Once upon a Time

Hi there,

it's Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "Background with Small Stamps". I used the Lawn Fawn Silly Goose! stamp set on my project:

• cut out a My Favorite Things Wonky Stitched Rectangle from kraft cardstock
• create a background using small stamps from the Lawn Fawn Silly Goose! and the Lawn Fawn Little Woodland Library stamp sets and 49 and Market Cappuccino 
• create another background with the help of an embossing folder and Distress Ink Walnut Stain
• stamp one of the images from the Lawn Fawn Silly Goose! set with Gina K. Obsidian
• color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• stamp the sentiment from the Clearly Besotted Stamps Bedtime Story set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Opaque Vanilla White embossing powder
• wrap some neutral twine around the base background before assembling the card

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Flower Greetings

Hi there,

I created this watercolor card using the new Karten-Kunst Elegante Pfingstrose stamp set:

• stamp the Karten-Kunst Elegante Pfingstrose with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish on a piece of watercolor paper
• color the image with Frau von Bommel watercolors
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with VersaMagic Persimmon
• add strips of colored cardstock to the left and right side of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

Have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday Fox Tag

Hi there,

I created this sweet Birthday Tag for Mennys Bastelshop using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Fox and the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Critter Spring Accessories die sets:

• cut out a tag from grass cardstock using the Sunny Studio Stamps Mini Mat and Tag 3 die set
• cut out the Fox and its sweet little dress using the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Fox, the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Critter Spring Accessories die sets and colored cardstock
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink and add highlights with a white gel pen
• add a sentiment banner using the Clearly Besotted Stamps Tiny Type set and Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy
• add a little yellow flower around the hole and thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag

Thanks fro stopping by.

Hugs,

STAMPlorations Birthday Celebration

Hi there,

it’s time to celebrate! The STAMPlorations Birthday Celebration is officially here, and I’m thrilled to show you the projects I created for this wonderful milestone.

While my heart is full of joy for this celebration, it is also heavy with emotion, as this will be my very last post as a member of the Design Team. I joined this amazing team back in July 2015, and looking back at the past 11 years, I am filled with immense gratitude.

Shery, thank you for welcoming me into this beautiful community all those years ago. Your warmth and generosity have meant the world to me.

Thank you to my fellow team members who have supported me along the way. Let’s shower STAMPlorations with love during this Birthday Celebration (June 29 – July 3) and help ensure this wonderful business thrives for many years to come!

Love and Hugs,
