  • Aging Like Fine Wine

    Aging Like Fine Wine

    Unity has some fun new releases in celebration of Angie’s birthday. Of course when I saw this image from the Hot Flash and Happy Hour set (it is on sale right now!), I knew it would pair perfectly with the Wine Collection from Echo Park. Can you relate to either of them? Although I am not a drinker, I love the full bodied and fabulous LOL

    I then had to create another card bectause I loved the sentiment on the Ephemera (even though I don’t swear either – man I am boing LOLOL), ‘Lets try it out’ haha. I cut apart the stamped sentiment to add into the 3 blocks I put down. I often cut apart stamped sentiments to make them work for what I am doing, do you?


    Now go grab this stamp set while it is on sale!

    of course if you are looking for the paper, you can get it here:

  • Hello

    Hello

    This is my third week being guest designer over at JUGS and this week it is a mood board. I was inspired by the green, wood (I embossed the white cardstock with a wood grain) and the fashion diva 😉 I used a fun clip art image as I thought she was perfect for this inspiration.

    Here’s this week’s challenge, the Mood board

  • Sweet Wishes

    Sweet Wishes

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was pretty literal with my take on it… gave me a good excuse to use my Cake Pop stamp set from PTI again. And I will admit it took me longer to make this than it should have LOL

    I combined it with a die and sentiment stamp from The Stamps of Life.. With everything being mounted on foam squares for dimension.

    Now we would love to see how you are inspired

  • Bundle Up!

    Bundle Up!

    Are you tired of seeing winter cards from me yet?! I think they’re my favourite to make. Well I have another one that was inspired by the theme and toque at Inspired By and for the Sweater theme over on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog Lattes & Layers

    I used some older papers and ephemera from Simple Stories. The toque and sweater are from a Concord & 9th die. I also added one of my most used winter dies – the snowflake border from Poppy Stamps (I think)

    I mounted the main images on foam squares

  • Wintry Hello

    Wintry Hello

    Playing along with the Inspired By challenge and the theme challenge over at Coffee Lovers Papercrafters which is Sweater. I used the Perfect Girl Angiegirl paired with Talking Out Loud (on sale so grab it, such a fun and versatile stamp set) and the It’s a Mug Hug. I paper pieced her sweater with a scrap piece. I used to paper piece all of the time and haven’t done it for a while – you just may see more…. 😉 The Snowflake paper is also from Unity it is the Snowy Winter Greetings.

    Here are the links to the stamp sets I used:

  • Wintry, Hello

    Wintry, Hello

    Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge today once again. This time using an image from Angie Blom Designs.(on sale right now) This time I went with the theme and the blues.

    I embossed the gray panel with a snowflake pattern

    Have you played along yet?

  • Sending Warm Wishes

    Sending Warm Wishes

    I am back again with another card for the Inspired By Challenge (and I am sure it won’t be the last, I have several ideas!). For this one I was inspired by the knitting to use my new Concord & 9th Knitting Together Die Set and I loosely followed the sketch. One of my friends is a knitter and I might use this die to create a set of cards for her!

    I embossed the white panel with my sweater knit embossing folder. The sending die is from CTMH and the Warm Wishes stamp set is from the CZ Design Clear Stamps Warmest Wishes stamp set from Simon Says Stamp – love this set!

    Have you linked up at Inspired By yet? I am also playing along again in the Simon Says Challenge – New

  • Cozy Hello

    Cozy Hello

    I played along with a few challenges because I just got this Unity Snowmie stamp and I was excited to ink him up. Love how big he is. I used some scraps of my Simple Stories papers. I embossed the white background to add some interest but still keep it CAS. The sentiment is from the Hello Warm Fuzzies Whit Kit (on sale so grab it, because those snowmen and penguins in the kit are super cute!)

    I am playing along with the CAS on Friday challenge which is Snowman. I combined it with the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and the Simon Says Challenge – use something new

  • Ski Pass

    Ski Pass

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the colors and winter theme. I used a new image from Angie Blom Designs along with some papers from Simple Stories. I had the die cut frame laying on my desk for a previous project so I incorporated it and added a bit of glitter to it. I was going for the look of walking around a winter ski village (here it would be Whistler, which is on my bucket list one day to spend a weekend there). To add even more detail to the card I embossed the white cardstock and then finished off the card with some snowflakes.

    Now here are the Inspired By images, we would love for you to play along!

  • Big Squeeze

    Big Squeeze

    Today I am sharing a card that could be used for someone who just needs a hug. Wouldn’t you love to receive a little happy mail, when you’re feeling down?

    I used the Wee Little Love Courier from Unity and paired it with my Sweet Valentine Wishes collection available in my ETSY shop.

    I just love this cute little guy, what about you? If so, be sure to grab him as it is on sale right now.
