Country Christmas

Hi stampers! Happy Tuesday! I'm switching gears to a Christmas card today, specifically with snowflakes, because it went from 70+ to 20 some here the last two days. And it snowed yesterday, in Oklahoma! It wasn't a lot but there were flurries!

Anyway, I thought this cute Christmas card would be good to share. I really love this one. I love the combo of Poppy Parade and Coastal Cabana. I also love the little touch of gingham with the snowflakes! It looks a bit country, and I'm not mad about it!

I stamped my background and then spritzed it a bit. I let it dry mostly before I flicked some ink with my marker so some of it bled a little bit. I also covered my punched out snowflakes with our Shimmery Crystal Effects which added a fun touch. A little bit of silver thread finished it off. The silver is the perfect finishing accent and I tend to not use silver too much and I really should!

You can find the full supply list in my FB group if you need it!

Happy stamping!

Thankful Pumpkin

Hi stampers! Look at me, posting on a Monday :-) This card is for you, all of my friends and readers who are here when I decide to blog and when I need you :-)

I finally ordered the Come To Gather DSP and I'm so glad I did. I love the colors and I love the way the rustic wood pattern pairs with the gingham! I also love the addition of Cajun Craze here, too! My sentiment is from the To Every Season Stamp set and I think it pairs nicely as well!

Make sure to check out the supplies in my FB group if you have any questions!

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 174

Hi stampers! Happy Friday! I'm not going to lie, I hate this card, lol!

I had a bad flare up of my occipital neuralgia yesterday so it is what it is. At least I managed to stamp something! It just didn't turn out quite as I pictured and I chose to go rest instead of a redo ;-)

Here's the challenge!

And here's what I made.

Make sure to check out the rest of the team and play along with us!

Happy stamping!

Halloween Hoot

Hi stampers! Happy Thursday! I'm sharing another card today from my live video on World Card Making Day. You can find that video and the supplies used for the card in my FB group!

It's not often that I think I have a really fantastic idea but I think this one is pretty nifty! I thought this little owl in Check You Out and these books would work perfectly with the book pattern in the Monster Bash DSP! See for yourself!

I also love these colors! I wouldn't normally put them together for Halloween but they work! And I love that they are unexpected! I cut all my books and the owl out and popped them up on dimensionals. I think those books on the DSP could be cute cut out for accents as well! I probably just gave away my genius idea, hehe!

Take look at your stamps and find unconventional ways to incorporate sets into holiday cards!

Baroque and Boos!

Hi stampers! Happy Thursday! It's like 60 out and FINALLY feels kind of like fall!!! Woohoo! I. Am. Here. For. It. I'm also here for this cute and spooky Halloween card!

I used my Basic Patterns Decorative Masks to sponge a background on. I love this one, it's like a baroque pattern. It's so spooky and extra spooky, I think, if you omit parts of it!

My image is embossed in black and then I just did a little watercoloring! You can find all the supplies linked in my FB group, make sure to join! I'm switching over to a group over my page because FB doesn't like to show you posts from pages so you'll be sure to see all the things if you join the group, they are much more user friendly! You can also set your notification settings the way you want them!

Happy stamping!

Happy Holiday Catalog Day

Hi stampers! Happy hump day! It is Wednesday, right? A three day weekend always gets me! But I'm pretty sure it is because today is the day you can order from the 2019 Holiday Catalog!

I just adore this catalog! Even though it's almost 100 here, September always feels like fall to me! And since it's September, I thought I better get a move on making Halloween stuff! This catalog has the cutest Halloween goodies! The Spooktacular Bash Bundle is just the cutest and those frames will see a lot of use outside of halloween!

When I saw the little potion bottles, I knew I had to have this bundle. I've had these guys colored and cut out on my desk for a while now just waiting to make it onto a card. I also thought they'd look super cute in frames, it feels kind of Harry Potter inspired! I saw a few other stampers doing this so they beat me, hehe!

I actually colored them in with the Pigment Sprinkles. Those colors are SO vibrant. I used a little watercolor pallet to make my colors. You don't need much powder at all or much water! These are so concentrated! IF you get too much water or color you can try to blot with a paper towel. Just a little tip. My splatters were done with my black marker and Basic Gray. My sentiment is from To Every Season which is a super cute stamp set that covers a lot of holidays! Real bang for your buck there!

Also starting today, is the DSP sale! You can find a select list of papers in the online store that are buy three, get one free! Of course, I'm not organized enough to have any projects done with them right now. We can pretend it's because I'm forced out of my stamp studio but we all know that's just me :-)

It's also an exciting time around here because I'm getting cabinets installed in my stamp studio, which is why my stamp stupid is displaced. You can see some sneak peeks over on my instagram account! I'm hoping being more organized helps me stamp more and be more creative! This card was made in a makeshift are in my living room which I actually kind of like (lol) but it can't stay there!

Happy stamping!

Mailable Monday - Holiday 2019 First Sneak Peek

Hi stampers and happy Monday! I have a sneak peek from the upcoming 2019 Holiday Catalog today! It comes out September 4th! If you have ordered from me in the last 12 months, you should be getting one! If you need one, let me know!

I'll still be sharing Annual Catalog creations mixed in with the Holiday stuff so don't worry if one or the other isn't your thing! There will be plenty of each in the coming weeks!

I went with something super simple to start because I've been limited on time! This card uses a notecard and the To Every Season Bundle which is a super cute multi season/holiday stamp set and a little punch pack. This bundle is great for the beginner stamper and covers a wide range of the season from fall to Halloween, winter and Christmas, and even Valentine's day!

Of course I started with Halloween because who can resist these cute bats??????

One other little sneaky peek is that Black Scalloped Ribbon, so fun! I hope you enjoyed this peek! If you want to see more, I did a little unboxing video of my order!
