CARD: Thank You Hydrangeas

Hi Stampers, My all time favorite flower ever is the Hydrangea. I'm sure those of you who know of my love of all things purple and light blue are not surprised in the least :) So of course I was super excited when I saw a few ways to create Hydrangea type flowers with the Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set. We will be stamping this sweet note card at Stamp Camp on Saturday (Come Join Us). The flowers are stamped with Sweet Sugarplum and Soft Sky using the little tree stamp from Thoughtful Branches!

A Stroke of Genius Brithday Card

Hi Stampers, I love the Birthday greeting in the Painter's Palette stamp set! For this card I added a little "artistic flair" by stamping the brush strokes randomly down the side of Whisper White card stock. I wasn't sure of the color combo when I started but I think it's now one of my FAVORITES! Sweet Sugar Plum, Perfect Plum, and Blushing Bride are a trendy but soft color combo! I added just a hint of Wink of Stella to the balloon to give it a sparkle. Read more →

Ombré to Dye for

Hi Stampers! I LOVE a pretty ombré background on a card! The Layering Love stamp set is a perfect compliment to this beautiful technique! For this card I used Peekaboo Peach, Tangerine Tango, Flirty Flamingo, and Watermelon Wonder. I wet down a piece of Watercolor Paper and then used the Aqua Painter to brush on the ink, working my way down the paper strip and blending the colors together. I love the way the banner came out! I punched the bottom with the Banner Triple Punch and topped the banner with a Bow clip. I kept most of the card... Read more →

Find The Pineapple Card

Hi Stampers! Today I'm sharing a card using the Watercolor Block Background technique. This card was inspired by one created by Cindy Schuster. (Thanks for the inspiration Cindy!!) Pineapples are super Trendy right now - they're all over everything - clothes, decor, so why not your Paper Crafting projects! I used the new Pineapple stamp for the focal point on this card. I happened to be doing a little Psych binge watching last week while I was getting ready for Stamp Camp last week - so I kept having a little laugh at the find the pineapple moments as I...
