How fun is this set of stamps! "Imagine the Possibilities"!!!

Today I have taken inspiration from a couple different cards that I've seen lately. I love the black and white with pop of color that I found in Wendy's card on Pinterest. I saw another consultant sponge color on little strips of our Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon on Pinterest as well.

For my card- I combined both of those- I used a White Daisy card base, stamped my sentiment "Imagine the possibilities" in black. I used some markers to color in a couple of the letters.
I then used a sponge dauber to color strips of the Color Ready Seam Binding in Tulip, Sorbet, Creme Brule, Pear, Lagoon, Pacifica and Gypsy. I cut the tails of my ribbons to a pennant and placed them under a strip of black cardstock.
Very simple and easy- yet so fun!

~~ Holiday Blog Hop ~~

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Holiday Blog Hop. I made a couple of things to share with you today. I created this lovely paper tree by punching a LOT of 1 1/4" circles of Mistletoe Paper, then used pearl floral pins to secure them in rows to a styrofoam cone. As I neared the top, I had to use some adhesive so that they did not flare out, but sit in the cone shape. At the top, I stamped 3 stars and adhered them to the top of the cone. Supplies: Styrofoam cone Pearl Floral Pins CTMH Mistletoe level 2 paper CTMH Mistletoe Creative Basics paper D1320 Shining Star Stamps I created a second paper tree using instructions from Tracey Mason . I created an accordion flower with a stamped sentiment for my topper on this one. Supplies: Styrofoam Cone CTMH Mistletoe Level 2 papers K& Co paper D1380 Just for the Holidays Stamps I created a total of four paper trees to sit upon my mantel! The "subway art" was a free printable from eighteen25 ....

April Showers Blog Hop

Thanks for joining me for another weekend of Blog Hoppin Fun! If you have come here from Tina's Blog , you are on the right path! Keep on hoppin until the end :) April Showers is our theme, and I went with the "shower" theme and made baby cards for baby showers! I am addicted to making these stacked present cards lately! I first saw one that my friend Jayma made, who found it on Vicki's blog. Recently, I saw a couple cute ones on Haley's blog too. I cut my paper strips at 1.25 tall x 3, 2.25 and 1.5 long. Add a ribbon down the center, or just a bow on top and you're set! I used the Sweet Baby stamp set and Polka Dot Alphabet for my sentiments. Now I'm all set for the next baby shower..... (though I don't know any preggos right now). This design is also great for Birthday Cards too!!!! I made two each of these cards and stamped Birthday sentiments on them :) Supplies: BOY: Miracle Level 2 Sweet Baby...

September Stamp of the Month- Family is Forever

Welcome to the September Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for Family is Forever If you have come here from Judy's Blog , you're on the right path. This month we have 80 amazing artists' blogs for you to visit. This stamp set is beautiful! Lately I have seen this fun and easy marker technique, so I decided to give it a try with the September Stamp of the Month. Using the ShinHan Twin Touch Markers : Leaf Green, Turquoise Blue, Vivid Green and Cerulean Blue Light, I colored diagonal streaks across the middle of my card. Then I used Archival Black Ink to Stamp Family is Forever. I stamped the little hearts in Lagoon ink and added some Blue and Green Sparkles to the bottom. I used the Die Cut Card , so I added a piece of the Lagoon Paper Fundamentals to the inside of the card. The September Stamp of the Month is available from September 1-30. It is only $5 with a $50 purchase on my webs...
