The Stamping Station: Inspired by Texture

 

It's time for The Stamping Station blog hop, and this month's theme is Inspired by Texture. I've been using products from the Homemade Sweetness Suite Collection all week, and I just can't stop crafting with them!

I've added texture in several places on my card:

• embossing the Strawberry Slush layer with the Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder
• curling the edges of the cardstock
• tearing the Designer Series Paper layers
• folding the ribbon (this was a little fussy, but I LOVE how it turned out!)

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Filled with Sweetness

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Pearlized Faceted Circles, Strawberry Slush 3/8" Faux Linen Ribbon

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Ladybug Picnic 3D Embossing Folder, Filled with Sweetness Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Make sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created! I'm sure their projects will inspire you!

 

Happy Stamping!

#TGIFC567: You're the Sweetest

The color challenge at TGIF Challenges this week has me thinking spring! 

 

I've used the Filled with Sweetness Bundle to create my card, along with the pretty floral Fresh Freesia pattern from the Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper.

 

Do you recognize the lemon? It's from another bundle that coordinates with the Filled with Sweetness Bundle - the Made with Sweetness Bundle. Say all of that 5 times fast! The Made with Sweetness Bundle is meant more for scrapbooking, but it has some fun fruit die-cuts that work well with this large jar. I've colored the textured lemon wedge with the Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends Marker for some contrast.

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card today:

Stamps: Filled with Sweetness

Ink: Lemon Lolly, Versamark

Stampin' Blends Markers: Dark Lemon Lolly

Paper: Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP

Embellishments: Black & White & Gold Baker's Twine

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tools, Filled with Sweetness Dies, Made with Sweetness Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Happy Stamping!

The Stamping Station: Layers of Love

It's time for this month's hop from The Stamping Station design team! You may remember from last month that the Creation Station and Stamping Sunday groups have merged, and this month we are debuting our new name and logo. This month's theme is Layers of Love, and I think you're going to be inspired by all of our projects!

 

For my project, I've used a brand new paper that will be released on March 3 - the Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has a beautiful bronze foil, and a sneak peek of a new In Color called Hydrangea Hue! I had a lot of fun with this theme, adding lots of little details and layers to my card. 

 

Some of my favorite details:

• the white layer embossed with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder
• those beautiful corner die cuts from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies
• the flowers and greenery fussy cut from the Delicate Dreams paper
• the Rhinestones colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blends Marker to match the paper

Be sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created. Their projects are sure to inspire you!

#TGIFC561: Giving You a Big Smooch

Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and I decided I had better get to making the cards I need! This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges to use embossing powder gave me a starting point for my card.

 

I created this Valentine's Day card for my youngest daughter. She loves to give me a big, wet kiss every night at bedtime, so this sentiment and the cute bear from the Valentine Kisses stamp set are perfect for her! I paired them with the heart outline stamp from the Endless Love stamp set. This heart was embossed in gold multiple times on Watercolor Paper, then watercolored with Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath ink. I love a good watercolor resist!

 

I've also embossed my sentiment. The card is finished off with a few extra touches of gold in the mat behind my background piece and the ribbon, as well as my favorite new embellishment - the Pearlized Faceted Circles.

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card:

Stamps: Endless Love, Valentine Kisses

Ink: Memento Black, Strawberry Slush, Versamark

Stampin' Blends Markers: Crumb Cake, Petal Pink

Paper: Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Gold Foil, Watercolor Paper

Embellishments: Pearlied Faceted Circles, Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh Ribbon

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Water Painters, Stylish Shapes Dies, Valentine Kisses Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine 

 

Happy Stamping!

Stamping Sunday - Bloom Where You're Planted

Welcome to this month's Stamping Sunday blog hop! 

 

You might have noticed that the Creation Station blog hop didn't happen this month. We have some fun news! We are merging together with the Stamping Sunday group, and will now be hopping on the third Sunday of the month. We are working on a new combined name and logo, and will debut that next month. For now, enjoy this month's projects with the theme Fresh Starts & Creative Beginnings.

 

For my project, I wanted to use some fresh new products, as well as a sentiment that speaks to my heart about new beginnings and moving forward.

 

My card is a slimline card. The front measures 4" x 7", and it will likely become a decor piece in my workspace! I've used the gorgeous new Lovely & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This paper has a touch of gold foil, and I've carried that through my design with other gold elements.

 

I've used several stamp sets here - Sweet Blooms for the sentiment and A Round of Hellos for the stamped flower.

 

I hope you've been inspired by my project today! Be sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created. You can find the hop over on Instagram, or follow the list below.

 

Happy Stamping!
