My daughter loved the "Baby it's cold outside" sentiment, so we were sure to use that on one of the photos!  It's part of the Flakey Sentiments stamp set!

To add a little wintery touch to the striped purple paper, we added the "it's the most wonderful time of the year", from the Flakey Sentiments, multiple times!  Looks as if we bought the paper like that!

We had so many fun photos, that we also had to have another little pocket:

I'm so excited to finally create a shaker project life card/pocket!!  I bought the Fuse right when it came out and never got a chance to use it until now!  The kids think it is so cool!!

And now for a look at my sons:

He loved the "Snow much fun" sentiment from the Flakey Sentiments stamp set!  

We also added a "brr...brr...brr..." banner to one of his photos!

And he insisted his just had to have the cute deer from the More Flakey Friends stamp set!!

So sweet!!

We also had a mini page for his:

I absolutely love the photo of my son in the upper right!  I had my camera on and a snowball in one had and just turned around and threw it at him and quickly clicked!  Such a fun capture!  I can just hear his giggle looking at the photo!!

He also wanted a shaker in his design:

Hello Stamping Friends!

Feature Day Theme...
With Love!!

I used the super fun Treat Topper Die!

But I changed the bottom up a little bit!

Here's a look at the original Treat Topper Die die cut and the new Scallop Heart Border Die:

I trimmed off the border on the Treat Topper Die cut and added the Scallop Heart Border Die as I thought it would be more fun to use as the bottom design for this Valentine project!!

The large "Love" sentiment is part of the So Stinkin' Cute stamp set (masked the Scent with Love sentiment) and the "you" is pare of the Mother Hen stamp set (masked the Hope you get....sentiment)!!

All the stamped hearts are part of the So Stinkin' Cute stamp set!

I finished the topped off by adding Peppermint Divine Twine!!

And the best part, the CANDY!!

Bee Mine with Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

I have a sweet Valentine's Day card to share with you!

I started off by collecting my supplies and using the Brush Grunge Alpha to stamp the word "mine".

Got an idea of what sentiment I am going to create?!

Here's a sneak:

I used the Sweet As Honey stamp set to add the other half of the sentiment.  As you can see I wanted it to be sparkly!!

If you guessed that I stamped the word "bee" from that set, you are right!!

I also stamped some of the honeycomb designs, as well as some cute bumblebees and hearts!!

My entire card:

A super fun and sweet card!!

Happy Stamping!!
