Bookmarks and Cityscapes

March 31, 2015



Hello.  I have the pleasure of sharing some cute projects with you today.  Chunyuan Wu created a bookmark and card set using our This Book stamp and dies, Bookmark die, Finished Frames die, Furry Friends stamp and die and patterned paper from our Neutral Collection.  I love Chunyuan's idea of using patterned paper for the bookmark.  A subtle pattern like those in our patterned paper pads is a perfect backdrop for the cute owl and book images!


Melania Deasy used our Super stamps and dies as well as our Dotted Border Ellements and The Royal Collection A2 Folded Cards to create this cute city scene.  I love the color combination and how clean and simple this is!  Just amazing!


Thank you Chunyuan and Melania for the inspiration today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Fabulous Inspiration from Caryn and Yainea

March 30, 2015



Hello!  I have two amazingly cute cards to share with you today.  Caryn Davies created this first card using our pigment ink pads, Party Bunny stamp and dies, Balloons stamps and dies, You're Invited Die, Custom Panels die, So Happy stamp set and patterned paper from our Jewel Collection paper pad.  I adore this festive birthday card!


Yainea used our Homemade, Bottle It Up, Sending You and Get Well stamp sets to create this next card.  I love the way the patterned paper die cut hearts from our Finished Frames die set look pouring out onto that spoon! The patterned paper from our Happy Collection is subtle but adds the perfect amount of interest.  This is such a clever and fun way to combine some of our stamp sets.  I love it!


Thanks Caryn and Yainea for the fabulous inspiration.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Happy 13th & Hip HIp Hooray

March 26, 2015



Hello!  I hope that everyone's week is going well so far.  Today I have some really cute cards to share with you.  JJ Bolton created this first card using our Numbered Balloons stamp and dies and our Fill In The Blank Word dies.  I love how JJ created a shaker window out of the happy die in that set.  It is clean, simple and so fun!


Heather Campbell used our Dotted dies along with our Ellie stamp set to create this next card.  I love how she created a circle focal point using some blended ink behind the cute elephant.  


On the inside of the card Heather used our Pinked and Gift Card dies to attach a gift card.  I love Heather's idea to use these two dies together!  The gift card looks like a pretty package tied up in twine! 


Thank you JJ and Heather for the fabulous inspiration.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Easter Blessings With Maska

Hello.  I have one artsy and one cute card to share with you today.  Chunyuan Wu stamped the images from our Easter Blessings stamp set onto a die cut panel from our Finished Frames die set.   I love the modern and artsy feel of the card.  The panel looks great on one of our Orchid top folding note cards.


Melania Deasy created this adorable shaker card using our Ellie, Build A Banner and Happy Camper stamps and dies.  By adding color to the back of the shaker window, Melania is able to create a beautiful focal point.  I love how cute, clean and simple this is!

Spellbinders 2015 Spring Fever Partner Blog Hop

March 22, 2015






Today is an exciting day.  We are participating in the Spellbinders 2015 Spring Fever Partner Blog Hop.  This is day 1 of the hop and there are two more days to follow.   You may want to start here so that you don't miss any of the inspiration and festivities.  Our friends at Spellbinders have provided two of our Design Team members with dies and as you will see, they work so well with our inks, stamps and patterned paper!  Let's get to the projects shall we?  Be sure to go all the way to the bottom of this post to enter to win a giveaway from Spellbinders and one from us right here on our blog!

This first project is by our very own Katie Gehring.  Isn't this gorgeous?!
"I used the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Butterfly die along with Avery Elle’s Amazing Stamp Set to create a colorful card for my daughter.  She went camping with her Girl Scout troop over the weekend and it’s been a tradition that I tuck a handmade card in her journal so that she know we are thinking about her and looking forward to hearing about her adventures.  The Butterfly D-Lites die is so gorgeously intricate all on it’s own, but I decided to alter it a bit by covering it with a wash of rainbow colors. 



To make the rainbow butterfly, I die cut the butterfly from watercolor paper and sponged on Distress Ink.  I continued adding ink with a sponge dauber until the butterfly die cut was filled in completely. 



To soften and blend the colors, I brushed over the die cut with a wet paint brush and I sprayed it with glimmer mist.  

After allowing some time for the die cut to dry, I used foam tape to adhere the butterfly to a black card stock panel on which I had stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Amazing stamp set. 



I love the contrast between the black and white with the rainbow-colored butterfly.  The black and white patterned paper is from the Neutral Collection paper pad.  It’s hard to see in the pictures, but the shimmer spray adds a nice touch of sparkle too. "


 
 Karolyn Loncon created this next project.  I adore the sweet scene that she created!! 
It is fabulous!

Inspiration from Katie and Karolyn

March 20, 2015



Hello!  Today I have some terrific projects by Katie Gehring and Karolyn Loncon to share with you.  Katie created this first card using our Furry Friends stamps and dies and our Woodgrain and More stamp set.  I love the way she used patterned paper from our Sorbet Collection to create the window.  It is so cute and a very clever way to create a fun and easy backdrop!


Karolyn created these cute bookplates using our This Book stamp set and You're Invited dies.  I love how cute and functional these are!




Karolyn used our Bookmark Elle-Ments Die and  Simply Said: Hello stamps and die to create this next card.  I love how she used the bookmark as a mat by turning it on it's side.  This is a great way to get even more use out of your dies.  I just adore this!


Thanks Katie and Karolyn for sharing with us today.  Thank YOU for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Four Fabulous Cards

Two great projects by Melania and Chunyuan

March 17, 2015



Hello!  I have some great inspiration from Melania Deasy and Chunyuan Wu to share with you today.  Melania created this treat bag using our Homemade, Treat Topper and Gift Card die sets as well as some patterned paper from our Happy Collection paper pad.  I love the combination of the three die sets and that golden spoon is just fantastic!


Chunyuan created this artsy card using our Humble Pie stamp set and our Build A Banner stamp and die set.  I love Chunyuan's idea to create a "sweet" background by repeatedly stamping the pies on the card base.

Easter Blessings and A Winner!

Yainea used the same Easter Blessings stamp set to create this tag.  I just adore this clever idea.  This would look great attached to a gift or even a card front!
