There is a fun sketch and colors to find inspiration from!!

-----------------

I found some inspiration in some of the colors and the sketch!!

The sketch inspired me to use one of the awesome Panel Dies from YNS!!

I first found a sentiment I wanted to use.  I decided to use the 'Sparkle and never fade' sentiment from the Whatnot Sentiments Set Three stamp set!

With that sentiment in mind, I grabbed the Star Panel Die to create this fun shaker:

I used a bunch of glittery paper, a perfect match to the sentiment!!

Ornament on Branch

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

The month of July always really makes me start thinking of Christmas, as the saying Christmas in July comes to mind!!

So I thought I would create a Christmas card today!  D2BA has a lot of fun holiday stamp sets, you can find them here.

I started by creating my card base from white cardstock and then created a layer from silver glittery paper!! 

I then cut another layer slightly smaller from white cardstock.  On this layer I started by stamping the branch image from the Holiday Magic stamps set a few times with two green ink colors!

I used the Double Dot Circle Framelits to die cut a circle from a thin piece of paper, to create a stencil, I discarded the actual circle and used the negative piece left.  I position the stencil I created just beneath my branches and used my Distress Oxide Inks to create my ornament! 

After drying, I stamped the circle of words from the Snowman stamp set on the ornament I created with VersaMark Ink and embossed with a glittery clear embossing powder!!  

I finished my ornament up by stamping the hook from the Snowman stamp set with VersaMark Ink again and embossing with silver embossing powder!!

So beautiful!!

Have a beautiful day!

I found some inspiration in the sketch and used some of the colors to create this sweet card:

I love the Whatnot Sentiments Eleven stamp set!!  So many fun sentiments in the set!  I really like the 'You Make My Heart Super Happy' sentiment!

So I decided to use that sentiment as my main focus for my card!  

I used a mixture of YNS papers for my strips of paper!  LOVE these papers!!

I really like how this card turned out, especially since it is on the masculine side.  And not too lovey dovey!  Perfect for my son!!

Playing the Game

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

It's that time of year in our house hold!  Baseball!!

When I got the fun Hats Off stamp set from D2BA I thought it would be super fun to use it to create Project Life Pages for my kids albums!  So I printed off some photos from last year's baseball season and did just that!!

Here they are:

 I created a title card and shaker pocket using the stamp set for each of their pages!!

I really LOVE the 'NEVER let the fear of STRIKING out keep you from playing the GAME. Babe Ruth' sentiment from the set!  I thought it would make the perfect title cards for each of their pages!

For both title cards I also used a piece of Hats Off and Bright Pumpkin pattern paper!!  For the above title card I fussy cut one of the hats from the Hats Off pattern paper to add above the sentiment!  I really liked how it looked!!

A look at one of the shaker pockets:

Again I used the same paper mentioned above to tie them together!  I added some sequins to the pocket as well as stamped and die cut baseballs!!

So fun!!

On Your Special Day

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a beautiful Wedding card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I love how this elegant card turned out:

I used a piece of glittery silver cardstock for my first layer on top of my base!  I the cut a slightly smaller layer from white cardstock and embossed with one of my favorite swirly embossing folders!!  I then wrapped some ribbon around the two layers and added it to my card base.  

The large center shape is die cut from the Nested Stitched Bracket Labels (10181) die set! I then added the On Your Special Day (10199) sentiment die cut to the top of the label!  I decided it would be fun to use the same glittery paper have the word 'special stand out'!  I thought it was a nice break-up, instead of having all the words the same color.

I added some flowers and pearls from the my stash to finish off the card!  It adds the nice touch!

So elegant!!!

Have a lovely day!
