cherished friend

Hi everyone!!  Lori here again with a card to share with you using Long Stem Silhouettes.  I've found myself reaching for silhouette stamps lately so this set came out just in time!  :)   I love how easy it is to make gorgeous cards with this set!!  For my card I started out stamping the flowers in Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  After it cooled, from top to bottom I sponged Memento New Sprout, Bamboo Leaves and Pistachio.  I really like the look and it is fun to play with different colors!!
I hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Sending You Warm Thoughts

Hello friends...Cathy here sending you warm thoughts and cozy wishes!  The weather here and across the east coast is turning frigid so I thought I'd share a card that reflects the weather, but is adorable enough that it will warm your heart!


This is just one of the cute snowmen in Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps lineup of adorable snowmen.  It is from the Holly Jolly Christmas clear stamp set, but is also available as a digi.  This jolly fellow was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and popped up on some decorative label dies.  A piece of Echo Park DP was the perfect background along with some snowflake embossing for texture.  The sentiment is from the Cozy Friends stamp set.  Some ribbon, a snowflake punch, and some rhinestones finish the card.  The sketch used is from The Sweet Stop this week and the "spin" was to use a snowman somewhere on your card creation.  Hope I've inspired you to grab a sweet snowman image and send your own warm wishes!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a blessed week and stay warm!

Hugs,
Cathy

For You - Long Stem Silhouettes


Happy Saturday everyone~
It is Maki and I have one card to show you today. I made this with Long Stem Silhouettes and some pretty designer papers I had.
The long stem image was little washed out from the photo but it is actually dark brown like the twine I used.


Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you for stopping by.

Hello my friends! Giovana here with a very sweet card using "Cute Critters" set. I decided to make a pretty pink bunny card :)
I stamped the image on Watercolor Paper in Black Archival Ink and colored it with Distress Re-inkers !! I embellished my card with this cute seam binding ribbon and paper flower, as always I had to add some stitches :)


Hope you like it!!
Have a fantastic day!!

The Sea


Hi there, it's Ceal to share with you today.

The set I chose to showcase is this classic elegance set,  The Sea, its so gorgeous and versatile, and I just love the sentiments. I chose the Mark passage sentiment because this is an encouragement card, and how encouraging it is to know that Jesus is in the same boat you are!  

For my background I sponged distress inks in blue, purple and yellow.

For You With Love


Hi everyone!! This is Lori from Smiling While Stamping!!  I'm so excited to be this months guest designer. Thank you so much to Janette and Korin for having me!!!

I couldn't resist this adorable puppy from the new Mini Critters set!!  It reminds me of our dear Cocoa who was with us just about 15 years, so I had to color the collar pink in honor of her!  I added a little drop of Glossy Accents to her nose and a little silver pearl on the tag.  I'm having a lot of fun playing with this great little set. I think next I will be making some Valentines for the little people in our lives!  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I will be back next Tuesday with another post!!

Long Stem Silhouettes

Good Morning! It's Monika here today, bringing you a CAS card using our brand new Long Stem Silhouettes clear stamp set. I love working with silhouette images, because they can be bold or soft... and work great with simple designs.

LongStemSilhouettesCASVellum

I've been drawn to neutral colors, so today I picked cream and dark brown. I stamped the silhouette images in the background, and on top of the vellum piece, which was then heat embossed. Silhouettes images are also great for just filling the 'empty space'... so I stamped it under the circle greeting (Vintage Postcard clear stamp set) for more 'dimension'.

For the border strip, I used Hearts and Stars Scallop Border Die set. The other greeting came from New Beginning clear stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today,
Monika

Thank Ewe!


Hi there!

Jessica here popping in today to share a card I made with the adorable new Mini Critters little lamb image and the coordinating sentiment from the Cute Critters' stamp set.  The tiny heart is from the Bottom of my Heart stamp set.

My card is uses a simple layout so the focus is solely on the sweet stamp sets that were just recently released.  I added some diamond stickles to the heart and little lamb's fur for a bit of sparkle.

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday and get a chance to do some stamping!
Jessica
